Since when has the lack of a need for something been proof it didn't happen?

I haven't been following the accusations, and I'm not saying that an infiltration did happen. But you're not actually presenting a reason it didn't happen.

S.Prescott Harris was paid by the Hillary Campaign while organizing a Bernie event in Charleston, SC. Then later he came to NC and started organizing for Hillary?

I don't have time to watch the video, now, and maybe this is explained in it but, its hard to understand what was going on with Harris from the post.

another yet to be determined staffer. We think it was Robert Dempsy who is in Wisconsin now. He worked for Sanders until he posted the above, on the day of the NC primary. He was involved in keeping Sanders supporters away from the Moral Monday March under false pretenses, shut down campaign satellite offices weeks ahead of the election, and immediately took a job with the PA DNC affiliate the day after.

He is by no way the only one involved, we know of at least 3 so far.

Here are 4 shorter videos made by Niko House describing what he witnessed and evidence gathered.

Furthermore, there are anecdotal statements from volunteers that suggest this infiltrated sabotage has and continues to occur in numerous state campaigns.

The paranoia is strong.

The only thing Hillary supporters have infiltrated are the voting booths.

This primary season, the Bernie supporters have suggested conspiracy after conspiracy. Nothing based in fact. I find it absolutely hilarious that so many are susceptible to baseless conspiracy theories.

My suggestion? Get the giant roll of tin foil.

March 1st he's posting links to vote for Hillary. Deny all you want, but this is not just a volunteer from high school. He was a paid staffer who signed contracts to get the job and will soon be facing a judge. And he ain't the only one.

Then he chose to support Hillary. It's not nefarious. If you look at his twitter and Facebook pages, you will see he was die hard promoting Bernie until he left the campaign. He decided to get behind the winning candidate. He doesn't dis Bernie in ANY of his posts.

And links to him having to appear before a judge? I found nothing of the sort.

He was collecting a check while he was shutting down campaign offices weeks befor the election. The technical term is corporate espionage.

When this gets out, when Robert Dempsy and the rest are exposed as a bunch of hacks and Hillary's campaign is flailing like you to act like this is all politics as usual, Hillary will be lucky if she even gets to call herself a democrat anymore.

As I said before, there is nothing ANYWHERE aside from the video you posted. One guy, with NO credentials says something in a youtube video with NO evidence. And you believe it?

Wow.

the HRC operatives are just too stupid to have cooked up shit like this. Well, I guess that doesn't say much about HRC or her faithful. No matter who wins the nomination, when the forensics of the campaign are eventually sorted out, the DNC's fingerprints are going to be ALL OVER the scale of equality.

There are no operatives. This whole premise is silly. The last gasps of the supporters of a dying campaign.

If you clap real hard, maybe the story will be true. Doubtful, though.

I live in NC, and we are aware of Clinton's tactics. If NC goes for Clinton, it is because enough information about her has not reached people who have no access to the internet or other trustworthy news. We have a Republican Governor and Administration. Perhaps some of the Republicans like her, but they sure don't like Sanders. Our Democrat Progressives are solidly for Bernie.

before this apparent program of sabotage sinks the campaign. Charges of activities of sabotage have arisen so far from campaign activity in North Carolina, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan, South Carolina). Also, I what to know if sabotage occurred in Massachusetts, Texas, Ohio, Missouri, & Arizona.

It is obviously a race against time to clear & clean this up.

As a stanch Bernie supporter and a lifelong progressive, this angers me beyond words.

EYES OPEN BERNIECRATS!
