Did I miss something?

I understand that the Sanders people are grumpy about the national and Iowa polling, and the fact the New Hampshire is becoming closer. But I really can't fathom the level of apparent outrage coming out the data breach story.

So they want to take the democratic party down with him.

Bernie is setting up for a third party run IMO.

Look at the man's history. He has always been against the party and it's candidates.

But DU's the same. Some extra crankiness, I guess when their candidate's campaign takes a hit like this.

Looking forward to that debate!

You can determine future by past behavior, the guy has made some bad moves in the past and knowing got into an area of information and copy the files into Sanders area, left a trail and three more accounts to go along with his account. I bet Sanders was more than pissed, the guy is tearing down the reputation of Sanders. Bet it was more than sit down and shut up.

they went full blown hacker mode exploiting the data and then downloading it. Mailing list would'nt be a problem but this the stuff that took years to develop on targeting Democrats and Democratic voters by the Clinton campaign....especially in the battleground states.

Of course Bernie is in hiding instead of leading. They go to court to sue when the theft itself is a crime.....

They locked them out essentially impounded their data until they can determine the extent of the damage and to find just where the downloaded data went.

Facebook, and the rest of the internet is in full Deft-com 5.

Full on #BernTheWitch rhetoric against DWS and HRC. I however find the DNC acted responsibly.

Nothing we haven't heard for the past 8-9 months.
Oh, and bernie just disgraced himself in front of the entire nation.
They're gonna need a 12 step program to get through this latest unethical heap of deep doo-doo they got themselves into.

8. This is the first time I've actually considered that the Sanders run is a Grudge Match.

I'm still not convinced, but the audacity of a lawsuit against the DNC, as opposed to a simple reconciliation, has a taint to it that's difficult to shake.

"My thought is that I will look forward to Hillary losing.

The primary or the general, either way." No problem for the jury. 3-4 leave.

Group Host(s), I'm sorry. I have no place else to vent. I'm just floored.

And PISSED OFF that I tried to be nice to these "people". Sorry. That was the last one. Really.

I understand that the breach was due to technical difficulties, and even IF DWS was behind this...it still doesn't negate the fact that proprietary Clinton campaign information was downloaded (translate: stolen) from the site.

Are they now trying to tell us that it's Wasserman-Schultz' fault that Bernie's national data director felt compelled to steal Clinton campaign proprietary data?? Are those Sanders supporters actually trying to make that inane argument??

I am deeply disappointed in Sanders. I stood ready to defend him in this, but then he dismisses the press and tells them that a presser is going to be held, and I expected, fully expected, that an apology was forthcoming. Instead, we get self-righteous outrage and threats to sue! It was then when I truly disliked the man and his campaign because they are threatening the chances of getting another Democrat to succeed President Obama - and they don't give a good goddamn, either.
