Bonus Tweet: Quote from President Obama @ his year end Press Conference.. and I'm sure he doesn't mean the candidate who's been dissing and disingenuously characterizing him.

To prolong this is to no ones advantage, except the republicans

but he will soon realize that voters in all demographics vote, and his poll numbers will demonstrate such as the actual facts are brought into light, because that will happen as the case proceeds, and though his campaign argues that they want more media attention, this will hurt him among independents

Sanders campaign's Clinton data searches appear to violate federal law.


The Sanders campaign employees who accessed the Clinton voter information without authorization appear to have run afoul of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, said Jason Weinstein, a former supervisor of the Justice Department's computer crimes section.

This might get really interesting, really fast. The question no BS'er seems able to answer is: if there was no wrongdoing on the part of the BS campaign staff, why did Josh Uretsky, who was not a minor functionary as we were first lead to believe, lose his job? And if he was a convenient political scapegoat, I hope he sues the hell out of 'em.

out of it. And, suing the DNC. If they're so proud of their grassroots campaign why did they steal Hillary's data?.. as Brian Fallon, Clinton's national press secretary, tweeted.

BS needs to apologize to Hillary.. Ha, wonder if that will happen?

Thank you, Tarheel~

Money!

The Sanders campaign said they paid half a million for those DNC lists and everyday they didn't have them cost $600,000 in contributions. Thank you for making it perfectly clear.

It still remains all about the money.

Ask any TV preacher! Ask any Congressperson!

Weaver already admitted they had no evidence when pressed by CNN... & Uretsky seems to have no scruples.

http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2015/12/19/bernie-sanders-voter-data-breach-weaver-intv-tsr.cnn

Weaver also said Sanders' data was "lost to one of the other campaigns" during an earlier breach. Fired staffer Josh Uretsky, speaking on MSNBC, said the earlier breach Weaver was referring to involved a different system than the one involved in the current scandal. Neither Weaver or Uretsky cited specific evidence that another campaign had taken Sanders' data.

He did a great job, she accepted his apology with grace. He said he will fire others if determined they are involved.

I am thinking Sanders will jump behind Hillary when she is the nominee and I think he will campaign for her in the GE. Sanders knows electing ANY of the Republicans will really send our country in a tail spin.
