dont take an English major with a mystery novel emphasis to see where this shit comes from.
Thank you Mr Atwater!

through the seductive ways of the DNC.

candidate's data is not an honorable campaign.

Think Jimmy Carter's briefing book, and that sleazy George Will.

This is a big deal. And it has nothing to do with Atwater.

If you don't have larceny in your heart, you're not going to get into trouble, now, are you? See--THAT's where "this shit comes from."

The Sanders campaign needs to release the names of the others who accessed the material. So far, they are refusing to respond to repeated inquiries.

I can't keep up!!!!

Really, it would be more strategic to admit that Bernie's team cheated and got caught.

Blaming everybody else makes your candidate look, um, weak.

It's a desperate attempt to keep the data from Bernie.

The Clinton campaign's PTSD from losing Iowa and the entire 08 primary has been triggered.

They've gone full apeshit.

Conspiracy theory bs.

So first every single polling agency in the country is in a grand conspiracy with eachother in order to deny Sanders the nomination and now a data breach that had led to the firing of one of Sander's staffers is the fault of him being too stupid not to see a trap. Do you people even hear yourselves? It's embarrassing.

That cover blown!

Maybe the polls aren't skewed and he has picked all the low hanging fruit he can.

A Sanders staffer sees the bug, reports it to other staffers, they verify it and report it to their superior.

Their superior happens to be Josh Uretsky. Uretsky or another one of the staffers downloads a Clinton vote model file to test if the breach is real.

Uretsky cops to the whole mess and says nobody else was involved which is why the Sanders campaign is protecting their names.

The more I think about this the more I think it's nothing.

lingered where they weren't supposed to be. Regardless,I doubt Sanders will sit on this,I expect we'll hear from his campaign today.

I'd be interested if NGP VAN admits that the Sanders camp reported this or if there's a paper or email trail. If so that will come out, too.

The guy that was fired doesn't say they reported this last issue to the DNC or vendor. He says he was "testing" to see how much of Sanders stuff would be exposed and the DNC called him.

Or did you just fail to read what this OP just said? It was purposeful

How we can make up the story we want to hear.

and reported it then? This is the second round.

Sam

Sanders campaign say who they are?

Why won't they answer questions? It makes them look guilty when they don't come clean--name those names, and clarify this matter once and for all.

I don't think the DNC should allow them any access until they tell them who the others were.

It's interesting how the Sanders acolytes are fanning all over the internet trying to insist that THEY sounded the alarm, when that's apparently not the case...?

This is truly something.

Not even in what staff did, but how the Sanders supporters process it.

First, I doubt Bernie himself would have known about this. And I don't think Bernie would approve of such behavior. Immediately firing the people upholds that this is unacceptable behavior.

Sanders is not giving it up, at this point, from what I understand.

Hey, and really, I have no huge issue with this but the shifting of blame and vilifying.

So then the Sanders campaign would be forced to look at Clinton's data.

Or something like that is the current conspiracy I've been reading.

Everything is Hillary's fault.

when you've watched the very same people who scoffed and laughed at those who whined about skewed polls in 2012 make the same exact claims themselves this year. You would think they'd be embarrassed but apparently not.

It wasn't a big deal when Sanders data was exposed because he dealt with the vendor, instead of crying to the media. It could have been a DNC setup. I can see how Hill would arrange something like that.

Thanks for posting

The staffer fired was data director Josh Uretsky. But a DNC official said the access was actually undertaken by multiple Sanders staffers.

The DNC has informed the Sanders camp that it will grant it access to the data file once again after it can explain what happened and prove that it’s deleted the Clinton data, said a party official. It has also ordered up a full review of NGP VAN's systems and is considering an external, independent audit as well.
