(1,252 posts)If it is okay to hold a debate on a Saturday night and pretend that Hillary isn't hiding behind her pal, DWS - than I think it is just fine for a candidate to speak to the American so quickly after opposition forces attempt to swift boat him even if it is a Friday. I am quite sure that his management of this nonsense will draw a striking contrast between these candidates.
This is dirty politics by the DNC and by DWS and the whole thing disgusts me. This is turning into a very ugly election season.
Bernie or Bust.

(30,481 posts)I understand the desperate need of some to try to conflate the two. Endorsements matter. Something Clinton supporters have been trying to tell Sanders supporters for a while now. lol.
NowSam
(1,252 posts)That is why I am voting for Bernie Sanders. He is honest, trustworthy and demonstrates decisive leadership skills. This issue, to me, demonstrates the corruption of the DNC and DWS - at least. The fact that DWS=DNC=HRC - that is the real scandal.

(99,704 posts)Bernie's IT people reported a problem months ago. So if the buck stops here, DWS resigns!
riversedge
(70,293 posts)the cookie jar should you do it?? The data director knew not to snoop around but he did. Curiosity got to him. He has no self control and put his fingers in the cookie jar.

(99,704 posts)Wow pre investigation you gave Josh Uretsky a fair trial before the hanging. I thought only Bernie fans did that.

(18,775 posts)She should go work for the Clinton campaign in an official capacity instead of the underhanded way she's pretending to serve all Democrats.
Betty Karlson
(7,231 posts)Remember: this is the woman who left gerrymandered Republican districts intact while serving on a commission supposed to prevent gerrymandering. But that would have been harmful to her friend Ross-Lehtinen.
Matariki
(18,775 posts)Just Clinton. She needs to go.

(70,293 posts)of the reasons they are doing an audit over the weekend.

(50,446 posts)to inform the DNC about the breach, they didn't do so. It was the vendor that informed the DNC.

(15,429 posts)Instead they had four users accessing the data.
Spazito
(50,446 posts)instead of accessing it and not informing anyone.

(8,733 posts)"NGP VAN corrected the breach after the Sanders campaign alerted the company to it, according to the DNC.

(8,733 posts)If you had read the article I linked:
"Michael Briggs, Sanders' communications director, blamed NGP VAN for repeatedly dropping the firewall between the data of different Democratic campaigns even after the Sanders campaign informed the DNC months ago that the campaign data was being compromised

Spazito
(50,446 posts)instead they accessed the information first and only after doing that they informed the vendor not the DNC.
angrychair
(8,733 posts)I gave you a direct quote from the article, from the Sanders campaign and the DNC:

Spazito
(50,446 posts)more egregious, showing their accessing and downloading the data was not an 'accidental' find but, rather, a deliberate action on their part. Completely unethical actions at the very least, imo.
angrychair
(8,733 posts)It is what you want to believe because you have an agenda.
The Sanders campaign have been the only people upfront and honest about the issues with the vendor.
I think you should be asking the national chair for Hillary for president/DNC chair/person that makes all the rules why they didn't act on that information for months.
