SHIT JUST GOT REAL: Sanders Campaign’s Breach of Clinton Data More Serious Than Disclosed

Bernie Sanders’ campaign’s breach of Hillary Clinton’s voter data may have been more extensive than previously reported, according to a person with knowledge of investigation.

According to data obtained by TIME, the Sanders campaign appears to have obtained files with lists of unique voters that the Clinton campaign had cultivated in 10 early states including Iowa and New Hampshire.

The compromised data reflects major financial investments by the Clinton campaign, and if the Sanders campaign did download and retain Clinton’s campaign data, it would mitigate some of the advantage she may have gained in voter outreach and listbuilding.

Sanders campaign taking the DNC to federal court since they reported the firewall was breached in October and they reported it to the IT vendor.

It's one thing to point out a flaw, it's quite another to take advantage of that flaw and use it to your advantage.

Until such time as named sources go on the record, this should be treated as hearsay.

The media have become reprehensible in this regard.
