"This is someone who said he was going to run a different kind of campaign. Their staff stole data from their campaign and they are now fundraising off it."

The campaign activated its email list to launch a petition against the DNC. And is' more liberal allies are joining in the fray. "Last week, the Working Families Party chose our candidate, and today, it looks like the DNC has chosen theirs," said Working Families Party National Director Dan Cantor, a reference to their endorsement of Sanders.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook let loose Friday evening, with Mook described the incident to reporters Friday evening simply "as a very egregious breach and our data was stolen. And he noted Sanders' petition email, which could be seen as a fundraising pitch for the Vermont senator.
"This is incredibly disappointing," Mook said, before driving the knife deeper. "This is someone who said he was going to run a different kind of campaign. Their staff stole data from their campaign and they are now fundraising off it."
The DNC's Wasserman Schultz almost dared Sanders to sue.
"The Sanders campaign doesn't have anything other than bluster at the moment that they can put out there," she said on CNN, arguing that her office had been "trying over the last two days to get an analysis from the Sanders campaign that at this point they have refused to provide."

I don't know, but I hope that some Hillary people are put under oath.
Discovery in a lawsuit can be a real bombshell.

This was a 39 year old professional who knew exactly what he was doing. He's the one who should be put under oath, along with the associates who assisted him.
