A big deal wasn't made out of it when Howard Dean was DNC Chairman and it was resolved behind the scenes.

But I think Hillary's campaign would have handled it a lot more professionally. They wouldn't have fired a guy if he didn't do anything wrong. Their media person wouldn't have acted like a lunatic in front of a camera. They would have complied without suing the DNC.

You do realize that stealing data is a federal crime, right?

Really, it depends on if Hillary wants to pursue this. She is entitled to do so since it was her data that was stolen.

This whole thing will be a distant but unpleasant memory by Monday.

like it did in 2008.

Sadly, the Sanders campaign refused to cooperate and stronger measures were required.

Had they done so on Wednesday when the breach was revealed, they would have lost no access.

them to fuck off, until DNC took action. Then I doubt Clinton would be so childish to throw a tantrum and threaten taking 600k a day from the Democratic party.

But then Clinton has been one to support and help build the Democratic Party and her inclinations are not destruction of the party.

However, I'm also imagining the enormous uproar it would have caused in the media. They wouldn't let it go for years. If Chelsea Clinton ever ran for president, they'd still be talking about it 20 years later, like people still talk about Whitewater.

Either it would have been ignored or perhaps equally likely - a friendly and concerned phone call would have been made between the DNC and Hillary's campaign to clear up the misunderstanding. No need to make a scandal over nothing.

One thing the DNC would not have done is try to use it sabotage Hillary's campaign.

list of scandals. But, no. Let's just forget about how they behaved in 2008 and how the DNC ignored and suppressed information about breaches in Internet security when the Sanders team alerted them. They are going to play the victim and blame and blame everyone in the universe including the "great right wing conspiracy" for all their malfeasance.

Even DWS admits that Sanders knew nothing about this personally. I came to realize a while ago just how slimy the Clinton machine is. But, I was still shocked by this.

Hillary actually is a victim of Sanders campaign's data theft.
