Was wondering where you been. You and DWS have coffee today to discuss how she almost destroyed the Democratic party by being stupid?

I thought that everyone knew this?

I admit I was wrong when I said it was just harmless snooping.

Harmless snooping doesn't do specific searches on close races trying to get specific details.

That is why they were not victims of a knee jerk reaction. Their conduct is still being examined.

No wonder Bernie's campaign chief kept the information from him and let him learn about it from DWS more than 24 hours after they were caught. Scumbags from top to bottom. Bernie deserves better.

By unscrupulous actors trying to gain leverage. And Sanders has to clean up the mess.

And I think I'm literally the only Sanders supporter here who sees this.

It should blow over if they drop the lawsuit, though, which Sanders should do by Monday if there's no escalation by more actors in the campaign.

I suspect they were too busy integrating the data they stole into their private database to be fired, though.
