Was it ironic that I began receiving Hillary Clinton emails in October...

when I have never showed any interest in supporting her this year or in 2008? I figured that the Clinton campaign got my email address from one of the congressional campaigns I have supported in the past, but after the orchestrated dust up between Bernie and the DNC I'm thinking otherwise. DWS has gotten me to the point where I can't even think about holding my nose and voting for HRC if she were to become the Democratic nominee, but as many others have pointed out, that may be the intentions of the oligarchs pulling the strings of DWS.

1. What's really ironic...

Is that Clinton and all her little rancorous snots are all happy about snooping into everyone's files. you know, despite "the usual complaints about the first amendment." But if a failed security system allows database access by another campaign, well that's just too far!

Even if the security was failing rather regularly.
With reciprocal access.
And is run by a Clinton campaign dude.

Total coincidence that you got on a mailer though, i'm sure.

general? However I vote next November, I'm ringing up a big "No Sale" on your theory of some anonymous group of oligarchs having pulled DWS's strings to leak this sh*t to the media.

The holes in security absolutely, 100% went both ways. it wasn't a "hack" after all, it was just the security failing. And it happened frequently. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one or both of the other campaigns poked their heads into those holes, too.

I think it's very plausible that the Clinton campaign has access to Sanders' data. I'd put good money on it, in fact.

about the oligarchs having pulled DWS's strings re: this incident so that we would vote against Hillary next November if she is the nominee.

I do appreciate the OP's comment about not having received emails from the Hillary campaign until October.

I'll get yours into the mails as soon as the Post Office opens. It may take a while though, given the Christmas rush and temp postal carriers.

When you have the DNC, DWS, the Clinton supported vendor, and HRC in bed together, what would you expect?

If what you say is true, it's quite clear to me the HRC campaign did use Bernie's info in October. Hmmm. No slap on the wrist? No denial of data?

It's rigged folks.

She had NO reason to have access to my address. Now I know where she got it.
