I've been working with the Sanders campaign

[Le Taz Hot]

since mid-July and this is what I can tell you. This man is running an honest campaign. There has not been a hint of subterfuge, or dishonesty, or a win-at-all-costs zeitgeist -- it is and has been exactly what you see. Above board. Honest. Above reproach. If it was anything else I would have been out of here at the first hint of sleaze. Sanders recently got the CWA and DFA endorsements and celebrated their 2 millionth donation and not a word from the bought-and-paid for press. Now, all of a sudden, they're writing about Sanders. One day before the debate.

The DNC, however, has scheduled the least amount of debates it could get away with and at times ensuring the FEWEST people would be watching. The fact that the Sanders campaign INFORMED THE DNC that their third-party vendor had lax security weeks ago, and this is, one day before the debates, being released to the press BY THE DNC is more than suspicious. It's business as usual for the Vichy Dem wing of the Democratic Party. You will know them by their works.

1. It is very telling that people who are outraged by

false scandals are putting logs on the fire.

I am so done with the centrists.

[Leftyforever]

2. +1

[Le Taz Hot]

4. "Centrists."

You're being kind.

[daleanime]

45. +1

3. Hello, there's a problem with the data security.

Mind if we probe other campaigns' data while it's open?

[jfern]

8. They reported the problem months ago

Yet the vendor run by a former Hillary CTO didn't fix the damn problem yet.

[RandySF]

9. So the Sanders campaign just there their guy under the bus over an accident?

[jfern]

10. Sometimes people get fired for minor things in campaigns

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thank you for your analysis of this reprehensible situation.

I agree with your conclusions.

You will know them by their works, indeed.

[jfern]

6. It's a first class rat fucking

[Fast Walker 52]

23. seems that way-- the question is practically

how badly will this affect the Sanders campaign?

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. It's blatantly obvious what corrupt DWS and her CORRUPT DNC is doing. She's NOT going to stop Bernie

Or his supporters. We know her modus operandi. We're voting for Bernie, no matter what. He's the most honest and ETHICAL politician running for president. DWS can shove her fake scandals where the sun doesn't shine and the CORRUPT CORPORATE OWNED MSM can kiss my arse.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

11. Distraction will not work--The data was accessed FOUR times....

something smells like rotten fish--and it is coming form the Sanders camp.


Sanders campaign accesses Clinton data, gets suspended from party voter files

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/18/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-dnc-suspension/

.............The New York Times said the staffer was the campaign data director. Searches were run from four user accounts while data from Clinton's campaign was exposed, the Times said. But it's difficult to say what that means, since one person could have had more than one user account.

The Sanders campaign will remain suspended until it provides the DNC with a full explanation of the episode and provides proof that any accessed data has been discarded. ................

[artislife]

12. You have got to be kidding.

It isn't like having state emails on his server and we all know how everyone in camp weathervane thought it was a non story.


I would hazard to guess, if h makes the nomination, don't expect a lot of Bernie supporters to get in line.

[Fast Walker 52]

24. hah, indeed

[madfloridian]

13. Bernie's campaign warned vendor this week, warned the DNC for months.

People could also access Bernie's info.

I believe the DNC is playing dirty now, and quite frankly it will hurt them.

[riversedge]

14. Quite frankly-the Sanders Director assessed the data FOUR times...

You can not blame that on the DNC. It was good that the Sanders camp fired this director--.

[madfloridian]

15. I can't wait for the DNC and Hillary campaign to start a criminal investigation....

And can't wait to see how that will help her win.

Sometimes integrity keeps showing through even when attacked.

Let them go for it. Then see if you can count on Bernie supporters later on.

[Paulie]

27. 4 accounts were used during the timeframe where the security was turned off

The DNC should have the logs from the system to know who did exactly what. Instead they ask the Bernie campaign what happened? Seems very odd to me.

But if I do a search for X and the system displays the entire alphabet because the system administrators are that bad, do you blame the users?

the vendor should be fired if they can't handle the job of properly running and maintaining the system.

[Cal33]

41. Yes, DWS seems to be getting desperate at Bernie's success, in spite of all of

her trickery!

[Segami]

16. Question...

from WAPO:

Officials with the Democratic National Committee have accused the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders of improperly accessing confidential voter information gathered by the rival campaign of Hillary Clinton, according to several party officials.

Does anyone have any info as to the identity of the DNC 'officials' and who informed the media?

[Le Taz Hot]

17. At the moment they seem to be "unnamed sources."

Could this POSSIBLY stink any worse?

[Segami]

18. Funny...

I peeked over to DWS's Twitter page and its pretty quiet with nothing posted regarding this breach.

[Le Taz Hot]

19. That's what the MSM is for.

[Segami]

20. Outside of DWS...

Would you happen to know who in the DNC has the authority to suspend or cut off the Bernie Campaign from the national party’s voter data?

[Le Taz Hot]

21. Other than the vice-chairs taking a vote,

something I don't think was done or it would have been announced, the only person with the authority to suspend access is DWS. Goddess, this was sloppy. If you're going to engage in this kind of crap, you damned well better be good at it or it's going to blow back on you which is exactly what's happening. Social media is on fire and it's all coming back on the DNC and DWS.

[Cal33]

42. Another favorite Republican dirty trick: Accuse your opponent of doing something dishonest that

you yourself are doing.

[ms liberty]

22. Thanks, LTH. This smells dirty.

And predictably, the junior high school clique thinks it's party time.

[nc4bo]

25. Hopefully there are back ups that can be used

Until things get sorted.

Weird server security issues they say, hmmmmm?

[klook]

26. Since most people have absolutely no idea

how databases and computer networks function, this will be presented and consumed as "Sanders campaign steals Clinton data." Any attempt to discuss the technical reality of how and why this occurred will make most people's eyes glaze over.

I hope I'm proven wrong.

[NCTraveler]

28. Seems as though you aren't a part of his inner circle. Nt

[Paka]

29. Forget the DNC.

They are in the pockets of the "fat cats." They will do anything they can dream up to bring Bernie down. We the people, cannot let that happen.

The future of the country is at stake.

[Hiraeth]

30. No need to worry: all that is needed is a dust cloth.

[riversedge]

31. Umm are you saying the Sanders data director used a cloth to cover his break in trail? He

is gone-fired but I suppose you can find him and ask.

[Hiraeth]

33. Can't take a little joke, riversedge?

[riversedge]

34. Oh I can. Just clarifying that is on the Sanders staff who is doing any wiping with the cloth

[Hiraeth]

35. and he should be investigated for it. Amen.

[riversedge]

36. Yes, Amen.

[riversedge]

37. Why would you say such a thing? Shameful. We do not need comments such as yours on DU.

"i am sooooo glad bernie flies commercial...he will be safer. and yeah, i went there."

[WillyT]

39. + 1,000,000,000 What You Said !!!

[Betty Karlson]

40. Your feelings are shared by the general DU population.

DWS may have overplayed her heinous hand by this biased action.

[mhatrw]

43. Cheaters got to cheat. Fixers got to fix. Ratfuckers got to ratfuck. Rover got to Rove. nt

[MisterP]

44. every morning I turn on the PC and expect some new deck-stacking: it's an all-out, full-court

press from someone who sees no problem hiring footmen to rope people away from her: they really don't think they'll need hardcore Dems' votes next November, that they can scrape together a little bit of gays (don't ask about how they're treated in the countries she's intervened in), a little bit of Black America (Emanuel? Emanuel who?), a little bit of the blue-collars (I hate TPP so much, you guys), a lot of Republicans (that Trump's silly, isn't he?) and bada bing the poker chips all pile up until you hit that 264-vote mark
