    The extent of the corruption and the thuggery of these people is almost breathtaking to behold.

    This kind of stuff really Berns me up.

    Bernie is the best candidate to be the next president.

    He should just run as an independent, I'm sure he could get enough support that way.

    Can you imagine if Sanders and Trump ran as independents against Hillary and Cruz in the General?

    Why are the campaigns storing their data on DNC systems. I guess I don't under the logistics of a campaign.

    Clearly, Hillary Clinton was in the lead on this effort to undermine Bernie Sanders campaign, as this article from Politico illustrates:

    The heavy-handedness of this by Hillary Clinton and her hand-puppets at the DNC is really striking. In case she has felt like her bonafides as an out-of-control bully were not sufficiently established, this episode should put that question to rest very nicely.

    All this pales in comparison to what is going on with the whole GOP being taken over by the radical wing.

    I assume the campaigns work with the DNC on this and then after the primaries, they are shared files since the DNC and the campaigns are allowed to coordinate. It does seem odd, but it also seems to be SOP.

    Perhaps this is why Clinton believes in storing things on her personal servers. :)

    http://bigstory.ap.org/article/da7e...ring-sanders-team-accessing-data-after-breach

    Sanders' team claims:


    Weaver argued the firewall used by the vendor had previously failed, and he railed against the party for not taking the steps required to keep the information secure. He said in an interview with CNN late Friday that "we don't have any Clinton data."

    Josh Uretsky, the data director fired by Sanders' campaign, said his team was merely investigating the security problem and trying to figure out how exposed the software patch left their own data.

    "I believe that I took appropriate steps to audit and assess the security breach and that nothing I did was done in a way that it would give the Sanders campaign a competitive advantage," Uretsky said in an email to The Associated Press.


    Data logs:


    Summaries of data logs provided to the AP show the Sanders team spent nearly an hour in the database reviewing information on Clinton's high-priority voters and other data from nearly a dozen states, including first-to-vote Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

    Some of these voter lists were saved into a folder named "Targets," according to the logs. Uretsky's deputy appeared to focus on pulling data on South Carolina and Iowa voters based on turnout and support — or lack of support — for Clinton.

    The Sanders campaign employees who accessed the Clinton voter information without authorization appear to have run afoul of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, said Jason Weinstein, a former supervisor of the Justice Department's computer crimes section.

    Those employees "have reason to be concerned about legal exposure," he said, for what appears to fit the definition of illegal hacking.

    The question should be how is it that these candidate databases were accessible by the other candidates at all?

    And did Hillary Clinton's team access Bernie Sander's data?

    Clearly an independent investigation will be necessary to get this sorted out, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the people at the DNC obviously cannot be trusted to treat Bernie Sanders fairly here.

    If you read any of the articles about it, that's already known.

    Even the Sanders campaign hasn't asked for this.

    Love how Nefarious Republican hacks jump on a breach by the Sander team as an opportunity to go after Clinton. Mojoman is a good example of one.

    Politics are so disgusting.

    The Sanders campaign has asked for an independent audit. They most certainly have.

    And as far as Sanders not asking about whether Hillary's staff accessed his data, you don't know that they have not done that. If there is a reporter worth their salt at the next Bernie Sanders press conference, that person will ask this question.

    Stop trying to manufacture controversy. You guys failed with Whitewater, you failed with Lewinsky, you failed with Benghazi, you failed with the whole email thing, and now you really are showing the right fails in trying to take down dem candidates.

    You can't beat them in an election so you try to manufacture controversy and people just are tired of Repubs crying wolf about everything

    If they had, they would make it public - even just the suggestion that Clinton might have accessed his files would help him. We both know that (or you're just delusional). You're just in love with independent Clinton investigations that lead nowhere.

    It is Bernie Sanders that has requested this independent investigation. So you and the Democratic left are going to need to update your talking points on this going forwards.

    I can understand why the Sander's campaign is frustrated in general and I agree the DNC is favoring the Clinton Camp. That said from what I've been reading is that this is one where they, the Sanders' camp, is in the wrong. They've admitted to downloading and saving Clinton data.
