DNC software breach gave Sanders campaign confidential Clinton Data

[Joe Republic]

That wily Sanders can't just cheat his way to victory.

Funny that Martin Shrklrk and Bernie Sanders get arrested for fraud only a day apart.

The FBI will be perp-walking Bernie through a crowd of press in the next half hour... this should make for some interesting front pages tomorrow!

I'm thinking the Atlas forum should chip in to buy jfern a new keyboard.  The poor thing must be a total wreck after this thread.

Or maybe we wait til after Hillary is already the nominee?  No use buying something new only to see it get run into the ground again in only a couple months.

Well, I don't know anything about the system

Clearly.  And yet here we are, 16 pages in.

Because Hillary and the DNC made a bad political move and then caved in.

There are really two separate discussions here -- what transpired, and what a reasonable reaction to it is -- and while the latter question is possibly affected by the former question, the former question certainly isn't affected by the latter.  You don't think it's reasonable to discuss how the campaign staffers behaved, and whether it makes sense to punish campaigns for abuses of discretion by high-level staffers?

The problem with answering your question is that the Sanders folk have spent most of this thread claiming that the Sanders campaign has done absolutely nothing wrong.

"The staffer" = Sanders campaign National Data Director.  This part keeps getting deliberately forgotten.

He got fired so what point are you even making?

The shifting narrative coming from the Sanders spin zone.  Earlier today he was merely a "low-level staffer".

Not to mention that somehow we've landed on it being only one guy who did it because only one guy got fired.  I'm not sure where the "he was using all four usernames himself!!" came from.

This is a sad attack in desperate times...

I completely agree.  And I fear it's only going to get worse as Sanders slips even further behind.

Just wait until tomorrows debate.

That's the spirit!

We needed Alcon in this thread earlier.  If he had been around to shoo off jfern and ProgressiveCanadian sooner, this might have been only three pages long instead.
