DNC = Dick Nixon Chicanery

What a surprise that DNC exposes all of Sanders' data to the Clinton's campaign staff, then punishes Sanders' campaign for investigating the security breach.

Much like the third rate burglary of the Watergate Democratic Headquarters, the Sanders campaign bungled a third rate hack of the Hillary data.

The Sanders campaign exported or downloaded proprietary information which is the reason for this reaction. If the Clinton campaign was guilty of this, I would be very upset.

Again, you are ignoring the fact that it was the Sanders campaign which downloaded proprietary information. No one forced the Sanders campaign to do this and now they are sad that they were caught

It wasn't a conspiracy. A staffer did what he thought he could get away with, got caught, but I think it's much ado about nothing.

As the saying goes, don't attribute things to malice that can be equally attributed to stupidity. The staffer was stupid.

DWS isn't standing in the shadows wearing a black cape and twirling her mustache like Snidely Whiplash.

What was his National Director of Data fired for? Is there a lot more to this story considering you think it is nothing? Sanders doesn't just go around firing top officials in his campaign, does he?

25. Damage control
Fri Dec 18, 2015, 02:31 PM
Dec 2015

The insecure data was a honey pot trap set by DNClinton operatives.

Some people on Sanders' campaign staff fell for the trap. Sanders wants to discuss the issues facing Americans, not a political dirty trick worthy of Dick Nixon's fixers.

So the smartest move is to immediately fire the folks who did not sniff out the trap that was purposefully set for them. It's called damage control. It happens to almost every campaign at one point or another.

But this is particularly egregious because the game was so nefariously rigged. It's positively Rovian.

his deputy and two other Bernie Sanders staffers a freakin Nixonian operation?

Are you serious??




The staffers who secured access to the Clinton data included national data director Josh Uretsky, who was fired on Thursday, and his deputy, Russell Drapkin. The two other usernames that viewed Clinton information were “talani" and "csmith_bernie."

You give Sanders' campaign staff full access to Clinton's data and Clinton's campaign staff full access to Sanders' data.

Then you wait for somebody from Sanders' campaign to take a peak at the data you left out in the open for them so you can play "Gotcha!"

Clinton's staff already had full access to Sanders' data through DNC's administration rights. The game was rigged by the DNC, and the honeypot Clinton data was just part of the rigged game.
