A break in… allegations of spying… the Bernie Sanders campaign suddenly has a Watergate-style scandal on its hands.
According to The Washington Post, one of Sanders’ staffers exploited a technical glitch to break into a server that had private voter information belonging to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
And the backlash has already been severe.
The Sanders’ campaign has claimed it fired the staffer who accessed the information, but the investigation into who was really behind the data breach is just getting warmed up.
In response, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) isn’t pulling its punches. Effective Thursday, the DNC announced that Sanders’ campaign is suspended from accessing any DNC voter data again until it provides a proper explanation, a punishment many analysts consider a major blow to Sanders’ presidential campaign.
The DNC keeps a massive amount of voter information in a master data file, and rents the information within to Democratic campaigns on both national and local levels. The data rented from this DNC master file is then added to by each campaign in their own file with information gathered by volunteers.
Gaining access to another campaign’s data could be a huge advantage, as it could help a campaign target their rivals’ supporters.
To prevent this, information firewalls are set-up by a third-party vendor that handles the master data file. The goal is to prevent rivals from stealing data gathered by their opponents’ campaigns, or tampering with opponents’ information.
The third-party company handling the information, NGP VAN, indicated that Wednesday that while they were patching their firewall software, a staffer from the Sanders campaign may have used a temporary security window to access proprietary information from the Clinton campaign.
Sanders’ campaign being cut off from the national party’s voter data is crippling, because it prevents his campaign from registering new supporters or contacting many current volunteers.
He is like someone you’d see on a soap box in Harvard Square. Yet he is a step up from Hillary. Trump’s looking good.
They are both Socialists whom has loyalty ONLY to themselves .Remember uncle Joe(STALIN most of the peoples were killed ,his closest buddies. Communists and Socialists are a large but the stupidest groups. It shows on Obama and the two other stooges Granny Hillary and Sanders. They will finish Obama’s plan to Africanise the U.S. .And how stupid they are just look what they doing and how many useful idiots are following them (Democrats)
Looks like lying and thievery is the democrat standard nowadays.
Actually they are both COMMUNISTS…
FREEDOM, What/Who do you mean by your remark, “Actually they are both COMMUNISTS…” Is it the lying or the thievery?
I think it is both of those, PLUS quite a bit of other stuff they won’t tell us about. Most likely it involves lying, stealing and cheating. And you know how Barry would feel if someone tried to step on his turf. He will sell you ANYTHING we have, be it Top Shelf Secrets, or, Where is America’s hoard of gold? He will sell it to you. Why? If you haven’t put it together by now, he is a common, street-corner type of a treasonous-terrorist. One we all would be better off without.
Hillary has so much too hide to just get to the elections. She is a liar and should take down Obama with her. Two peas in a pod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can these two be walking around free, when there are others doing time cause they couldn’t afford to pay a traffic ticket.
Dear God. Please come soon, you are sorely needed on this planet. Someone named Barry may be eliminated this week. And, know what? I don’t care! Whoever does it, I hope you make the jerk SUFFER as all get-out! You will honor the hero, right Lord? I knew you are teriffic!!!
I do not believe Bernie Sander had any knowledge of this happening.. How sad that someone else’s action could hurt the best person we have running for President. I am here for you Bernie. I will never vote for Hillary.
So your a socialist or communist?
Put a lid on it Gordon. How many bigots are there supporting Trump. Hopefully you are not one of them. There are more Democrats out there than there are Republicans. If Trump runs against Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sanders he will lose and frankly, I would never vote for Trump. He is at the bottom of the pack and to glorify him makes a statement about you.
It is too bad that this has happened. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.
Obama & the DNC WILL TAKE CARE OF IT , LIKE THEY HAVE DONE CONCERNINGS HILLARY’S many SINS. BUT ONE THING FOR SURE, WITH BOTH OF THEM THE DNC AND DEMOCRATIC VOTERS ARE WAY BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL.Cruz or Trump speakers better for Tax Payers and Home Owners.
GO TRUMP he will be the next President! there are not more democrats than Republicans Jane. There is more freeloaders {Democrtas} collecting welfare and thats how Nobama got into the oval office.
Jane, you surly can’t think the Independent Reagan Democrats will put up with “Slick Britches” Hillery and her shenanigans, do you? There was a reason they went for Reagan at that time. The DNC couldn’t put anyone up who was as good for the Country as Reagan was. THE SAME is true this time around!!!
Apparently your NOT one, Janie baby, why don’t you put a lid on it, you liberal , yourself, we will surly prevail over the lying liberals, you can ALWAYS tell when they are lying, WHEN their LIPS MOVE, and they move a lot lately!!!!!
Poor Hilliary can’t keep her stuff hidden from anybody. I wonder if she is still using the same server she used while SOS. Burnie is as big a loser as she is. Together they have a combined IQ in the range of five to six and a trustworthy rating of zero. Only a fool would ever vote for a Democrat.
Tjat server is now in the hands of the FBI who is finding emails Hillary thought she had deleted. I bet she wishies she had never seen that server.
WILL YOU THEN VOTE REPUBLICAN? IT WOULD BE THE SMART CHOICE FOR YOU AND THE COUNTRY !!!
I Agree With You 100%
A “staffer” is just that. They do paperwork and send out flyers. This was someone who had the knowledge on how to do it and he was looking for something specific. I’m sure he didn’t just decide one day to do it. He got instruction from someone.
Bernie Sanders instructed them to do this,,he is crook and a liar
He a notorist socialist , he is an OLD man, he’s become senile and crotchety , he needs to be in a nursing home , poor thing!!!
Hey you guys, another liberal speaking out for ole’ Bernie , another ignorant leftie, so sorry for you woman, welllll , you can’t expect any better for the uneducated, if these people WERE educated, they would NEVER, EVER vote for a communist liberal …
Hey you guys, another liberal speaking out for ole’ Bernie , another ignorant leftie, so sorry for you woman, welllll , you can’t expect any better for the uneducated, if these people WERE educated, they would NEVER, EVER vote for a communist liberal …
Now I ask you, given the information in this article don’t you think it is strange that they knew it was a Sander’s staffer that accessed the file??? How did they know that, or it this a Clinton stunt?
My sentiments exactly..I thoroughly believe that Clinton paid someone to access the files just to knock out her only DNC rival..looks like Trump will be gaining even more votes.
They can tell whose computer hacked it.
How did the staffer know when the third-party company handling the information, NGP VAN, indicated that Wednesday that while they were patching their firewall software, a staffer from the Sanders campaign may have used a temporary security window to access proprietary information from the Clinton campaign.
Who really cares! Heck all of the BS crap that killers has done is far worse than anything Bernie could do But leave it to the Demoncrats to protect the top Demon and punish the minions!
Again anyone that is in the same Boat with Trump,and somehow thinks this Guy looks good for POTUS,is blind in one eye and can”t see out of the other,he is so far right he is out of this WORLD,to boot,he hates everyone except his self and rich friends,where does that leave the 98% of the rest of the Citizens,thinking he is going to make the right moves for anyone but himself is kinda out there to,but thats just my opinion,this is America,all of our opinions count? If he wins election,the US will be in for a RUDE awakening,everytime he gets on the stage and makes a face or states his opinion,he is telling you exactly what you are in for,one big nightmare? Is he really the Adult in the room or just a spoiled Rich Fat Cat–ask yourself that question before you go to sleep at night,when you wake up ,you might have the answer? Or not?
Well anybody who votes for a Democrat is complicit in evil, murder of unborn babies, ungodly homosexual activity, gay marriage, high taxes, big government, socialism and communism because that is what your politicians all stand for. If you deny this you are also a liar.
Yea I guess you still believe in Obama’s transparency, change this country for the good of common people, bowing before the Muslim leaders and Kings. You ought to go to sleep and stay a sleep, take OBOZZO with you jerk-off. TRUMP 2016
You just described Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton perfectly.
I totally agree. O’Bummer is trying his best not only to disarm citizens, but to destroy the USA and put it in the hands of ISIS, or, attempting to become King Barack the first king of America.
Go Trump he is all about protecting america something Nobama has FAILED at doing.
You , liberal, wait till come next nov, we’ll see about that , !!!! Nn
Apparently you are NOT an adult, if you were, you would not be voting for a lying bunch of liberals, this HILLARY is really a very evil woman, she do most anything to get her way, do you think would have a person annilated ????? I think so!!!! Which I have heard she has done this in the past, back in the WhiteWater days, remember those days don’t you, folks?????
Hillary how do you like your enemy stealing data from you, oh thats right you already provided that with your private server, you idiot. You and you family should be locked up anyway. TRUMP 2016
This is wonderful, now HRC and Bernie can share a prison cell ;-)) Thank you FBI
That could be really cozy for the two, they could play footsie together or something else more intriguing , ha,ha,ha!!!! N
Trump is not the liar. he doesn’t talk like a precher or terrorist but loves this county. cruz and rumio both went with obama to legalize the ilegas and make the citizens, with video. I pray the Trump who tells the truth will win, it is our last chance. why would anybody go to Cruz or Rubio and bush who set up obama in busines leave Trump the only one the CFR and not gobble up , the rest are lap dogs. I also hope the black people finally realize te devider in chief the whole DEM is keeping them in gettos’s..soon as Clinto or Bernie gets in their welfare check disapear. how sad
Trump is not the answer. You’re jumping from one extreme to death. Having an idiot run the country… might as well put an infant in the seat. We need someone for the people. All the people. You get these overly rich and selfish individual’s in the seat. Guess what? They can run the country into the ground. Take medicare and social security, etc., from the citizens without a care in the world. WHY? They are already set. They have all the money they need plus more. We nor our children will have anything after working all our lives. You’re going to be old and homeless without anything. Everyone’s so worried about race but when it all comes to a head… We all, except the big pockets will suffer. Then it won’t matter whose black… white… or purple. The United States is showing the other countries just how divided we are… “UNITED…,” WE ARE NOT. Now we’re becoming the weakest link. We make it easy for others to come over an destroy. Because from the top to the bottom. We have losing our values for life… people… God… as a whole. We better wake up because a new and sad day is coming.
Why do you think that rich people hate people who aren’t rich? You are projecting your own beliefs about rich people on to them. As for big government programs, why do you support government running people’s lives? Why do you think people are too stupid or helpless to handle their own health? Nobody is worried about race except for racists. How do you know I can’t save and will be left with nothing? Aren’t you just projecting your own inability to save and fears onto me? Aren’t you scared you will be hit by a bus en route to the voting booth or something? How do you make it to work in the morning if you are so fearful?
THIS AS YOU DESCRIBE, ALL THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE UNDER THE OBAMA CLINTON ADMIN. YOU DO NOT FIND SUCH DIVISION OF RACE UNDER ANY REPUBLICAN ADIM. JUST LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST 7+ YEARS BE HONEST WITH YOUR CONCLUSIONS RE: RACE, ECONOMY, RESPECT FOR AMERICA AND THE POOR TREATMENT OF OUR ALLIES PATICURLARY ISRAEL.
your right Nobama has made us the weakest in the world. hope you didnt vote for him because i sure would not admit that i voted a muslim in office!
Sounds like you are a “Slick Britches” Hillery, know-nothing, Liberal to me. Am I wrong?
Hey folks! This is all very scary talk. The next thing your going to tell us seniors is that Obama is going to encourage selective (over age 70 folks) euthanasia. Can you think of any other dastardly political move to reduce the number of seniors on Medicare? Ask Trump. Think of the old folks and find some one else to pin on all these accusations. Give me a break! I’m sick of people in glass houses throwing stones. Dottie
Dorothy, I wouldn’t put it past him, I think this guy would do about anything, to elongate the”old” , hey , wait a minute, that would mean ELIMINATING his old MOTHER- inlaw, hummmm , that ought to work !!!
Correction…..its eliminate is the word…
Hacked the DNC let’s get MAD!!! Hack Secretary of States PERSONAL computer with minimum protection NOTHING TO SEE HERE! DNC COMPUTER HACKED is a crime that should be punished! IRS attacking conservatives? No big here!!! Border floweing with illegal and some ISIS members? Don’t over react they are only children and WOMEN???? Like in PARIS the woman blew up trying to kill the cops! HUM seems like a BIT of stupidity to me!
Hillary campaign allowed this to happen to get Sanders out of the race! No one in Washington is stupid — they are all as clever as a fox! They know what they are doing. Those following the Pied Piper are all Blind Mice!
Hillary knows about Stolen data ,that is why she in under a FBI Federal criminal Investigation .
Trump is a BIG Business man, and he far better than anything in the last 8 years…………….Do you DEMONTIC RATS, think that The KING of muslin islamic turd heads knows how to run a FREE Country like the great USA. If you do, then you and them LEAVE and find a country who will welcome you. And as for KILLARY, they lie everytime they open that trap called the mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take them with you, also.
TRUMP/CRUZ for 2016 Making this country GREAT again, like our fore fathers intended it to be!!!
All you Demc. on this page I feel sorry for you,All of you are going 2 be saved by Trump just as I am, you should be banded from this country until your brain grows bigger than a pea and wash your head off from all the shit on it because you have had it up Obama and Hillary ass so long.I foresee a big increase in the funnel business from all all of you killing yourself when the Demc. get fired from Washington, the lines will be long leaving . If TREY GOWDY goes in as the A/G some of them will stop off at a prison before going home.
Actually some of them need a PRISON CELL to be their Next and Final Home…
Trump will do as Bush did while in office protect us. Clintons let everyone walk over us and Bush put a stop to it, then came Nobama pulling troops out of Irag like a big shot and now we have ISIS which trump will put a stop to! and hopefully Trump will force these low life welfare people work for what they get going foward.Democrats like having everyone be dependant on the government replubicans like to work for what they get! enough said.
Wonder why they have done nothing to Hilary yet? Or Obama? Makes one wonder…Our justice system is so crooked. There is no justice in America anymore. Soon we will be like the other countries. That is what Obama wants and he shall get it.
I am afraid he will get it over many dead bodies… Just sayin’.
This proves what I have said for a long time…The D****RATS Do Not Like Each Other….They ONLY TOLERATE EACH OTHER…for the Promotion of their DESTRUCTIVE AGENDA…
Hillary really isn’t in much of a position to complain or point fingers. She was fired from her first job in Washington for deception in her role of prosecuting Nixon.
Looks to me Sanders did nothing wrong. His staffer just used the information that was available to him. It was not their fault the server provider did not have their crap together. Who’s to say Hillary’s team did not set them up on this one?? Nothing is off limits to her!!
Dems. They are all crooks
Daaaaa……This country better wake up! This next year will show us all where our future is going to be. Read between the lines. Our government as it is now is the most corupt in the history of this country. It is SO obvious. Most all of the people ( I use that term loooooslly ) running for President are afraid and are like walking through a cow pasture an trying not to step on any stuff. Trumph has shaken up this “don’t make waves” political popycock. Again it is right in front of everyone and some people just keep on clamering stupid answers. Hillery is a good example. I see those people holding her signs and ask myself “where the hell have they been” after all her and her hubby Bill have done to other people for years. She must have one of those things that wipe out peoples memories like in “The men in Black” move…. WAKE UP and MAKE a DIFFERNCE in this country and think for yourself!!!
Tried to watch Bernie on this U tub and they cut the sound so you could not hear what he was saying.
Then the media came on after that and it was load and clear what they were saying.
So you are so far down that you had to do something to under mined Bernie.
No one believes that you were not behind this trick,
750.000 people know this right now and you will be knowen for what you are,
This only drives your numbers down for a trick like this one to under mind Bernie.
And you will lose a lot of your supporters ,
It only shows that Bernie is the better president for the White House,
What will you try next,
Now your true colors are coming out and you will be seen for what you really are as a person.
People are watching, I stand with Bernie. and Bernie stands with all of us.
When your trying to throw dirt on Bernie,
Your losing ground,
No matter what the reporters say or the headline or the news casters,
Bernie is on top and every one knows it.
Bernie is a Socialist, Communist! Are you one too?
Those Democrats and computers! Looks like Hillary and Bernie can’t follow the rules. Bad sign for our country! 😉
From “BLACK MILLENNIALS” and they nailed it!
“Elected to public office in 1981, Bernie Sanders is considered a political outsider. A registered Independent and self-described democratic socialist, Sanders attracts those rebellious white progressives ….
Unlike the corporate feminists who cape for Hillary, his supporters are much more paternalistic and arrogant. Why? Because they think that their rebellious, anti-establishment views give them license to shit on everybody else. Especially Black people.”
