http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-tapper-grills-sanders-adviser-over-data-breach-how-are-you-the-victims-here/The Bernie Sanders campaign is openly warring with the Democratic National Committee today after their campaign improperly accessed Hillary Clinton voter data. In response, the DNC cut off the Sanders campaigns access to its voter data.
The Sanders camp said the failure of the system firewall wasnt their fault, it was the DNCs. On CNN this afternoon, Jake Tapper spoke with Sanders campaign senior adviser Tad Devine and asked them exactly how theyre the victims here when their staffers were the ones in the wrong.
Devine argued that the remedy imposed here by the Democratic National Committee is extreme because they need fair access to that voter data too. There are reports four staffers breached the data, and after the campaign fired one staffer, Tapper asked, The other three breached it and theyre still working for you?
Devine insisted information from their campaign was exposed too and they acted in good faith by privately alerting the DNC of the problem months ago when they first noticed.

Tappre responded, I respect the attempt at jujitsu here and turn this into something where you guys are the victims, but it was your campaign that actually peeked into the information.

(6,960 posts)Hillary Clinton's campaign would not hesitate to use Rove tactics against any opponent.
And I think that is precisely what is going on here.
It would never be enough to win ... the Clinton's don't think Hillary should even be challenged in the first place. If they are challenged the opponent can't be just defeated, he must be crushed.
A most ironic disaster developing for the Clinton campaign.

(7,014 posts)Self-righteous indignation is no substitute for actual networking and door knocking. The Sanders campaign wants access to Democratic Party infrastructure, and Clinton's data it seems; Sanders operatives abuse that access. Hillary Clinton, in a classic Rovian Tactic, CRUSHES The Revolution with its own entitled stupidity by getting robbed. OKAY.

They really do think they're the victims here. I get that they think the DNC overreacted, but come on here.
