The Hillary Clinton campaign went on the offense tonight over the Bernie Sanders campaign improperly accessing their voter data. A Sanders staffer was fired for accessing the data and the DNC cut off their access to the data server.

The Sanders campaign is insisting they did nothing wrong and the DNC is overreacting, and they filed a lawsuit tonight against the DNC to get their access back.

Brian Fallon, a Clinton campaign spokesman, called into CNN tonight, very angry about the reported 24 separate intrusions by the Sanders campaign. He said this was a clear “act of theft, stealing data from the Clinton campaign,” and Sanders isn’t living up to that “different kind of campaign” he promised.

“They were very productive,” Fallon told Wolf Blitzer. “They were like kids in a candy store, Wolf. They had about 40 minutes where they ran wild.”

He called the lawsuit “an act of chutzpah” and said the Sanders staffers attempted to save some of the data locally.

Immediately following that, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver adamantly denied the accusation and said nothing was printed or downloaded.

7. If any data was actually stolen, we'd have heard all about it by now.

But we haven't. It was the Sanders Campaign that brought the the repeated failure of the firewall to the attention of the DNC.

6. Sanders Campaign: Admit to Nothing, Deny Everything

This will backfire royally. The press is already on to them and it will only get worse.
