Can somebody please tell me what Hillary Clinton did wrong in this whole data breach kerfuffle?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Thank you in advance.


Happy Holidays!

[1StrongBlackMan]

1. She's Hillary Clinton ... that is all. n/t

[Dem2]

3. Damnit

You stole my answer.

[NurseJackie]

7. There you have it.

[LuvLoogie]

2. Uh... She's Hillary Clinton?

[Thinkingabout]

4. This will be interesting, I will be looking forward to the answers.

[grahamhgreen]

5. nothing. lets move on. Sales tax on stock transactions for free university!!!! WooHoo!

[Starry Messenger]

6. Nothing. But she's winning this primary and that has some lashing out in pain, apparently.

[leftofcool]

8. I know, I know!

Hillary planted about 5 people on Bernie's campaign staff, then she waited until the firewall went down and sent them a secret email to tell them that they should steal her data. Then she leaked it to the media and now poor Bernie looks like a cheater when his staff really didn't do anything wrong at all.

[treestar]

20. all this because she is so afraid of him

because being that far ahead of him in the polls is not enough!

[Fawke Em]

9. Nothing. Who said she did?

However, her lackeys did: the vendor should have been put on probation the first time the breach was reported and fired after this latest breach.

[leftofcool]

13. You are a bit behind in news.

Nothing was reported to this vendor.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. If you don't believe that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has put the DNC in the bag for her, directly or

Indirectly, then nothing.

[Warren Stupidity]

16. Yup.

[treestar]

22. Why would it matter?

Does the DNC influence voters that much?

Why would the DNC care about anything other than winning the election? So naturally they would notice Hillary is ahead in the polls. The DNC has no motive to work against Bernie.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Do you think DWS demonstrated sound judgment when she allied with Sheldon Adelson in support of

arresting and jailing sick people for smoking pot?

That doesn't sound to me like someone who makes terribly good decisions, either strategically or ethically.

[joshcryer]

37. DWS' actions did not help Clinton in any way.

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Yeah, because she has all the well-honed political instincts of a moldy brick of cheese.

Her judgment has been consistently shitty and out of touch; witness her ham-fisted attacks on medical marijuana.

[joshcryer]

41. She took it personal and didn't have the party in mind.

And in the end she is an amateur. It's shocking how she got to be the head of the DNC.

Regarding that medical marijuana thing, the cute part is how she basically elicited a bribe to change her position (but reversed when it came out). She's unhinged and needs to be ousted.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Agree 100%.

[earthside]

11. Don't miss the big political picture.

This controversy has brought all the DWS, DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to the surface.

That is what this is now all about.

DWS was a 2008 co-chair of the unsuccessful Clinton campaign -- how stupid was that not for her to resign the day Mrs. Clinton announced her candidacy this year. (Why didn't Hillary tell DWS that the right thing to do was leave the DNC?)

This kerfuffle was bound to happen eventually, now it has ... and it isn't making Hillary, Wasserman Schultz or the DNC look very good.

DWS needs to resign NOW.

[reddread]

12. wrong call

[Juicy_Bellows]

15. Oh I so love your reply.

I see yer Billy and I raise you a Joel.

Nice work.

[rocktivity]

14. It isn't Hillary so much as Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Since she helped run Hillary's previous presidential election campaign, it's a potential conflict of interest for her to be running the DNC now because for all we know, she might be also helping Hillary run her current presidential campaign.

One of the DNC's job duties is to guard against even the possibility of the appearance of impropriety in the election process. Because it can legitimately be asked if any move Wasserman Schultz makes is actually stealth support for Hillary, she holds an office that she is not qualified for and should step down.

17. Few are blaming HRC directly. As usual, her judgment is, shall we say, consistent.

It just seems that every time something comes around her, there's a questionable situation that does not help her Trustworthy rating. There is an old saying, that even the appearance of wrong should be avoided.

This doesn't hurt her with her supporters much, nor does it add to Bernie's, automatically. But the Independents think differently. And it's often the Indies who actually decide a winner...especially in close elections.

IDC what anyone says, DWS, the DNC and HRC are joined at the proverbial hip. Pretty sure the IT company has lost credibility...what with all of HRCs people on the payroll. Maybe Bernie and others should check in with California's real independent company.

[Bread and Circus]

18. Do you mean now or in 2008?

[treestar]

19. She's practicing taking over for Obama

[IMG][/IMG]

Already, though she will take on the full role Jan. 20 2017.

[Douglas Carpenter]

21. If you mean personally and individually - neither Bernie nor Hillary did anything

wrong in regard to this matter - even Debbie Wasserman Shultz says that.

It's the DNC's tactics and their relationship with the Clinton campaign at issue.

[Chitown Kev]

34. Actually, Bernie's campaign DID do something wrong...

and that DOES reflect on Bernie.

Now did DWS go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overboard? Yes.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

23. submission to the straw-man contest?

might win a top ten

[JoePhilly]

25. Hillary and DWS, put her data into one of these ....

... and a Bernie staffer got caught trying to take the cheese.

[tularetom]

26. Failed to immediately denounce Loserman Schulz

Thereby giving rise to speculation that she was in on it.

Very short sighted from somebody who has been playing the game as long as Clinton has.

[bluestateguy]

27. She's a woman and she's running for president

some people can't handle that.

[Douglas Carpenter]

40. well a longtime poster, Manny Goldstein was banned for anti-Semitic motives

because he is a Jew and some people here obviously cannot handle that.

That is bullshit of course. But, it makes as much sense as your post.

[okasha]

28. She breathed.

[MeNMyVolt]

30. Dang it. took my answer!

[okasha]

32. Sorry about that.

You can be a co-author, though.

[MeNMyVolt]

29. Respired.

[Mike Nelson]

31. She's just...

Hillary Clinton! Run! Hide! People fear her - and attribute all sorts of conspiracies to her... It's irrational. It's been going on for decades. However, it never seems to stop her career; instead, it makes her stronger.

[left-of-center2012]

33. Clinton ...

... just being Clinton.

[mcar]

35. An excellent question

[MoonRiver]

36. She married Bill Clinton.

I think that's when all these troubles started.

[Lil Missy]

38. Benghazi!!!

[elana i am]

42. oh come on!

dnc = de facto clinton campaign.

DWS flapped her yap and removed all doubt.

not that i had any doubt.

[JaneyVee]

43. HAPPY HOLIDAYS?!!! WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!!

[ljm2002]

45. She did nothing wrong...

...although she might have weighed in on DWS's draconian steps, she wasn't obliged to and I don't really blame her for staying out of it.

DWS's reaction of pulling access to the data from the Sanders campaign, could have harmed Clinton due to the very close relationship between DWS and Clinton -- so DWS's heavy-handedness might have reflected badly on Clinton because of that.

However, access to the data was restored promptly (due to aggressive action by the Sanders campaign), so that became less of an issue. Sanders and Clinton also defused it masterfully at the debate, for which they both deserve kudos.

I do hope there will be a thorough independent investigation of all data breaches since the campaigns started.
