Whatever happened with the data breach investigation?

I remember seeing the Hillary supporters chant in unison, "Bernie stole data." It was obviously an organized message. Then Bernie sued and then Debbie WS relented and let Sanders have access to his own data. Then Bernie called for a complete investigation. He pressed Hillary, twice, at the next debate to say she supported an independent investigation. She sort of agreed.

The "Bernie stole data" chant stopped cold. Some of their jolly souls pulled a 180 and said that we needed to forget about all this and move on, for the good of the party. I remember thinking at the time, jeez, these folks get their messaging orders and they FOLLOW them to the letter. Oh, well. That's why we have a First Amendment. You have a Constitutional right to be a shill if you want to.

And I also wondered at the time, what good did Debbie and all the chanters think they were doing for the party when they made it an issue in the first place?

Whatever.




So what happened to that independent investigation into the data breach? Does anybody know anything about it?

They had an audit of activity for the sessions and saw eactly what was done. No raw data was "stolen" by Bernie. One summary report was run or something like that.

What was never answered was who compromised Sanders data the previous October. Crickets on that.

Welcome to my campaign Jill.

Not only did they get my email address, they got my name. My email address does not have my name in it.

I was livid. I forwarded the info to his campaign.

Been wondering what ever happened to this.

The outcome would not have been good for the Party and/or HC. This stuff should never have been aired in public, that was DWS and it hurt her, not Bernie, not HC.
