Is this the press release that warrants an apology from the Clinton Campaign?
Clinton Campaign: Data Was 'Stolen' By Sanders Campaign
Last edited Fri Dec 18, 2015, 08:21 PM - Edit history (1) Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS Dec 18, 6:18 PM EST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The campaign manager for Hillary Clinton says its voter data was "stolen" by the presidential campaign of her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders. Robby Mook says on a Friday night conference call with reporters that "this was a very egregious breach and our data was stolen." Mook says the actions of the Sanders staff involved "may have been a violation of the law."

34. Oh, for god's sake -- just be honest with yourself.
Admit he's a professional politician who is capable of run-of-the-mill, or slightly worse, dishonorable and dishonest campaign behavior. The fact that he lies like the usual political rug won't cost Bernie your vote, right?
If some of us sound particularly disgusted, it's because this particular politician postures as the one honorable, virtuous candidate, above all the rest. When he is so not. The truth on many issues keeps getting found out, but instead of honorably admitting he or his staff did bad, the lying and virtuous posturing never waver. Bernie has been far more dishonest and dishonorable than Hillary all through this campaign, while encouraging people to call her a liar. And that's the shabby truth. |

36. This whole debacle was instigated by an employee recomended by the company running the DNC site
Not by Sanders. What interests me here is the stances taken by both sides to establish a claim. And in this case, it is a pretty big one: THEFT. There was no theft found. It was unauthorized use. And the nature of that use has not been officially commented on by the DNC.
So, you see, your stance is very interesting to me. From my POV, it would appear you are jumping to conclusions that have not been officially made. Which makes you look kind of ridiculous. |

38. Better check your facts. Instead of firing and apologizing,
which an honorable person would have done, Bernie-the-career-politician claimed to be the victim of the DNC and even sued to make his lying point to the voters. And he's still lying.
I was willing to believe in the beginning that Bernie was honorable and had nothing to do with his staffers knowingly committing serious felonies by downloading and storing important information belonging to a political opponent -- information that was of tremendous value to him. Now I am not. And you should not be either. One standard for everyone, remember? |

41. huh? here's some facts. They are not the same as yours, so just walk on by if its easier for you
The data breach issue was supposed to make Saturday night’s debate a bit more exciting, but Clinton and Sanders seemed eager to patch things up and move on. “The suspense … didn’t last past the first round of questions,” writes Slate’s Josh Voorhees. Sanders explained his side of the story before offering an unequivocal apology to Clinton. "This is not the kind of campaign that we run and if I find anybody else involved in this, they will also be fired," Sanders said. Clinton accepted the apology and said it was time to talk about something else because “I don't think the American people are all that interested in this.” http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/12/20/bernie_sanders_campaign_suspends_two_more_staffers_over_data_breach.html |

15. The CrowdStrike Investigation disagrees with you. According to this source
which is also a report of a report. I've been trying to find the primary source for just about too much of my Saturday morning - none. Please share a link if you have one. (btw, falsely accusing someone of stealing is an offense)
But this secondary source, which is all anyone has contributed here so far, completely disagrees with you. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/04/29/bernie-sanders-withdraws-lawsuit-dnc-proven-correct-data-breach.html An independent investigation of the firewall failures in the DNC’s shared voter file database has definitively confirmed that the original claims by the DNC and the Clinton campaign were wholly inaccurate – the Sanders campaign never “stole” any voter file data; the Sanders campaign never “exported” any unauthorized voter file data; and the Sanders campaign certainly never had access to the Clinton campaign’s “strategic road map.” In fact, the independent investigation has confirmed what the Sanders campaign said from the start: The DNC’s security failures allowed four Sanders campaign staffers – three junior-level staffers led by a manager who had been hired at the recommendation of the DNC and who was immediately terminated after the incident – to have extremely short-lived access for one hour to Hillary for America’s scoring models, but not to any of Hillary for America’s proprietary voter data. No one else in the Sanders campaign, outside these four staffers, accessed the Hillary for America’s scoring models or had knowledge that the activity was taking place until well after the incident was over. With one exception, all unauthorized access took place within the DNC’s own system. While there is evidence that the terminated staffer may have exported a summary data table, the independent investigation of Sanders campaign computers could not locate that file and no one in the Sanders campaign has ever seen that file. With the investigation behind us, the campaign has withdrawn its lawsuit against the DNC today but continues to implore the DNC to address the systemic instability that remains in its voter file system. And from Josh Uretsky via MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/thomas-roberts/watch/fired-sanders-campaign-staffer-speaks-out-588356675888 |

22. The investigation says Sanders' staff improperly accessed data. And a staffer
was fired. It appears a few others improperly viewed Clinton's data, they should have been dismissed too. Clinton and O'Malley staff did not view Sanders' data.
You can't spin that to Sanders' staff did nothing wrong. Or whine that Sanders was treated unfairly. |

28. The DNC statement
shows the independent investigation found they had exported data , searched 25 times over 11 states for an hour. Four people involved.
Are his supporters so blindly devoted that they can't admit they pulled underhanded tactics? ![]() What's really strange is why Sanders is suddenly dropping the suit if they found him to be correct, as his supporters say. from Think Progress: " the Sanders’ campaign sued, arguing that the DNC overreacted by suspending their access, and had harmed their ability to campaign on an equal playing field with Clinton. Moreover, Sanders’ attorneys argued that the DNC broke its contract with the campaign, which stated that the DNC must give notice before suspending access to information. The campaign is seeking $75,000 in damages. “The DNC, in an inappropriate overreaction, has denied us access to our own data,” Sanders campaign Weaver said at the time. “In other words, the leadership of the Democratic National Committee is actively trying to undermine our campaign.” I mean, since he's losing and they keep pointing to all this supposed Clinton DNC corruption, wouldn't now be the perfect time to not only continue on but highlight this for his campaign going forward? |

No one is claiming theft in the DNC report, and of course this isn't the report - it is an edited report of the report.

5. Since that whole campaign is solidly based on lies and deflection and misinformation -
it would never occur to them to apologize. The accusation served its purpose - and remember the bullshit "oh, I could never vote for Bernie because of this!" and "This proves Bernie is not trustworthy" - this was all orchestrated, IMO, and a cover-up.
I would not support or vote for Hillary based on actual issues, but this is just another reeking layer. |

47. What don't you get about this?
Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of a private email server to conduct government business when she served as secretary of state was a mistake but didn't endanger national security, President Barack Obama said during an interview airing Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes" in which he touched on other contenders in the 2016 presidential race and Syria.
Obama said public officials have to be more sensitive about how they handle information and personal data. Yet he also said the criticism of Clinton has been "ginned up" because of politics. "I think she'd be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly," Obama said. Obama downplayed the threat to national security, and when it was pointed out that his administration has prosecuted people for having classified material on their private computers, the president said he didn't get the impression there was an intent to "hide something or to squirrel away information." He also said he was not initially aware of her use of the private email server. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/10/11/obama-clinton-made-mistake-having-own-email-server.html So, both Obama and Clinton admit it was a mistake - but not necessarily illegal. Two different things. I hope you agree Hillary didn't steal anything because of an unauthorized use of a server. She had the information, but she didn't use it illegally, right? |

35. Can you show me where that is confirmed? There is nothing in the DNC report on the nature of the
unauthorized use. It is silent on this issue. Is unauthorized the same as illegal? I don't know. I think it has to do with the use of the information, and no illegal use was found. I think unauthorized use is more of just a booboo. Like, someone could re-quote you here, and if you could prove it was defamation of character, that unauthorized use would then become illegal.
Perhaps the non-answer in the report is to avoid having to apologize for over-the-top claims? |
