The DNC Can’t Blame This One On Bernie – Russian Hackers Have Had Access To DNC Server For A YEAR!



Does anyone remember the massive hubbub that surrounded the Democratic party back in late 2015 when it was revealed that a Bernie Sanders staffer had accessed the DNC voter database?

Establishment elites ran around like headless chickens while Sanders quickly apologized and the staffer was removed from the campaign. Then the DNC overcorrected and barred one of the two Democratic candidates from having access to key voter information as a overzealous punishment.

Well all of that sounds pretty funny with the breaking news that the DNC has been an open book for Russian hackers for nearly a year now.

The group of elite hackers have also attempted to access other important government files and databases, but they struck gold when they gained access to the DNC’s server, particularly obtaining a wealth of information on the Democratic party’s opposition information on Donald Trump.

In addition to gaining a massive amount of Trump information, the hackers also were able to read all email and chat traffic during their perusing.

Democrat Darling (/s) Debbie Wasserman Schultz had this to say about her failure as DNC chair:

“When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately. Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network.”

Yeah, we bet you did, Debbie Dear.

We already knew that the DNC was a massive embarrassment, but this is just too much to bear. We’ve been calling for an overhaul of the party for months, but now it’s a case of someone needing to take the fall for this massive error in security.
