26) On December 17, 2015, at approximately 2:47 p.m., the DNC suspended or
terminated the Campaigns Voter Data access. The suspension or termination of the Campaigns
access was undertaken without contractual cause, and in contravention of the Agreements
termination protocols.
27) The DNC did not send the Campaign any written notice of termination, much less
afford the Campaign the contractually required ten-day period in which to cure any default.
28) The Campaigns inadvertent access of the Disclosed Information did not
constitute a breach of any provision of the Agreement. Even assuming, arguendo, that the DNC
could prove that Campaign staff intentionally accessed any Disclosed Information, such access
would not amount to a breach of the Agreement, or give the DNC cause to suspend or terminate
the Agreement.

However, Chuck Toad would not pin him down on why the DNC chose to take this public and not resolve the issue behind the scene. All the spokesperson would say is that it is their goal to resolve this quickly.

(9,841 posts)In her avid desire to help Hillary, it appears she overstepped her bounds, badly.
She's going to have to resign for the good of the party. Probably in a matter of days.
And then control of the party will be up for grabs...
