Heads-Up: 'Curious Choice of Auditor for Democratic Database Flap'

[WillyT]

Curious Choice of Auditor for Democratic Database Flap
By ADAM KLASFELD - CourthouseNewService
Wednesday, December 23, 2015Last Update: 12:25 PM PT

(CN) - In selecting its auditor to study the security breach exploited by a campaign staffer for Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic National Committee showed it has insouciance to spare.

Described as a corporate CIA, the Manhattan-based private intelligence firm Kroll counts big names like Goldman Sachs and Chevron among former clients. Bill Clinton's inclusion on this list might raise eyebrows this election, amid claims that the DNC is playing favorites with the frontrunner in the White House race.

The investigation stems from a software bug that brought down a DNC firewall for 45 minutes on Dec. 16, giving the Sanders campaign a peek at Hillary Clinton's outreach strategies in key battleground states.

DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz retaliated by suspending the Sanders campaign's access a crucial database vendor, NGP VAN, effectively grinding outreach efforts to a halt at the heart of the primary season.

Jeff Weaver, a campaign manager for Sanders, publicly accused the Democratic party of "sabotage" the next day, and Bernie 2016 slapped the DNC with a federal complaint Friday afternoon.

As the candidates made their way to New Hampshire on Saturday for the final Democratic presidential debate of 2015, they and the party seemed eager to put the squabble to bed.

And...

Echoing a comparison made by the New York Times and Sydney Morning Herald, Donziger called Kroll "a sort of private CIA for the powerful."

Though hardly a dispassionate voice on the matter, Donziger said he would not classify Kroll as an "objective investigations service."

The firm takes on clients who "have a very specific agenda that requires particular results to be produced regardless of the actual facts," Donziger said in an email.

Neither the candidates nor the Democratic Party would respond to email and phone inquiries about the court case or Kroll's probe.

The DNC has not released any information about the expected length and scope of the audit, or who was responsible for selecting Kroll to lead it.

[valerief]

1. So much for an independent audit. The fox is guarding the hen house, for sure. nt

[peacebird]

2. Right, Hillary gets a corporate toady as the "independent" investigator... Color me shocked. NOT.

[ViseGrip]

85. Kroll gate is not a small matter,they are making a mockery of the whole concept of an audit

[ViseGrip]

91. Clinton isn't even nominated yet. And she's already a nightmare. I'm sick of her already.

[Phlem]

95. Amen.

same here.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

125. Disgusted ... but that's too good a term.

I can't think of anything worse at the moment.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. I'm sure they have covered their tracks

[Wilms]

4. Kroll - WTC and Sears Tower security

WTC and Sears Tower security

Kroll were responsible for revamping security at the World Trade Center after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[16][17] They also took on responsibility for security at Chicago's Sears Tower following the September 11, 2001 attacks.[18] Just prior to the September 11 attacks, Kroll Inc., with the guidance of Jerome Hauer, at the time the Managing director of their Crisis and Consulting Management Group,[19] hired former FBI special investigator John P. O'Neill,[20] who specialized in the Al-Qaeda network held responsible for the 1993 bombing, to head the security at the WTC complex. O'Neill died in the attacks.

[99th_Monkey]

84. Is Kroll the same shadowy company that Marvin Bush (W's bro) was/is involved in? n/t

[Wilms]

108. I'm not clear on that. n/t

[LuvLoogie]

5. Any objections from the Sanders campaign?

Maybe they should get Uretsky to do the audit.

[George II]

37. Or Larry Weaver? I suspect only your choice or mine would be acceptable to some.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[stillwaiting]

7. Goddamnit. nt

[leveymg]

8. Like Blackwater, Kroll is a Bush CIA haven.

Not at all surprised that the Clinton machine also utilizes the old spook network. They really are all part of the nomenklatura.

[MeNMyVolt]

9. You've had a good run here.

Good luck to you and your's, and may this be you best holiday season.

Merry Christmas! MMV.

[JonLeibowitz]

30. What a curious comment. What could you possibly mean?

[Duval]

66. I'm wondering too??

[Bubzer]

89. That sounds distinctly like an implied threat.

"You've had a good run here." - Implying it's over "here", or at DU.

People on DU don't generally speak like that. Talk like that sounds like veiled threats... as most here are well aware.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

126. With a 472 post count talking like that to a veteren.

Very interesting comment indeed.

And not to imply that anyone is above a comment based on post counts, but that particular comment stands out due to the difference.

[Ned_Devine]

59. Here's a song for you, MeNMyVolt

[TheProgressive]

10. I don't think any 'independent audit' will be truthful and honest because...

...by now, the DNC and NGPVan have manipulated all the audit/log data.
It would be easy to do...

[bobbobbins01]

41. My hope was that NGPVan would be as incompetent at cleaning up...

as they were with fixing the data issue that caused all this.

[TheProgressive]

48. Being a software engineer, I know even the best programmers make mistakes. But...

I don't consider this a 'bug'. My opinion, NGP knew exactly what they were doing...

[Paulie]

11. Kroll absorbed it's parent company

after it went bankrupt... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altegrity_Risk_International

After their bankruptcy, Alegrity settled with the U.S. Justice Department for $30 million over fraud charges.[4] ARI will become part of the Kroll, Inc. business unit under Altegrity, Inc., as part of a thorough acquisition integration process.[5]

and

Security failures
Altegrity is the company which vetted the security clearance of Edward Snowden.[6]

The U.S. government terminated two major contracts with the company after security intrusions said to be "state-sponsored".[6]

[Politicalboi]

12. Kroll, the security for the WTC?????

I don't trust Kroll. Poppy Bush/Kroll/Bill Clinton. This shit stinks.

[restorefreedom]

13. it might be worth it for bernie

to spend a little of his campaign money to hire his own auditor to oversee things.

[ViseGrip]

87. Yes, the Kroll/Bush/CIA auditors will set Bernie up!

[restorefreedom]

112. never hurts to have extra eyes, esp. with something this important.

looked at your journal. my spidey sense is tingling, too. this is not good.

[CharlotteVale]

14. Who didn't see this coming?

[Chan790]

45. I called it the other day...

and Hillary supporters called me paranoid for suggesting that the oversight of the audit must be independent from the office of DWS in order to be credible.

I hate being right. Kroll isn't credible or independent on account of their ties to Bill Clinton.

[haikugal]

15. Any time this crap is uncovered it stinks!

[bvf]

26. Unclog that toilet *now*! n/t

[haikugal]

60. None too soon!

[bvf]

65. Yeah. My inbox is getting skidmarks

from one especially backward Clinton supporter, currently on time-out, who apparently has a thing for me. It's getting scary.

[haikugal]

92. Eeeewww....

[Flying Squirrel]

105. I'd be willing to bet that person's username starts with a "V".

My PMs from that member ended when I straight up asked why they were sending me PMs instead of arguing with me in open forum. (They weren't on a timeout then)

If that doesn't work, it's time for Ignore (you can just block the mail if you still want to see what they're saying in the forums.)

[bvf]

116. Right you are.

But an ignore won't be necessary at this point. Seems the hammer has come down, if I'm not mistaken.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

127. A Bohemian ______?

[Flying Squirrel]

129. Bingo nt

[840high]

96. The crap will go on and on.

[haikugal]

101. True..we need to become vigilant and prepared to push back.

I think we're all feeling it and that's a good thing in my view.

[LiberalElite]

16. The DNC and Clintons

just must LOVE the appearance of impropriety.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. Might as well hire Halliburton!

[NJCher]

38. Chris Christie Could Help 'Em Out!

Christie spent $8 million on an internal investigation on Bridgegate which found him completely blameless for shutting down the George Washington Bridge. The taxpayers footed the bill of the $8 million (no wonder my property taxes went up to $15,000 this year, on an ordinary middle class house).

I'm sure Gibson Dunn & Crutcher will be happy to take the job!



Cher

[Fantastic Anarchist]

128. Or Arthur Andersen, LLP. nt

[bvf]

131. Or Accenture,

which grew out of the huge rift between Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting some years ago.

[libdem4life]

18. Why are Bernie's folk allowing the DNC the choice of who will investigate them and theirs?

Just no. This is not a curious choice. It is a voice echoing the stupid judgement that made this investigation necessary. It is a fixed choice.

[99th_Monkey]

118. Exactly! I thought an INDEPENDENT Audit would be done by a MUTUALLY agreeable party. n/t

Otherwise, it's just hiring a Yes Man to rubber stamp and lend faux-credibioity to the DNC's
skullduggery.

[libdem4life]

132. Precisely. They are letting the fox raid the hen house yet again. I don't understand.

[NCTraveler]

19. Looks like they are taking it very serious.

Good to see.

[bobbobbins01]

42. Damn, you lay the sarcasm on thick.

I love it.

[Duval]

71. Are you sure it's sarcasm?

[bobbobbins01]

106. I figured it must be.

Or Poe's law in action.

[draa]

20. YAY. smh

It won't matter anyway. When Bernie wins the damn thing they can all kiss our ass.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. OH, HELL NO!!

I certainly hope Bernie didn't agree to that!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Uncle Joe]

22. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the heads up, WillyT.

[philly_bob]

23. Not a reassuring choice.

I would have rather seen a law firm chosen, not a military security outfit.

[NJCher]

39. see my post 38

Christie hired a law firm and they pulled a stunt that is so amateurish it would take your breath away: they did an investigation and took no notes!

See this link, where judge expresses disgust for this tactic:

Cher

[Blus4u]

55. they didn't hire an auditor,

they hired a black bag ops fixer.

So the DNC doesn't even care about the appearance of impropriety.
They only care about the Clinton agenda.

79. THIS My Friends Is A Defining Characteristic Of FASCISM!

http://www.rense.com/general37/char.htm

Pay particular attention to #14...

Fourteen Defining
Characteristics Of Fascism
By Dr. Lawrence Britt
Source Free Inquiry.co
5-28-3


Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

33. Jesus wept.

[pa28]

34. Bernie should commission his own audit to find out who downloaded his data in October.

If the Kroll/DNC audit shows it was the Hillary campaign they'll just bury it.

[underthematrix]

67. There's no report Sander's data was downloaded.

It was in October 2015 that Sanders' campaign reported a security glitch in the software DNC was using to store proprietary campaign data.

[pa28]

76. Bernie's campaign manager says their data was being downloaded in October.

"We were very concerned that large amounts of our own data was being downloaded and we contacted the DNC to remedy the situation," he said. "We talked to them and we were assured that this was going to be taken care of. But apparently they are not competent in terms of maintaining the security of their data between the campaigns."

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/18/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-dnc-suspension/

The audit would determine who was responsible.

[underthematrix]

82. I didn't see that report. Thank you.

Is that allegation part of the Sanders' federal lawsuit?

[CoffeeCat]

35. Did we really think that the HNC would act honorably and do the right thing?

Come on people!

We all know this entire thing was a set up.

Did we really think that they would hire a firm that wasn't filled with their corporate henchmen buddies, who are known for producing pre-determined, concocted results?

What a joke!

More low-class shenanigans will only further galvanize Sanders supporters. These corrupt sociopaths serve to remind us how important it is that a good, decent, honest man like Bernie wins the democratic nomination.

[magical thyme]

36. looking forward to the discovery phase of the lawsuit more than ever.

tbh, I am shocked that they would be that brazen. My god their contempt for us is stunning.

[dana_b]

98. Would it be okay if Bernie's wife were

on there instead of Bill Clinton? That wouldn't raise ANY alarms in your head?

[nc4bo]

62. Personally I think there should be 3. HRC's auditor. Sander's auditor and an impartial, NEUTRAL

auditor.

Each candidate's auditor can oversee the entire process. Sen. Sanders, being the outcast, should especially have his own team overseeing the process.

Otherwise it's all bullshit.

[murielm99]

72. No matter who does the audit, you fill find something wrong with them,

shout about a conspiracy theory, yell that it is HRC's fault. Yet, the one guilty of the wrongdoing, namely Bernie's campaign, is as pure as the driven snow. We have fallen into bizzarro world.

[99th_Monkey]

99. Oh please. "Independent" my ass.

Hillary/DWS could hardly have reached any deeper into the Dark Side on this one.

[PosterChild]

73. Instead of an "independent" corporate toady they....

.... they should conduct the independent audit via an on-line poll! Now that will reveal the truth!

[Duval]

No one left to fight against it.

Did you ever think you would hear some defend the poor, innocent lil' predator bankie-wankies for the Great Crash of 07!? Instead they try to place the blame squarely on the prey.

Talk about trifling behaviors. That's what we're up against

97. Not to throw cold water on this outage party, but Sanders agreed to Kroll as auditors days ago

From an article dated 12/19, right after terms to restore access to the master list were decided:

As part of the agreement, the Sanders campaign agreed to an audit of its data, which will be carried out by corporate investigation firm Kroll, according to a Democrat familiar with the outcome. The Democrat also told POLITICO that the Sanders campaign had agreed to sign an affidavit attesting to the actions of its staffers during the data breach.

But I'm sure an established, respectable outfit like "Courthouse News" wouldn't resort to clickbait outage for page views...

Wait, how many recs does this thread have again?

[murielm99]

100. Who is courthouse news?

I couldn't tell much about them. Do you know anything? I wondered why this source was being used, instead of something better known.

[WillyT]

102. Here Ya Go:

[murielm99]

104. I found that on my own.

It told me very little, but thank you for your reply.

[99th_Monkey]

119. Actually this ONLY says that Sander 'agreed to an audit of it's data", not to Kroll as auditor.

After it says "agreed to an audit of it's data" there's a big fat COMMA, before continuing
"which WILL be carried out by .. Kroll" so technically this does NOT say Sanders
agreed to Kroll as the choice, or even that he knew who was going to do the audit, just that
he agreed to the audit.

[pengu]

111. The primary has been rigged from the beginning

This is disgusting but hardly surprising.

[Enthusiast]

113. These people cannot be trusted, ever.

They never do the right thing.

[LuvLoogie]

115. The Revolution is absolutely apoplectic over Bernie's choice of auditor!

The Revolution will not be compromised!

[MineralMan]

117. So, WillyT, which forensic data audit company would you hire?

Please name your favorite. Thanks.

[raindaddy]

120. How can it be independent if the DNC chooses it?

Hopefully Sanders isn't buying this..
