used to promote his candidacy. I guess theft of those files back in December are paying off, aren't they?

Sanders has paid $16 million up to March 2016 to Revolution Messaging who are currently still hiring. Where Obama and Sanders part ways is that Obama used Revolution Messaging in a positive manner and Sanders uses the RM interns to bully and attack Hillary supporters and surrogates. It's also how he fundraises, that's why he's raising record numbers compared to Hillary Clinton, according to the site.

Clinton supporter Kim Frederick, who created the hashtag #HillarySoQualified in support of Clinton, spoke to reporter Justin Wm. Moyer after the hashtag had been coopted by Bernie Sanders supporters.

"Referencing Revolution Messaging, the company behind Sanders' digital fundraising, she added, 'Revolution media pays interns $15 an hour to troll people on the Internet. Hillary Clinton does not pay people to sit and troll the Internet. We are real people with real lives, full-time jobs, and we don't have time to sit there,’” the story originally said.

Sanders camp denies this is the case, and the Daily Beast is clearly on Sanders' side, saying those are unfounded rumors. Um. Right. The Daily Beast's article is based entirely on unfounded rumors claiming that Sanders' campaign is not funding those cyber-bullies when it's the core service that RM provides - and Sanders is featured on their pages!

If we're wondering where all those cyber-attacks that we've never seen before Sanders' (doomed) campaign are coming from, wonder no more! As we've been saying all along, these are paid trolls.
