Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: I have never given any support to MOM, so why all the emails thanking me? [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)As an active Democrat, I expect emails from all kinds of fellow Dems - and get them all the time. I have never questioned their genesis, or attached any nefarious goings-on to my receipt thereof.
I merely wanted to point out how ridiculous the conspiracy theories are that the BSers are now circulating.
When the news broke that BS's team had accessed HRC's information, certain DUers started reporting that they were suddenly receiving emails from Hillary - and proferred it as evidence that it was HER campaign that had accessed Bernie's info.
When it was later learned that there had been a computer security glitch back in October, those same DUers started claiming that they had received emails from HRC in October - again "proving" that HER campaign had actually done what Bernie's campaign was accused of doing.
The fact is that the people who are now claiming they received HRC emails back in October never mentioned it at the time they were allegedly receiving these emails. It was only when the October glitch was spoken about that they suddenly "remembered" that they had received HRC emails back then.
Given the computer age we live in, the idea that anyone would immediately don their tin-foil hat because they received an unsolicited email from a candidate is beyond laughable.
BS's camp were caught doing what they shouldn't have done. BS apologized for the incident, and fired those involved. But some BSers are still desperately trying to "prove" that HRC got their email addresses by accessing Bernie's data, because what other possible explanation could there be for receiving emails from a candidate they don't contribute to - other than, of course, the obvious explanations that you have set out.
