2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I just read why 64 Bernie NV delegates had their credentials stripped--and I shed a tear or two [View all]cnico
(1 post)This was just settled within the past few weeks, and most definitely the Sanders campaign was found innocent of accessing Clinton's database when the firewall was disabled.
The company that maintains the db is a BIG HRC supporter and former contractor. It is believed that they dropped the firewall as a way to trump up charges against Bernie. And with that the DNC cut off access to Bernie's campaign for 2 days. No one know what HRC did during that time and it is very likely that they did access their campaign database. Regardless, a huge database containing the voting records and registrations of all 50 states was discovered not long ago. Most of it was publicly accessible information, but it had all been compiled into one database. And given that coffee cat was clearly a Bernie Sanders supporter AND a delegate... obviously they could have targeted her/him on that basis alone. But my main point is Sanders did not hack into Clinton's campaign and they were exonerated of those charges.
