In reply to the discussion: Sanders campaign hints ‘hacker’ who accessed Clinton data may have been a DNC plant [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)that required an answer of "and the DNC referred us to that guy in the first place." That's entirely everyone's point.
As for your point about this happened in 2008, I keep seeing Sanders supporters make that point over and over again and nothing anywhere has shown that anything even remotely similar to this happened in 2008. Even Sanders' own lawsuit against the DNC says that the breach that allowed the Clinton team to see others' data was "unintentional." Which is 100% different from this very deliberate, VERY intentional breach of data by the Sanders campaign. So I have no idea why anyone would think that continuously bringing this up is helping Sanders or his team.
Do you object to HRC defending herself from the worst accusations that were leveled at her because of her poor judgment in using a single account for business and private email on her private server?
I have absolutely no idea what this has to do with the subject at hand. You could not have pulled that further out of left field. And as stupid as it was for her to have a separate email account, the email business is in no way the same level as the deliberate attempt to steal data from a rival campaign. It's fascinating that anyone would even try to pretend that it is.
