I posted a lot of stuff tonight. All of the news is so bad and all I can do
is share information with folks. As for Bernie, the DNC has done everything
from the start, to get rid of him. They are being ruthless, and obviously
so. That could get them Donald Trump for President.

Officials with the Democratic National Committee have accused the
presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders of improperly accessing
confidential voter information gathered by the rival campaign of
Hillary Clinton, according to several party officials.
Jeff Weaver, the Vermont senator's campaign manager, acknowledged that
a staffer had viewed the information but blamed a software vendor
hired by the DNC for a glitch that allowed access. Weaver said one
Sanders staffer was fired over the incident.
The discovery sparked alarm at the DNC, which promptly shut off the
Sanders campaign's access to the strategically crucial list of likely
Democratic voters.
The DNC maintains the master list and rents it to national and state
campaigns, which then add their own, proprietary information gathered
by field workers and volunteers. Firewalls are supposed to prevent
campaigns from viewing data gathered by their rivals.
NGP VAN, the vendor that handles the master file, said the incident
occurred Wednesday while a patch was being applied to the software.
The process briefly opened a window into proprietary information from
other campaigns, said the company's chief, Stu Trevelyan. He said a
full audit will be conducted.
The DNC has told the Sanders campaign that it will not be allowed
access to the data again until it provides an explanation as well as
assurances that all Clinton data has been destroyed.
Having his campaign cut off from the national party's voter data is a
strategic setback for Sanders - and could be a devastating blow if it
lasts.
The episode also raises questions about the DNC's ability to provide
strategic resources to campaigns and state parties.

accessed Clinton data, and that three of them did so at the direction
of their boss, Josh Uretsky, who was the operative fired.

The DNC is likely to initiate an outside audit to examine how the
incident occurred and whether any other data was improperly seen.
"The DNC places a high priority on maintaining the security of our
system and protecting the data on it," DNC spokesman Luis Miranda said
in a statement. "We are working with our campaigns and the vendor to
have full clarity on the extent of the breach, ensure that this
isolated incident does not happen again, and to enable our campaigns
to continue engaging voters on the issues that matter most to them and
their families."
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, declined to comment.
Trevelyan, the head of NGP VAN, described the episode as an "isolated
incident that was fairly short in duration," and he added: "By
lunchtime, it was resolved."
Officials said they were unlikely to ask for a criminal investigation.
However, Sanders could face political fallout from the impression that
his staff worked to gain an unfair advantage.
Voter information is the lifeblood of day-to-day campaign contact with
potential supporters. Sophisticated campaigns spend millions gathering
information such as how likely individual voters are to cast ballots
in primary elections as well as which candidate they currently favor.
The data also could include detailed consumer information designed to
help the campaign target their appeals to groups of voters.
The dispute erupted as Sanders and Clinton prepare to take part in
their third debate, in New Hampshire on Saturday night.
Maintaining the master list is one of the prime responsibilities of
the national party committee, particularly at a time when other
outside political groups and super PACs are increasingly taking on
roles once served by party committees.
For that reason, the security lapse could deal a blow to the DNC.
