2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernies Press Secretary To Supporters: We Lost Fair & Square, ZERO Election Fraud [View all]Cha
(305,415 posts)55. And, BS Fired 4 Staffers and Apologized to Hillary..
When the data breaches came to light Bernie immediately fired 4 staffers who were believed to have committed the hacking. (Yes, hacking, Claiming it was a vulnerable firewall means they went looking for it and breaching it once they found it is hacking). Bernie, to his credit, did not tolerate, even for a minute, the actions of the 4 individuals that allegedly improperly accessed confidential information belonging solely to Hillary Clinton. What Bernie got upset at was that the DNC cut off his access to the database for 24 hours while they investigated the breach.
And BS apologized to her.

Pesky Source I:
"The independent investigation by CrowdStrike, agreed upon by the Sanders campaign and the DNC, identified evidence of unauthorized access via four user accounts from the Bernie 2016 campaign. All unauthorized access occurred during a one-hour period from 10:41 to 11:42 EST on December 16, 2015.
Pesky Source III:
The move came Friday as the DNC released its independent investigation of the breach , which confirmed much of what was already known about the event. During the breach, Sanders staffers accessed proprietary voter data owned by the campaign of front-runner Hillary Clinton. They conducted 25 searches over an hour. (Evan Halper: LA Times, Washington, April 30, 2016 at 3:05 p.m. )
Wait!
Are all of these sources saying the Sanders campaign did improperly access Hillarys computer information? That the Sanders campaign did access 25 of Hillarys files involving 11 states? That the Sanders campaign did download polling data about Hillarys alleged enthusiasm gap that they have been hawking since January? Thank goodness it was only 4 staffers in the Sanders campaign that he immediately fired. Bernie did the right thing the moment he heard about it and he did it decisively when it happened

Uretsky was recommended by the DNC and NGP VAN. The breach occurred because of NGP VAN

Uretsky didn't hack anything. The company left the firewall down AGAIN. No data was downloaded

When one accessed data without permission and copied it, that person stole the data.

There is so much denial here at DU. The real reason for Hillary's loss truly evades you.
