This was a carrot, who could resist seeing another campaigns information. Especially because you didn't have to 'hack' anything, it was 'accidentally' made available.

We're going to keep seeing a lot more of that until she steals the primary. She doesn't have to use political ads or speeches to attack Sanders, she has other ways.

I guess Bernie wasn't going away fast enough for Clinton to be comfortable so she had to force the issue.

Who's the idiot? The DNC or the journalist? It is impossible to prove the data has been discarded. All the campaign can do is issue assurances the data has been removed from their systems. I expect the fired staffer departed with a complete copy of the data set, but there is no way to know.

Candidates' voter details are separated by "a firewall."
That word doesn't mean what they think it means. I have no idea what that statement entails. Are they...on separate servers and networks, protected by firewalls? Or are they "firewalls" on the same server? What would that mean?

Awwwww I read the first 4 words and got really excited, but I guess we're going to have to put up with this social justice warrior meme candidate more

Right on the verge of another DC debate, albeit a weekend one, where viewership will be low anyhow.
Self-Entitled Heir-Apparent Hillary must have been getting worried.

Like Hillary has any room to talk about unauthorized computer usage! Fuck this bitch with rusty razor wire!
