Bernie Sanders Campaign Chief Says Someone Must Be 'Accountable' for What DNC Emails Show
ABC News ^ | 2/23/2016 | MaryAlice Parks

Posted on 07/23/2016 3:20:49 PM PDT by orchestra

Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said his team was "disappointed" by the emails from the Democratic National Committee leaked through WikiLeaks, which seemed to reveal staff in the party working to support Hillary Clinton.

"Someone does have to be held accountable," Weaver said during an interview with ABC News. "We spent 48 hours of public attention worrying about who in the [Donald] Trump campaign was going to be held responsible for the fact that some lines of Mrs. Obama's speech were taken by Mrs. Trump. Someone in the DNC needs to be held at least as accountable as the Trump campaign."

Weaver said the emails showed misconduct at the highest level of the staff within the party and that he believed there would be more emails leaked, which would "reinforce" that the party had "its fingers on the scale."

"Everybody is disappointed that much of what we felt was happening at the DNC was in fact happening, that you had in this case a clear example of the DNC taking sides and looking to place negative information into the political process.

If Bernie is allowed to speak, will Bernie be the Cruz of the DNC and give a non-endorsement-endorsement? Two skunks at two garden parties. Bernie has a more legitimate beef with his party, however.

Ha ha, the RNC shafted Bernie and Democrats don’t care!

Who was it that said that Conservatives have Principles, and Liberals have goals. This shows it plainly.

“seemed to reveal”?????

Seemed to? The emails spelled it out plain as day for anyone with a functioning brain. There’s no “seemed to” about it.

The times are rare when I agree with Bernie, but this is one of them - Wasserman needs to resign forthwith along with the MSM co-conspirators and Hillary should be immediately disqualified from running. If you cheat in the Olympics, you’re out.

(but I’m not surprised the MSM is in the thick of it - from minute one after Trumps acceptance speech the codeword from outlet to outlet was “dark”. A “dark” speech. A “dark” viewpoint, etc., etc. Like little wind-up bobbleheads.)

She came. She saw. She stole a nomination. Now take your blue pills and shutup. You fools were disrupting the wrong speeches. You have to fight someone as evil as Hillary as if your life depended on the outcome.
