Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks during a roundtable discussion in Mount Vernon, Iowa. (Mark Kauzlarich/Reuters) By Rosalind S. Helderman, Anne Gearan and John Wagner December 18 at 8:55 AM 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.

Some of the trade unions are asking members to vote for bernie. This is payback from the clinton regime.

Sound more like a set up. Sander’s campaign didn’t hack the info. It was an error by the provider, obviously well timed.
