Clinton campaign sweats out data breach damage (Rat spat alert)
Politico ^ | December 21, 2015 | Glenn Thrush and Annie Karni

Accusing your opponent of committing evil and unpardonable crimes is basic presidential campaign jujitsu. But Hillary’s Clinton's team is genuinely jittery about the sneak peek taken by Bernie Sanders staffers into their secret voter file.

The unauthorized fishing expedition into the database housing the names and demographic information of voters Clinton plans to target - which led to the sacking of a top Sanders staffer and the suspension of two more - has embittered the campaigns against one another, even if the two principals made nice on the debate stage Saturday night.

And it's a source of real and deepening concern for Clinton's data and voter targeting teams in Iowa - where Clinton leads by single digits - and New Hampshire, where she trails neighboring-state Sen. Sanders by a similar spread.

"We're down in New Hampshire and we all know Iowa is going to tighten," said one Clinton staffer on the ground in a battleground state. "[The Sanders team] is full of s--t when they say they didn't get any intel ... It's like the opposing general getting your battle plans."

I would rather throw away Bubba, Chelsea and the new baby than let that Commie Sanders find out how we plan to cheat!

Database damage? Is she speaking of hacks of her private server?

Maybe they should ask Bernie’s campaign team to unearth all the missing IRS and State Department emails.

.... said one Clinton staffer ...."[The Sanders team] is full of s--t when they say they didn't get any intel when they hacked Hillary's secret voter file. It's like the opposing general getting your battle plans"......

So I guess Sanders got (1) Bill Clinton's global itinerary, (2) the Clintons offshore account numbers from which Bill's gonna wire-transfer big bucks to Hillary's campaign account, (3) the fake names to list as "donors" for the FEC.....and, (4) the press release WRT Hillary being so "popular," she "raised" a ton of money.

OTOH....Sanders could make zillions selling the info to her opposition.

So she can’t keep government secrets, and now she cannot even keep campaign secrets.

...and Dems want to MAKE HER PRESIDENT?

like many generals, the hillary folks are fighting the last war

they think money is the weapon that will carry the field

they failed to consider the devastating attacks by a charismatic leader that can and will attack the pitiful mindless woman

Amazing that Hillary The Liar is suddenly concerned about the "sancitity" of computer data...

LISTEN UP!! Everyone should refer to Bill Clinton’s wife as “Mrs. Clinton”, not “Hillary” because that tends to humanize her too much.

Considering her past history, I prefer Killary as a tag.

Why would Hillary use a server of the DNC to hold her private data concerning her donor base. This does not make sense. I am confused.
