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

Posted on 07/23/2016 2:34:47 PM PDT by Zakeet

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."

"We have an electoral process. The DNC, by its charter, is required to be neutral among the candidates. Clearly it was not," Weaver said, responding for the first time to the growing controversy. "We had obviously pointed that out in a number of instances prior to this, and these emails just bear that out."

The Wikileaks e-mail release today was so bad to Sanders that it will make it impossible for him to support her, unless he is a fraud!

Excellent.

Angry Santa keeps talking about a revolution. His supporters should start one at the convention. Here’s hoping the Democrats have flashbacks of ‘68.

Well, I say unfortunately as a former supporter, I wouldn’t put it past him.

Just like with Jeb, it doesn't matter how much Hillary spends. This single tweet was worth millions.

AP just posted this:

The Bernie Sanders campaign is urging its 1,900 delegates not to miss a private meeting with him right before the start of the Democratic National Convention.

In a text to delegates Saturday, the campaign says the meeting about “continuing the political revolution” is the “most important thing you can do at the DNC.” It was obtained by The Associated Press.

Delegates are expressing concerns about the meeting’s timing. It is being held at 2 p.m. Monday miles away from the Wells Fargo Center, where the convention begins at 3 p.m. Votes on the Democratic platform and rules are planned that day.

A leader of the Bernie Delegates Network, Karen Bernal, says most delegates will skip the Sanders

Well, no matter what he does I think there is going to be rioting in the street and probably a tumult will break out indoors as well.

Nice optics for the Witch!

Her polls should be dropping to new lows!

You mean David Kendall, Clinton’s consigliere?

Hillary and Wasserman-Schultz are examples of why the concept that ‘the world would be better if run by women’ is far from true. They are also examples of how false is the idea of women being more trustworthy and empathic. Some are, some aren’t. Just like men. That’s why we should choose leaders on the basis of their integrity and qualifications, not on the basis of their race, gender, or otherwise.

I missed that tidbit about Cruz, is there a link to that?

That was an inaccurate post, which has since been deleted.

Burnout Sanders has already endorsed H*****y. Under the circumstances, will he muster up some integrity and withdraw his endorsement?

It turned out to be nothing more than one of Cruz’ massed produced money-begging emails. Someone at the DNC must have signed up to receive Cruz’ email blasts, and the computer personalized it. Iow, a tempest in a teapot.

“a Bernie supporter is just another name for useful idiot”

Sadly, though, useful idiots vote. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Bernie transferred his endorsement from Hillary (for good reason) to Trump because she screwed him over so badly?

“His supporters should start one at the convention.”

Some Bernie delegate chick on Fox today (Varney’s show, I think) said that if certain things didn’t happen (”they have four days to fix it”) the trouble on the convention floor would be much worse than during the RNC Convention.
