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.

“MAYBE BERNIE WILL PULL A TED.”

Bernie Sanders may be a hard-core socialist whose ideas would surely destroy what’s left of our country. He may be a sell out and a Hillary ass-kisser (shudder), but don’t compare him to Ted Cruz, because Cruz is worse than any anti-American POS in the Democrat party I can think of, except maybe Obama and the Witch herself.

DNC: Where no rule of law exists, there is no need for accountability. This is communism - the party is all that matters.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz will have to fall on her hyphen.

Now that was good. 

THAT WAS VERY GOOD. DEBBIE NEEDS TO GO BEFORE THE END OF THE CONVENTION, AND BERNIE’S PEOPLE SHOULD DEMAND IT. THEN BERNIEIS PEOPLE SHOULD DEMAND SOME RECOUNTS OF THE SUPER DELEGATES

-- DNC: Where no rule of law exists .... --

It's more broad than that. "Politics" is where no rule of law exists. Both (all) parties know it, both (all) parties take advantage of it.

She needs to purchase a really good Rear View Mirror ... Ted Cruz is rumored to have applied for her job and he is gaining!

Bernie is exactly like Ted.

His “man of the people” act is BS, because it only goes as far as the Uniparty bosses let it. He’s been told to stand down despite the obvious and irrefutable evidence of collusion, corruption and bias. He’ll do as he’s told because they’ve found a skeleton in the closet, probably having to do with his wife and loans.

He’s having a “can’t miss” meeting for his delegates while the Hillaroids ram through the planks and rules. How nice of him, how full of outrage at the cheating.

At this meeting, he’ll plead for unity against Trump, and say it’s “Up to the party” to police up the DNC cheat machine. Can’t have a fight that puts Trump in office.

Everybody assumes Ted Cruz let his ego get the best of him at the RNC Convention, but I’m guessing it was a suicide mission given him by the Uniparty. He’ll end up running as or supporting a third party candidate for “true constitutional conservatives” bankrolled by Wall Street Globalists.

I hope I’m wrong. Maybe the Bernbots will be so mad they’ll trash Philly anyway, or maybe Bernie says screw this and fights. Perhaps Cruz really is that arrogant and petty. I guess it’s possible.

Doesn’t matter anyways. Short of the unthinkable, Trump/Pence will mop up the floor despite all backroom treachery. They can only cheat so much.

it will be one of the few times because Bernie is bashing Trump all the time on Twitter until today. There is nothing good about him. There’s nothing Noble about him.

I cant feel sorry for Bernie...there are plenty of seriously bad examples in South American, about what happens to countries turning to socialism.

Bernie was peddling a big big lie that is deadly. And he tries to wear the saint halo. He is getting what he deserves. He knew it was a lie. This time it didnt take Karma much time to catch up with him.

Bernie already folded like a cheap Suit.

Now he’ll convince his Delegates to do the same.

It’s all Smoke and Mirrors. Marxists are birds of a feather.

BTW - I hope I’m 180 degrees off with my prediction. LOL

I want the 68 Democrat Convention to be a warm up for this one so bad that I can taste it.
