Bernie Sanders Campaign Chief Says Someone Must Be 'Accountable' for What DNC Emails Show

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.

Oh I don’t care about Bernie at all, he’s a Chavezista moron. I simply like to see the Democrats in disarray as the more naive ones realize how thuggish and dishonest the DNC has been with all of them.

Maybe they can waterboard DNC officials in front of the 1900 Berniebots and get some real answers....

Sorry for delay getting back with you. I’m with you all the way, except I would like for his supporters to learn the true story on socialism. There is hardly a more dire situation in the world than Venezuela.

I’ve saved dozens of articles to write a blog post on what i call ‘Bernie’s big socialist lie.” to think good people like the Venezuelans are living in beyond abject poverty. Beyond sad.
