Amid reports that the hack of the Democratic National Committee was even broader than had been made public, the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress is calling the incident an "electronic Watergate."
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi compared the hack to the infamous break-in of DNC offices at the Watergate complex that was tied back to President Richard Nixon and the White House.
"Let me just say this in terms of the presidential campaign: This is an electronic Watergate," Pelosi said. "This is a break in."
Pelosi was responding to a report late Wednesday by The New York Times that the scope of the hack of the DNC was broader than had been known. Citing sources familiar with the investigation, the Times reported that hackers compromised the private email accounts of over 100 party officials and groups, including officials in the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Governors Association -- though a Democratic source said that the DGA inclusion was incorrect.

Deep Throat was never murdered. The DNC staffer was...
I wonder what Pelosi thought of the 18 min of missing tape of Nixon’s? She cares nothing about 30+k of missing emails.
How can someone hack over 100 passwords, and access so many accounts?
I don’t think it was a hack...it was an inside job.
Hillarygate shows the importance of whistleblowers.
Likely the info is coming from a DNC staffer who saw corruption and wanted to expose it, or might be from within the FBI or DOJ. Citizens see illegalities and want accountability.
This is actually more similar to the Pentagon Papers where an insider leaked documents to expose the truth. Leftists praised that at the time and still do.
If the “FBI Insider” from 4chan is correct, the Clinton Foundation investigation alone could lead to dozens of indictments at the top level of American politics.
Go away you bat chit crazy b*tch
I think it was an inside job by the dead staffer, Seth Rich.
Dems have hired a crisis manager to speak for the family now:
Amazingly Pelosi, the tone deaf bimbo, meant “electronic Watergate” as an attack on Trump and HRC’s opponents.
She was attempting comparison of the hack to the attempted Watergate burglary.
Problem is, anyone who sees her quote will think of the Watergate Tapes that ended the Nixon Presidency. They won’t think of the break-in.
They will draw equation between the stream of damaging tape releases that took Nixon down vs the stream of email releases that may end up taking HRC down
Not if you the door open.
"[Hillary] was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality."
Except this "electronic Watergate" most likely was conducted by disgruntled DNC insiders.
Is it appropriate to call it an electronic Watergate, Nancy? Or, are you still phishing for something that will take hold in your blame game?
If you could just witness my cat's 5 minutes of unsupervised activity on my keyboard, your question would be moot ;-)
I suspect that a couple of NSA people who knew each other well decided to do a side job. This job is consistent with their oaths and they can confidently say during their annual lie detector test that they have done nothing to harm the United States.
You can be assured that there is no paperwork, no charge numbers, and none of the regular bureaucratic paraphernalia like reports or statistics. They probably meet in a room that is regularly swept for bugs and coordinate their efforts.
Just what we have seen so far probably took three or four people six months. Most likely we will never know who they were and I’m happy with that.
Good job, guys. Thanks.
The hackers probably used Hillary’s server to make phishing attackers on less secure correspondants. Such as members of the DNC.
No need for an internal source, though there certainly could have been one.
Seth Rich, rest in peace.
More likely, the emails are the Pentagon Papers.
Yes, he basically said it could bring down the entire government, things were so intertwined, including the GOP and the Dem Congress members.
This is a REVELATION!!!..... and she can’t stand the truth coming out!
Nixon was right to execute Watergate, the DNC hack, which was not a hack but an inside job was also correct.
The government spying on the public is a break-in also.
The old b***h is scared.....GOOD!
