Bernie Sanders Campaign Blocked From DNC Voter Info After Improper Access (washingtonpost.com)
PolygamousRanchKid writes with news that staffers for the Bernie Sanders campaign improperly viewed the voter data gathered by Hillary Clinton's campaign by exploiting a software error. "The discovery sparked alarm at the DNC, which promptly shut off the Sanders campaign's access to the strategically crucial list of likely Democratic voters. The DNC maintains the master list and rents it to national and state campaigns, which then add their own, proprietary information gathered by field workers and volunteers. Firewalls are supposed to prevent campaigns from viewing data gathered by their rivals." On Wednesday, while the software was being patched, it briefly opened access to all of the restricted voter data. The Sanders campaign fired the staffer responsible for viewing the data, Josh Uretsky. The campaign says their access was simply part of an investigation to determine their own exposure, and blames the vendor (and those who hired it) for improperly securing the data.
This is the person saying Trump is electable.
You are welcome on my lawn.
So, no, Clinton did not access any of the Sanders data, and yes, we do KNOW that. It's not speculation, it's a known fact.
...as dictated by Nathaniel Pearlman, co-owner of NGP-VAN (the company in charge of the data), and Hillary Clinton's chief technology officer for her 2008 campaign. Surely there's no conflict of interest there, right?
This should put a final end to the Sanders campaign
Except it won't, regardless of what shills like you tell everyone what "should" happen. You can bray all you want about how Hillary is going to win the general election, but it doesn't make it so until it actually happens. I support Sanders, but I won't vote for Clinton. If you think that all of Sanders' supporters are going to switch to Hillary if she gets the Democratic nomination then you're wrong. I would rather see Sanders run as an independent in the general election, he already has the name recognition and support that would have precluded a run like that if he hadn't been allowed to debate on TV.
But now we know the depths he'll stoop to in order to try for it anyway.
What we know is that he didn't "stoop" to any "depth". His volunteer in charge of data caught the vendor with the firewall down, allowing the Clinton campaign access to all of the Sanders data. We also know that shills like you will continue to try and make this into a loss for Sanders. We already know how Clinton works, this doesn't change our minds. We know that Sanders is trustworthy, and we know that Clinton is not. The DNC can try to handicap Sanders but he already has our support.

There's no evidence that any documents were improperly deleted.
That seems like quite the statement. How do we determine this when she FUCKING DELETED EVERYTHING?
The investigation shows that none of the documents which were sent to/from the server were classified at the time of transmission.
That is a lie. The classification markings were removed from the documents, but as an original classification authority, there is strong evidence that she should have known that the items had been previously marked classified.
There is no evidence presented to date which indicates any security breaches of the server, so there's no indication that unauthorized people might have gained access to those documents.
So? The server was incredibly unsecure, it is a miracle if it wasn't breached, but as she had it wiped (after the subpoena for the information!), we may never know.
It was legal at the time for someone in her position to use a private server for official communications
No, it absolutely was against the law, and has been for a long time.

(something *both* of her predecessors also did)
Incorrect. Both of her predecessors did not run their own servers. Rice didn't use email, and Powell used state email systems for official communication, and still turned over his private email (from a provider, not his own server) after he was done.
The laws barring it were written and passed *after* she had stepped down.
The law was clarified, it was edited to make it more clear that email was considered a record, but nothing about the law was changed, official records have always been required to be kept.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
I'm desperately fucking sick of hearing how the minimum wage is supposed to be for kids, etc.
“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” -FDR 1933 statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA)
“Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000.00 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company’s undistributed reserves, tell you — using his stockholders’ money to pay the postage for his personal opinions — tell you that a wage of $11.00 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry.” -FDR 1938 Fireside Chat explaining support for minimum wage and Fair Labor Standards Act.
The '33 statement on NIRA is actually pretty good. http://docs.fdrlibrary.marist....
