How are they siding with Hillary? Bernie Sanders' team exploited the DNC server and downloaded confidential voter information.

My problem with this is the whole confidential voter info. I tried to look it up but no mention of what the information was. Shouldn't in a fair election campaign all candidates have the same information about a voter?

Not if the information was gathered by another candidate. They aren't out there spending money on research to share it with their competition. I expect this issue to be resolved by the end of the day, once again Aman is delusional.

I too am curious what exactly what the "confidential voter info" is exactly. Sanders should just resign with some dignity after this blow to his campaign. His campaign is limping through the primary election on life support.

If Hillary can survive the debacle that was (and still is) her e-mail nonsense, this is hardly going to damage Sanders.

The difference is Hillary is controlling $$$ the media right now. This isn't going to be a case where the media painted the emails and Benghazi as a witch-hunt. This is going to be a case where Sanders is going to accuse Hillary and the media as a witch-hunt.

Well, you hit the nail on the head at least.

The difference being that the e-mail scandal was Hillary's fault, and this scandal is an aide's fault. If Sanders should have to "resign with dignity" over this, there's no reason Hillary shouldn't have done so a long time ago.

You have to actually do something wrong to need a fall man in a first place. Prove that Sanders was actually complicit and we'll have something to talk about.
In the meantime, he has the chance to turn this into a ton of free publicity and, if he's good enough, can spin this in his favor. We'll see how it plays out.

He should hire Trump's PR guy. That guy could make you fall in ***and come out smelling like a rose, as seen many times so far.

Look, folks. You can say whatever you want to ease your own consciences. It's not my place to judge.
But it's right out there in the open, obvious to anyone with the sense to watch and listen to the evidence.
Killing innocents and destroying communities in war today creates new enemies for tomorrow. Our history of exactly that is a big reason why ISIS is able to exist at all. Yes radicals and terrorists are always around, but if a farmer doesn't have a field it doesn't matter how many seeds he's got to plant.
Rather than letting one rotten fruit die on the vine we've give fertile fields for entire crops of poisonous yields.
So unless you're willing to go all war crimes up in here and actively target entire populations to utterly wipe them out (aka: genocide), more killing is not the final answer here. We have other means to defeat such organizations without even fighting. Including forming an alliance with many nations aimed against terrorism on all sides. While I agree with you 110% I still don't think we should allow such a group to even exist let alone expand. The difference between us and them is that we develop smart bombs and such to minimize collateral dmg while they seek to do harm to unarmed civilians.
If you end up electing Trump, you won't have many allies. He also said he would "carpet bomb" the entire area and accepts that a lot of innocent people are going to die. You mean when not if!

I don't think he is going to even talk about it rly, the DNC will restore his access, and it will be forgotten. Talk about it too much and someone will just point out that there was some wrongdoing, and someone did get fired over it.
