If it's not the hypocrisy, it's the lack of truth telling.

.and Amal were played. His public explanation for his high end dinner was to help the entire party. But less than 1% of her 61M has gone down ticket.
How naive can a savvy movie star/producer and an international lawyer be?

(51,827 posts)All he has done is invite supporters to donate to three fringe candidates who have endorsed him. At least one of those candidates will also be helped by DNC money raised by Clinton.

(2,212 posts)... yes, it does seem legitimate, seeing as it's based on an analysis of the latest Federal Election Committee filings.
On the other hand, if you're referring to the Clinton Victory Fund, no, it doesn't seem legitimate, seeing as the movement of funds resembles a shell game and is in direct contradiction to the oft-repeated talking point that Hillary Clinton has been raising large sums of money for down-ticket Democrats. Then again, maybe you were being sarcastic.
Old Crow
(2,212 posts)... did you lose track of where the money came from and where it went? Good! That's the plan.
This is so typical of the Clintons that it's hard to feel surprise at the revelation.

(2,570 posts)this is the second story in as many days that thoroughly debunks their BS (the other here http://www.politicususa.com/2016/04/29/bernie-sanders-withdraws-lawsuit-dnc-proven-correct-data-breach.html) which will result in their acting like it never happened...
SunSeeker
(51,827 posts)The DNC investigation actually found that Sanders staff exported data. Why else would Sanders dismiss his lawsuit? His lawsuit asked for millions in damages. The DNC did not pay him any damages.
But none of that has anything to do with the issue raised in the OP.
stupidicus
(2,570 posts)The independent investigation found that Sanders didnt steal any data, had no access to the Clinton campaigns strategy or data, and did nothing wrong.
Of course it has nothing "directly" to do with the OP, and serves as what it was intended to -- Hillarians making a fed case outta bs they inevitably wind up wearing as they now do the "he stole data" turd.
SunSeeker
(51,827 posts)A Sanders staffer was absolutely found to have exported data. Three other staffers were also involved and accessed Clinton data but "only" moved it to their personal folders within the same DNC system. And the investigation explicitly found that neither the Clinton nor the O'Malley campaigns accessed other campaign's data, let alone exported it.
THAT is why Sanders quietly dismissed his suit "with prejudice." Because the independent investigation that he called for found his campaign had done what the DNC suspected.
stupidicus
(2,570 posts)beyond a second grade level, no?
What is it about
An independent investigation of the firewall failures in the DNCs shared voter file database has definitively confirmed that the original claims by the DNC and the Clinton campaign were wholly inaccurate the Sanders campaign never stole any voter file data; the Sanders campaign never exported any unauthorized voter file data; and the Sanders campaign certainly never had access to the Clinton campaigns strategic road map.
that you don't understand?
Oh that's right, you obviously either lack sufficient mental acuity to resolve the "voter data" that led to the "trying to steal her voters" bs charge with the "While there is evidence that the terminated staffer may have exported a
summary datatable" onto the distinct things that they are, or are lacking in the intellectual integrity required to admit they are two different things, in real terms and in potential value to both campaigns.
so which is it you suffer from -- ignorance or dishonesty, because all "data" is not created not does it continue to exist as equals, and it was the alleged/possible voter data theft that got the knickers in a wad, as well as the idea that he was personally involved -- both of which have been disproven.
so run along eh.
SunSeeker
(51,827 posts)What I stated is fact. Why else would Sanders dismiss his complaint with prejudice--a complainst that demanded millions from the DNC?
