Brazile: DNC staffers got death threats after email hack

[BainsBane]

Interim Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Donna Brazile says DNC staffers' lives "were threatened" following Russia's hacking campaign last year.

“When it comes to the staff of the Democratic Party, I will stand by them. They are the best and the brightest, the hardest working, the most dedicated, and — let me say this — the most courageous people I know,” Brazile told DNC members on Friday, according to Politico.

"I watched for the last seven months people who came to work after their lives were threatened. After they had to deal with bomb threats, after they had to deal with people who wanted to murder them ... they came to work for you, they didn’t back down, and I will never back down for them." . . .

“So don’t start anymore of this dis-unified party, we are unified,” Brazile said. “We are going to elect new officers tomorrow who are going to lead us forward.”

1. Was law enforcement ever called to investigate?

Keep records of tweets, emails, voicemails etc. That is what you do in this age of social media. She should have shown the proof and said "Now talk to me."

2. I don't know anymore than is in the article

This is the first I've heard of it.

3. She implies Brenie fans were threatening to kill staffers and set off bombs... THEN says...

“So don’t start anymore of this dis-unified party, we are unified,” Brazile said.

4. Where does she imply it was Bernie fans?

5. She didn't imply those threatening were Bernie fans.

This is your own interpretation.

6. She didn't say that

but she recounted what her staff was subject to. They obviously kept it under wraps for a long time because I never heard about it until now. You apparently think she should have kept it secret forever because of your suspicions about the culprits.
