26) On December 17, 2015, at approximately 2:47 p.m., the DNC suspended or
terminated the Campaigns Voter Data access. The suspension or termination of the Campaigns
access was undertaken without contractual cause, and in contravention of the Agreements
termination protocols.
27) The DNC did not send the Campaign any written notice of termination, much less
afford the Campaign the contractually required ten-day period in which to cure any default.
28) The Campaigns inadvertent access of the Disclosed Information did not
constitute a breach of any provision of the Agreement. Even assuming, arguendo, that the DNC
could prove that Campaign staff intentionally accessed any Disclosed Information, such access
would not amount to a breach of the Agreement, or give the DNC cause to suspend or terminate
the Agreement.

(592 posts)protecting sources is an important tenant of journalism. At least it was when I studied journalism.

(592 posts)that is likely the DNC defense against the breach of contract formal notification clause, however the fact that the DNC did not afford the Sanders campaign 10 days to remedy is indefensible.

(10,122 posts)They did not follow their own contract. DNC could have a rough time in court on that point.
I didn't see anything on "suspend" either.
I have a feeling the DNC will want to remedy this really fast.

(3,649 posts)Any lingering doubts that the DNC wasn't out to get Sanders' campaign with this story has just been thrown out the window.

(2,603 posts)23) Upon information and belief, a similar security incident arose with the NGP VAN
software during the 2008 national presidential primaries, resulting in the unintentional
transmission of Confidential Information to the campaign of Democratic primary candidate
Hillary Clinton (the Prior Incident).
32) Upon information and belief, no action was taken in response to the Prior Incident
in 2008, nor was any candidates access to Voter Data suspended as a result of that Incident.

(928 posts)on that "security incident" to see what it was about. Like maybe an idea to dangle the carrot in front of Bernie's campaign came from that incident in '08? How many times has the firewall gone down? When? Did breaches happen on those occasions also? By who?

is never a coincidence. The leaker to the WaPo definitely had an agenda.

(8,196 posts)Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other party
breaches this Agreement; the non-breaching party sends written notice to the
breaching party describing the breach; and the breaching party does not cure the
breach to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party within ten (10) calendar days
following its receipt of such notice.
Exhibit A., ¶ 6(b) (emphasis added). 14) The Agreement does not permit either Party to suspend its performance of the Agreement prior to terminating the Agreement in accordance with the provision above. 15) The Agreement does not permit either Party to terminate or suspend the Agreement without notice, or without providing the breaching Party with the requisite
opportunity to cure.
