. >> tonight the campaign manager for bernie sanders and dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz join me live. >> the sanders campaign unfortunately doesn't have anything other than bluster at the moment. >> then donald trump responds to putin's praise. >> at least he's a leader. you know, unlike what we have in this country. >> why top republicans say trump went too far. >> our country does plenty of killing also. >> and a report card for the president as he gives his year-end briefing. >> interesting stuff happens in the fourth quarter. >> "all in" starts now. >> okay, everybody, i've got to get to "star wars." >>> good evening from new york. i'm alex wagner in for chris hayes. a major rift breaking out today in democratic politics as the bernie sanders campaign took the extraordinary step of suing the governing body of the democratic party. that body, the democratic national committee, is led by debbie wasserman schultz, who will join us live momentarily. the sanders campaign claims the dnc is trying to thwart their candidate because it sees the vermont senator as the biggest threat to hil

. >> immediately after weaver's press conference dnc party chair debbie wasserman schultz, if sanders files had been accessed. the problem is that dnc chair's alleged conflict of interest. debbie wasserman-schultz in addition to being dnc chair, is one of hillary clinton's toughest supporters. limiting the number of democratic debates, most of the few debates that have been scheduled have been scheduled for weekends. that means fewer people watching and less of an opportunity for clinton challengers to break through. the fight with the dnc comes as bernie sanders appears to be gaining some momentum. his campaign has now collected more than 2 million individual contributions averaging less than $30 each. sanders says no other candidate who is not a sitting president has ever received 2 million donations at this point in a white house run. hillary clinton has received a smaller number of total contributions, but her average is higher and when you look at how much cash on hand clinton and sanders appear to have it's nearly even and sanders is already starting to blanket the iowa air wave

. >> so the dnc chair, debby wasserman schultz congresswoman debby wasserman schultz. she's an outspoken congresswoman and outspoken supporter of hillary clinton. >> that's correct. and that's fueling the theory that this is simply an effort through debby wasserman-schultz to shut down bernie sanders to make his campaign even more difficult, and less likely he'll catch up with hillary clinton. this is a week that bernie sanders announced he has two million campaign contributers. he picked up endorsements and all of a sudden on a friday going into a debate there is debby wasserman schultz saying we're going to block you from this voter database in response to a more minor breach. the conspiracy troyist theorists are going wild. >> has anything like this happened before? >> no, the republican party share their database. the campaign written agreement that says if you want to suspend somebody, you have to give them ten days written notice and then they have to have the ability to work this out. there was no written notice, no ten-day notice from the dnc to the bernie sande

. >> the eruption came after dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz one of hillary clinton's top supporters announced the sanders campaign was being suspended from accessing a massive democratic party databases. information that campaigns rely on every day. the dnc said it decided to block sanders access after his campaign stafort staffers accesd information in the clinton campaign. >> forming an opinion of the actions we've taken to put the shoe on the other foot. if it were the clinton campaign that accessed the proprietary information of the sanders campaign you would be darned sure that his supporters would demand we take same action. >> but sanders campaign says his office notified them about the problem. for his side, they never shared the clinton fielz. >> we have to assume that our data was equally exposed and updated reports prove that it was. and we just want to -- we wanted to document and understand the scope of the problem so that we could report it accurately. we didn't actually like use it for anything valuable. and we didn't take custodianship of i.t. >> wasserman schultz sa

i'll get reaction from dnc chair, congressman debbie wasserman schultz. she will join us in just a few. first, let's bring in msnbc political correspondent and host steve kornacki for more on how this potentially could hurt sanders in the final weeks before the first votes. so, bottom line, let's talk about first, when we say database and this information, as i understand it, this is information on voters' buying habits, consumer information so that the campaigns can strategize how to reach these important voters. is that the case, steve? >> well, yeah. when you're the bernie sanders campaign and you are relying on a breakout showing in iowa or new hampshire, those first two states, it's all about grassroots outreach, it's all about personally identifying these voters, getting volunteers out there to talk to them, to motivate them, to get them out to the polls, to find out who they are. that's all the information you get from a file like this. to have that access shut off, if this turns into a long-term shuto shutoff, this is a very bad-timed thing from t

congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz is standing by. welcome. it sounds like he apologized tonight, the offending staffer was fired. it sounded like secretary clinton accepted his apology. is all well now? >> yeah, they did move on. after they very quickly disposed of that and i was very proud to see that senator sanders did the right thing and acknowledged that there was wrongdoing done by his campaign, and he said that, you know, the subsequent staffers, if they are found to be culpable, they would be fired, too. so the most important thing is our candidates did all americans proud by having a robust and substantive discussion about the issues important, in stark contrast to the cage match that happens when the republicans get together. >> one more question on this. senator sanders mentioned a couple of months ago there were other breaches of this nature that they quietly went to the vender, who is working with the dnc on this, that things were resolved and it happened previously in the past. this seem he said it was different. it went public,

clearly a truce between bernie sanders and debbie wasserman schultz on that.hat about donald trump going after hillary clinton? going after bill clinton? does this work for him? >> well, it has thus far. look, i think donald trump has done something unique in this campaign which is he has understood the republican electorate better than any of the republican candidates going there and he's understood the media environment in which he can make these pronouncements. the problem for donald trump, though, is for as well as he is doing currently on the republican side, he continues to make himself less electable in the general election. you look at where his negatives are, they're higher than hillary clinton's. if you look at the matchups between donald trump and huillay clinton in a general election, he's the only candidate losing to hillary clinton in some cases by more than ten points. so for as much as this is getting him the attention he loves and adores and is getting him the crowds of republicans it is pushing him further and further away from the possibilit

[ cheers and applause ] >> it's been a real study in contrast in presidential candidates. it was before the paris and san bernardino attacks. senator bernie sanders invited that student in hijab onto the stage when she asked him a question. and i'm fairly certain he'd do the same today. on the gop side donald trump has proposed bang muslims from entering the u.s. republican presidential candidates have disagreed with and sometimes strongly condemned that proposal. but a lot of the bigotry on which it is built has been articulated by a variety of the republican candidates. democratic candidates and politicians have more or less unanimously condemned tru

you can just tell actually by congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. she has already been feeling the heat. they are going to get heat if this goes on awhile. my guess is the pound of flesh, they fired one staffer, sounds like the chair would like to see a little more flesh before they give access. i bet you they work -- my guess is this gets worked out before the caucus. >> at this hour there's no evidence that sanders or the high command knew anything about it. >> you don't want this hanging over the debate if you are either candidate. i don't think the clinton campaign wants it, i don't think sanders, they do have a debate tomorrow night. and i don't think she wants -- i don't think the chairwoman wants to be -- she already got raked over the coals during one of these debates over the debates so my guess is this gets resolved pretty quickly. >> one other thing that has been acknowledged by other senators on both sides and actually most of the other senators are in the clinton camp, that he has been very respectful to hillary clinton, not taking off

this morning -- on meet the press -- debbie wasserman schultz -- the chair of the democratic national committee -- said... that any candidate who raises bill clinton as a negative... does so at their own peril. when asked about bill clinton joining hillary on the campaign trail in january... bernie sanders gave this classic response. sanders says: "i'll tell you what - we are going to let my wife jane out and i think hillary is going to be in real, real trouble." 9:04:29 meanwhile -- ben carson's campaign is showing real signs of trouble. a few days ago -- carson said everything - including personnel changes - was on the table. he dialed it back a bit today on face the nation. but he still said that changes are coming. carson says: "there will be some alterations. one thing i want to response to attacks, particularly when they are false. we have kind of taken a nonchalant attitude." tomorrow -- chris christie and marco rubio will start a three day swing through iowa. trump will join them on tuesday. but that final sprint to the caucus really won't start in earnest until after the new

do you believe debbie wasserman schultz and the dnc are trying to promote the hillary clinton campaignin. >> i think the evidence is mounting. it's almost irrefutable. that there are people in the dnc who are trying to help secretary clinton. you don't set up the debate schedule before the first four states. many of them held on saturdays if you're not trying to help the front-runner. they share an attorney in this case. the same law firm represents the dnc that represents hillary clinton. the vendor that's being used at the dnc. that's a former clinton administration employee. he's given money for hillary. look, the interconnection between people and democratic establishment who are connected with the clintons and with the dnc, the evidence is pretty overwhelming. >> the response from the hillary clinton campaign issued a statement. if you are so proud, referring to the bernie sanders campaign, of your grass roots organization, you should not need to resort to stealing campaign data. your response. >> we had one person we know s misbehaved. that person is fired. bernie sanders campaig

debbie wasserman schultz /democratic chair "they took it. like they walked into an unlocked door of a home, ransacked it, rummaged around, took things that didn't belong to them." sanders fired one staffer, who claims he was just trying to expose the security flaw which left clinton's voter information vulnerable. s/ josh uretsky / fired sanders staffer "i did not download any voter file data. i did look... the only thing i looked at was making sure it was not our data." the dispute illuminates the rift between the dnc and the candidates who trail frontrunner hillary clinton in the polls they've accused the committee of favoring clinton's campaign over theirs... s/ jeff weaver / sanders campaign manager "the overreaction by the chairwoman at the dnc.. absolutely unacceptable. un-democratic." the internal democratic dustup is even drawing shots from republicans on the campaign trail. s/ donald trump / republican presidential candidate "this debate, he said i don't want to discuss the emails, it's fine what he did. he gave his whole thing away

d-n-c chair debbie wasserman schultz pushed back, insisting that the suspension is reasonable. (debbie wasserman schultz) "it's like if you had, if you found the front door of the house unlocked, and someone decided to go into the house, and take things that didn't belong to them, and then when they were caught, they the still insisted on having access to the house." i'm reid binion, reporting the sanders campaign will remain suspended until it provides the d-n-c with a full explanation of the episode and provides proof that any accessed data has been discarded. the f-b-i and u-s marshals are joining the search for a texas teenager who they think is on the run. ethan couch received probation two years ago following a drunk driving crash that killed four people. couch's attorneys made headlines in the case after they invoked a defense that he suffered from "affluenza.".. meaning he was a rich kid who was less culpable because his parents did not set limits for him. anderson says: "well just for his actions and tragedy, i mean here he killed four innocent people -- shattered the l

did any worse year than debbie wasserman schultz? >> that's tough to say. ke the marco rubio saying malle la is an underage muslim who doesn't drink. but debbie wasserman schultz she really has nothing to write home about for 2014. i don't know why she still has her job in terms of what happened with the election forle democrats. >> how does she still have a job? >> well, because if she is willing to dedicate herself to going out there every day, fund-raising like this, i mean it's not a job that i would ever want. and i don't think reince priebus is doing that well, either. he hasn't made as many gaffes as debbie wasserman schultz but that is certainly not a store job that i think people should be running after. you got elected to congress to do a job and she is doing a different job than the one that she was elected to do. i personally wouldn't say that she had the worst year. a few of those gaffes are obviously, if not great, if you have a democrat socialist running and bernie sanders who is not a full socialist -- >> he criticized her, obviously, as the
