Penry Campaign Manager accused of hacking into RNC database

(We’ve said Bob Beauprez ran the worst campaign in Colorado history. Maybe the title is up for grabs! – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Just keeps getting better for Penry…

http://www.9news.com/news/arti…

The former executive director of the Colorado Republican Party authorized the downloading of a massive e-mail list from the Republican National Committee in direct violation of a contract signed between the two entities.

Multiple sources say Mike Britt, who is now the campaign manager for gubernatorial candidate Josh Penry, paid someone $500 to manipulate the software being used by the national party and to put the names and e-mails of 160,000 Coloradans on a computer disc that remains in the state party’s hands.

Britt, 30, was named to run Penry’s campaign in August. He is a New Jersey native who worked for President George W. Bush in the White House and who was regional director for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 2008 campaign for President.

None of the sources say party chairman Dick Wadhams had any knowledge that the e-mail list was improperly obtained. That seems to be confirmed by internal e-mails seen by 9NEWS.

“I’m not going to get into deals made while I was at the State Party,” Britt said in a phone conversation on Thursday morning. “I had an excellent relationship with the RNC and that continues to this day.”

He refused to comment on paying someone to download the data…

Britt said in a text message to 9NEWS, the RNC list was not being used on the current Penry campaign.

  1. Britt didn’t hack anything. He PAID somebody else to do it. The very idea that an egomaniac like Mike Britt would get his soft hands dirty rummaging through personal email addresses in an illegal manner is absurd and insulting. (Best $500 he’s ever spent I’m sure.)

  2. Maybe not this time (the RNC looks like it’s going to say this was ok), maybe not next time. But this guy clearly has no problem going way over the line. And one of these times it’s going to hurt Josh Penry – big time.

      1. Rather than actually talking to the reporter. Wonder if the RNC can check to see if Mr. Penry has been using the list for his Governor’s race? I am starting to see why McInnis has given the finger to the people at the Colorado Republican Party HQ.

        1. Because I can almost guarantee you that Dick Wadhams knew more then he wants to admit. He’s probably the hacker…needed the 500 bucks, for the straw poll.
