In reply to the discussion: Sanders camp suspends two more staffers over data breach [View all]JDPriestly

Sanders did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide, so he went to court.
Hillary supporters want to sweep this under the rug.
The facts are likely to show that the Hillary supporters do not understand what happened at all.
No. The favoritism on the part of the DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as well as the media toward Hillary is very evident in the way this has been handled.
There was most likely a breach of contract on the part of the contractor, the vendor that did not separate the data of the various campaigns at all times, did not properly maintain the firewall between the data of the Hillary and Sanders campaigns.
My suspicion is that Sanders' employees noticed that Hillary data was showing up in the general queries they did of the database supplied to them, and then, to verify that, indeed they were getting a mixture of Hillary and Sanders data, queried the database specifically for Hillary's information and found that, indeed, they were getting Hillary's information when they were not supposed to be getting it.
I say that based on my own experience querying databases some years ago, my own experience reviewing documents some years ago.
We shall see because an independent investigation will take place.
A big question for the Sanders campaign is, whether, since they were getting Hillary's data and the queries they did prove that fact, Hillary's campaign might have been getting Sanders' data and not been aware of that fact or just continued without further ado to use a combined database. I'm not saying that happened. I don't know.
But finding that out is one of the reasons that Bernie is probably going to push further for an independent investigation.
If Bernie was getting Hillary's data, it is quite possible that at least at times, Hillary was getting Bernie's data. Hillary's campaign may not have noticed or may have just quietly ignored the mixing of the data. It is also possible that the mixed data was only supplied to or dumped on the Bernie campaign.
This matter is not over. It is not time to move on.
The DNC made accusations. We want to know the full truth.
