2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: No surprise: Tech sites aren't buying DNC hysteria on breech [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,510 posts)got access to and downloaded, or had the DNC and/or their Vendor, send them the Sanders campaign's information? I know that forensic IT can recover deleted info, but not if it was overwritten many times. I also know that it can be time consuming and expensive to do this. I don't know much about audit trails and the like. Can someone answer this for me?
I find it transparent that neither the DNC nor the Clinton campaign criticized the Vendor. The young guy that ordered the download had to be very frustrated since they had already complained of the dropped firewall and been assured by both the DNC and the Vendor it wouldn't happen again.
I am also worried when I see Rachel Maddow run a "Special Report" first on a serious situation that has been around at least since the mayor of Flint declared a state of emergency a week or two ago. She then spent a relatively small amount of time on this story before going to Trump and the Republicans. She did not even mentioning that this was at least the second time this has happened, and that Bernie's team had brought it to their attention and was given the assurances it wouldn't happen again. This is pretty key to the story!
