(13,734 posts)Sorry. How do you know that the DNC "buckled?" Why if true?
Please use reason to show how you reached this assertion. Perhaps there is another explanation you refuse to consider.
We already know that data was saved (downloaded into their files) by BS staffers, so the discussion is really both an ethical and a legal one...does unauthorized gleaning of sensitive data belonging to a presidential opponent constitute a theft? Of course we also have to solve the problem of whether the fact that the firewall was temporarily down changes anything...just because one can, should one?
Then there is the problem of the lawsuit itself...could it possibly be a strategy? Investigations usually take time, and sometimes a long time, just as a point to consider. There are so many legal steps and filings. Anyone can file a lawsuit.
Your assertion in line three is based on what fact? Please link.
