Personally, I don't feel Bernie would ever condone or encourage his staff to do what they did, however, it's disappointing at how his camp are responding. There is no level of ownership in this matter, just deflection. Apologize, delete the files (if they're still saved), and then try to make amends with hopes of an early lift on the suspension. Had this been an accident as some in there camp were insinuating, I wouldn't have a problem and would give kudos had they self-reported, BUT, they didn't. Some individuals took it upon themselves to take, take, and take some more, saving to their personal accounts on the server.
It's a bit astounding that instead of full accountability being taken, after being blatantly caught, they point the finger to the DNC for a harsh punishment that followed. What other course of action would've been deemed satisfactory to fit the problem? The data was what had been breached, therefore, data access should be suspended to the guilty party. Also, I think the DNC, along with the software company are to be held accountable. Such collapses should not be happening, especially with sensitive voting data such as this.
Yes, the breach shouldn't have happened, BUT no one held a gun to Bernie's staff for 40 minutes, forcing them to steal as much info from their competition as possible. They should've left it alone and reported the problem instead of taking advantage of it.
