The Sanders' staffers say that when this second breach occurred, they decided to see if they could find the problem so that they could explain to NV what was going on since the company had not corrected it. Consequently, they did look at the data in the process of trying to find the cause of the breaches. Sanders fired their boss.
When the campaign reported the breach, the DNC went to the press -- Washington Post -- rather than working with the Sanders people to fix things. That would have been the time to discuss whether Sanders had ordered his staff to download and print data relating to HRC's campaign strategy, etc.
Instead, they cut his connection to his data. Bernie very quickly decided to go to court to get an injunction to reverse this situation. Jeff Weaver predicted that the DNC would just as quickly come to them to work things out rather than face a discovery process that would likely entail the reading of emails between DWS and HRC.
What makes this look even more suspicious as an attempt to discredit Sanders is that tech people are pointing out that in order to do a patch, which is what NV says led to the breach, NV should have just shut down the entire service until the repair was made.
Bernie apologized to Hillary and to his supporters at the debate. He has asked Hillary to join him in undertaking an independent audit of what went wrong. Such an audit might reveal that Hillary's campaign took advantage of the situation to sneak a peak at Bernie's info. We will see what happens.
Assessment of the 3rd Debate
ABC's Martha Raddatz was woefully inept at hiding her bias in favor of Hillary Clinton. The network awarded Hillary with the privilege of going first in the opening round. And"guess what? Hillary also received the privilege of having the last word in ending the debate. Not only that but Raddatz gave Hillary the opportunity to respond first to at least fourteen questions. Normal practice is to switch back and forth among the candidates.
Raddatz kept the discussion focused primarily on foreign policy that is supposed to be Clinton's strong suit. But Bernie called her out on her Libya regime fiasco, chastising her for relying on a policy that has seen one failure after another; he thought that her Syria no-fly zone would be pointless and could end in an imprudent provocation of Russia.
