Do you really think we would have heard about this if Clinton had done this? Would the DNC be that stupid given HRC's email issues? I doubt it and my guess is that if this did get out, the DNC would have taken the fall, not Hillary.
To be honest, I think HRC is getting a bum rap for a lot of scandals. Benghazi makes me so mad. Her State Dept email issue did shock me because it was so careless, but it didn't turn me negative on her. So, yes, I think I would have stuck up for her if the roles were reversed. What bothers me is that I think this is a small issue that should have been dealt with in-house. I think the reason it was leaked to the Post was to hurt Bernie. I think the punishment of continuing to withhold the data is overkill. I think the DNC should acknowledge their mistakes. I think Bernie should have fire the appropriate people and he has/will.
These were actions by a high-level campaign official and three other staff, PP. The DNC didn't force Bernie's staff to access and save Hillary's campaign data.
I'm sure the DNC will restore access rapidly once the campaign demonstrates that they no longer have the data. I'm not sure why Bernie didn't just do that instead of suing the DNC.
The Sanders campaign has a different take on this completely, and they are filing suit against the DNC. About time somebody held the DNC accountable over something. Totally rotten org.
