(135,425 posts)You're trying to play the "two wrongs make a right" game and that doesn't cut it.
"The Devil Made Me Do It" only worked on the Flip Wilson show.
This is not about a vendor, this is not about the DNC. It's about a guy who went into a database, stole shit, had subordinates steal shit, and then he LIED to his bosses about what he did. When the DNC shut down the system, preserved his footprints, made copies so they could study it, and then told Sanders what happened, Sanders agreed to give them the affidavits they sought AND fired the jerk who made this mess for him.
I'm pretty sure Sanders is furious. Still. He can't be happy to have had to fire three people, and probably give a talking to to his comm director and COS. And there may be more firings ahead.
Further, if he continues with his lawsuit (his access was not terminated, it was suspended so they could copy everything) he can expect his former staffers to be charged with computer crimes. Will they take the fall and do the time? Or will they cough up names of higher ups and insist they were only following orders?
