I am not exonerating the Sanders' employees. I don't know what their motives were. I don't believe Sanders authorized a breach.

Sanders has gone without that kind of scandal all his life, despite being in politics. I refuse to believe he acquired a new persona this past summer or fall, while running for President.

I've seen some of the posts calling him a criminal and claiming he's been one all his life and I have no words to express how much contempt I feel for that jaw-dropping degree of intentional spin and dishonesty. If I could get a virtual dog to virtual poop on those posts, I would.

Did Sanders' staffers just get over zealous about improving their boss's shot at winning the primary or did someone get to them? I've sometimes gotten so zealous about people I work for that I have to pull myself up short fast if unethical options cross my mind , so I understand that and see it as a real possibiilty. However, corruption of many kinds are not unknown in political circles, either. I don't favor one of my theories over the other.
