Everyone by now has heard about the Sanders campaign’s temporarily getting access to confidential voter data held for the Clinton campaign by the DNC.

The Sanders campaign’s apparent official position, as articulated by Jeff Weaver, the manager for the Vermont portion of Bernie’s campaign, to the Washington Post, is that the DNC is at fault for having bad IT people/software/etc.  (The unofficial stance, as we've seen in conspiracy-happy pronouncements throughout such places as the Post’s notoriously unfiltered comments section and in various diaries right here at Daily Kos, seems to be yet another Dolchstosslegende, in this case holding that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is an evil mastermind who plotted this just to have a pretext for backstabbing the noble and stainless Bernie.  The less said about this, the better.)

But if it really was all the DNC’s fault (and not at all the Sanders’ campaign’s) for leaving the barn door open a crack for a few hours — long enough for the Sanders staff to access a fair number of livestock and get a warning from Farmer DNC to return or destroy their ill-gotten gains — then why did the Sanders campaign fire at least one of their staffers over it?

Inquiring minds want to know!
