As has been pointed out repeatedly, there has been a common charge against DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz: shes in the bag for Hillary. So wouldnt the last thing she would want to do is fuel that narrative?
Seems to me Debbie is doing exactly what the Bernie campaign would expect if the shoe was on the other foot.
Shockingly, though, Bernie Sanders is currently exploiting his campaigns theft of Clintons data for political donations. The fact Bernie is currently fundraising off stealing Hillarys data is proof that if this wasnt a crime, Debbie wouldnt be foolish enough to feed the charge shes in the bag for Hillary because it has only fueled Bernies most loyal supporters.
Unfortunately, the false narrative Bernie is a victim of this situation is being spun by Bernies camp to manipulate his supporters against the evil DNC (even though the Bernie camp is the one that committed the crime in the first place and are now portraying themselves as the victim very clever!). Point is Debbie wouldnt foolishly fuel this narrative if it wasnt for a legitimate reason.
There is simply no other remedy at this point because the Sanders campaign has accessed information they can manipulate with the DNC database. Until an independent investigation can be conducted, all the information is returned, and all 4 users associated with the incident are fired, the punishment should stand.
Granted, the Sanders campaign has done a masterful job of shapeshifting into the victim. Though lets not forget who the real victim is: Hillary Clintons campaign that had both their data and strategy stolen by the Bernie Sanders campaign.

(27,815 posts)... how "poor Debbie" forced the BS campaign to access data they had no right to.
And while you're at it, please explain why BS fired a valuable employee for wrongdoing - if the wrongdoing was on the part of DWS, HRC, the DNC, or anyone else outside of his own campaign.

He is unfit to be POTUS and the party should insure a strong Democrat challenges him in 2018.
If he had any integrity at all he would withdraw from the campaign and resign from the Senate.

Hard to see how this is just a campaign helpfully trying to alert a vendor of a problem. http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-12-18/sanders-campaign-fires-data-director-after-breach-of-clinton-files
