I agree Sanders is being unfairly blamed here. There's no evidence his campaign intentionally sought the data. If they did why report it? The only thing done wrong was firing that guy, unless he knew about this earlier and kept it under wraps for awhile. But even then there was no law broken, this is as illegal as accessing someone else's email they foolishly leave open on a public computer.

Also absurd for the DNC to scapegoat Sanders instead of the idiot coders they hired. At most they should suspend his campaign's access until the glitch is fixed. That shouldn't take more than 24 hours. The Sanders campaign should not be blamed for bad coding from someone the DNC hired.

Right but I don't believe there was any intentional attempt to access the data here. If the guy copied it he should be fired but he still didn't break any laws and there's no reason to keep the Sanders campaign's access suspended after correcting the error.
