14. The DNC & NGP VAN RECOMMENDED Josh Uretsky who was guy who screwed up.

“It’s not as if we conjured this guy Josh from thin air. This is an individual … who was recommended to us by the DNC and NGP VAN," the adviser told Yahoo News.

Sanders fired that employee and there was never any intent to access the data for any nefarious purpose. This was a result of the SECOND firewall breach that was the error of the companies in charge of the data base. The first time it occurred the Sanders campaigned warned the company DNC that the firewall was down.

“Our campaign months ago alerted the DNC to the fact that campaign data was being made available to other campaigns. At that time our campaign did not run to the media, relying instead on assurances from the vendor," Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs told ABC News.

Uretsky shouldn't have accessed the data and he screwed up but Bernie Sanders had NOTHING to do with that poor decision.

This is an employee that the DNC AND the company that ran the data base recommended. This was not someone that was a long time supporter of Bernie. Are we to beleive that an employee the DNC and NGP VAN recommended just a few months earlier is now part of some nefarious plot against them? Seriously?
