On the Firewall Issue: Sanders Campaign told the Truth

Now, four months later, an independent investigation of the firewall failures in the DNC’s shared voter file database has definitively confirmed that the original claims by the DNC and the Clinton campaign were wholly inaccurate – the Sanders campaign never “stole” any voter file data; the Sanders campaign never “exported” any unauthorized voter file data; and the Sanders campaign certainly never had access to the Clinton campaign’s “strategic road map.”

In fact, the independent investigation has confirmed what the Sanders campaign said from the start:

* The DNC’s security failures allowed four Sanders campaign staffers – three junior-level staffers led by a manager who had been hired at the recommendation of the DNC and who was immediately terminated after the incident – to have extremely short-lived access for one hour to Hillary for America’s scoring models, but not to any of Hillary for America’s proprietary voter data.
* No one else in the Sanders campaign, outside these four staffers, accessed the Hillary for America’s scoring models or had knowledge that the activity was taking place until well after the incident was over.
* With one exception, all unauthorized access took place within the DNC’s own system. While there is evidence that the terminated staffer may have exported a summary data table, the independent investigation of Sanders campaign computers could not locate that file and no one in the Sanders campaign has ever seen that file.

there was no investigation (independent or not) into whether the Clinton campaign might have accessed Sanders campaign info during one of the several "wall" failures?

is in direct conflict with the DNC press release.

I read them both. They are NOT! The only thing the DNC press release does is goes into more detail of what was looked at in that hour BUT also comes to the same conclusion that Hillary for America’s proprietary voter data was not violated.

Be ready. I just got into it with someone on twitter.
I showed her the facts, how both press releases are the same and she kept saying nananana I can't hear you. Typical head in the sand behavior that we all know so well.
