The audit logs from the Sanders campaign seem... extraordinarily bad. They explicitly searched Hillary's data from early primary states for low and high-affinity voters -- a search which is more-or-less useless for anything other than targeting voters which Hillary has written off.
If the Sanders campaign was simply trying to prove that they could get into someone else's namespace, they picked the most suspicious way to do it. The DNC has almost certainly done the right thing by restoring Sanders' access -- it's not the whole campaign's fault -- but both contractor that let this happen and Bernie's entire IT staff should be fired.
Out of a cannon.
Into the sun.

Venkatesh Rao:
1/ Keynes famously asked, "When my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?"
2/ For many people, the answer is, "I restate what I already believe more stridently." In other words, when the facts change, they derp.
9/ In a tribal world of timeless sacred beliefs, where new information is profane by default, to change your mind is to betray your tribe.
10/ Derping is a degenerate form of motivated reasoning, where you don't even bother looking for confirmatory evidence. You just repeat yourself.
17/ To get out of the habit of derping, you can do two things: practice changing your mind in public and practice contingent reasoning.
20/ Contingent reasoning -- working with if-then assertions that have a finite scope rather than absolute, unqualified assertions -- is like insurance against changing facts.
21/ This does not mean slipping into weasel mode where you hem and haw about everything to avoid making decisions or acting.

Sanders goes negative, then changes his mind.
Oh, and the accusation he uses is false.

Even Bloomberg Financial News can see that President Obama's refusal to send ground troops to Syria isn't that bad of a plan. President Putin apparently didn't learn anything from the Russian quagmire in Afghanistan, and is rapidly burning through Russia's now small checkbook. The Ruble is now breaking through its 2014 lows, which was already essentially at the bottom of a cliff. The Ruble has lost half its value since 2014.
