Vans was negligent in their security. The DNC was negligent in not removing the vendor or rectifying the situation when they were notified of it 2 months ago. On the surface it appears Sanders has sufficient cause for a court case.

The fired IT person was on MSNBC and admitted that he downloaded propriertary information http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/josh-uretsky-clinton-data-breach

I would absolutely risk a lawsuit when there is so much on the line. And Sander's attorneys have already weighed the risks and made that decision. It is highly likely that the deposition of others in this mess will expose more than Van's, DWS or Clinton were ever expecting. They all would be making a stupid decision to not settle this matter immediately with the Sander's campaign.

never have been in existence.

So I really don't think you have anyone's best interest in mind except for Hillary's. But have a lovely evening anyways.

data, that's why they are asking for a full investigation.

AP just released a tweet saying a lawsuit has been filed.

I believe DWS has forced them into court. Remember that Sanders was getting almost no coverage in the media until today when the DNC virtually called him crooked. And then the media spent the whole day repeating it. Now the media will have to cover the court case and people will learn about the DNCs actions and that the Sanders campaign had already fired the guy involved even though he may only have been attempting to point out a security flaw. Failure to go to court would mean that the biggest media day of his campaign would have been about accusations of wrong-doing with no counterclaim. I'm hoping for a good outcome but the DNC forced this.
