Has anyone responded to any of the prior or recent releases?
What has bernie said about all of this if anything ?
There's nothing for him to say because the emails don't actually show what they're being reported as showing. I was a little annoyed when I read these and realized how far off the story is from what these emails are. Almost all of them are regarding media requests, and took place in the middle of May. The people who are reporting on this wrote very, very irresponsible headlines (not that that's really a surprise). I don't know how anyone could possibly be surprised that comm. staff at the DNC could be annoyed at the campaign that Bernie Sanders ran when he repeatedly pulled them into the presidential campaign as an excuse for his troubles. They've got a right to be annoyed by him.
If a media outlet had asked my coworkers and I for our comments on some of these events, and then those emails got leaked, you'd see us commenting in the exact same way because what these people are saying about Sanders' campaign being unprepared, amateurish, and dysfunctional are true, but that wouldn't mean that we were colluding against him, only that we were accurately assessing the race he was involved in.

It took hackers years longer to get into the government servers, so yeah, it's beyond "likely." Haven't you already been put into your place regarding server security? You not learn your lesson?
No? I mean the answer isn't going to change because the truth isn't going to get any less true; it isn't an assessment of Clinton's security but of our government's. The State Department was compromised, we don't have any evidence that Clinton's server was. We have debunked Republican conspiracy theories and now-rescinded lies that claim it was but that's no use to anybody. Conjecture is worthless. We have a serious problem when it comes to the "grounding" of classified information.
