Oh, so it wasn't just minor functionaries, after all: It was their National Data Director!

The Sanders campaign fired its national data director, Josh Uretsky, on Friday, and said it was investigating whether to take disciplinary action against any other staffers who may have been involved. The DNC and Clinton’s campaign have said that four separate accounts accessed Clinton’s data.

Though Sanders' campaign has insisted that it did not keep the data its staffers viewed, Time magazine reported Friday that those staffers appear “to have obtained files with lists of voters that the Clinton campaign had cultivated in 10 early states including Iowa and New Hampshire” and that the staffers “created from scratch no fewer than 24 lists -- consisting entirely of data pulled down from the Clinton campaign’s database -- and saved them to their personal folders.”

UPDATE: 6:40 p.m. -- In a press call Friday, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said that the data breech was "egregious" and that the Sanders campaign was misrepresenting what had occurred.

"This was not an inadvertent glimpse into our data and it was not, as the Sanders campaign has described it, a mistake," Mook said. "They have tried to downplay what this means, so I want to be very very clear: This is data that took millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to build. So the voter file is not simply a list of names and contact information."

Alas, it turns out the only real Saint Bernard is a dog that rescues people in the Alps!
