there appears to be yet another IT guy

Nathaniel Goss Pearlman has a degree in Computer Science from Yale (1988). He worked for Election Data Services on legislative redistricting (1991). He attended the doctoral program in Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1992 to 1996, but did not write a dissertation. He started NGP Software, Inc. in 1997, a fast-growing partisan political software firm.

In 2004, Pearlman was named a Rising Star in American Politics by Campaigns and Elections Magazine.

In 2008, Pearlman served as Chief Technology Officer for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

In 2009, he founded Timeplots, a niche info art enterprise.

Former Clinton employee owns company at center of campaign data scandal

While working for Clinton, Pearlman managed controversial Clinton’s email server administrator Bryan Pagliano. In hearings about Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State Pagliano has refused to testify before the House Benghazi Committee, asserting his Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination.

Pearlman has stayed close to Clinton since her last presidential bid. Graphicacy, Pearlman's graphic design firm serves Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's think tank The Center for American Progress.

When a lapse in computer security allowed at least one member of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign team to peek over the fence of a shared Democratic National Committee(DNC) voter database system and get a glimpse of confidential Clinton campaign data, a former top Hillary Clinton employee's software company was administering the database system.

"a lapse in computer security allowed at least one member of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign team" refer to the guy Team Hillary sent them?

Interesting context if yes.

It will be interesting to see if and how DOJ fights the judges order.
