"A very curious young man." 

Dawkins writes:

This morning, Manuel Miranda, the Republican judiciary committee documents hacker, was on C-SPAN to talk about the issues surrounding his case. A very charming, straightforward man.

Some highlights from the discussion:

Speaking with a straight face (or whatever you care to call the flap of skin that covers the front part of his skull), Miranda refutes the suggestion that he illegally stole the Democratic committee documents, while acknowledging that the Democrats didn't exactly give them to him:

"These documents were on an open server. A server is a tool that serves users. These were documents that were actually given to us by the server."

Miranda comments on the possible motives that drove his accomplice, Jason Lundell, the young GOP aide who served as Miranda's chief hacker, to download thousands of files from the Democratic server onto his hard drive:

"I think he was just a very curious young man."
