    Sure, there’s overlap. Democratic orgs often share staff, money, and office space—it’s a dense web. But none of that makes McGowan responsible for the app’s failure, nor does it suggest any connection between her relationship with Murphy and the breakdown of a software development process. It’s innuendo, not evidence.

    Hostility to Bernie, if true, has no bearing on code quality. Nor does a relationship with the Buttigieg or Biden campaigns.

    And as a developer, I can tell you: it’s much harder to sabotage an app in a specific way than it is to simply build one that works. If there’s a conspiracy here, it’s hiding behind a wall of very ordinary technical incompetence.
