I just can't buy " overzealous".

It's too early to use the word "they". So far only one staffer has been identified and he's been fired.
And I'm absolutely certain that the campaign new something like this would blow up. That's why I'm pretty sure this was unauthorized.
The only way this could make the Clinton campaign look bad would be if it were established that the Clinton campaign snagged Sanders' data in October and that the DNC knew it and did nothing. But, if this was the plan, the Sanders campaign could have done this without getting caught with their own hand in the cookie jar. And that would make them look good by comparison rather than guilty of the same thing and merely the victim of unfair treatment from the DNC.
(I think it's entirely possible that the DNC turned a blind eye to Clinton campaign misdeeds but I don't see it coming to light. Wasserman Schultz is a Clinton partisan. She was Clinton's Florida Campaign Chair in 2008.)
