I think it's circumstantial evidence that people have gathered. Julian Assange's associate who met with the leaker mentioned he was a bernie bro. Seth had access to the database and people are speculating he worked with someone else. The theory right now is he lowered the firewall and his partner hacked the files. I still need to read more but that's my understanding at the moment.
The lowered the firewall bit is wrong and I think almost deceptively so.
The reason I say deceptive is if you remember the incident it involved access to the voter information, no the DNC emails and when this happened it was because of a bug in the software, not because the firewall was turned off. The DNC does not create the software. A third party company called NGP VAN does. The issue was both campaign gather voter data that is highly useful is identifying a Clinton voter from a Sanders voter. Both campaigns also have access to previously gather DNC data. During the primaries Clinton team is not supposed to see the data gather by the Sanders team and vice versa. The software has a filter that prevents this. They did a software update where this filter wasn't working and they fixed with within two hours. Then the looked at the logs and the logs showed that the Sanders data guy went and started exporing list after list of state data
So nothing about this involved emails. Nothing about this involved a lowered firewall.
They also seem to think Seth Rich recommended the guy who exploited this bug to steal Clinton's data to the Sanders team, but that seems wrong to me. Rich was not the National Director of Data, he was in a lower position. He dealt with data, but the language used almost certainly points to an older, more senior member.
What's your source on this?

I don't see any of his posts that suggest he was the leaker.
Where's the goods?
