Yeah, Bernie did more good for the DNC in general, and Clinton specifically, than he did good for himself with that comment about the email focus.
But, he strikes me as a very deliberate man. I believe he knew what he was doing and felt it was the right thing.
I don't think it hurt Bernie much, if any, though. In my opinion, nobody who puts a lot of stock in Bernie's opinion will jump his ship and board Hillary's because of it, and it probably didn't push undecided voters towards Hillary.
For me, Bernie's condemnation of the email hyper focus mostly benefitted the DNC and Hillary in terms of helping to legitimatize Clinton's claims in regards to the Republicans' motives, and in helping Clinton continue to change the narrative in her favor as she prepares to testify before the House Committee on Benghazi next week.
Clinton/Sanders would be a very interesting ticket, no doubt.
