I’m surprised these Democrats are so upset about relatively low value emails that might embarrass a few pols being made public and didn’t see anything wrong with the US Secretary of State using an unsecured private email server to conduct the official business of the United States. I would think these really smart Russian agents would spend a lot more time mining Hillary’s server for useful material rather than the musing of some local Florida wannabe Congresswoman.
Most of the really damaging stuff was retrieved from phishing John Podesta computer which he had secured with the cryptic password, “password”. If the Russian’s found hacking the DNC this easy I’m sure the Chinese got even more useful stuff that we will never know about because, unlike the Russians geniuses, apparently they weren’t stupid enough to give it to Wikileaks and render the intelligence value worthless.
That is actually another bit of evidence that calls into question the whole story of Russian government operatives releasing the DNC emails. The Russian cyber operatives are at least as smart as their competitors around the world.
It seems more likely WikiLeaks received the emails from a "leaker" from within the DNC.
