“This may explain why Julian Assange insists there was no “Russian connection” in his acquisition of the now-deleted e-mails from Herself’s server and phones.”
People, we are getting things confused here. Wikileaks published JOHN PODESTA’S emails which were acquired by means of a “phishing” email to John Podesta. Podesta believed this email to be legitimate and revealed his password to his own email account. THIS is how the Podesta emails were ended up being published. Podesta gave them to the “bad guys”!!
