2. Imagine if they did.

If they did it would be a disaster. I've tried not to read about it a lot bc I don't want to know what's in someone private emails. None of my business

You know their private e-mails would be out of this world.

6. Timing

Trump needs to stop the bleeding and turn things around. Anything extra taken from Trump's emails, etc. would just be lost in the flood of bad news.

If Anonymous has something confirming the latest sleaze or something new, waiting closer to the election could drive a stake through his burnt orange heart.

7. Because Wikileaks doesn't hack?

Unless I'm mistaken, hackers furnish them with data, which they in turn publish.

The absence of dirt on Trump, I imagine, is due to a lack of interest from organized, state-sponsored hackers.

8. Wikileaks isn't hacking the Trump or Clinton campaign. Russia is giving the documents to Wikileaks.

I actually do wonder if Wikileaks would release Trump campaign e-mails if they had them. I'm inclined to think that they would. Wikileaks is just the "useful idiot" that Russia uses so that it's harder to trace back to them.

13. Correct... they just dump the information provided...

questions are: (1) who is providing the alleged Clinton information; and (2) is Wikileaks also receiving tRump information and not dumping it?

Is Wikileaks an equal opportunity dumper, or does Assange have his own one-sided agenda?
