(105 posts)This is nothing more than Watergate 2.0. They can't win in a straight campaign, so they're doing everything they can to destroy the election process.
It's criminal and traitorous.

Doesn't seem smart to keep up with this tactic, but that's why Trump will likely try it anyway.

(4,311 posts)We know they're trying to influence the election, to the degree they've got Trump's campaign manager on the payroll.
I highly doubt anything they release will have any effect on the outcome.

It feels like we're at the mercy of whether the media wants to present that part of it or not. I'm guessing they'll add a super-quick footnote that information may have been altered, but it'll probably be (intentionally) lost on anyone listening.
