I wish the reporters covering all these hacked email stories

would make the point that the reason these emails are all coming from people like John Podesta is because they were using either commercial accounts like gmail or the official .gov email accounts -- which we knew to have been the subject of massive hacks well before the hacked-email-dumpings started to occur.

None of these hacked emails came from Hillary's private server.

That they think is scandalous even if she didn't write it?

mixed in with thousands of non-altered ones.

The closer to the election, the more likely they'll try to slip in some fakes.

Wikileaks has already been proven to have done that, in other leaks.

No, none of them did.

ALSO:

"It could also be a fraudulent or an altered email"

The above and bolded, all day LONG.

I don't trust ANYTHING coming from Putin besties rapist Assange or from sexual assaulting predator tRump.

I've been wondering how is it the Hillary used a separate server that was never breached, but the gubmint's servers are like sieves.

were hacked -- but no proof of any successful hack of Hillary's server.

But this proves another point -- that using a commercial server, like gmail or AOL (as Colin Powell did) wouldn't have been any safer than Hillary's private one -- as some have claimed.
