Can You Imagine If E-mails of Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Kellyanne Conway...

...and Paul Manafort were hacked and leaked?

The MSM has been happily playing the role of Russian propaganda arm by running Trump talking points pieces based on unverified e-mails that were hacked by the Russians. Yet, the disclosures have all been relatively tame despite the efforts to sensationalize certain e-mails as evidence of wrong doing. The most notable example being the current out of context statement about Hillary's "instincts."

However, given some of the crazy crap that Trump campaign surrogates have been saying publicly can you imagine if their e-mails were hacked and we got to see what Trump's surrogates said in private. Heck, just look at Breitbart, and it is pretty outrageous as it is.

For example, here is Kellyanne Conway calling Trump a whiner regarding his complaints about election rigging during the GOP primaries. Can you imagine what she and other surrogates say about Trump and each other in private?

Kellyanne Conway did not have the day off on Sunday, and so Donald Trump’s campaign manager was called into surrogate duty on this morning’s edition of CNN’s “State of the Union.”

CONWAY, on video clip: We hear from the Trump campaign, rules ... the rules change, it’s not fair, the system’s rigged, the system’s corrupt. He can whine and complain all he wants that he didn’t know the rules.

TAPPER: Is this a pattern with Mr. Trump? If he starts losing, he starts lashing out and calling the system corrupt and calling it rigged?

CONWAY: We love watching that clip together. But that was actually about what was happening on the weekends. When Donald Trump would win the vote, he would basically win all the electoral votes in a state, and on the weekends, the Cruz campaign would go back and follow the rules and get back some of those delegates. So no, it’s not a pattern for him.
