    They said they want to sell them. We may never see them.

    It's a digital file, if they were smart they would sell it as many times as possible, in a short of space of time as possible, then leak it anyway. Unless they can get a really good blackmail deal out of it, then probably sell it anyway

    For sure, lots of stuff can happen. I guess I was just tempering my expectations. Iran probably wants to use it. If it can destabilize the US then I'm sure they will release it, but if they get more from it from keeping it hidden, I would bet they do that.

    This group is trying to make money. IMHO see how much they can get then dump it all.

    Edit: they're suspected of being Iranian. Not that I think this regime could spell the word attribution but if they are this is political capital.

    There are too many headlines where the first half is exciting.

    Yeah? And?

    Nothing will happen. He's a dictator, surrounded by loyalists and with a secret police.

    If a hacker can do it, you can damn well bet multiple nation-states are just chilling in the systems slurping everything up.

    What could they possiply contain that may harm him and we've not heard yet?

    He's an idiot? Corruption? Sexual assault? Dictator's dreams? Nazi ideas?

    At this stage, there is nothing that could deterr his cult, and he already doesn't care about his perception out of the cult.

    Two situations tank a politician:

    "During a successful election campaign for governor in 1983, he boasted, "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.""

    Someone should setup a Gofundme so We The People can pay the hackers to release the goodies. Criminals though they are, they're probably less terrible human beings than the orange utan in the White House or any of his henchmen. I'd pitch in...

    I wish but these groups almost never release the information. They get paid or caught. :(

    It doesn’t matter what they find or stole from his emails. They could have videos, photos and testimony directly from Trump at Epstein Island and his supporters would still say it is taken out of contact and still vote for him.
