    I mean, what exactly would an email dump accomplish? Hard to embarrass these guys in any way that matters. They just keep plugging on, doing crimes and ruining lives, while sending their goon squads to rough up any news reporter who asks a difficult question at a press briefing.

    The fact that this is "Iran" implicated in the data dump only gives the bigger media outlets one more excuse to ignore the release and freeze out anyone involved in its distribution.

    It's one step. It's incremental. He does have a cult of personality, which complicates things.

    Assange is aware, he helped Trump after all.

    By specifically targeting only Hillary Clinton for then2016 election, in collaboration with Russia having worked for RT before going to the Ecuadorian embassy, corroborated by the Ecuadorian president....

    But if you want to pretend none of this happened, go for it.

    By specifically targeting only Hillary Clinton

    That's categorically untrue.

    The 2015/2016 leaks indicated dozens of elected and appointed officials, apparatchiks, and major donors across parties both in the US and UK.

    That's not even including the reporting done in combat zones and torture blacksites released during the same time.

    The fact that Hillary repeated defended her corrupt fellow partisans and criminal state-level co-conspirators was what dragged her into the center of the shit storm.

    in collaboration with Russia having worked for RT

    CIA agent calmly explaining why you should never trust information you get from a spook.

    Weak sauce.

    I can understand cheering for this to be released as we can imagine that these fascists would suffer some sort of consequence or comeuppance.

    But let's not kid ourselves, they control the media and they're immune to the sort of legal consequences that could come from any sort of exposé. He's already a fascist doing fascist things!

    I just wished that we realized that if we want them to suffer the consequences of being fascists, we have to do it ourselves and not by staying behind a screen.

    There is basically nothing that could be contained within such emails that would change almost anyone's mind about Trump that hasn't already come to some kind of conclusion about him. The only thing is might do it reveal some kind of technical non-moral weak spot.

    So? It's not like it would change anything.

  • Can any of it be used to start a court case somewhere he doesn't own? That's the only thing that matters now. Indict him or shut up.
