I am not interested in STOLEN email from either side.

Maybe the media can stop sucking Vladimir Putin off in front of God and everybody?

I am blown away at how many people applaud espionage against an American. oh, that's right, it's a Clinton, so...

1. I'm sorry, I can't agree

I really haven't been following the Clinton email so much, but the Pentagon Papers were stolen, the data from Snowden was stolen, the material from Chelsea Manning was stolen. I think transparency is almost always good and the public can decide whether it is relevant or not. I am inferring that is what you are doing with Clinton's emails (that it isn't relevant) but I think in the long run it is better to let the public and voters decide.

3. Well, when they get "your" personal emails, they will just be for the public good?

Transparency and all that. Because we so needed to read Leslie Jones' personal emails, just to make sure she was being transparent. We should also have all the personal emails of the Trump accusers just to make sure that are being transparent with the public you know, let the voters decide. What is it about private and personal that is so hard to understand.

11. Where is the public good in my emails?

John Podesta and the Clintons are public figures running for high office.

2. Exactly

I hope that every media outlet that spread thess around is made to answer for it.

4. Imagine the outrage against Russia if these had been Bernie's emails.

5. I agree. I don't want to read illegally obtained emails from either side

I haven't read any of the emails or articles about the emails.

6. Private emails don't equate to official documents. Most would CRINGE to think of ours made public..

WITHOUT CONTEXT and allowing our worst detractors the opportunity to make of them as they wish.

I can agree that whistle blowers have an important role in our democracy, but that is NOT what I'm seeing currently. What exactly have we learned that we didn't already suspect with respect to the Clinton camp, whether rightly or wrongly? Not damned much, IMO.

9. I agree, though can you IMAGINE what would be in the Republican emails ???

10. Mail is mail.

Whether it is electronic or hand delivered.
Try robbing a mail truck and see what happens to you.

12. Hacked

From Russia nonetheless. So what would have stopped them from altering the emails? They are meaningless they should not be used for news. Infact spreading propaganda from Russia should be illegal. Assange is no hero, he should stand trial. But maybe that is why he is supporting Trump they are both perverse.

14. Welcome to DU...

and correct- if they can hack them, they can alter them.

[Bear Creek]

15. Thanks

Trumpeters are deplorable they have been talking about this all day I don't think they would like it if it was reversed.

13. There should be a severe reckoning after the election

Those that stole and distributed the emails should have the book thrown at them.
