So in a week of PutinLeaks releases of private emails, what we've learned is

that Clinton has intelligent, professional people around her, running a well-coordinated campaign.

And that her paid speeches were very intelligent and insightful.

3. Indeed. I don't see why people are getting so worked up about WikiLeaks.

The Bush Admin dumps were far more damning.

All this shit on Clinton and the Democratic Party is just mildly embarrassing at best. Nothing that really threatens her election chances, even if that was the Russians' intentions in feeding that info to Wikileaks in the first place.

I, for one, hope Assange sticks around, so that (heaven forbid) the R's ever re-assume power, there is someone out there speaking "truth to power", holding those in charge accountable for their actions.

Part of the burden of being the party in power is that your actions are going to garner more scrutiny. That should be expected. But whatever "corruption" issues have been brought to light against the Democratic Party pales in comparison to what dirt is surely out there on the other side. Just waiting for the right "leaker" to spill the beans when the time is right.

these emails could be creations of Putin's peons. Assange doesn't care if these emails are legit or not. There really is no way to know/prove that these are legitimate, not modified or total fakes.

M$M types are always glad to have something to talk about, esp if it can be spun to be damaging to Clinton. THey are complete whores to the GOP.

this are the only ones who will understand . The others hear 10000 emails released, more Hillary emails EXPOSED, thousands of Hillary's hacked emails released all assume they are another smoking gun even though they have no idea what they are about. The MSM and Fox have made it so.

is the stuff about her planning to run for President forever; but somehow knowing her goal, she made all kinds of shifty moves and pay for play along the way. My belief, knowing that she wants to be President, is that she was extra careful NOT to have any thing going on behind the scenes. That stuff always comes out in the end. She knows everything she does, has done, will do, will be examined over and over. She knows that the vultures and hyenas are on her heels.

Another comment I love is "Hillary Clinton is a political animal"... Duh, yeah!!!!
