    That’s one difference, but the timing is another difference. Hillary’s emails were reported on quickly and extensively, yet these leaks were suppressed for 3 weeks. It’s not like those news outlets reported that they had information, and didn’t provide details, but rather they reported nothing at all.

    But the whole thing is bizarre. If someone actually wanted to get information out there, they wouldn’t have gone to those news outlets. There are other newspapers that would have actually published stories. So I’m not sure what to make of the thing.

      Let’s not forget that both the DNC and RNC were hacked in 2016, but only DNC material was leaked.

      Totally a coincidence that trump campaign gets hacked and that data is not released again.
