Three news outlets were recently leaked confidential material from inside the Trump campaign, but have chosen not to reveal any of the details about what they received.
Bigger question to me is why haven’t the hackers just uploaded the details to like pastebin or some other neutral data upload site ? That seems to have been what was done in the past and in turn given the media free reign to share the info
Someone has to publish and put it into the public domain like Wikileaks did. Of course, at that point they will be liable and be charged with using stolen material and sued. But, hey, take one for the team.
“First amendment”… ? So you think it’s fine to release information you know will lead to murder of innocent people, are warned repeatedly, you do it anyway, and that’s all fine.
And this is to say nothing of the women who credibly claim he raped them.
And this is where you’re supposed to link to a specific instance of anyone who got murdered due to the leaks, because that didn’t happen, he redacted the files to avoid this.
As for the ghosting charge, I agree he should’ve stood trial in Sweden for that.
Why are you so confident you know what happened? It’s incalculable what exact consequences there were, but many people who worked with him testified in a documentary that he was warned many times innocent people would die and he emphatically did not care
I mean in the past hackers posted a lot of data online without getting caught…like the Ashley Madison hack for example. You don’t have to use a middleman journalist to post it
There is a difference between a “leak” and a “hack”… I think in this case, they say “leak” because it was someone from Trump’s team who released the info… maybe they don’t feel they can secure their anonymity if they post it directly online

so what’s stopping “someone”? there are infinity minus one randos on the internet willing to host juicy hot leaks for whatever ulterior motives.
What happened to Julian Assange is what’s stopping someone. And he wasn’t even in the US.
Julian assange got off Scot free in the end
He spent over a decade imprisoned and pled guilty to something that’s clearly first amendment protected activity, I wouldn’t call that Scot free.

So, like Assange in the early days and not the unkempt vagrant we see at the end.
