  Finger crossed for some dirt on Hillary.

    (Assuming you are a US citizen from your previous comments) Why are you hoping one of your presidential candidates is corrupt? Shouldn't you be crossing your fingers not to find dirt?

      Some people don't care what it takes to get their guy to win. If she has corrupt dealings, I hope they are exposed, but I don't hope she has corrupt dealings (though many would already say she does).

      Many people have totally lost faith in establishment politicians... our system is constantly exploited by business and even "good" politicians have shady support (through lobbying/superpacs/etc). If a mainstream politician is implicated in this mess, it gives the public concrete evidence to improve the status quo. It's like the Snowden leaks. Many knew about the NSA conspiracies years before his information came out. For all those years the public was blind to their rights slowly slipping away as precedents were set, while those that knew were ignored as paranoid nutters. Now we can see the light. edit: to be clear, I'm not talking about any specific politician here.

      To many people, the sunshine that exposing scandal brings is much needed. Consider the fact that the Church Committee was formed only after Watergate. Many of us know that establishment politicians are utterly compromised. It's similar to the Edward Snowden revelations. We just need proof.

      Many people are already convinced that Hillary is corrupt. When that is the case, finding dirt is a desirable thing. (I don't have strong opinions on the matter, by the way.)

    Don't complain about liberals or democrats; you'll be automatically downvoted here...

Perhaps they don't want the individuals in the initial release to be overshadowed. Everything in good time.
