>To;dr if press did job no need for wikileaks Yeah the Guardian and New York Times really missed the boat not hacking John Podesta's email so we could learn how to make the perfect risotto. Or doxxing thousands of innocent Turkish citizens in a cache of "Government emails" that wasn't Government emails at all but hundreds of thousand of public forum posts, less than three hundred of which had government addresses. Transparency is important and good. Good, hard hitting journalism is more vital and necessary than ever. Julian Assange and Wikileaks are not journalists and not filling any civic void, just Assange's megalomaniacal need for attention as an information broker of other people's secrets.

There are literally dozens of scandal-level revelations in those documents. The fact that you're too lazy to find out about them doesn't change that. Try reading non-US-propaganda once in a while.

Your head is in the sand if you think risotto is the only thing revealed by the Podesta leaks.

  I haven't read them all (there are thousands) but the emails I have read are mostly benign and reveal things about her and her team that perhaps while embarrassing or even impolitic, are hardly criminal.

    Top Clinton aide Doug Band signals his concern over Bill Clinton's conflicts of interest https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/21978 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/21978 “I signed a conflict of interest policy as a board member of cgi ... Oddly, wjc does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home etc.” Do you think conflicts of interest at the highest peaks of federal government are "benign" and "hardly criminal"? This is just one example of really shady stuff revealed in the leaks. IMO the Clinton Foundation sells political influence and that's illegal.
