There are so many dirty things coming out about Clinton every day, it's hard to keep track. In a normal campaign cycle this would be huge news.

It depends if the Clinton campaign encouraged her or ignored her. It changes it a lot for me how Clinton actually responded to the emails. Those questions seemed kinda obvious so it doesn’t look like it would’ve made any difference in the campaign but if she was actively trying to cheat then it’s a big deal to me. It bothers me that the article doesn’t really give context to the situation.

  Well, she was appointed as interim chair of the DNC right after, so I would say it wasn't exactly frowned upon.

  Read Wikileaks on this. The emails are DKIM validated, so the charges of modification are bogus (and I think they stopped floating that one). Yes, it's hard to put it all into context, but there are several emails that give debate questions before the debates. You're right that there was no good reason to cheat, but I've read the emails myself long before this article and they're damning on that point.

    Ya, my main problem is I feel like I'm just being manipulated this election. Hillary supporters try to convince me that Trump is the devil and Trump supporters are trying to convince me that all Hillary has ever done is scheme against the American people

      To some extent, they're both right. Podesta's emails definitely show a lot of rotten things, loads of scheming, backstabbing everyone (especially Bernie). Nobody trusts each other and for very good reason. The scandals are bad, but one of the things I find the worst is just how much they hate each other and the honest truth that they appear to spend all their time backstabbing. They've faked a ton of stories as well. As for Trump, well, you know.
