What's really troubling to me isn't so much that these guys send each other emails asking for favors. I am a lowly engineer and I have been asked if I would consider hiring someone who is just finish school. That's just human nature, people will ask for shit. They will take care of their own when they can and if there is no push back. What troubles me the most is that these emails were hacked by a foreign government are slowly being trickled out and are having a massive impact in our election. This should concern every single person living in the US. I don't know but to me the dirtiest thing about all of this is how these emails were obtained and who is leaking them. I just can't get over that fact. That should concern republicans and democrats. Their content is something I can overlook at this point because my mind keeps going back to who obtained them and for what reason.

Right, corruption is not a problem as long as it stays secret? And they keep telling us "if you got nothing to hide..." WTF?! Who cares where the truth comes from. Shooting the messenger is old as the hills if its something you don't like. I hope every one hacks everyone else and get all their shit public. The the people of all nations see the crap their leaders and the elite have gotten away with..

That's not in the least clear, the foreign government part. Their InfoSec was so poor we're pretty sure many foreign governments and private actors gained access to significant parts of this data, although I suppose we only know of one to Podesta's GMail account. But the spear plishing that's though to have captured his credentials certainly didn't take a nation state to pull off. Plus wasn't his password trivial?

there's no indication of foreign government involvement thus I am inclined to believe it was more likely someone on the inside trying to expose corruption, get revenge, or both
