Let's assume that there is an email that looks bad for the campaign.
The email was slightly altered to make it look a bit worse.
Do they admit to writing the slightly less awful email, prolonging the coverage and erasing all doubt that they wrote it?
- will4274 9y agoYES! Obviously! Because if the campaign could show that a single email was altered, it casts doubt on the entire set. Many people would immediately jump to the conclusion that many emails were altered and disregard the story entirely.
- learc83 9y agoThe AP is confident that one of the documents from podesta's inbox was altered. Yet the campaign never came forward to authenticate the original document. So we have a clear case of altered email, but campaign didn't authenticate original. It's a political calculation. You may have done it differently, but it's pretty clear we have at least 1 case of it happening.
