You remember incorrectly. It was a server used by two of the most prominent GOP Senators not a "years-old personal outlook" from a "single RNC dude". Per the NYT[1] >Federal investigators, speaking on background, have said that a single email server used by that contractor had been penetrated. But it was going out of service, and contained outdated material that the Russians probably found of little value. People with direct knowledge of the server’s contents said it had been used by Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain. Maybe nothing of value was on that server. The general public has no way of knowing because the data was never leaked. And even if the emails themselves didn't provide any incriminating information, I think controversies like pizzagate have shown that even leaks of mundane data can have political repercussions.
