If it's real... is it real? We would see it. It would just be more distraction regardless.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Probably nothing worth really reporting on I bet. They know better than to put their incriminating shit in an email.
Was there any incriminating shit in Hillary's mails?
Yeah, which is exact why Trump sent her to prison as he promised!
Actually, the DNC email hack was pretty back for democrats. Not cause of anything incriminating, but for proving to the Bernie fans that the DNC really was working against him. This led to many of them not voting, boycott voting, or switching to Trump’s side.

For everyone complaining about these not being published: This is why Wikileaks was a net good.
They can only be a net good if they publish without editorial comment and without discrimination.
But that also runs the risk of becoming the world clearinghouse for faked documents and such.
I mean, that would make them...just good, no, "net," qualifier necessary. Before they (for all intents and purposes) shut down, they had developed an anti-U.S. bias, and that sucks (though I guess it's understandable when your founder has been pursued by U.S. government for a decade), but the amount of information we got out of them was a net positive for the world.
Also, we're literally seeing the results of not having an organization like them right now. In 2016, we had an organization that would publish leaked campaign emails. In 2024, we don't.
