I don't know if the Wikileaks leaks are good or bad - if Hillary had said she opposed TPP on Investor State Dispute Settlement and because of weaknesses in the Korean trade deal, either we wouldn't have believed her or would have just ignored it. How do we know? Because she did say that & that's how the public and media responded.
It's a pain to have the Wikileaks emails dripping out now, but overall it's largely like Manning's leaks - more good + inconvenience than actual harm. I still don't think it's fair for 1 side in an election to be outed piece by piece including their internal strategy and normal debates. But it's turning into a good free campaign advertisement. Even millennials seem to have taken notice. More cowbell.

At this point it would seem safe to say that no one should send emails that they would not want widely spread......at the click of some hackers mouse.
Phone calls/conference calls seem better for difficult, classified or controversial government topics/discussions. Some records might be best kept on paper....?

This whole wikileaks crap is nonsense. Let's look at the most damning statement, that Hillary supports a North American union with open borders between Canada and Mexico. Even if Hillary gets a democratic senate and house, which is unlikely, she'll have trouble getting a small infrastructure bill passed and some minor fixes for the ACA. And then, only if the democratic senate ends the filibuster rule. A snowball has a better chance surviving in hell than anyone in Washington considering a North American union.
If she said it at all she was just engaging in some pie in the sky dreaming. I'd expect the next paragraph to talk about the NA union joining with the EU and expanding to include South America and Africa. Eventually the Middle East, China, and Russia would join which at this point is a one world government and peace on Earth. With no more war no nation would spend any money on the military. That money would be diverted to buy every child a computer and all the tofu they could eat since we wouldn't kill any animals any more. The UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights would be changed to the UN Declaration on Species Rights. And the lion will lie down with the lamb

Good point. Didn't see that one......also news - some employee of State argued about the classification of ONE email......of 30,000, and some FBI grunt floated a QUID PRO QUO.....and....nothing happened..PROVES CROOKED Hillary should go to prison right? Quid pro quo is bad stuff..? Even if it died immediately....
Hillary of course directed every action, word muttered, movement and job of every employee every day.....even in the FBI...
