    At the weekly Democratic Congressional briefing, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi slammed members of the media for reporting leaks that were "embarrassing to the Clinton campaign."

    "You knew it was the Russians," she said to the members of the media gathered in the Capitol.


    NANCY PELOSI: I really say to you, my friends in the press, with all due respect for the guardians of the First Amendment that you are, that you were accomplices in this.
    It was every single day you reported that there was an email that was embarrassing to the Clinton [campaign] without saying, ‘We know this because of disruption by a foreign power into our electoral system.'
    You knew that. You knew it was the Russians. And so did it affect the Clinton campaign? Of course, it did. Would it have come out differently? I don’t know, because there are many factors in an election.​

    Eh, she has a weak argument. The media had speculation it was the Russians at that point, and what are they gonna do, not report it and sit on this? Sure they could've moved on to more pressing matters but the DNC and GOP know that media is gonna latch on and work as little as possible so why not just come up w/a better counter strategy?

    Besides, CNN and MSNBC went out of their way to avoid reporting on the email leaks until it was such a big deal, and when they finally did report on it they kept reminding us we had this because of illegal hacking. CNN even went so far as to suggest you could be breaking the law by reading hacked emails.

    More blame shifting from the Idiot by the Bay.
     
  4. The "problem" apparently never was what Hellary did.... but rather that her actions were made public.... and in doing so, the facts (which the Dems wanted so desperately to remain hidden) harmed her election chances.... AS THEY SHOULD HAVE!

    IOW... To Hell with the crimes and corruption... "Shoot the messenger".

    The FBI/defense agencies will not hire you if you admit to reading content off wikileaks (to make that clear). I think it's considered a offense of some sort (don't know if misdemeanor or higher).

    So I assume several hundred million people are about to be arrested/charged?

    Do they all work for the government? By several hundred million, do you mean world wide (because US only has jurisdiction in its borders).

    Hyperbole to illustrate there were tens of millions of people in this country alone that read stuff that came from the Wikileaks hack of the DNC.

    You can believe that all you want, just as I believe Americans are generally lazy and most likely formed their opinions off some slam piece on facebook based on infowars' or breitbart's interpretation of the emails.

    Are your referring to a classified documents policy?

    I am not sure that same concept would apply to podesta's and the dnc's emails.
