Some news organizations, including The Intercept, have devoted substantial resources to reporting on the newsworthy aspects of the archive of emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that was published last week by WikiLeaks. Numerous documents from that archive have shed considerable light on the thought processes and previously secret behavior of top Clinton campaign aides and often the candidate herself. While the significance of particular stories has been debated, there is no denying that many of those disclosures offer a valuable glimpse into campaign operatives who currently exercise great political power and who, as of January of next year, are likely to be among the most powerful officials on the planet.
Despite her agreement with those propositions, the author and activist Naomi Klein believes there are serious threats to personal privacy and other critical political values posed by hacks of this sort, particularly when accompanied by the indiscriminate publication of someone’s personal emails.
That's the downside of having power in a corporatist shitstem and it applies to their whore politicians too. Hillary Clinton is a public person in a high profile position. She HAS NO "Personal emails" afaic. Just like a corporate director has to get up at 3 am while in mid-fuck of some prostitute he hired for the night and get on a plane to 'put out a fire' threatening the corporation, someone whose secretary of state or president HAS NO PRIVATE LIFE.
Nor should they.
May be Trump with his love to "drain the swamp", would consider all government expenditure as a valid, legitimate target for fully detailed, transaction by transaction, publication? Including of course direct (government bodies, individuals) and indirect (all private and corporate contractors etc) payments. Every expense, every receipt for everything - although perhaps excepting payment to prostitutes?
