Will someone please just dump the fucking dataset already. Let the true analysts that are the whole public decide what to report / ignore and who to protect / admonish / prosecute.

"Sometimes one has to rely on spontaneous parallels to understand what they read... my conversation with my physics teacher when I was 15/16 over the usefulness or tyranny of "the authority of experts" in society comes to mind, I wonder why..." "Let's be real. The Intercept and First Look Media didn't do this for The Greater Good. They got publicity and advertising revenue for being gatekeeper of this information and first to break the stories. "major news outlets had ceased reporting on it years ago" means "no longer profitable". So why should they be paying people to dredge through it when they aren't producing juicy bits any more? The two "journalists" whose job was to find stuff in top security documents that were illegally leaked in the hopes of bringing in web traffic shouldn't be the least bit surprised that their "research" positions have come to an end."
