Care to cite any? I remember chatter about this from TYT-types, but it never went anywhere.

Wait, so the scandalous reveal is that she was a smart politician who, like any other, knows how to make persuasive and nuanced statements?

If you think Bernie Sanders didn't have "private" positions that occasionally conflicted with his "public" positions, you're fooling yourself.

I don't know how you think they were able to "prop up" anybody in the Republican race. (Maybe it's an extension of the powers they also don't have, to prop up someone in the Democratic race.) But anyway, what does this have to do with ANYTHING in the Democratic primary?

Because the press used it to drive a salacious, though ultimately empty, scandal. Also key in this is that certain supposedly progressive people were misled (in part by Russian propaganda) into thinking there was evidence of corruption in these emails.

She was not hacked, by the way. The DNC is an independent organization. Podesta's account was Gmail. Both of these were results of phishing scams, not any inherent server vulnerability.

I don't know what you're asking at this point. Maybe your conspiracy theories are tying you in knots.
