This isn't really a dig at Clinton. Her policy is to overturn citizens united.

 

Still, the matter of fact acceptance of the fact in an email while Clinton hammers Trump for questioning democracy in the US is noteworthy.

Could go in the election thread, but is a leaked email so putting it here.

 

It's spot on insight and over a year old.

 

With this well recognised fact, it's remarkable the Clinton campaign ignore it completely and still has surrogates in the DNC fighting dirty for her and having to resign, providing questions for the debate, tarnishing any opponents as Putin stooges etc.

Depends if you considering tweeting about it to be the same as actually releasing it. Wikileaks has presumably released the files overnight or something.

All their tweets link to the mails referred to. They've been doing nightly dumps for a fortnight.

BBC care enough to make it their top story.

 

Lying presidents aren't newsworthy like they were in Nixon's day.

 

Lower standards I guess.

I couldn't find it anywhere on the App (didn't search).

 

Are you comparing anything Hillary has done with Watergate? :lol:

 

You're getting more silly by the day.

Just like the Clinton campaign

No though, I was comparing Obama, not Clinton. Obviously Obama's wanst as bad, he's been lying to cover for Clinton's fuck up. Nixon lied to cover his own wrong doing.

 

You will have selected which sections to appear in which order on your app. So you're curating the news yourself on there.

 

At the BBC website, where news editors decide what is newsworthy, the podesta mails are currently the top banner.

Where's the evidence that Obama lied? It's hardly inconceivable that he'll only noticed her name and not the domain address on her emails.

Then he's incompetent. People generally look at who a mail is from before opening it. If a colleague was sending a load of work stuff via gmail I'd have to sort it or escalate to security. And I don't handle anything classified.

And the section on the BBC website you're referring to isn't necessarily their top story. It's normally reserved for a general interest piece.

 

I'm happy to agree that it's in the public interest without being earth shattering enough to displace a president or presidential candidate.

 

For me, while I think the couple of dozen stories that have come from thousands of mails are all well worth reporting and have importance with regards to how we perceive leaders, more important than that is the fact that Clinton opposes encryption which could have protected her mails from the Russians, Anonymous, Trump or whoever else she thinks stole them.

 

If we're comparing to watergate, it's like her campaign left the door of the room open with a sign above saying "Clinton emails in here" so anyone nefarious could walk in and take them. Nothing was stolen was kept under lock and key.

 

As a result the Clinton campaign has taken to using signal to ensure their communications are encrypted, but Clinton still hasn't publicly endorsed encryption.
