The issue with the hacks and emails is that they created conditions for vague innuendo. It was a totally substance free scandal, which is why she couldn't exculpate herself. How can you prove your innocence it you never hear the charges? Xp
― Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
Trump could have pulled something like that off regardless, but the frequent leaks just led to a slow bleed of "scandal," even though in this case she was a victim of a crime not a perpetrator. The power of the "emails" was that no one was sure why they should be upset about them.
