The Most Important WikiLeaks Revelation Isn’t About Hillary Clinton

I was referring to the email dump in general. There are enormous stories in there, any one of which if they involved Trump instead of Clinton would be front page top story, no question.

With regard to the specific subset of emails OP's article refers to, I believe the big deal is that a Citigroup executive basically had his pick of all these positions.

That's really the only glimmer of hope I've seen through all this. There was a report I saw somewhere that people were experiencing unprecedented physical stress during this election season, and I believe it: seeing stuff like this everywhere you turn really does to an extent make you feel like you're going crazy.

> On the one hand we have an email dump that, while there seems to be some amount of smoke, doesn't itself represent much of a fire. Just the usual Clinton crap: lots of shady stuff that rides the line of ethics, and veers pretty far into a inside political baseball.

You do not seem to be very familiar with them.

>On the other, we have a wildly controversial presidential candidate caught talking about sexually assaulting women

Demonstrably false. Say what you want about the unsavory nature of the quote, the only way it can refer to sexual assault is if you willfully omit the last part of the quote (" they let you do it.")

> followed by women coming out and actually saying he did it

Then followed by several witnesses who came out and said "I was there, and nothing remotely close to this happened." These were also to my knowledge not reported in the mainstream media with the exception of the New York Post, which covered the witness to the allegations of sexual assault on a plane.

> Based purely on the assumption that news == entertainment, which story do you think will get the headlines?

My issue wasn't that they weren't getting the same font size as the groping allegations - my issue is that they aren't getting covered AT ALL.

So do I believe the stories contained in the wikileaks dumps are more newsworthy than "Donald Trump got fresh with me 30 years ago (and do me a favor and ignore anyone who says otherwise? kthx)"? ...Yeah, I don't think it's much of a stretch to say they are.

Or again, you could "use regular ol' common sense" and ask yourself 'If I replaced the name 'Clinton' with the name 'Trump' in this case, would the outcome be the same?"

If you don't think so, I'll give you my Skype username so you can look me in the eye and tell me the media wouldnt pounce on a story of Trump's campaign manager complaining about "needy Latinos"

>You know, instead of assuming a vast conspiracy, you could use regular ol' common sense.

Except if you actually read the emails, you'd see the bigger picture. Clinton's people are setting him up, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12715664 and http://nypost.com/2016/10/14/trump-camp-puts-forward-witness...

There's no disputing that Trump isn't fit for the Presidency but this whole groping thing is being orchestrated. He said some dumb sh*t years ago and now they're literally paying people to come forward and say he groped them.

Add to the fact that in the emails there's evidence that Scalia was murdered and people should be sitting up and taking notice.

That's the disturbing thing, not Soros buying the presidency, not Scalia been murdered, not Trump been framed, not Hillary's corruption, not the invasion in Syria etc etc but the simple fact that most people either don't care or are just oblivious this is even happening.
