Conspiracy and collusion thrive in secrecy and darkness , the ability of conspirators to communicate freely in secrecy is the glue that holds any conspiratorial group togetogether. If there is no darkness there can be trust amongst the members and the whole thing falls apart. This is assanges take on things anyhow. His old website IQ.org , and an essay he authored called " conspiracy in governance " ( I think anyway) detailed exactly what purpose he envisioned for Wikileaks.
You're missing my point. I don't have a problem with exposing corruption (although nothing the DNC did was corrupt or even questionable, unless you're a Bernie fan). I have a problem with foreign powers doing it with a goal towards manipulating our elections.
In my first post, I made clear that just releasing all of the information at once is one thing. Releasing it in stages is intentionally manipulative and if it's coming from a foreign power, then American should be concerned.
Don't confuse my concerns about who did the hacking and how it's being released with being concerned about the exposure. A document dump gives us everything up front and then we sift through it for what matters. Timed releases of information curated by a foreign power is a very different thing.
Is there some reason everything can't be released at once?
