It would probably be good to go and find all the quotes from left wingers in which Julian Assange and Wikileaks are praised, because he's in for a crap-ton of flak from those people now.

Assange criticized the New York Times and other news organizations for "unfairly supporting Clinton" who is, in his estimation, "a demon."

"We have tens of thousands, possibly as many as a hundred thousand, pages of documents of different types, related to the operations that Hillary Clinton is associated with,..."

I'll wait until they are released and we have something to discuss... to discuss this.

He is a salesman. Whether or not there is more behind holding back till just before the election, we will have wait and see.
 
With all the emails it looks like all people did was e mail each other. I doubt I've written 15,000 e mails in my entire life, work life included! Hell, I'll include SPAM and my Nigerian gold I'm still waiting for!

They sit there and send e mails back and forth from "John in bubble A" to "Jane in bubble B". It's time to shut off the computer and get to work.

No wonder every thing is FUBAR.

I work with about 500 different accounts and work in a company that employs about 1500 folks. I don't know how many emails I write daily. I would guess about 50. Many are to various folks at one time.

Email is an amazing device. 20 people can share thoughts from various viewpoints on one topic each using about a minute to contribute.

No need for travel or a meeting or preparations for a presentation. all of the opportunity to attach photos and graphs and whatnot.

Email enables fantastic communication possibilities and some high comedy when some poor dummy makes the wrong comment and hits "Reply All". I've been that dummy...
 
The Clinton haters do not quit, do they? They keep hoping for a Clinton scandal that will take Hillary down.

You have no idea. Back when I worked in embassies I usually had 4 different computer systems, some State and some DoD of various classification levels. I received email on each of them. I received hundreds of emails a day, and it wasn't spam. But there was a lot of being CCed on every little thing. I would get to where if my name wasn't in the "To" line I would ignore it, otherwise I wouldn't get any work done.

I don't miss it.

As a sales manager one of my main efforts was to reduce e mails to outside sales. One product manager gets a wild butt hair and thinks he has to ask 15 reps to stop and answer some question someone else in the company can answer. My guys were taked to do "face time" with owners, capture contracts, apologize for screw up's and spread company cheer, and increase sales. Not answer brain farts. That's what 4am to 7am is for, and for other stupid questions 5pm to 11pm. And that is how you lose your best people.

E mail, IMO, can be a huge time waster and a severe burden on productivity unless it is "process related".

But that's just me...

Assange is a double edged sword. A few years ago, I wanted him shot. Now he's a hero. He is bringing "street justice" where our corrupted DoJ won't.

But until quantum computing becomes real, or some perfect solution is found, e mails is always going to be a trap waiting to bite you.

It would be even better to go find conservative condemnations of Assange, a man they now look upon as a hero. Start with Sean Hannity.

As for "left winger" praise for Assange, I would bet that most progressive supporters of the man have no love for Hillary Clinton.

"Street justice" is the only justice left for Hillary since the DoJ, and the FBI are corrupt.

I hate corruption.

I know, right? God. In any case, he hasn't lied so far that we know of, and he hinted at the DNC leaks for months up to their release. I expect one of two possibilities. The first is that he releases it two weeks before the November election or a week before the first debate (i.e. some time where it will do damage to Hillary against Trump). The second possibility, however, that is that he may release the leaks on November 10th. In other words, he may keep Trump out of office, but if he releases a massive scandal about Hillary Clinton the second that she's won the election, it will make everyone very critical of her starting off her acceptance of being president.

Hillary Clinton's separate e-mail account was like Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. They were foolish. They were not evil. No one was harmed by them, other than Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.

Why should they quit? There are ample and viable reasons to persue the scandals until one is finally proven. And you do not have to hate her to thoroughly distrust her.

The "second amendment" people?

Are you advocating for somebody to take a shot at Hilary because "**** reality, she's guilty of something damnit!"

Something is obviously working, because she's starting to slip in the polls.

If he is indeed working or colluding in some way with the Russians (most likely receiving material in exchange for cooperating with their desired release schedule should this be the case) I very much doubt he would pass on an October surprise if it were capable of derailing her campaign.

You have an interesting theory here. They could all be correct if he released them in batches. He might even time it to release docs in batches just before all of the debates and save some in the event she won.

Emails seem to work best for binary considerations or for preparation for meetings including scheduling them.

If the topic involves various considerations, then the complexities increase the size of each email as the chain goes forward. That's when a meeting becomes essential. Agenda planned meetings with well directed segments can be a site where great ideas from the group reach critical mass and fill everyone with energy.

Poorly planned and directed meetings are often only a forum for the bored to observe the moron in charge patting himself on the back.

Good meetings are exciting with fast paced interaction. Poor meetings are tedious with a one-sided monologue.

The poor meeting message is best communicated with an email. When I get involved in a meeting with no agenda, I make sure my phone is on vibrate so I can react to a call, real or imagined, and leave.

It's embarrassing how stupid I am... What's Quantum Computing and how will that help protect me from the dreaded email traps?

Why would left-wing Assange work with right-wing Putin? Makes no sense. Besides, the only source the Hillary campaign has that Russian intelligence was behind the DNC Leaks is an "anonymous CIA employee"...
