Thanks. A very good point, given the MSM sledgehammer chorus of "conspiracy theory!" and confindent dismissals of the new favorite, a "non-existent conspiracy." For that matter, there doesn't have to be any
conspiracy involved, it could have been
one person covering his own ass.

Apparently that's just too much to ask, for some. That a highly patriotic computer specialist and Bernie Sanders supporter employed at the DNC working on email systems might have a motive to leak those incriminating emails is nothing more than crazy talk just made up out of nothing. How dare you. You probably also believe that 9/11 was an inside job and that Jews run the world. Hillary Clinton is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being who's ever run for president, and to make these shameful insinuations is beyond the pale. You Hannity-loving creep.
With rationality out the window, all that remains are emotional appeals. None of the cool kids believe this stuff.
Remember when people tried to stifle discussion of 9/11 with demands to shut up "out of respect for the families"?*
