A small foot note to that....
"In The Five Weeks Before The 2016 Presidential Election, Fox News’ Evening Programs Devoted At Least 173 Segments To Wikileaks Disclosures Of Stolen Emails."

And YOUR thoughts? I thought WikiLeaks was all true. I thought that it showed just what people did and thought and said when they thought no one was looking. I think it is far more helpful than this forum when hardly no one wants anyone to know who they really are.
It helps to know a person's background, what they did before they did what they are doing now.
