Does CNN realize that twitter's TOS prevent distribution of HRC's hacked emails?

From Twitter terms of service:

Distribution of hacked materials

We do not permit the use of our services to directly distribute content obtained through hacking that contains personally identifiable information, may put people in imminent harm or danger, or contains trade secrets. Direct distribution of hacked materials includes posting hacked content on Twitter (for instance, in the text of a Tweet, or in an image), or directly linking to hacked content hosted on other websites.

We may suspend accounts which directly distribute hacked materials where the account has made a claim of responsibility for a hack, or where Twitter is able to reliably attribute a hack to the account distributing that content.

It's a civil matter anyway.

Twitter could revoke their account, but there is no way in hell that happen.

or contains trade secrets."

Do any of the distributed emails fit those categories?
