11. No, those emails had nothing controversial in them and weren't a factor

only an embarrassment to Mrs. Clinton, as releasing your correspondence would be to you.

We got TFG because of a corrupt media than hung on his every word while refusing to allow Clinton to say a word, just telluing us where she was campaigning and what the polls were like in a loud voice over.

We had an intense disinformation campaign originating in Russia and amplified by stupid people here, mostly on Facebook, that suppressed voting among traditional Democrats, especially POC.

We had Cambridge Analytica, again using Facebook and the personal data gleaned from it, to target individuals to suppress the vote.

And finall, we ha JAMES FUCKING COMEY, who trumpeted a smoking gun proving Clinton's corruption just days before the election, then whispering that there was nothing there.

All of this is what gave us TFG: corrupt and lazy press acting as a monopoly, interference by a hostile foreign power, interference by a hostile corporation using data they should never have been given access to, and ONE CORRUPT FBI OFFICIAL with a carefully timed final smear.

Assange's publication of her emails, which few people read, didn't really do much, at all, because there was nothing in them.
