23. Okay, but where's the CRIME

You may not like it, but what's the crime? And what did the DNC emails say that was false? I'm not arguing in favor of the DNC email release, but if those emails are factually accurate, what, exactly, are you debating? That journalism should only affect those you disapprove of? It's exhausting, having to continually point out that you can hate Assange, but that doesn't make his actions criminal. Journalism doesn't mean playing patty cake with the U.S. government or its allies.
