Seriously seems like this was a whistleblower with a legitimate concern for the American people. Maybe she was careless on purpose. If you know you are going to get caught, might as well make your trail obvious so that you can claim that you are a whistleblower.

How is that she was a whistleblower? The US government wasn't breaking any laws and, for all we know, the evidence she had may be part of the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the election.
