You, directly above: We know that Podesta was a victim of spear phishing.

You, directly above that: Assange's denials about Russia's involvement aren't credible on its face.

Yeah, I'm confused. This is all beside the point. It is lawful to publish true information about candidates that is of interest to the public.

It turns out you need context to understand the meaning of words. If you keep reading, you will see the rest of that context. I wasn't saying "it is obviously false that Russia didn't hack the DNC", I was saying that "Assange cannot claim to know Russia didn't hack the DNC [unless he was involved directly]". See the difference?

As of 19:23 UTC, the poster's profile's 'About' section only lists: " "obvious troll" ".

19:23?!? Oh shit, dude, you caught me! I had so meant to change that sometime in the last three years! After all, HN people can't be expected to understand a joke in any context!
