>Once again, one manages not to mention what was in the emails. Genuine emails not disinformation.

I don't believe that the comment to which you replied mentioned disinformation.

I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty pissed if my email was splashed across the Internet, regardless of who did it or why they did so.

Why don't we image all your storage devices, then post everything you've written, every site you've browsed, everywhere you've been, etc., etc., etc.

It's not disinformation, so it's okay to do so right?

Wow that's a very weird argument. We are not talking about the privacy of you and me but about the party apparatus conspiring to prevent Bernie Sanders from being the democratic candidate. At that point you might as well argue that the taking of the winter palace was a illegitimate because I don't know about but would you like to see your home invaded by a bunch of angry people?

You're right, we're talking about the members of a private organization that has no governmental role.

Are those people not entitled to the same level of privacy to which you and I are?

And if those folks aren't entitled to privacy, who is?

How about all those celebrities[0] whose iCloud accounts were hacked and naked photos and private messages spread far and wide?

Are they entitled to privacy? If so, why them and not others? If not, why not?

Okay.

When can I stop by to take those images of your devices?
