Political science classes will be discussing and debating this dark era in American politics for centuries.
You're second sentence? They sure will be discussing it, but not for the reason's you think.

Absolutely! It really is astonishing and a sad but fascinating study of how portions of a society devolve into Idiocracy.

"The truth will set you free, but first, you gotta know what it is!!!"

How can truth set you free when you are actively trying to avoid it?

Of course. Trump operatives have been colluding with criminals who steal private mail and publish it on a scale much much larger than Watergate.

And I sincerely hope that all of the people cheering it on someday have their privacy invaded, are spied upon and hopefully all of it is published. Privacy will no longer exist anywhere in the world and nobody that encouraged it will have a right to complain. This includes every so-called Libertarian who thinks that the Assange/Putin theft and spying is ok. Thank you Vlad and Julian for making a mockery of privacy, civil society, and the US election.

And yet, I'm supposed to care about Podesta's emails. Seriously? Lol.

Do you mean like illegally publishing Trump's taxes?

You seemed pretty happy when Trump's privacy was invaded.
