“This is a legitimate email,” ... “This is aN Ilegitimate email,”

Two typos actually! When you add them back in you wonder is that a sentence you would ever use in this circumstance. Its not the disowning of an illegitimate child is oh crap thats a fake email, or 'dont reply to that' 'its a scam' etc. They must think we have brain damage.

The IT staffer claimed that he was supposed to put a "not" before the "a legitimate". However I think he is just trying to cover his tracks. What he meant to say is that the need to change the password is legitimate but THAT particular email is not the correct way to do it :)

Came out in the Daily Mail that the actual DNC leaks was done by an insider and handed over to Wikileaks in a park in England on a hard drive. Whole 'hacked by Russians' is fake new distraction.

If this is "true" WHERE IS ASSANGE??? Assange would not be missing if this fake russia hacking story was true.

I'm thinking the same thing. It makes for a great story, is at least conceivable, and it's hard to disprove with any direct evidence. We have to take people's word for it, at this point, that the real leak was person-to-person. (I think it really was, but can't demonstrably prove that.)
