    I have lived in the DC suburbs almost my entire life. Dinner parties with both politicians and reporters in attendance have been a fact of life here for all the decades I've been alive. Growing up reading the Washington Post, I loved the column with all the pictures of the parties. The most coveted invitation in town was the invitation to dinner from Katherine Graham herself, the publisher of the Washington Post. Her guests were always sworn to the utmost privacy, because she felt like her gatherings were places that people could speak freely about the issues of the time without fear of political backlash.

    If I were to do a historical search right now, I would probably discover that these dinners have occurred for as long as our Republic has existed. After all, Ben Franklin himself got started in business as a newspaper publisher -- and he sure loved the ladies, too.

    Again, the only thing that surprises me here is that people are surprised. There was a time when it was considered classy to attend such events. It used to be classy to respect people's privacy, too. I'm feeling nostalgic this morning for the good old days.

    This in particular hit me - agreed.

    There is a digital data “arms race” underway in which corporate giants such as Google and Facebook — and now AT&T, Comcast and Verizon — are assembling far-reaching dossiers on individuals. Nearly everything we do — online and off — is being swept up by a sophisticated and largely stealth data-mining machine. Our actions, behaviors, income, race, political interests and more are continually being scrutinized and fed into supercomputers that then make millisecond determinations about each of us (“can pay high rate of credit card interest,” “candidate for payday loan,” “worried about cancer or other illness,” “a teen that likes junk food,” “has this political leaning,” etc.).

    Okaaaaaay.

    So it seems that you're just putting them out here without really sorting by apparent relevance. Or maybe you're choosing ones that seems more interesting to you? I'm kind of scratching my head here at what you're posting.

    There's 1000s of leaked/hacked emails that anyone can search by key word subject and etc. That's the cool thing about wiki they release ALL info in raw format without interpretation or commentary.

    Why yes, it's true that anything can be posted without interpretation or commentary; it's just not very compelling that way.

    I guess it's the lord's work, though,so soldier on.

    I did a search for "fart" and came up empty. These emails have obviously been sorted and filtered.

    It's information, I make no assumptions about what peope know and what they don't, I certainly don't assume I know more than anyone else.
    I do know this, a US election should not cost a billion dollars. Does anyone disagree?
    Google search a visual of what a billion $ looks like! (Wait until after you've paid your monthly bills)

    I just haven't found any of the emails being posted relevant to much of anything. I already knew that politicians play politics, which is all I see in any of these emails. We're there people who didn't understand that politicians play politics? Is that why they are interested in these 1000s of irrelevant emails?
    Geez, wake me up on November 9th.

    Responding to these types of questions are a complete waste of energy. Ultimately if you already have everything figured out and find nothing on this thread informative or useful then you're probably better off on the 1'000's of other post

    This is the voting bloc that watches cnn msnbc and main stream media, they won't determine the election, the young ins Indies and Bernie supporters that use social media will. At minimal if nothing else they verify and provide proof to what many believed.
