DNC [Democratic National Committee] top dogs can't seem to wrap their brains around GPG encryption, and so now we have the chance to peruse their emails. Which is nice, but still sort of shocking that the people who want to run the country can't secure their communications. It will probably take a while before anything of great interest is found in the archive because it was just released , but if you want to help in the search, have fun.

Here is one amusing excerpt:

NOTICE: This communication may contain privileged or other confidential information. If you have received it in error, please advise the sender by reply email and immediately delete the message and any attachments without copying or disclosing the contents. Thank you.

    Don't all emails have a disclaimer at the end? Look and see if you can find this one in the dump.

    IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humour or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this email is not authorised (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating social faux pas. Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the yorkshire terrier next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft: However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets. If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites and place it in a warm oven for 40 minutes. Whisk briefly and let it stand for 2 hours before icing.

    Then we would know that Hillary is up to no good! Unless this is from a TRUMP email. Does Trump even do email? Or only Tweets?
