@Builder,
You almost have it right. However, despite the criminal way the email was stolen, it was held by God only knows until the wiki assholes trickled out tidbits. There is no verifiable chain of evidence, but that didn't matter to the excitables or you, it was perfect for that audience. In fact about 2 weeks ago, a North Carolina man drove to DC and fired an automatic weapon in a pizza parlor after Gen Flynn alleged that Hillary and Podesta were going to be indicted for running a child sex slave operation in the imaginary tunnels under the restaurant. Later Flynn scrambled to delete those tweets, but they have been saved in other medium, Crazy Gen Flynn's even crazier Moke Flynn Jr. who tweeted it was up to the pizza place to prove they were not a child sex slave op, and this was after the nutcase shot the place up. Jr is no longer part of the Trump team.............I'm sure he'll be back later when people are no longer paying attention to the tweets that incite violence.
Ultimately the stolen doc's held without careful storage and proof of chain of custody would likely not be allowed in a court of law. But 'we' have cowboys who still dream they can fix everything with a lynch party, death threats and insults and mocking. It's not true, but I'm sure a few a2k authoritarians will believe it's their right to ignore the Constitution.
Please don't mistake me for someone who was happy about the earlier Wikileaks dumps. I was just as furious about the earlier releases as I am about the new breech, maybe more furious. When they stole the documents the first time they called the parents of the children who wanted run downstairs
