I mean, what exactly would an email dump accomplish? Hard to embarrass these guys in any way that matters. They just keep plugging on, doing crimes and ruining lives, while sending their goon squads to rough up any news reporter who asks a difficult question at a press briefing.

The fact that this is "Iran" implicated in the data dump only gives the bigger media outlets one more excuse to ignore the release and freeze out anyone involved in its distribution.

Tell it to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Okay, I don't know if they'll get my message.
