"Collecting metadata..." is all I see, possibly due to Firefox's tracking protection. The source contains a lot more information - apparently this is something to do with Wikileaks. Also some minified Javascript.

What am I missing?

Reading through these emails, I can't help but draw the parallels between startups and politics. Emails from Mary Bonner included prospecting, getting ripped off, and PR drama are so reminiscent of emails I've seen.

I wonder if the hacked email dumps have actually helped Clinton at this point. Unless the goal was to pull back the curtain and reveal that they're all a bunch of...thoughtful, informed, intelligent, passionate, articulate, ambitious professionals struggling with how to do the right thing while playing just enough politics and marketing to get elected. Sadly that actually does seem to turn off some voters, but likely only the ones who've made their minds up years ago anyway.

thoughtful, informed, intelligent, passionate, articulate, ambitious professionals struggling with how to do the right thing while playing just enough politics and marketing to get elected.

These are people who took out fakes craigslist ads in someone else's name. People who wished that mass-shooters were white before the news broke. People who paid off journalists to get debate questions. People who accept large sums of money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, while days earlier acknowledging that they fund terrorism and ISIS. People who deliberately withhold emails from the FBI. People who were openly against gay marriage and for the war in Iraq ten years ago. People who acknowledge the shadiness of using private emails and talk about "cleaning it up".

The emails only show corruption, deceit, and a disregard for the law and the American people.

Is this what you saw in those emails? Time to send your resume to DNC!

Nice! I actually did something similar [1], just haven't gotten around to adding the Podesta emails.

What's up with this invisible-UI design paradigm? The "lookup contacts" search box and the slider controls on the left are at 20% opacity (i.e. 80% invisible) until you mouseover them. Good grief.

Putting aside who is better, Trump or Clinton - Clinton and the DNC establishment support National Security Letters, NSA spying, PRISM, Echelon, the idea that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have no expectation of privacy. On a more positive side, some of them believe in FOIA and government transparency.

Yet they don't believe what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Clinton made sure her e-mails were on a private server, immune from FOIA and subpoenas. What hypocrisy.

Their fight against the spread of encryption and security so that they could spy on everyone is what helped lead to the possibility of this leak happening. They have been hoisted by their own petard, and it is glorious to see.

Clinton, the DNC establishment and the Republican establishment support these things, and have for a long time. Don't forget it was Dick Cheney who tried to convince Americans to accept the "new normal" of the war on terror and attacks on civil liberties being necessary after 9/11.

Schadenfreude's fun and all but I'm not going to feel any better with Trump in charge of the kill list than Clinton.
