Except Trump/Tillersion just happily approved the biggest arms deal with Saudi, while the previous Obama administration was halting this deal because of human right violations in Yemen. Iran deal was also in the line to reduce Saudi's influence on foreign policy.

How were the polls fake when they were basically right? The state-polls for Wisconsin / Michigan in the end were wrong, but those states in the end were probably not polled enough to capture the volatility of unprecedented events like the Comey letter.

And FYI national polls predicted a 1-4% popular vote win, those where pretty much on the money.

His Gmail password was probably runner4567, at least his icloud password was and he emailed it. Also not changed when that email leaked.

Just stop with the nonsense that his email password was "p@ssword", as the truth is just as stupid.

Or the Trump organization is much smaller than what he wants it to appear. It's mainly branding (Trump Vodka trump water, a lot of the Trump buildings), get-rich-schemes (Trump University, Trump Network) or hotels. And ofcourse the reality-tv business

With regards to infosec at his hotels, plenty of credit-card breaches https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/04/sources-trump-hotels-bre...

His email servers run on Windows 2003 with IIS6:

It could be there is a different answer to why nothing been released yet, eg. blackmail.

For starters it was only a 70k vote differences between the electoral college win, so about anything small could have made a difference.

The leaks itself were only small and didn't contain so much, but they were amplified with big dis-information campaign that surely must have depressed Democratic turnout to some degree. Especially the leaks focused on demotivating the former Bernie supporters, to support their (imo wrongly) narrative that the primaries were rigged against Bernie by the DNC.

The DOJ status hearing is one of the perfect examples of something out of WikiLeaks that was way blown out of proportion by tweeting first, ask questions later.

On the debate thing, a Bernie senior aide came out and said that she gave guidance to Sanders campaign too. The most nefarious scenario would be that Brazile gave questions to Clinton to prop her up. The less nefarious scenario would be that Brazile from her DNC position tried to get the best out of both candidates to not embarrass the DNC.

Note that Brazile and CNN are still denying she could have gotten access to the townhall questions. I agree though that networks should not put themselves in these kind of conflict of interests, by hiring a political commentator that is paid by the DNC at the same time, or a former campaign manager that is still on the payroll of said campaign like Corey Lewandowski.

Most of the things i've came across that are being brought up as bombshells are actually incoming mails from outside the campaign.

Plus there is a number of things that are being put out of context like the Hillary hates Everyday Americans thing, where it's clear from the context that it is just about the phrasing
