Will no one hack Trump's emails, though. I'm sure they'd show many, many, many interesting things.
Lweji, I'm sure there are a gazillion-and-one hackers world-wide who are trying, and who have been trying to hack every POTUS's email since email began. I know less than nothing about hacking and levels of protection against it but I'd guess that if anyone has state of the art security, it's POTUS (and every other Head of State worldwide).
But what a treasure trove it would be, no?
For me it is about the case and reason for prosecuting and whether this would have for other legit publications like NYT, Buzzfeed, Guardian or WaPo who have all published leaked info from various sources in the past.
This is a concern I mentioned upthread. As it stands, media outlets have published information they could have surmised were classified and had been gotten illegally. I remember this happening back in the '70s with the Pentagon Papers and Watergate leaks (Deep Throat) and I'm sure it happened earlier than that. The media outlets were never 'punished' for publishing illegally obtained information, even if that information was deemed classified, and it was determined that Freedom of the Press protected them as long as they were not responsible for the theft. If this presumption changes, and it's highly likely Trump et al will want that changed to cover their dirty secrets, it will be fought by the Media all the way to the Supreme Court. And unfortunately, we now have a Supreme Court that is highly likely to rule in favour of gagging the Press if it serves the Conservative agenda. And the SCOTUS is for life. We will be suffering from this court's decisions for decades.
