Sorry to be a stickler, but if it's been made public, it's not kompromat (hard to use a secret as leverage if you don't keep it secret).

Correct, but the hacking attempts apparently preceded tonight's release, we don't know what, if anything, transpired prior to it.

Early April -- but if we have no information at all why are we making a reference to it with a loaded HUMINT term?
-
A loaded term? The term existed long before the DNC leaks http://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/24/world/yeltsin-s-inner-circle-under-investigation-for-corruption.html … and was routinely applied to describe similar operations

I don't object to use of the term, I'm saying it describes a specific/different tactic than dumping docs, kompromat is blackmail material.
-
Such troves are arguably blackmail material (Greek politics also work like that). Dumping is just usually a last recourse tactic
-
Allllllllllll I'm saying is that info made public can't be kompromat.
-
Agreed, in that after the fact, it's rendered unusable for blackmail :)
