    Hypothesis: Macron emails held until it was clear Le Pen won't win. That it's definitely abt aftermath.

        Weeks b4 Podesta mails dropped, RU thought Hillary would win, effort was wasted. So why drop when they did? It actually didn't make the diff

        But they were prepping for opposition afterwards--which a Bannon led effort was far more qualified for than running the WH.

        Macron will prolly still win, handily. But left and right are already riling for an anti-"globalist" fight.

        9gb is a stupid amount of emails to go through, people are going to be greping for keywords but will be interesting how fast it gets out

        That's my point. Not out in time to affect outcome. But out in perfect timing to destabilize aftermath.

        And aren't Parliamentary elections in June. Which I've heard Macron would struggle with anyway

        Right. RU is better off w/disruption. Especially if Macron and Germany were going to attempt to strengthen EU.

        Certainly think this 'drop' net hurts rather than helps her. Frankly puzzled by timing.

        Meh, clearly because Le Pen didn't spend enough time coddling the wonderful rural folk in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

        Sorry, but not sure I wholly get your point? I'm just saying were this more skilled cyber-skulduggery would have prob dumped weeks ago, no?

        Don't think so. Not clear this could have helped le pen get elected. Her one hope was independence fr ru-us which ru hacking doesn't help.

        Also, how would that have helped Le Pen weeks ago? She was a safe bet to get to a run-off.

        Right. Also explains why you drop right when media blackout starts. Everyone has 2 days to read them to dampen the Macron win.

        Maybe - or until he couldn't respond due to lack of active campaigning. Or just bad judgment - Russia/whoever not always competent.
