Do you think you/we have a right to know?

A "right"? No. But if we end up not knowing than it has the same effect we presume leak did in first place.

Disinfectant might have to be poisoning all the leak-wells so their credibility is shot. Unlikely ever to be able to stop them filling up.

Except in this case the opposite happened.

In what way?
-
Well, WL's first comment was that these might be fake, and it has done some very visible vetting since then.

And its second went in hard against Macron, saying he couldn't know they were fake and they were ahead (I wonder how?). Backpedalling after.

And guess what? In retrospect, that proved smart, bc we have been reminded that Macron said he'd seed fakes.

Right?! Yet I must say emptywheel, you perplex me in what your true motivations are sometimes! Exposing falsehoods? Poking power? Ru opts?

makes sense, but reliance on norms is precisely what has been so devastatingly exploited by DT campaign & Admin (they're elective by nature)

Fair point. But the US needs to find some way to combat being the most vulnerable target for hacking.

Which ones are fake? Seems to me they are bullshitting to cover up, just crying "fake!".
-
Dunno. I assume they'll be able to say which are.
-
I assume they won't, but nobody will care, similar to claims made by the DNC.

My understanding is after they were informed they were

Being hacked, instead of trying to do it they instead started flooding it with fake info. So not all the info released was fake but ALOT of

It was.
