What's surprising is that one of the "sides" that released dirt before the debate was, you know, a long-time adversarial foreign country.

Russians steal emails. Russians give emails to Assange. Assange publishes emails. Yeah, that sounds like an Ecuadorian closet to me.

See my follow-up post. And RU did not republish them a zillion times in the most credible outlets.
-
Also - politics is a blood sport that determines life and death, and any avenue of attack on Trump is a good one. Rs wouldn't hesitate!
-
Which is why they didn't hesitate to claim plausible deniability about the stolen emails to make the most of them.

That said, I have zero problem with proof of Trump's sleaziness being used against him. Sadly, tho, it drowned out policy where it mattered.

I'm not contesting the emails came from RU, but that's part of the problem with squelching IC report that blamed RU.
