FWIW: I don't think Pentagon Papers or Trump tax return maps to mass leaks. But this needs longer form./maybe later

PP was mass leak: many volumes. Analogy of Trump tax was it was possibly stolen. Snowden & Manning were mass leaks.

Pentagon Papers: mass leak of official documents—not email conversation hence little analogy. Tax return: one doc.

FWIW; Ellsberg told me (as he told others) he wished he had leaked earlier and I believe that is correct.

Neither singular documents, nor pre-internet mass leaks (content much more limited) map to current dilemma.

Look: front page of WaPo. What a Huffpo blogger emailed *to* Podesta. How is this news now? 100 stories like this.pic.twitter.com/ZBPUmpZbzb

I agree. It's terrible news judgment. But I constantly see non-WL stories in major outlets that are trivial & empty.

And that's the weakness: that press can't resist such tidbits that these hacks are deliberately targeting.

Not to mention the losses (privacy; right to internal conversations). Would you chase these stories if not leaked?

Trump tax; Pentagon Papers: I'd chase those stories. Clinton campaign internal convo; there'd be little effort.
