I think the guy is pretty slimy but did he release any information that were lies?

Also does lying even constitute anything illegal?

Suggesting to lock someonen up for centuries because you don't like his political position reminds me of someone.

He selectively released information in such a way and at such a time as to tip the election to Trump.

It's not a lie but it's undue influence.

Nothing illegal about that. Just slimy because he claimed to be the bastion of Truth.

Politicians are going to only release negative details about opposition's as well. I don't think there is some law you need to support a certain philosophy.

I didn't say it was illegal?

He's a fuck head and I couldn't care less if he rots in jail.

I do. I care about injustice. Even those that are fuck heads. I am not a Trump supporter that thinks justice for one but not others.
