I'm curious how involved Stone is. I could see going to him to do opposition research on a VP candidate. Find those skeletons, twist those facts, etc.. It would be interesting to see the reports on the other potential candidates to know what skeletons they have. If they brag about killing dogs as kids, what shit are they hiding. But I am not sure Stone is the guy who would be involved in day-to-day activities. Not only is he a criminal and creepy, he is also 71. But maybe he was in some email groups that got more information than he needed.
It doesn't bother me that news agencies haven't published anything yet. The internet is big and the bad actors will find a place to post this shit. I'm cool with it being in September or October. I am curious if the Harris campaign received a copy and has a plan of attack once they are published. I don't think Stone's lifestyle will be a big issue. I don't think there will be much directly from the campaign. But, you know Stone is saying racist shit. You know he is shit talking about interest groups and public figures (Republican and Democrats) in ways that would be embarrassing.
For the Podesta hack, there really wasn't much there that was interesting. The right wing media had to really twist and pull shit out of context. I have a vague recollection to a reference to Bill Richardson and Latino voting blocks that may have been indelicate. I think it got conflated with Hillary's State emails (which were never hacked as far as we know) and so it added to the cloud of confusion and caused additional damage. (And of course the Pizza-gaters found all sorts of pasta-related hidden codes.)
