Deep Throat’s advice still holds true: “Follow the money.” Given that the records of all three candidates were breeched, I suspect this was trolling for something juicy that could be sold to an opponent or to the press.

And it’d surprise me if there was much in any of the files. Hillary and George have been too visible for too long to have any travel secrets. Obama has been too insignificant until very recently for some high-ranking international thug to have courted him.

And in this case the other common rule in such matters, never call conspiracy what can be explained by stupidity, doesn’t seem likely.
