Question

A website that publishes leaked documents posts the contents of the Yahoo email account of a candidate for president during the election campaign.

(a) Describe some types of things that might be among the leaked documents that would be valuable to opponents of the candidate.
(b) Describe some things that might be among the leaked documents that could hurt a campaign but do not indicate any wrongdoing.
(c) Devise standards for the ethics of posting the contents of the account that you would be comfortable with no matter whether you support or oppose the candidate.

Answer 1

a Hilary Clinton broke government rules while being secretary of state

b the way the Clinton Campaign was organized

c Private versus official life.

Step-by-step explanation:

a H. Clinton was exclusively operating a private server from her upstate New York home while she was secretary of state.

b The wiki leaks emails show a Clinton campaign structure functioning in the most secret way in which there was no freedom (of speech) whatsover and where staff people were walking on eggs the whole time.

c This is not an easy one. I would say that private affairs and personal life should be respected at all times. Unless the private life interferes, or is mixed up, with the public and the official one in a frauduleus or criminal way.

It may be worth noting that the legal case against J. A. is not based on his official actions as the central figure of Wiki Leaks but on his personal life.
