Sounds very odd to even mention having basis for something or not when it comes to murdering someone. Makes a lot more sense if they're talking about non-lethal consequences for someone.

Again though, I don't comprehend English all that good [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
The email suggests that the one who wrote it (John Podesta) may have conspired to murder ("make an example of") the "suspected leaker." It's not suggesting that the suspected leaked was a murderer. It is suggesting he may have been murdered by the one who wrote the email.

I get that that is the interpretation [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just don't get that information out of the e-mail. Of course it's easy to make it fit the narrative. DNC suspected of murdering leakers? Someone mentions making an example of leakers? BAM!

The way it's worded, actually says something else to me.

"We should kill that guy we suspect as a leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it".... that just doesn't gel in my ears (eyes?).

that's literally what the email says. except switch "kill" for "teach a lesson" which is american english slang for killing or roughing up someone.

also he died not too long after this.

Drain the swamp is probably the single greatest unofficial campaign slogan of any presidential campaign ever.

"I'm a Dole Man" song doesn't come close.

Should Trump have made "Drain the swamp" the official slogan from day 1? I guess he couldn't because we hadn't established the corruption yet.

Maybe I made the mistake of making a joke about my English. It's just fine.


Xaanka, it does not mention Seth Rich. Seth Rich was killed this year. The e-mails of concern were 1 year and 5 months before.

It doesn't say teach a lesson, it's says 'make an example of'. I am aware of what teaching someone a lesson means. It's not an obscure phrase and I don't live under a bridge covered by the arctic ice fields.

I find that the phrasing of the sentence in question:

"I'm definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it"

actually becomes very odd once you take it to be about murder.

Example 1: "I'm definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker".

Ignoring the fact I personally require a little more proof, even if it's just circumstantial, the sentence does not become odd if you take it to be about killing.

"I'm definitely for killing a suspected leaker". Perfectly comfortable wording.

Now add that little extra to the end [[[[[[ THE POINT OF MY POST IS HERE ]]]]]:

"I'm definitely for killing a suspected leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it".

That does not make sense any more.

"Gosh, Robby I'm cool with murdering and stuff but only if we have a real basis!" "But John of course! We're all about that! First we check if we have a real basis for killing, to make sure it's a moral killing, and only then do we proceed".

It makes plenty of sense

"We are going to kill this guy who we think might be a leaker, even if he isn't a leaker"
all they're saying is that they're going to kill the guy anyway, whether he is a leaker or not, just in case.
