I just lost a detailed outline of what I considered some of the most interesting hacked email revelations, darn it.
I'll just give paraphrased highlights of those topics and post the links instead.
CLINTON CAMPAIGN -- HACKED EMAIL CONTENTS
1. Emails provide lots of evidence that the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz did everything they could to help Clinton get the Dem nomination over Bernie Sanders.
2. Emails show that Cinton and company struggled with how to address Sanders' allegations that she was cozy with Wall Street and that her message to the bankers in private was different from what she was saying to voters (confirmed to be true by hacked Wall Street Speech transcripts).
3. Emails show that a couple of Clinton advisers and surrogates wanted her to stop being misleading or false in comments about Sanders, his records, and his allegations. They instead recommended she align more closely with his stances (which she did).
4. Emails show campaign struggled with how to best address and position the private email server controversy and that Clinton's announcement of opposition to Keystone Pipeline was timed to distract from server media coverage.
5. Emails show that Clinton and company were initially most concerned about Jeb! and Rubio and hoped to see one of the more extreme and weaker Republican candidates get the nod. They wanted to see those candidates be treated by the media as serious contenders who kinda define the GOP (in my opinion: to exploit and open up the divisions within the party and increase the likelihood of the Dems taking back the Senate and maybe the House). The preferences were Trump, Carson, or Cruz (who were referred to as the "Pied Pipers").
It's looking like Clinton forecasted well and got exactly what she wanted in terms of Republican opponent and implosion of the GOP.
