Not particularly significant, they''re 1% of the population, most of which in solid blue states
Just so much amazing stuff coming out via wikileaks. Newest batch shows that Chelsea Clinton paid for her wedding with funds from the Clinton Foundation..
The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents....
I hope that you will speak to her and end this Once we go down this road....

You couldn't even bother to copy and paste the while thing, could you? The email isn't about that. It is about the WSJ receiving what they believe to be false claims that the Clintons used the funds for the wedding. And they are discussing setting the record straight.
The not smart part is referencing people talking about the investigation.

Apparently, a Republican with a "Republicans Against Trump" sign was in the crowd during a Trump rally, people around that protester booed at him and wanted to get him thrown out so they screamed that he had a gun (he didn't), Trump was hustled offstage for a few minutes, then everyone realized that the whole thing was bullshit and Trump came back out. Afterwards, Trump's kids and campaign managers started lying about an assassination attempt. What the hell is wrong with Trump supporters and Trump's campaign? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/06/trump-hustled-offstage-in-nevada-after-security-scare-returns-shortly-thereafter.html
Well, clicking that was a mistake. I should have figured that by 'front page of reddit' you meant the_donald. That's probably the most unsubtle propaganda video I've seen in months.

I thought the not smart was referencing "cvc and bari" - whom I assume is Chelsea Victoria Clinton and Bari Lurie.
EDIT: And from what I gather they are talking about the internal workings of the foundation and not the investigation. But then again, with so little context it's rather worthless to guess.

It is one of my biggest complaints about these leaked emails. That wikileaks is editing them down to remove a lot of the context or follow up. It is hard to even talk about them since people can see exactly what they want. And that part is intentional by wikileaks.
Meh I think it has more to do with people working closely together writing short emails because the receiving part knows whats up. You wouldn't understand what I was talking with my mentor about if you merely read my emails. There are legitimate criticisms of Wikileaks, but you can hardly fault them for this.

Sure but wikileaks takes the extra step of making the emails look even shittier.
We have to remember that some people read a Podesta email from March 2nd about needing to dump emails and assume he's talking about deleting emails...that were deleted 3 months ago...rather than Clinton's statement three days later about saying she would allow the FBI to show all her emails to the public.
Of course, if people believed journalists weren't all in on some sinister conspiracy, this would be immediately obvious in an article discussing the emails. But alas, we live in a world where thinking about something for more than half a second is forbidden if it changes your preconceived viewpoint. At least they've cried wolf so much that nobody outside their bubble gives a shit anymore.
wikileaks is obviously pushing a conspiratorial worldview. they are not serious about the truth just agitprop.
there is a significant portion of the far left that think bringing ruin onto america will lead to good things.
it will not, and it is highly irresponsible in ignoring the fiduciary duty of government for all the people. political power is not just power, it is a set of responsibility and a relation of trust. lying to the american people while plotting their destruction is not just, no matter how evil you conceive of corporate america or the upper middle class.

Fiduciary ruin? Are you making the case that the far left plots the end of corporate power and the upper middle class and moreover counts it as just? I'm still a little confused.
I wonder whether politicians will feel comfortable brazenly lying as much in 2020 as they did in this election (pretty much everyone made some easily disprovable statements, though Trump takes the cake in any metric I've seen).
It's something when you can outright lie about both how another person treated a protester and then lie about how a protester at your own event was actually an assassin and no one cares, and have 0 repercussions because fuck holding humans to standards.
