The DNCs emails werent only hacked, they were edited: report

12. It would be impossible ...

... to fabricate thousands of emails without being detected immediately.

Do you think I could fabricate even two dozen emails you allegedly sent without being detected immediately? My fake emails wouldn’t match your usual email writing style, the things you would be emailing about at any given time. Now imagine thousands of emails being faked without detection by the alleged sender – followed by proof that they couldn’t have sent a particular message at the time the “fake” was dated and time-stamped.

How do “make up” email chit-chat? “Did you enjoy our lunch yesterday? What do you think about that meeting this morning? Did your sister have her baby yet?”

Had all the emails been faked, they could have been debunked within hours.

Obviously, the more persuasive tack would be to have actual emails and then edit some of them after the fact. We know this was done because when people started poring over the released emails, some of them were found to be duplicates – one as originally sent, and one edited – the originals having been (mistakenly, I’m sure) included in the batch released.

You seem to think this is an “either/or” situation – either the emails were all faked, or they were all legitimate. That is simply not the case.
