Theres no evidence that shows that the outcome of the election was changed because of a couple dozen John Podesta emails that were out there.The number of leaked emails by Podesta, Hillary Clintons campaign manager, was actually closer to tens of thousands. And itd be difficult to prove exactly what influenced voters.Democrats said the hack was a personal attack and a threat to democracy.The emails were weaponized, said Donna Brazile, interim chair of the Democratic National Committee. The committees emails were also hacked and publicly exposed.
