It’s highly unlikely that any of the actions alluded to in the emails actually swayed the results of the primaries. Still, this was an embarrassing episode for the Democratic party on the eve of a historic nomination–the first time a major American political party has nominated a woman for the top office in the land.
Unfortunately, in all the media hype some of the key lessons may be lost on the public:
- If you can’t say something nice in email, don’t say it. Email is forever.
- Presume what you say will be made public and used against you in the court of public opinion. The truth will out, sooner or later.
- There is no such thing as hack-proof systems. Given the right tools and motivation, any of our confidential communications might be made public at any time.
