Lots of people here weighing in with their 2c about the authenticity of the data, but why is everyone arguing about this?

Sure, we the technologically savvy people have the means to verify the digital authenticity of these files/emails/documents. But we don't have access to them (and likely won't). So we can't actually claim one way or the other for sure until we do.



"We have VERY damaging information about the presidential candidate surfacing days before the election in outlandish circumstances but it's not available for forensic review/got lost in the mail."

Yes, we can't be 100% sure that these things are fake but it strains credulity to believe them.
