No, the larger issue would still be a foreign power attempting to influence an American election by illegal means. That doesn't actually stop becoming illegal or an issue of national security because one doesn't like the party being targeted.

In particular Assange and Wikileaks. He publicly supported the claim it was the DNC and every day it looks like Wikileaks was just being used as an information laundering service for the Russians.

So let’s see you publish your inbox then. What are you suggesting, that attempts to hack the Secretary of State go unanswered?

One could indict every major world power for foreign election interference. Laws are meaningless if no one follows them.

To put it another way, evidence brought forward in a court of law supposedly has limits placed on how the evidence can be obtained.
