I have to modify my recent post. I meant Instagram being used as a means of disinformation. Reference story here. Note that when "IRA" is mentioned in that article it refers to an innocuous sounding "Internet Research Agency" but it's a Russian hacking group, according to the article.

Hillary was not a perfect candidate, but prior to the election she'd been identified as the most likely Democratic candidate for 2016 and savagely attacked with anything that might 'stick to the wall.' The Benghazi fantasies flew far and wide and never really made much sense, but they were unrelenting. As for email. It was just email.

On the other hand, the story of how her campaign manager John Podesta got his email account penetrated with a fairly stupid ploy is pretty outrageous. Falling for that and not getting wise to it rapidly is a dumb low-level fail.
