I do think that if Hillary doesn't speak to this today, people will assume she's guilty though.
With normal people, if you are accused of being a criminal, they expect you to deny it pronto.
Through internal discussions, we concluded that it was in our interest to: 1) limit the number of debates (and the number in each state); 2) start the debates as late as possible; 3) keep debates out of the busy window between February 1 and February 27, 2016 (Iowa to South Carolina); 4) create a schedule that would allow the later debates to be cancelled if the race is for practical purposes over; 5) encourage an emphasis on local issues and local media participants in the debate formats; and 6) ensure a format that provides equal time for all candidates and does not give the moderator any discretion to focus on one candidate.
Through discussion of these goals with the DNC their current plan is to begin a debate schedule that would commence in early October, with one debate a month, one each in the early primary and caucus states, and the remaining 2 post South Carolina (we will need to push them to post March 1 and then the later 2 debates would be cancelled if the race ends). The DNC's current plan is to release the attached press release (which lacks this specificity but confirms the number and start window for the debates). The other campaigns have advocated (not surprisingly) for more debates and for the schedule to start significantly earlier. Mo and Anita believe that this announcement prior to the actual entry into the race of other candidates will strengthen their hand as they lock a schedule in with local media partners and state parties.

Nice analogy, hopefully these releases will continue between now and November 8th, and maybe if we're really lucky we'll get a nice Halloween bonus that will scare even those above the Clintons in the power structure.
Here's some 'debate talk,' for Clinton supporters:

And you also have to remember that there is some deliberate disinfo included within the leaks. all of the garbage about aliens etc. is meant to act as obfuscation to the larger issues of what Hillary and her team get up to when they think no one is observing them.
It's called plausible deniability and gives them a small amount of wiggle room in which to assert the "leaks have been tampered with or are bogus to begin with,' argument. That wiggle room is all some need to be able to brush off the entirety of the release.
Watch how one silly poster does it in nearly all of these threads.

Bill sexually assaulted his 3rd cousin when she was babysitting Chelsea. Oh my,,even family members weren't safe from this creep.
I wonder how old she was at the time.
