If Hillary's emails got out I think we almost certainly would have found out by now.

Also, if we're talking Snowden, you could make the argument Hillary's emails were more secure since they weren't accessible to...Snowden.

The Russians will wait until the right moment to leak them. Maybe a week or two before the election.

What would they get out of that? Not a Trump presidency.

Trump and Putin actually seem to have a very good relationship and have spoken positively about each other. Trump winning could legitimately foster a new era of better relationships with Russia.

Hillary would probably be the opposite.

What Putin says, largely for domestic consumption, and what he truly feels, are, I quite strongly suspect, rather different things.

Adam Curtis has touched on this, in "Bitter Lake" IIRC. Recommended. (BBC video documentary -- this bit comes early on.)
