The point of espionage is to get information and hurt the other side. They thought whoever did this was trying to hurt them. That is far from it. All we were trying to do is show the public that while we elect these officials to govern our country, we should not put this much trust into them. And when you have a first hand look into these dealings, these lies, you figure out how much the government is really hiding from the public. There is everything from secrets within presidential campaigns to the edge we have on the most recent war. Someone is bound to figure out what is happening, and someone is bound to tell someone else. That's how humans are, we see something is bad and we either want to fix it or exploit it. Especially when we created some of the problems. So, what's the harm in doing both. That's why we're in this mess, that's why the government is in this mess.
