If the truth is put out there, it will be considered by the public. Whether one wants to try to say it is unfair (I don't think that it is though) doesn't matter. It's a reality.
The leaks that are most important are not of the type you describe - the DNC, Podesta, and Clinton are not denying that they are true. They bare the URL's of the people and they are indisputable. So there isn't any unfair portrayals - it's their own words.
The fact that they reveal that the DNC has been subverting the political system illegally and unethically puts them in violation of the first paragraph of your post here -It turns out that these politicians are posing a domestic threat to the constitution. We can certainly deal with Putin for his various actions, but I expected more from my own government.
Regarding my candidates: No, I have no problems with these politicians having to answer for any private email that would offend the American public, regardless of the source.
