Yes, their email was hacked or leaked. Either way, the DNC a private non-government organization is guilty of poor data security and hopefully they learned their lesson. Now it's doubtful that Podesta's emails being made public had much of any impact on the election, but I understand the DNC, the leftist media and other loyalists trying to point the finger elsewhere because it was an embarrassing situation and this group of people isn't known for taking responsibility for their actions or failures to secure things.
