More interesting is how the emails leaked out. When the leak occurred, the DNC and government officials said that Russian hackers were to blame. On Sunday, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook went on ABC’s This Week and repeated the allegation.

“What's disturbing about this entire situation is that experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the DNC, took all these emails and now are leaking them out through these Web sites …. for the purpose of helping Donald Trump,” he said. Mook also questioned whether the emails had been “doctored.”

If I were in a position to know the emails were doctored, I wouldn't say a word, because my future would depend entirely upon my silence. This is a counterintelligence investigation, and accomplices in espionage cases are punished according to the high crime itself. Punishment can include life in prison.

The DNC has not denied that any of these emails are authentic. They have the originals. If there was a difference they would haave pointed it out instead of apologizing.
