Law School Students EXPOSED In WikiLeaks Dump!

Time for a congressional investigation?

That said, this all depends on what you think “exposed” means. Obviously the names, correspondence, and work of a number of law students are now out there in the public. But like a lot of the WikiLeaks archive of John Podesta’s emails ranging from possible confirmation of dirty tricks everyone already suspected to banging risotto recipes, the latest emails may “expose” folks, but they aren’t so much scandalous unless you really, really get off on term papers.

In the Spring 2014 term, John Podesta co-taught, with Judge Richard Leon, a course on congressional investigations at the Georgetown University Law Center. As one might suspect in a class taught by adjunct faculty, final papers were emailed to the professors, which means they’re now public fodder thanks to Russia WikiLeaks!

Here’s a sample email with student identifying information redacted because when it comes to the innocent bystanders of leaked information, we’re not insensitive dicks living in an Ecuadorian embassy like some people:

I’m betting Judge Leon, who has had a professional snit over Hillary Clinton withholding emails, is less than enthusiastic to find these documents from the inner workings of the Clinton apparatus see the light of day!

But it’s just one more reminder for law students — everything’s out there now, so be careful before your final exam turns into fodder for international espionage.
