It is all predicate on how you want to view the message he wanted discussion to be about. It wasn't his actions at all that he wanted people to focus on. Had he created real damage, then his message would be ignored. So focus on his message, not his actions.
But we need to know if they were really his emails. If they were sent after Dec 29th (and I believe they were sent on Dec 31st), then they are emails crafted by whoever changed his Signal info, and reflect what THAT PERSON/AGENCY wants us to think he said.
That’s why we first need to find out who changed his Signal info on Dec 29th and then again on Jan 1st after he was already dead.
