It may be bad for MSDNC.
Further it's more than likely Obama started to use this information along with every other database he started connecting together to spy on and have an affect on citizens live at an individual level - rewarding supporters, harassing squelching opponents.
It goes on and on but it all comes down to knowing and controlling everything about society. They got sloppy - there are logs of their activity using the computers that have access to this sensitive shiznit
The linchpin is the Clintons.

Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers
Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed yes to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podestas accounts.
ITEM <><> The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to
reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. snip
ITEM <><> Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because theyre informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillarys bidding the whole time.
ITEM <><> Hillary frequently used the Democrats' "wrap-up smear."......leaking false info about her opponent to the media. When the obedient press published the smear, Hillary would wave it around indicating she was the superior candidate.
