Whether it was an inside job or not he was still a hacker. What employer lets their employees read and copy other employee’s emails?

If they CC’d everyone on the e-mail list, all he’d have to do is not delete them. After all, it was assumed that they were all in on it.

Might have been someone involved with the FOIA requests?

So, information that was paid for by public taxes, ergo public domain, and should have been released via the FOIA requests, released by one of them, at one time, is worthy of prosecution? What ever happened to the evidence itself that he revealed that shows criminal activity, ignore that to what end?

“Whether it was an inside job or not he was still a hacker.”

The point is that Boxer see’s “hacker” as criminal, “insider” is a whistle-blower, something that Dem’s don’t mind ala the CIA secrets revealed in the NYT’s. No outcry from them about this....but “hacker”? Don’t fuel the fire for Boxer.

What if those emails were part of a emailing list and the person who has exposed this was on that emailing list ?

I don't know for sure but I thought I read somewhere that the file that was leaked was actually a file that had been requested by a FOI request but not released, or something along those lines. Anyway, as I understand it the file was all in one place and just copied and released.
