The documents provide some insight into how the DNC handled high-profile donation scandals. But the choice of documents revealed to The Hill also provides insight into the enigmatic Guccifer 2.0.

The DNC responded by assembling files to gauge the exposure from Hsu to its slate of candidates.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
