I think people should be allowed to have an opinion on who their party's nominee is. Yes, the process should be as fair as possible and it was, but of course the individual members of party leadership are going to have opinions... and when you have only two candidates and one isn't a real member of the party, it's understandable that the other one got most of the support from party insiders. But seriously, there was nothing significant in those emails. And yes, the fact that Russia was releasing them to damage Hillary IS important.
While Trump... well, things keep getting worse and worse for his administration almost by the day, and it sure is nice to see things move so fast against him!
But to really get to your point, I guess that I'd say that like many things, leaking information isn't always good or always bad. Sometimes it's one and sometimes it's the other, depending on context. We need people willing to whistleblow critical information, but intelligence operations leaking info specifically to damage one candidate are very different from that, I'm sure we all agree.
