Pop quiz, hotshot: You’re an influential media figure in the political arena. Iranian hackers contact you to hand off intel about a candidate you detest. (Or Russian hackers, North Korean hackers, Columbia U hackers … choose your own betes noires.) Do you wonder whether you’re being played by malevolent foreign governments, or do you just hit ‘publish’?
Ken Klippenstein chose Door Number 2, and one has to suspect that a lot of media hotshots would have done the same. But he has an explanation for it!

I disagree. The dossier has been offered to me and I’ve decided to publish it because it’s of keen public interest in an election season. It’s a 271-page research paper the Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. As far as I can tell, it hasn’t been altered, but even if it was, its contents are publicly verifiable. I’ll let it speak for itself. …
If the document had been hacked by some “anonymous” like hacker group, the news media would be all over it. I’m just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government, doing its work combatting foreign influence. Nor should it be a gatekeeper of what the public should know.
That sounds very high-minded. And to be honest, it could be, but … one suspects that this was at best a secondary motivation for this decision. In fairness, it’s tough to say whether any other journalist would choose Door Number One, at least on a consistent basis. Reportedly, some media outlets did refuse to publish it; the Biden-Harris campaign(s?) chose to ignore it too, at least until now.
