There is no real defense against this invasion of privacy. If you are not guilty but don't want your private emails made public and fight - people assume you are guilty. If you turn over your personal emails you expose yourself to all kinds of trivial unfounded attacks and information being used improperly and out of context.
This is also a tactic that can be used as a "fishing" exhibition. Again, a political party not really having any evidence but will use personal emails in an attempt to get something. I don't like this because I believe in our Constitution - the part where people are presumed innocent. I think people have a right to privacy and should not be exposed to undue searches and seizures. I even think politicians have a right to privacy, regardless of party. Again, I thought the intrusion into Bill Clinton's private affairs ( pardon the pun) was wrong.
