Snopes is no longer a credible source of information.

It's just more insane political ramblings from bisjac and tony, trying to make sense of it is mind-frying

This was tweeted right when the far-right corners of the internet were going crazy with the conspiracy that Clinton supposedly had an earpiece during one of the earlier democratic debates. Just as an example of the effect this had, places like /r/HillaryForPrison, /r/The_Donald and others used this to further justify their hatred for her despite the fact that this never happened.
Not only does it say state.goy (not suspicious at all), not only is the date 2009, but the context of the conversation was that she was going to the UN. Wikileaks, just like almost every other news organization out there, read the headline of some conspiracy theorists blog, didn't check it even slightly, and then published it. They are not perfect, don't try to make them out to be.
Bisjac:
that is a direct real email. a real proven email that exists.
you said wikileaks is pushing its agenda. Wikileaks didnt seem to say anything at all.

an irrelevant email posted during the height of a controversy surrounding her wearing an earpiece during a debate, specifically to mislead people into thinking that was true even though it was proven not to be.
