Podesta's Password was password

John Podesta's Password was 'password.'

 Julian Assange trolled John Podesta in his sit-down interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday. Assange said that a 14 year old could have hacked the DNC e-mails because his password was the word ‘password.’

There has to be more to this story than we know.  This has to be the "look at this" story to distract us from whatever real story "they" don't want us to see.  How could anyone be so careless - let alone John Podesta - to use the password of 'password'?

Something else is going on behind the scenes here, I'm not sure what - but this password story must be a public "misdirect" from a bigger story that's not being covered.  (And no, I don't mean Comet Pizza.  Or maybe I do, I don't know).  

The question is:  what is the "something else"?
