re: 2016 Presidential Election: Trump vs Clinton

I don't think it deserves a new thread nor do I want to ask the foil hats on the Poli board but regarding the emails, how much validity is there? Point blank, are they real? I have no idea, I'm not tech suave but how exactly does one retrieve a deleted email? Maybe they didn't empty their trash can? I mean that's a legit question right? How do we know wiki leaks isn't a fraud?
