CNN's Chris Cuomo lectured his viewers on Sunday that he and other journalists have the right to possess the stolen WikiLeaks emails, but you regular folks can't.
Of course, he's wrong. There's something called the First Amendment. WikiLeaks called out the anchor's untrue assertion on Twitter.

On Sunday, WikiLeaks released the ninth batch of Hillary Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta's emails. Please, read away.
