I look at it this way though:

2. Are some of the emails fake and can be disproven? Do it.
3. Are some of the emails real? Hopefully in conjunction with point 1, go after the fact that there is another instance of illegally obtained political ammo by the same group of people.

Sure, it's an alt-right fantasy, but like 40% of US voters buy that stuff now. If you read the right's opinion on "RussiaHoax" etc, this stuff is starting to get incredibly out of hand, and I don't think censorship is going to cause that 40% number to shrink, which should be the real goal.

If nearly half your population is easily manipulated by foreign actors, you have a major, major issue. Sure the good (not as bad?) guys will win the election, but you're still going to have a mess of a country.
What good will that do? Then they'll just come up with the next outlandish lie you'd have to prove wrong. I don't think Biden should give this the time of day. It's already falling flat on its face and you aren't going to convince the dopes it's not true so why waste your breath?
