His emails were definitely hacked, either via one of the many connected devices he discusses losing or via that password reset email. Was convinced when I read the late chain talking about enhancing the login security on the Gmail account just as the mails cut off. Question is who hacked him and did they know what they were doing at the time. Strange to hack him then only take the inbox not the sent emails.

I'm not convinced this was even noticed by the hacker until after the fact cause they missed the chance to get podestas own words. That or they still have them
