Inspired by a (now deleted) post, I searched the Podesta files for "password" - and found John was very, very sloppy with his passwords. He not only used real words, but he also did not store them safely somewhere, so he repeatedly asked his staff what a special password of his was.
We all know he has changed his email, but his user names and passwords might still be valid for certain sites! It might be worthwile to check them all out because he has probably registered with many websites and may not remember all of them. Here is one example (login data not valid anymore, though):

It may also be valid to search HRC emails for "password".

Been and done how do you think his twitter account got hacked! :D he turned on two factor authentication for Gmail so one password would not do it anymore.
Some others were tested and worked but the twitter hack was ultimate validation they were legit when they started dropping

Using real words has nothing to do with password strength. https://xkcd.com/936/

In a dictionary attack it has everything to do with it.

I've flaired this as IMPORTANT because if there are actual working passwords to be found, they need to be found and used as soon as possible.
However, do NOT announce it here if you find a working password! Instead, use it to sign in, archive everything you possibly can (archive.is, screenshots, local copies, etc.), and then announce it while simultaneously posting your findings, so that others can immediately verify and make further archives if necessary. Remember, when you tell us about a working password, you're telling them, too. Make sure to stay safe, using someone else's login credentials is highly illegal.
(@sensitive, you might want to add this warning to your post.)

"Droga's children" - "drogas" is Spanish for drugs. Drugs and chidren.
DOH!

This is the email link. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/54060 I think your search may have not worked because the author put "children" in actual quotation marks. (Cripes, for all I know they refer to hot dogs as children and children as hot dogs. . . . )
On another creepy note, searching for the term "CHILDREN" (in quotation marks) also yields a lot of results, seen here: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/?q=%22children%22&mfrom=&mto=&title=¬itle=&date_from=&date_to=&nofrom=¬o=&count=200&sort=6#searchresult.

Update. I put in just PW: (the letters "PW" followed by a colon) without any other parameters and a ton of emails came up.

Hijacking top comment to point out it It is highly illegal to use someone's passwords to lg into their accounts without authorization. Remember the kid who got jail time for doing this to Sarah Palin.

Yup, good point. I sure would never use anyone's password or even attempt to hack. All I did was point out that in the emails these people are sharing passwords, denoted by PW. It's careless and probably a violation of their own workplace policies (and possibly the law) to be passing out passwords to other people in their emails.
SecondAmendment ago
SEARCH FOR THE ABBREVIATION "PW," rather than just the word "password," because they use that to share passwords.
Here is an example, an email that refers to a film and mentions "Droga's 'children'" (with the word children in quotes). It contains a link to a file and states that the PW is "sunday": https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/54060
It was sent from Podesta to several and says, among other things:
Team – > > Please find here an updated link of spots. Note: some of these spots still need final mix and Droga’s “children”
A second email (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/51605)) says:
Tina — Hope you’re doing well. Here is a link to the first cut of the film. We’ve submitted this to Sundance and if it is selected, we have about three months to edit it into a final product. I’d love for the President to see it and let me know what he thinks. Thanks so much.

"Final Mix on spots" is commercial post production lingo. I think Droga may refer to Droga5 ad agency. They are talking about putting the right audio mix on the final version of their "spots" aka tv commercials.
It very well just could be a commercial called "children".

"Drogas" is Spanish for drugs.. drugs and children.
Sometimes it's so simple, it would bite you on the bum if it were a mosquito.

Should we open the vimeo video? Anyway, someone did and it's called "C-r/a/s--h/i/ng /Th/e P-a-r/ty /092-31-5" (minus the slashes and such).. so it would appear to have a date connected to it. Also it has 250 views. Hope this helps someone, I don't have time to pursuit this. EDIT: Oddity: on that exact date the pope visited the White House.

I have never seen someone so sloppy and inexperienced with passwords! Unless someone has by now taken over ALL of his login data on the net, he may have improved only a little bit. **Meaning: He might use the same or similar user names and passwords after all, maybe simply using them for different websites now. **

Haven't checked any of these just adding the ones that come up in case others want to look. This one above is for something called McCain Hub?

That is a message regarding the 2008 election against J. Mccain I believe. Discussing ads or strategy

sorry man, doesn't work. I tried this when the email originally came out lol
sensitive ago
That's why I wrote "login data not valid anymore" - it was just one of many examples.
OleHickry ago
ah, my bad for reading over that and looking like an idiot haha
sensitive ago
No problem at all :-) After all, I may well be the idiot since people have probably tried this route long before I mentioned it today ... But - one never knows!

Maybe one of those people who had to tell him his password is the leaker.
