Can you talk to me like I'm a kindergartner and explain what this is? I'm confused.

So, a random link appears on 8chan. I see leak and whether it's good information or not I take a look. Several thousand email correspondents from General Robert Otto. He's in charge of the department of state intelligence on Russia. (Interesting link - http://futurefastforward.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fake-News-By-US-State-Department-General-Otto-And-Russian.pdf ). Anyway, the emails all seem to be scrubbed, passwords changed, very little personal detail (except a vin number for his car, which would be easy enough to locate). All of the emails are less than classified. Whole lot of russian chatter (you know, like being on voat and sifting through random good or bad articles). Ultimately, a useless dump other than it seems like this guy was a big pusher of the Russian narrative.

Admittedly, it does look like Putin is the Hillary on that end, but I don't really understand that much of Russian history, and he may just be having to play political games and killing spies and traitors. Do not know.

Thx. Appreciate the summary. Off topic, but what's the difference between 4chan and 8chan and pleb? I frequent 4chan but don't fully understand everything yet

Functionally, nothing. It's like the difference between here and Reddit. Not a lot of functional difference, but the mods and users behave differently.
