FBI move in on Hillary leaks: Agents probe who hacked Democratic emails (truncated)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | 07/25/2016 | Associated Press

Donald Trump on Monday dismissed as a 'joke' claims by Hillary Clinton's campaign that Russia is trying to help Trump by leaking thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee.

'The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should have never been written (stupid), because Putin likes me,' Trump wrote as part of a series of Tweets. 'Hillary was involved in the e-mail scandal because she is the only one with judgement (sic) so bad that such a thing could have happened.'

The hacking enraged die-hard Sanders supporters who have long claimed that the DNC had its finger on the scale throughout the primaries.

The disclosures prompted the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the eve of the party's convention in Philadelphia, where Clinton is expected to officially accept the nomination for president.

It wasn't immediately clear how WikiLeaks received copies of the internal Democratic emails, though a hacker who calls himself 'Guccifer 2.0' has taken credit for passing the DNC's documents along.

Among them, one exchange shows DNC Chief Financial Officer Brad Marshall floating the idea that Sanders religious beliefs, or lack thereof, could boost Clinton's standing in Kentucky and West Virginia.

The FBI said Monday it is investigating how thousands of Democratic National Committee emails were hacked, a breach that Hillary Clinton's campaign maintains was committed by Russia to benefit Donald Trump.

A statement from the FBI confirmed that it is 'investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC,' adding that 'a compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously.'

Wikileaks posted emails Friday that suggested the DNC was favoring Clinton over her rival Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary season, prompting Clinton's campaign to point to a massive hacking of DNC computers in June that cybersecurity firms linked to the Russian government.

Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta added fuel to the debate Monday, saying there was 'a kind of bromance going on' between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump.

The Clinton campaign says Russia favors Trump's views, especially on NATO.

Prediction that the FBI will crack this case before the convention is over.

Count on this “probe” to be as disingenuous as Comey’s Clinton investigation.

Hillary’s private server full of TS and SCI national secrets... Not so much.

Head of FBI is on board of directors for a bank that is a huge clinton foundation donor. Of course FBI will do all it can to protect hillary and the DNC.

Democrat excuse from 2008-2015 = Bush’s fault

Democrat excuse for 2016 - Trump’s faultNo

Nothing is ever the fault of the Democrats.

Ah, what’s the big deal? Surely, whoever hacked the server didn’t mean to do anything wrong.

Or didn’t know any better.

Or there was nothing marked-as classified at the time it was hacked.

Or something...

Any emails from the FBI director or Attorney General or Civil Rights division of the Justice Department in the mix?

By the end of the week, once the media gets its story straight, this will be a story of evil Trump and evil Putin conspiring to commit this crime.

So how much is hitlery and the DNC paying comey and lynch to find a perp “aka: patsy”.

I have no faith in the FBI or the DOJ to perform their duties.

None.

If Trump wins it, one of the first things he should do is abolish the FBI and DOJ. They are corrupt beyond all repair.

So what is more disgusting?
DNC emails and contents?
DNC inability to create a secure server?
Hillary’s private server and gross negligence?
Or the fact the DNC staff was an extension of the Hillary campaign?

You can bet Obama and Lynch have made this the highest priority of the FBI. They will move heaven and earth to get the answer.

Gotta change the story line from the content to the evil folks who walked into the house because the door was open. And they’re gonna have the mom of an armed robber on stage at their convention touting his skills.

**A statement from the FBI confirmed that it is ‘investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC,’ adding that ‘a compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously.’**

But moving classified emails via a homemade network it just fine.

Panic and flailing about. Timing will probably have a release by Assange after she wins the vote and just before the speech.

Let's see: Comey couldn't find anything about all Hillary's emails, so she ok....

Some link comes out that shows that DNC knew about this in leaked emails and now they are going after Putin and Trump?

If Clinton is ok, so is Putin and Trump, you can't have it both ways, and if you want war people, find Putin and Trump not ok and you will have it...and guaranteed that Barky and his over stuffed FBI will lose!!!

Typical DNC/Alinsky tactics. Just like the hidden camera videos about abortion clinics selling body parts became more about “illegally taping”. Just like Lewinsky trying to get Linda Tripp to commit perjury was really about Tripp’s betrayal of Monica’s “friendship”.
