Truncated title.

Full title: Dems brace for bad news as FBI indicates ‘more than 100 party officials and groups’ have been hacked by Russians

The FBI has started briefing Congress on what it knows about the hack of the DNC emails, blaming Russia. While those Dems still feeding media hysteria that Trump committed treason by inviting disclosure of Hillary’s 33,000 deleted emails “if they have them” would regard this a good news, there was some absolutely terrible news for them. Eric Lichtbau and Eric Schmitt of the New York Times report:

A Russian cyberattack that targeted Democratic politicians was bigger than it first appeared and breached the private email accounts of more than 100 party officials and groups, officials with knowledge of the case said Wednesday.

Democrats spin WikiLeaks as Russian hacks.

They are more likely leaks by insiders.

There is no investigation into dead DNC employees.

No wonder a bunch of DNC people suddenly resigned after the first leak was announced. They knew what was coming.

“A Russian cyberattack that targeted Democratic politicians “

Zero proof what so ever, yet everyone keeps saying the Russians hacked it as if it’s Gospel.

The vector for any breach is not described. An earlier article (like three weeks ago) described a phony website, where duped users would voluntarily give up their id and password. I wonder if this “hacking” is likewise a phishing exploit.

The media says the Dems are more computer literate than are Republicans. Maybe they thought so.

Seth Rich may have been busier than we know so far.
We need to make sure he did not die in vain.

It's possible that Seth Rich--a DNC staffer who was killed under very suspicious circumstances--had the "master keys" to many server machines used by the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton's campaign office, allied political action committees, the offices of many mainstream media news outlets, and possibly even the Clinton Foundation. Before Rich was killed, the information he pilfered from all these servers were stored on a portable hard drive and uploaded--possibly through a difficult-to-detect "dark net" connection--so Julian Assange could download it.

As such, Assange completely knows the entire modus operandi of the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, allied PAC's, allied MSM news organizations and even the Clinton Foundation. That type of information--if fully released--would permanently damage the reputation not only of the Democratic Party, but possibly the entire field of journalism itself.
