U.S. Democratic Party says it was hacked again, blames Russians (WIKILEAKS Strikes Again!!!)
Reuters ^ | September 13, 2016

The head of the Democratic National Committee said on Tuesday the organization had been hacked by Russian state-sponsored agents who were trying to influence the U.S. presidential election, after a similar leak in July roiled the party.

A link to the documents was posted on WikiLeaks' Twitter account and attributed to alleged hacker Guccifer 2.0. The release came during a presentation on Tuesday from a person speaking on behalf of Guccifer 2.0 at a London cyber security conference, Politico reported.

Reuters could not immediately access the documents.

"There's one person who stands to benefit from these criminal acts, and that's (Republican presidential nominee) Donald Trump," DNC interim Chair Donna Brazile said in a statement.

If the ‘RATS can’t keep their own servers secure, how in the hell do they expect to keep the U.S. Government’s servers secure? Especially when they have a sickly old lady sitting in the Oval Office.

Russian state-sponsored agents who were trying to influence the U.S. presidential election by revealing Democrat Party sleaze and corruption?

Why would they do America the favor?

Hmmmmm. Good point.

Say, I wonder if the words "yoga" and "wedding plans" are actually code words for "uranium" and "going prices".

The DNC has no idea who is hacking them, and whether it is Russian State sponsored or not. The DNC has its own agenda. They want the Obama Admin, through Homeland Security, to take over the U.S. election process using “Russian” hacking as the excuse.

BTW, this is separate from the massive Hillary documents Wikileaks will be releasing. This release if from Guccifer 2.0 via WikiLeaks.

Doc Savage said last week, I believe it was, it wouldn’t surprise him if Trump wins the Presidency, Obama will come out and say the Russians hacked our voting machines and we must have another election.

A few years ago, anyone who made such a statement I would listen for strictly for its entertainment value as I like to hear a wild conspiracy theory.

Now? Nothing is beyond the realm of believability.

I'm sure people have been buying ambassadorships for a long time. For most countries it's not even a serious position in government, anyway.

But when someone donates $3.5M in exchange for a job that probably only pays about $150,000/year, alarm bells really go off all over the place ... because the return on that investment is ultimately going be huge, and it's not going to be obvious.

Now who's full of conspiracies?

This is clearly an inside job, and probably he's dead.

Lemme see if I have this straight, the Russians hacked the DNC to obtain a bunch of unclassified information but, at the same time, it’s very unlikely that they would have hacked Hillary’s private servers to obtain a whole bunch of classified information?
