The worst might be yet to come with the DNC email hack
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | July 26th, 2016 | Pamela Engel

The leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee has already rocked the party's convention this week, but it might not be over quite yet.

Cybersecurity experts and Democratic strategists worry that more emails could come out in what might be a slow drip of hacked messages deployed strategically throughout the election cycle for maximum impact.

"Like everyone in DC, I immediately searched my name," an unidentified strategist who works with the DNC told BuzzFeed News. "I wasn't in there, which I was happy about, until I realized just how sinister this leak actually was."

Russia is a prime suspect in the hack. US officials told The Daily Beast that they suspect the Russians wanted to tip the scale in favor of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee who has spoken favorably of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The release of emails just as the Democratic National Convention is getting underway this week has the hallmarks of a Russian active measures campaign," David Shedd, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told The Daily Beast. He suspects that more leaks are coming.

If Wikileaks has a complete archive of clintonemail.com, including all the deleted emails, it will be very much worse for her. Unimaginably worse.

She is slippery.

The best election ever would be the email that finally exposes proof of a Clinton murder.

They got their bells rung so hard they have to blame Trump for the email leaks. Classic.

The DNC already has all of the emails anyone could possibly have stolen, err “borrowed”.

They can easily inoculate themselves against further damage by releasing them one big bunch.

Now take a deep breath and hold it until they do that.

It's one thing for Dem hacks to accuse the Russians, but it's quite another when US officials do it. That seems very provocative. I don't think they've thought this through.

Putin should call their bluff.

“immediately searched my name” and “more to come” I wonder what this person wrote in emails?

I’m much more interested in whether they have Hillary’s 30K deleted emails she hid from us and whether they also cracked into the Clinton Foundation. I want her treason exposed.

We already know the DNC party hacks are corrupt.

These media and Democrap bozos don’t know that Russia has anything to do with it, they don’t have one particle of evidence. They simply picked the most useful spin to try to re-focus the whole scandal.

The main issue should be the CONTENT of ideas and behaviors revealed in the emails, not who released them.

Because Mr. Putin does not want to see Hillary elected. Strong men respect other strong men.

I think today would be an excellent day to release some stuff, to taint The Beast's acceptance speech tomorrow night.

Not all of it, of course. Just enough to anger her...

“I don’t do the email thing,” Trump said in a 2007 deposition, according to The Times.

In testimony in 2013, Trump revealed that he had embraced email, but only slightly.

“Very rarely, but I use it,” Trump said then.

The Russian gambit is the Benghazi video all over again.

Except...... Wikileaks is the source and everybody knows it. Wikileaks is not Russia. Wikileaks will make this plain and expose the gig Russian lie for a lie.

Then there is Russia. Russia being falsely accused can rebut the lie in a yet to be determined bomb shell. It could be fun to destroy the lie
