It was recently revealed that a European hacker, likely under the guidance of Russian intelligence agencies, obtained access to the Democrat National Committee’s computer network, absconding with untold amounts of documents and internal information.
The hacker, who goes by the moniker “Guccifer 2.0,” an homage to the now-jailed Romanian hacker believed to have breached the private email server of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, just released some of the documents allegedly hacked from the DNC files, according to the Washington Examiner.
These included such documents as a master defense plan covering Clinton’s many weaknesses and a “cheat sheet” detailing the issue positions of her Democrat rivals who challenged her ascension to the presidency.
It also contained collections of negative stories regarding Clinton’s private email usage and allegations of corruption at the Clinton Family Foundation while she was head of the State Department and methods by which those negative stories could be countered.

For us, no, they don’t disappear. Some of us have copied or are copying them already. But they won’t change any minds on the left or among the millennial snowflakes unless the WaPo, NYT and LAT publish this stuff and shame Mrs. Bill for it. The sun is a myth if the NYT doesn’t report and support it.
This will help her negatives.
Not in a good way (for her).
She will beat Trump.
In the race to the bottom.
Yes, definitely. :) The same person/people/institution that hacked the DNC released the documents and set up the site, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they saw it as an opportunity to hack more people. I don’t think there is a huge risk in visiting the site, but it is worth being cautious. People have run virus scans on the docs and they came back clean.
That’s what old systems with maybe a linux live distro are for.
Linux live distro, or a VM would good choices.
Linux has saved the day for me more than a few times.
If I can swing it later this year I am looking at Linux academy. I use it but not much more than basic operations.
Eye wash, eye wash, eye wash, stat ....
With what? Trumps campaign is down to it’s last Million — not even enough for a significant ad buy.
That may be the explanation for the fact that not many of the docs have been reproduced on internet blogs and so forth. I’ve seen some posted, but I would love to see this story take off. It will do so only when sites began actually posting the documents themselves, I believe. The articles about one of Clinton’s campaign documents saying Clinton would (exact words) “muddy the waters” when it came to her scandals was great, and detailing her relationship with a compliant press, was great,but hasn’t caught fire yet.

It hasn’t caught fire because all the stuff that the hacker release so far is just lame oppo/self-vetting research conducted using internet searches of public info. It would more interesting to see the chats/emails. DNC staffers behaving cynically, badmouthing Bernie and colluding with the Clinton campaign would give this steam. Tangible evidence of corruption at the Foundation would boil it over. Evidence that her precious private server was hacked even more so.

Clinton Empire Crumbling...
That image is entertaining, but Hillary is more “Endora” than “Harry Potter”.

Good points all. I thought, however, that the parts released early on, which reportedly included their plan for dealing with the corrupt press, was pretty compelling. Planted questions for GOP candidate, “bracketing”, “muddying the waters”, etc. was pretty good.

The media will just cheer her on, saying you go, girl.
