Did 4Chan Troll The CIA?
Townhall ^ | January 10, 2017 | Christine Rousselle

Posted on 01/10/2017 8:06:48 PM PST by monkapotamus

What's worth talking about, however, are swirling claims on Reddit that 4chan users on the board /pol/ completely made the entire thing up. According to a variety of posts on the pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald, a user on /pol/, a 4chan board, made up the most salacious story in the report. He then mailed it to anti-Trump Republican strategist Rick Wilson, who then went to the CIA. The story was then included on the dossier published Tuesday by BuzzFeed News.

If this is true, this effectively means that 4chan trolled the U.S. intelligence system and the majority of the U.S. media with what's basically Donald Trump erotic fanfiction, which is terrifying...

Additionally, WikiLeaks says that the report published by BuzzFeed is "not an intelligence report" and that it is not consistent with the style of other reports...

Guess we'll have to wait and see if 4chan pulled off what is possibly the greatest troll game in internet history.

This is the Wikileak.

Even AFTER the Wikileaks drop on him was running for weeks he hadn’t changed his ID or password.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how they got hacked.
They left the doors wide open for people to do it.
They made lots of enemies when they gave away control of the internet .

The Dems thought they were being slick by moving sensitive information over their personal computers to avoid future information request. They are all computer security illiterate . They used their laptops on public WIFI and they are not smart enough to turn off file sharing and remote access. It’s like leaving the door open and screaming come on in and look in my computer to someone like a 4chan guy .

It wasn’t Russian hackers
That’s their cover for their own negligence and to try to delegitimize Trump.
They always accuse people of what they are guilty of.

Only God know how many military and security personal were compromised by their selfish stupidity . That’s why the stuff their passing around was only supposed to be viewed on a secure network and they were not even suppose to have personal blackberries in the secure areas.They did what they wanted and made a mess.

Ok. Can you give me something more to work with? Narrow it down to a specific time period? The 4chan stuff started surfacing in Oct/Nov with the story “leaked” to Wilson earlier, maybe during summertime.

How does McCain fit in ? He’s mentioned by others elsewhere elsewhere but not in most of the stories.

this has a Dan Rather feel to it.

“He supposedly hand delivered the dossier to Comey.”

I hope Trump can hold this over McCain’s head and black mail him if you will. In all reality McCain should resign from the Senate.

thanks....

it makes sense now why McCain thinks his info was rock solid.

I just read the dossier...I am seeing faded paragraphs\sentences and words on the document. Check out the white spaces. I wonder what that's all about ?

who in the heck in our intelligence community verified any of this ? Cripes...

whitespace is word wrap as would be expected for left-aligned, non-justified text

note the first word on the next line in each case is wider than the whitespace

The 4chan “Easter egg” in it is Trump geting Christmas gifts of Japanese anime porn from the Russians

4chan started as Japanese anime fan site

Forgive me, I’m not understanding.
Look at the white space under “20 June 2016.”
I can barely make out faded words.
Is that a bleed thru from the page behind it ?
How does that happen ? And it’s on most of the report pages.
What the heck kind of report is that ?
