Russian government hackers penetrated DNC, stole opposition research on Trump

By Ellen Nakashima June 14 at 11:30 AM

Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach.

The intruders so thoroughly compromised the DNC’s system they also were able to read all e-mail and chat traffic, said DNC officials and the security experts.

The intrusion into the DNC was one of several targeting American political organizations. The networks of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were also targeted by Russian spies, as were the computers of some GOP political action committees, U.S. officials said. But details on those cases were not available.

A Russian Embassy spokesman said he had no knowledge of such intrusions.

.... AAaaaand Of course the Rumor is already being spread by the Democrat field that this was done by Trump.

.... BTW .... If it was this easy for a foreign operative to hack into the DNC computers ..... just think how easy it would've been to hack Hillary's computer which, according to Cheryl Mills deposition, .... Didn't even have a password!

“...Did they find Hillary’s emails?...”

You can bet the farm they did. Every one of them has been copied, translated, and filed in several file cabinets in and around the Kremlin.

Probably hired by DJT. Smart move I might add but a little too Watergate-ish

“The Dems want to spread some lies, but they don’t want to do it themselves. So... they claim the Russians got into their database, and the Russians are(will be) spreading the lies.”

In other words, this gives them Plausible Deniability.

My theory: yes - the Russians are helping Trump. In return, Trump will provide the GPS coordinates of Soros the moment he is elected President.

Sounds like a great trade to me.

Surely Ivan could nab and/or eliminate George without any outside help.

Thanks AdmSmith. And why would Russian gov't hackers tell anyone? This is a cover story, so when the smears begin, the DNC has its ass covered.

To: Democrats hate too much

I had similar thoughts when there was a big ‘scandal’ when some idiot leaked Israeli plans which implied possibly bumping off American leadership if things really hit the fan. After you get over the initial outrage, we have crooks, traitors and retards in the highest offices...can you really blame ‘em for looking out for themselves?
