full title.....Exclusive: Suspected Russian hack of DNC widens — includes personal email of staffer researching Manafort

Just weeks after she started preparing opposition research files on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort last spring, Democratic National Committee consultant Alexandra Chalupa got an alarming message when she logged into her personal Yahoo email account.

“Important action required,” read a pop-up box from a Yahoo security team that is informally known as “the Paranoids.” “We strongly suspect that your account has been the target of state-sponsored actors.”

Chalupa — who had been drafting memos and writing emails about Manafort’s connection to pro-Russian political leaders in Ukraine — quickly alerted top DNC officials. “Since I started digging into Manafort, these messages have been a daily oc­­­­currence on my Yahoo account despite changing my p­­a­ssword often,” she wrote in a May 3 email to Luis Miranda, the DNC’s communications director, which included an attached screengrab of the image of the Yahoo security warning.

Nothing about Hillary's Russian connections? Bill's buddy Putin?

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

"Remember it was Hillary that sold Uranium One to Russia"

Her husband sold missile guidance systems to the Chinese. She had to outdo him in their traitorous enterprise.

Hillary took US assets - uranium - and sold 20% to Russia and moved the profits to the Clinton Foundation. Putin would hope she wins, and he can come back for another 20% . With allies like that Putin would hate Trump.

DNC Bad: Foreign country interfering in another country election. DNC Good: Obama using tax payer $'s to try and unseat Israeli Prime Minister.

Because Yahoo Email is sooo secure!

Exactly...who hasn't gotten spam from a yahoo account that's been spoofed or taken over by a hacker?
