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.

Instead of “Reds under the bed” we’ve got “Reds in the Server”

I was at my mom’s today, and was therefore forced to watch The View. Within ten minutes, Whoopi and Behar had turned the Dem email scandal into a Trump scandal, suggesting that the Russians were working for Trump.

Hahaha...surely her name isn’t really “Chalupa?” She just saw that word on a menu in some Mexican food joint, and knowing the Democrats’ penchant for diversity, was able to get a job whether or not she could figure out a computer email account.

Reminiscent of the Pentagon Papers. The Republicans screamed that the New York Times obtained the documents from a rogue. It was all so unfair. All that ultimately mattered was the content. Once again it will be the content that matters. If the Democrats did nothing wrong or underhanded, then they have nothing to worry about. Alas they have much to worry about. The released documents so far are just a sample and have the Sanders legions livid as the convention opens. Unless Assange gets his pardon from Obama very soon, the Hillary Chronicles will soon be published. This is about Assange and Obama, not the Russians. No doubt Hillary is pressing Obama to make a deal.

Chalupa had her e-mail hacked
Her password was easily cracked
It’s not about lies
It’s all Russian spies!
Who cares what integrity we lacked?

Anyone else find it incredibly ironic that the Dems are being crushed because their email was hacked.....after the BS HRC pulled and got away with.

This is Karma if I ever saw it.

We have a local Mexican fast food small chain here called ‘Taco Town’.
Their slogan is, “Why run for the border when you can eat in town?”.....................They have great food as well, and very cheap as well!.........................

Her real name is Smith. Chalupa is her “Taco Bowl Engagement” name.
