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.

What was Hillary claiming a couple weeks ago about her personal email server? That there was no evidence that it was hacked by foreign agents? Are we going to hear that again anytime soon?

They actually plan to use the “Trump is a Russian spy” distraction.

And the proof is security warnings on Yahoo? Well, they were being hacked. Idiots.

what is it with Dems and personal email accounts? You would thing they would have their own systems run by competent people so they don’t get hacked, but they cant even manage that.

OK, so what Yahoo? Counter the emails and the content. Pissed because your demoncrats have been exposed? Traitors.

That’s right - nothing to do with their illegal/immoral shenanigans, it’s all the Russians’ fault - “Vast Russian Wing Conspiracy”

This isn’t possible since she kept her Yahoo on a separate server from DNC.

An inappropriate haiku:

The media is going full-bore on this fake meme.

Reminds me of the Cold War when EVERYTHING was blamed on the Kremlin!

I don’t care if the Russians hacked the DNC. The real question, is, “Is this stuff true?”

If it is, then the Russians have done the USA body politic (if not the DNC) a HUGE favor.

Mebbe that was her screen name in the account that got hacked.

I think ‘Taco Bowl’ was her PW.
