The worst might be yet to come with the DNC email hack
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | July 26th, 2016 | Pamela Engel

The leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee has already rocked the party's convention this week, but it might not be over quite yet.

Cybersecurity experts and Democratic strategists worry that more emails could come out in what might be a slow drip of hacked messages deployed strategically throughout the election cycle for maximum impact.

"Like everyone in DC, I immediately searched my name," an unidentified strategist who works with the DNC told BuzzFeed News. "I wasn't in there, which I was happy about, until I realized just how sinister this leak actually was."

Russia is a prime suspect in the hack. US officials told The Daily Beast that they suspect the Russians wanted to tip the scale in favor of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee who has spoken favorably of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The release of emails just as the Democratic National Convention is getting underway this week has the hallmarks of a Russian active measures campaign," David Shedd, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told The Daily Beast. He suspects that more leaks are coming.

But would he have had INTENT to commit a crime? Otherwise, it really doesn’t matter, it turns out.

Or just what is already happening, accusing Trump of being Putin’s preferred choice for President because Hillary is such a strong, “muscular” leader.

The political narrative is the thing.

Too bad neither Russians nor Trump wrote the emails.

I’d be more wary of a DNC copycat Trump email dump where the forge them and the mediots happily get on board.

Shedd is connected to Obama, and this Russia connection is an incredibly biased unsubstantiated pile of bs.

“US officials told The Daily Beast that they suspect the Russians wanted to tip the scale in favor of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee who has spoken favorably of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

Impartial U.S. officials, like officials that will detail some of Hillary Clinton’s crimes but pass on indicting her for them?

I remember when someone hacked into Sarah Palin’s yahoo account in 2008..no one in the media made a fuss that her account was hacked, all they wanted to know is if there were anything in those emails that could bring her down..now that the shoe is on the other foot they keep on talking about the Russians

Too many people vote absentee these days to hold on to incriminating evidence until the end.

Oh Lord, if there’s anything good yet to come on the Dem emails, please let me live to see it. After that, I’m ready to go.

So this is what it looks like when the Dems wrap themselves in the flag? I never thought I’d live long enough to see it.

Psst.. Hey, DNC, this whole Russian story, do you REALLY want the FBI to start poking around your organization looking for someone to charge with treason?

I mean, really, have some heart for the FBI.

....(Democrat) Cybersecurity experts and Democratic strategists worry that more emails could come out in what might be a slow drip of hacked messages...

Thus, further exposing the complicity, culpability, and duplicity in yet another scam perpetrated by the Felon seeking the office of the Presidency.
