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.

Isn’t that why they all said we shouldn’t worry about the fedgov snooping in on all our communications? If you’re not doing a crime, why NOT let the whole world see all your communications, they say.

Seems like they cry foul when it actually happens to them...

But these days really make me think about Jesus saying (paraphrased) that the time would come when what is whispered would be shouted on the mountaintops... I do believe we’re in Biblical times, and approaching extreme times at warp speed.

I trust Russians more than Democrats.

I trust Pravda more than the WapoNYT.

Do I trust the new KGB more than the FBI? Can’t say for sure.

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?

Treason's generally a hard case to prove; I think an investigation of the Clinton Foundation would yield better results for people to charge w/ Treason.

Russia is anti-Globalist, anti-Muslim, and staunchly Christian and America is led by Obama. The world is upside down.

How could it get any worse? Is there something worse than devastating?

If Wikileaks has a complete archive of clintonemail.com, including all the deleted emails, it will be very much worse for her. Unimaginably worse.

The first release was only done to set the price ($) of not revealing the remainder.

What's to keep the following from happening:

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

I watched Rick Santorum drive a stake in the heart of that argument. He just pointed out that the Russians have already taken what they want in the Ukraine. Some CNN bimbo was rendered speechless.

Guccifer 2.0 said he did it. Not Russians.

But think swing voters, swing voters, the narrative for swing voters.

The narrative is: Putin is for Trump, and he is going so far as to interfere with the U.S. election because he is afraid of Hillary becoming president.

And the evidence for that? An embarrassing hack of the DNC, exposing all these secrets.

And for good measure, just on the basis of all this speculation, ABC WNT this evening covered business connections between Trump and one of his campaign officials and various Russians.

“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”

Quote of the day!

Regardless who hacked it, the dems always believe when they are exposed, the person exposing them is the vilain and they are the victims.

If their enemies are ever exposed, thy care not about who exposed them they are democrats patriots, and they 200% focus on destroying the exposed enemies. No mercy.

Franklin Foer wrote for Slate that the DNC leaks are worse than Watergate, the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon...somewhere tonight Mr. Nixon is having a very long-delayed, well-deserved last laugh - enjoy, sir....
