Leading French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron's campaign said on Friday it had been the target of a "massive" computer hack that dumped its campaign emails online 1-1/2 days before voters choose between the centrist and his far-right rival Marine Le Pen.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
It is possible that Macron leaked the emails intentionally to take attention away from his recently revealed secret bank account(s) in the Cayman Islands.
Could the emails be any worse than the pic of Macron giving Merkel a foot massage?
This was probably Obama’s idea to do that.
If the Russians have been doing all the election-related hacking, we need to track down the hackers ASAP. And give them medals.
If the West gets Trump AND Le Pen, we might just have a chance. If it turns out that we have Putin to thank for all this, then Putin is a hero of monumental proportions.
The chatter on Twitter about this is more about Trump/Russia than the Macron story itself... the usual trolls I guess are out there bashing Trump for stealing the election from Hillary with Russia’s help.
Sick.
Yes, exactly my thoughts, the email leak was orchestrated by Macron. This election needs to be postponed or, if there is enough evidence Macron needs to be arrested for tax evasion.
They are all over /pol/ as well.
LOL...my thoughts, exactly.
Hopefully, the French people feel the same.
FAR too late to save Marine, sadly. The French media is already burying this, citing the ban on “campaigning” in the final 48 hours.

"Want to let you know PM Valls is hosting a small roundtable (25-30 people) in Paris on October 16/17. It will begin with a dinner on Friday evening hosted by Emmanuel Macron (French Finance Minister) and the following day there will be two roundtable sessions:"
"Session one will address the challenges of economic globalization and technological development, and be focused on how progressives respond on policy front. Session two will evaluate how progressives develop a successful political and economic narrative to counter the right and populists to the left."
"They've asked for help bring some US people over, and are keen to get someone from HRC campaign engaged in possible. Is this something you might consider nominating a strategist or econ policy person to attend, or even attending yourself? Either Policy Network or Jean Jaures could cover travel and accommodation costs."
Obama endorsed him 3 days ago. Coincidence?
GO NATIONAL FRONT!!!!!!
Rooters is going to ride this “centrist”/”far-right” fake news dichotomy all the way to the election.
"The National Front is a right-wing populist and nationalist political party in France. Its major policies include opposition to the French membership of the European Union, the Schengen Area and the Eurozone, economic protectionism, a zero tolerance approach to law and order issues, and opposition to free migration."
Sounds great to me.
You can't read European news the same way that you read American news. Here's why:
Europe views all politics/government through a socialistic lens. To them, the Left Wing of the "bird of socialism" is communism (e.g. no private property) while their Right Wing of that same "bird of socialism" is fascism (e.g. police state, but private property is ok).
Broadly, Europe doesn't understand "American Exceptionalism," the rugged individual, or an economy undirected by government.
Americans make the above understanding worse by misusing "Left Wing" as being equal to "liberal" and "Right Wing" as being equal to the conservative view of individual rights and small government.
So even when we speak the same language our words to each other don't convey the correct meanings.
When Europeans say "Left Wing" they don't mean "liberals." Only Americans mean that.
When Europeans say "Right Wing" they don't mean Conservatives. Only Americans mean that.
Europeans only know flavors of Socialism. Their Left Wing and their Right Wing refer to which flavor of Socialism.
Using those same words inside the USA means something else entirely.
"Emmanuel Macron - vice secretary general - Born in 1977, Macron is currently a banker in mergers and acquisitions at Rothschild in Paris. Also an ENA graduate, he previously worked at the general inspection of finances and could also become the top civil servant at the Finance Ministry."
