The link between Manafort, the sleaze, and Pooitin is there. The pieces are coming together. Did Donald pay the Russians to hack rhe DNC? He certainly is capable of doing that.

Clinton camp fears more leaks are coming

PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton's campaign is bracing for the possibility of more damaging emails being leaked to the public as the presidential campaign enters its home stretch.

Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for Hillary for America, said it’s possible that more emails will be released at a time designed to inflict maximum political pain on Democrats.

Clinton camp fears more leaks are coming

Yeah, which is why the FBI said..............there may be way more taken after Assange made that clear.

And Democrats have become the laughing stock internationally. Good job.

No. You're desperately searching for anything that might help get your asses out of this mess.

How about focusing on the real news?

The democrat party is killing democracy...

Yeah, I'm getting cynical in my old age. I wouldn't be such a critic if the dems had played by the rules.

Don't you remember the 2008 DNC election process between Obama and Hillary. Hillary got shafted.

Hillary Clinton's PUMAs, Once Die-Hard Supporters, Aren't Sold on 2016

The only person who "shafted" Hillary was Webb Hubbell.
Even good old Webb couldn't stomach 'climbing back on' a second time.

You disappoint me. I thought you were a better American than that. Sad...

Unlike the rest of us who have never thought that about you.

The fact of the matter is the DNC wrote these emails, period. They actively attempted to subvert the Democratic process and they have shown themselves to be guilty of the very same ignorant and bigoted behavior they always accuse their right wing opposition of. If these same emails came from the RNC you and the rest of your dishonest and dishonorable ilk would have been all over them like glue.

 

[dannyboys]

Where are the RNC emails? Wouldn't you like to see them also to see how "honorable" they are?

The people who run the RNC computer systems are obviously a whole lot smarter than the fucking dope-head stoners doing the same job at the DNC.
It's as easy to get any DNC politician's/voter's personal information by hacking into their system as it is to order in chinese food.

and that would have been regardless of the source. the person doing the hack would have been hailed as a "great american, working for transparency in our political process"

 

[AnCap'n_Murica]

Let me get this straight.

The Wikileaks emails show members of the media going to the DNC and the Clinton campaign, to proofread and clear the stories they release. Now, these same media outlets are going full bore to flesh out the DNC tin hat conspiracy theory, that Putin is behind all this?

WTF? I feel like I'm trapped in an Ed Wood movie.

"But Mommy! Sure I was stealing money from your purse BUT Billy TOLD on me!!!!!!!! Billy is the one to blame right?".
The fucking sub-human scum gang-bangers...........all Hillary supporters threaten "Snitches Get Stitches".
The fucking LIBs live by this immoral code.
Question: Who would your garden variety sub-human vermin gang-banger rather see in the Oval office, Hillary, whose party has been 'dog-whistling' 'gun grabbing' from legal gun owners for decades, or Trump?
FUCKING GOLD STAR!!!!!!

I think that even the Russians are tired of the evil lying liberals. Sucks when your enemies have to help you out.

The email dump isn’t a high-minded act of transparency. It’s a foreign power attempting to swing an election for its favored candidate.

A foreign government has hacked a political party’s computers—and possibly an election. It has stolen documents and timed their release to explode with maximum damage. It is a strike against our civic infrastructure. And though nobody died—and there was no economic toll exacted—the Russians were aiming for a tender spot, a central node of our democracy.

It was hard to see the perniciousness of this attack at first, especially given how news media initially covered the story. The Russians, after all, didn’t knock out a power grid. And when the stolen information arrived, it was dressed in the ideology of WikiLeaks, which presents its exploits as possessing a kind of journalistic bravery the traditional media lacks.

This is trespassing, it’s thievery, it’s a breathtaking transgression of privacy.​

But this document dump wasn’t a high-minded act of transparency. To state the obvious, only one political party has been exposed. (Selectively exposed: Many emails were culled from the abridged dump.) And it’s not really even the inner workings of the Democrats that have been revealed; the documents don’t suggest new layers of corruption or detail any new conspiracies. They’re something closer to the embarrassing emails that fly across every office in America—griping, the testing of stupid ideas, the banal musings that take place in private correspondence. The emails don’t get us much beyond a fact every sentient political observer could already see: Officials at the DNC, hired to work hand in glove with a seemingly inevitable nominee, were actively making life easier for Hillary Clinton. It didn’t take these leaks to understand that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a hack and that the DNC should be far more neutral in presidential primaries.

What’s galling about the WikiLeaks dump is the way in which the organization has blurred the distinction between leaks and hacks. Leaks are an important tool of journalism and accountability. When an insider uncovers malfeasance, he brings information to the public in order to stop the wrongdoing. That’s not what happened here. The better analogy for these hacks is Watergate. To help win an election, the Russians broke into the virtual headquarters of the Democratic Party. The hackers installed the cyber-version of the bugging equipment that Nixon’s goons used—sitting on the DNC computers for a year, eavesdropping on everything, collecting as many scraps as possible. This is trespassing, it’s thievery, it’s a breathtaking transgression of privacy. It falls into that classic genre, the dirty trick. Yet that term feels too innocent to describe the offense. Nixon’s dirty tricksters didn’t mindlessly expose the private data of low-level staff.

We should be appalled at the public broadcast of this minutiae. It will have a chilling effect—campaign staffers will now assume they no longer have the space to communicate honestly. This honest communication—even if it’s often trivial or dumb—is important for the process of arriving at sound strategy and sound ideas. (To be sure, the DNC shouldn’t need privacy to know that attacking a man for his faith is just plain gross.) Open conversation, conducted with the expectation of privacy, is the necessary precondition for the formation of collective wisdom and consensus. If we eviscerate the possibility of privacy in politics, we increase the likelihood of poor decision-making.

It is possible to argue that Russia is just behaving as great powers often do. States try to manipulate opinion beyond their borders. Barack Obama recently attempted to sway the British public to reject Brexit; we don’t just broadcast the Voice of America to expose the world to jazz. Russia does this, too. It has a website and television network, Russia Today. We might not care for Russia Today and its propagandistic coverage, but it operates in the open. It uses reporting and opinion to sway hearts and minds. The interconnected nature of the world means that it would be malpractice for states not to make the best case for its policies to enemy and ally alike. The United States is better when it understands the world and argues with it.

Still, we have a clear set of rules designed to limit foreign interference in our elections, to protect our sovereignty. We should be open to rational arguments from abroad but terrified about states playing a larger role than that. This is why we don’t let foreign entities make campaign contributions. We don’t allow noncitizens to vote. Consider our reaction, if an American political leader had pulled this stunt: He would be prosecuted, and drummed from political life. These are unacceptable tactics for an American; they can hardly be more tolerable when executed by a foreign power that wishes us ill.

The DNC dump may not have revealed a conspiracy that could end a candidacy, but it succeeded in casting a pall of anxiety over this election. We know that the Russians have a further stash of documents from the DNC and another set of documents purloined from the Clinton Foundation. In other words, Vladimir Putin is now treating American democracy with the same respect he accords his own. The best retaliation isn’t a military one, or to respond in kind. It’s to defeat his pet candidate and to force him to watch the inauguration of the woman he so abhors.

Yes, it would be sweet justice for Putin to watch Hillary Clinton inaugurated President of the United States - the woman he so abhors.

Okay, let's do this.

Now, let's talk about what the emails reveal about the nasty democrat party, shall we?
