This Time It's Russia's Emails Getting Leaked
Source: The Daily Beast
Russian oligarchs and Kremlin apparatchiks may find the tables turned on them later this week when a new leak site unleashes a compilation of hundreds of thousands of hacked emails and gigabytes of leaked documents. Think of it as WikiLeaks, but without Julian Assanges aversion to posting Russian secrets.
The site, Distributed Denial of Secrets, was founded last month by transparency activists. Co-founder Emma Best said the Russian leaks, slated for release Friday, will bring into one place dozens of different archives of hacked material that, at best, have been difficult to locate, and in some cases appear to have disappeared entirely from the web.
Stuff from politicians, journalists, bankers, folks in oligarch and religious circles, nationalists, separatists, terrorists operating in Ukraine, said Best, a national-security journalist and transparency activist. Hundreds of thousands of emails, Skype and Facebook messages, along with lots of docs.
Distributed Denial of Secrets, or DDoS, is a volunteer effort that launched last month. Its objective is to provide researchers and journalists with a central repository where they can find the terabytes of hacked and leaked documents that are appearing on the internet with growing regularity. The site is a kind of academic library or a museum for leak scholars, housing such diverse artifacts as the files North Korea stole from Sony in 2014, and a leak from the Special State Protection Service of Azerbaijan.

(14,629 posts)I think there are tapes of Trump that portray something far worse than hookers peeing on a bed.
Think 'Jeffrey Epstein-level', really bad tapes.

(2,192 posts)I think there are tapes of him raping children. I think that the pee tape rumor (which Steele reported as just that: a rumor) was deliberately spread so that when it could be proven false, it would discredit the real dirt on Trump.
We must have cross posted. Nearly identical thoughts. I think it started with one thing, but ended very different in the worst possible way.

(602 posts)I've said that since day one. I believe there is extremely compromising video where he may have left no indulgence no matter how depraved or incriminating, left unsatisfied.
Including murder.

Because it's an agent of Russia.

It would be great to post threads about emails from Russians. Let them simmer and stew for a while.

(574 posts)Of Trump and Putin discussing and agreeing to terms of the conspiracy . This would be insurance for Putin that his puppet would remain loyal.
