Related: About this forumA DNC staffer had their personal email hacked
Just weeks after she started preparing opposition research files on Donald Trumps campaign chairman Paul Manafort last spring, Democratic National Committee consultant Alexandra Chalupa got an alarming message when she logged into her personal Yahoo email account.
Chalupa who had been drafting memos and writing emails about Manaforts connection to pro-Russian political leaders in Ukraine quickly alerted top DNC officials. Since I started digging into Manafort, these messages have been a daily occurrence on my Yahoo account despite changing my password often, she wrote in a May 3 email to Luis Miranda, the DNCs communications director, which included an attached screengrab of the image of the Yahoo security warning.

I hope the interviewers had knee pads on while they were kissing his ass.
I wish they'd done their fucking job and asked why ONLY the DNC/Democrats were targeted.
