Showing Original Post only (View all)Hacked DNC documents may show ugly connections between the party and Hillary Clinton... [View all]
The full title at the link (below) is KING: Hacked DNC documents may show ugly connections between the party and Hillary Clintons presidential campaign
Earlier this week it was announced that a hacker breached the servers of the Democratic Party and obtained the DNC's opposition research on Donald Trump. The DNC confirmed as much.
Now, a single person claiming to be the hacker has released the supposed Donald Trump information alongside some other very revealing internal documents. When pressed by reporters to confirm or deny the authenticity of the new documents, the DNC only issued this vague statement doing neither. If the documents were fake, it would seem that the DNC would openly deny as much.
...(snip)...
First, the hacker released financial records from donors to the DNC. Earlier this week the DNC vehemently denied that any such information was accessed or stolen.
Two other documents that are very concerning were internal memos. One, claiming to be written on May 26, 2015, a full year before Hillary was declared the winner of the partys presidential nomination and months before the first primary was held, speaks of her as if she is already the nominee and how they aim to spend the following year preparing her for such a moment.
The DNC is supposed to be an unbiased arbiter of the campaign and this memo suggests anything but that. Furthermore, the memo gives strategies for they can best position her for general election. One of those strategies says they aim to, "Use specific hits to muddy the water around ethics, transparency, and campaign finance attacks on HRC."

Despicable & dishonest politics from the DNC. Isn't the 'D' supposed to stand for 'Democratic,' or did 'Despicable' replace it recently?

I have not trusted voting machines since the move to secret, electronic, paperless systems.

We should probably wait until HA Goodman weighs-in on this before rushing to a conclusion.

The documents don't even stand up to a cursory examination and this is like the 5th thread on them.

I guess that's true. If the future is in the hands of those who don't self-doubt, we're in trouble.

But anyone who has been paying attention didn't need a hacked email to tell us that.

"Documents "MAY" show ugly connection..." You are pissing over a possible, maybe?
