full title.....Exclusive: Suspected Russian hack of DNC widens — includes personal email of staffer researching Manafort

Just weeks after she started preparing opposition research files on Donald Trump’s 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.

“Important action required,” read a pop-up box from a Yahoo security team that is informally known as “the Paranoids.” “We strongly suspect that your account has been the target of state-sponsored actors.”

Chalupa — who had been drafting memos and writing emails about Manafort’s 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 DNC’s communications director, which included an attached screengrab of the image of the Yahoo security warning.

If we're going to talk about Russia, let's talk about Uranium.

By all means.

“I don’t care if the Russians hacked the DNC. The real question, is, “Is this stuff true?”

If it is, then the Russians have done the USA body politic (if not the DNC) a HUGE favor.”

Agreed. In this case I am with Russia.

Agreed. I notice there are no denials, simply complaining about source.

Weird, you posting so many articles about the Dems scurrying around trying to pretend all these different people hacked when anyone with sense who looks into it know it was Assange. He leaked them, too.

Plus, this smokescreen about “Russians did it!” or “Manafort did it!” is to try to take peoples’ attention away from one thing:

The CONTENT of the leaked emails.

The Kremlin was guilty of far more than they were ever accused of. If you read some of it in a spy novel, you’d scoff.

Every dem I know had the mentality of a child. No matter how old they they throw a temper tantrum when they don’t get their way.

Who says it was just Dems hacked? As I replied to your exact same question on another thread, if you listen to the Assange interview, he has a lot more stuff and sounds as though it’s broad spectrum, across the board - financial corruption.

I would like to think that, but I’m afraid the media will cover for them loud and clear.

It seems like the Russian modus operandi - dropping the truth bomb by exposing skeletons in the closet, at an opportune time.

They are also suspected of leaking the Climategate emails weeks before the 2009 Copenhagen Summit, a major global warming conference; and exposing the Erdogan Crime Family’s oil smuggling operations after the Turks shot down a Russian jet last year.

Truth to Democrats is like sunlight to vampires.

Aha, I was wrong. It was Guccifer 2.0, I guess he gave to Wikileaks.

This was written my Michael Isakoff??? The one who busted Bill Clinton?

His claim to fame is that he DIDN'T run the Clinton story. He spiked it and Drudge picked it up.

Thus Drudge's nickname for him is "Spiky".
