The worst might be yet to come with the DNC email hack
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | July 26th, 2016 | Pamela Engel

The leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee has already rocked the party's convention this week, but it might not be over quite yet.

Cybersecurity experts and Democratic strategists worry that more emails could come out in what might be a slow drip of hacked messages deployed strategically throughout the election cycle for maximum impact.

"Like everyone in DC, I immediately searched my name," an unidentified strategist who works with the DNC told BuzzFeed News. "I wasn't in there, which I was happy about, until I realized just how sinister this leak actually was."

Russia is a prime suspect in the hack. US officials told The Daily Beast that they suspect the Russians wanted to tip the scale in favor of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee who has spoken favorably of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The release of emails just as the Democratic National Convention is getting underway this week has the hallmarks of a Russian active measures campaign," David Shedd, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told The Daily Beast. He suspects that more leaks are coming.

I just watched Clinton Cash. Putin wanting to help Trump doesn’t make sense unless the Clintons double crossed Putin.

“Poor Democrats. Ah, for the days when Russian tinkering with American politics worked in their favor!!”

There must be a more modern way to express ROTFLMAO but I can’t think of one on a text-based board.

“So this is what it looks like when the Dems wrap themselves in the flag? I never thought I’d live long enough to see it.”

Good thing that they rented some out last night, after the convention started!

The hacker is irrelevant.

It’s the content of the emails. This seems so easy to move past with a laugh and a wave of the hand.

Russia, China, whistle blower....just a distraction.

One of the reasons that the eff bee eye is investigating the Wikileaks DNC email dump is the murder of a DNC staffer last week in DC at 420 AM. Perhaps they have information that the dead staffer may be the one who gave the emails to Assange. It stands to reason that the staffer may have had complete access to the files.

There is a very easy fix for this problem. Just hit the rest button one more time.

Of course...I doubt the Russians had anything to do with this, but even if they did, the problem is who WROTE the e-mails...Not who exposed them...

Dems frantically trying to cover up...

Ain’t gonna work, dems....

Isn’t it weird how many people who cross the Clintons end up dead.

It was a Congressman’s son and you are right - no demand said anything about it.

They should not be worried at all if all their emails were on the up and up .... no bribery, money laundering, back stabbing, etc. ... what is there to fear if all the emails are released?

And remember, the “hacker” didn’t write those emails!

“The leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee has already rocked the party’s convention this week, but it might not be over quite yet.”

This is because they all know what’s been purloined from their computers. The only open question is the timing of the releases. Just imagine the full-scale “lie factory” the RATs have somewhere aligning their best lies with each e-mail.
I just wished that Pooty Poot, would may a three a.m. call to Hillary to tell her just how badly she’s f-cked!

The first release was only done to set the price ($) of not revealing the remainder.

How could it get any worse?

Is there something worse than devastating?
