But when Trump told Russia to go ahead and hack the Clinton campaign and release the data, and like three days later, Russia did exactly that, that was fine.

Yup, fuck the Trump campaign. Glad it's finally happening to them and they can get a taste of their own medicine.
In reality his campaign was working directly with Russian agents to get dirt on Clinton campaign. This was not just wishful thinking on Donny’s part. It was a willful malice.
Eventually we are going to learn that at the time trump said "russia, if you're listening..." he already knew what was going to happen.
"Iran, if you're listening, release the n-word tapes!"
When you're Iran, they just let you do it. You can just grab em by the email.
They have the best emails. Like MIT. Emm Eye Tee. Ya know, I have a thing with MIT. Genius. Smart people. So I said to them, "what do you think of Iran having my emails?" And they said, "are you sure it's Iran? it's probably the Democrats." They're like sharks, Democrats! Sharks swarming this beautiful boat with a battery. Which, if you ask me is a very dangerous thing, the battery. Because what if it electrocutes you? I'll take the sharks over electrocution any day. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner, folks. Just like that nasty, nasty woman. I bet she feeds the sharks, Nancy Pelosi. AND HER HUSBAND! The leader of the transgenders. They want to take it all away. Take it all away. They want to give your job to transgendered immigrants. Let me tell you. The late great Hannibal Lecter would know what to do.
I wish I could upvote this twice
Anyone know what docs have been published? I’m semi-tempted to load Google news, but I have a self-imposed blackout on doing so for my own mental health. I don’t need to get massively depressed between now and November.
I don't know about published, but the article says that Politico received internal email communications and the campaign's vetting dossier for Vance. So probably nothing earth-shattering.
the campaign’s vetting dossier for Vance
Wouldn't this kinda read like a list of all the things about Vance they'd prefer were not part of the public discourse?
No, in the actual politico article (I don't know why people keep posting other sources) it says everything in the documents was already publicly available information. Just an organized collection of it all
Yeah probably something about Vance has a fetish for furniture or the like.
What I've read so far indicates that Politico has received the documents, but hasn't published them directly yet.
You got phished. Maybe you should've had better cybersecurity, fuckers.
He doesn't pay people. It's all on him.
The hackers sent the documents to Politico from an AOL.com email address with the name "Robert" lmao
Should have signed it Bobby Jr.
I think they leaked this themselves:
- Makes it look like they knew how much Vance sucks going into it, so their decision looks less stupid
- Tries to re-create a boogeyman in Iran for everyone to be scared of
- Doesn't actually leak anything that damning (i.e.: "See, no more pussy grabbing!")
Makes it look like they knew how much Vance sucks going into it, so their decision looks less stupid
Doesn't that make their decision look more stupid?
Maybe they are too stupid to realise that?
"Confirms security breech" = "we're fucking morons and we deliberately clicked a pop up scam that said 'free pictures of hulk Hogan with his shirt off' as long as you tell us your mother's maiden name and your first dogs name"
Given how much IQ is talked about, I was thinking it was a free IQ test.
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need if a knife.
Is this the new Republicans scapegoat? Iran?
New? Hardly. Republicans have been using Iran as a scapegoat for decades. I can remember Bush admin being filled with Iran hawks and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go back to Reagan or further still
I think it was the guy who played "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion at his last rally.
He will use this as an excuse to dump Vance
Who would be the replacement?
Hannibal Lector
Hulk Hogan or Chuck Norris
Hey, don’t forget Clint Eastwood and his empty chair.
Now is when you get Marco Rubio to move out of Florida, and then still don't pick him.
Serious answer? Elise Stefanik
Not so serious answer? Marge Green
Why does he want to dump Vance?
He's getting bad press at the moment and Trump probably thinks that's why he's losing
He basically needs a paperweight who is a VP who gets no attention
Why would a foreign adversary want to stop Trump? This would be a dream come true for them.
Iran doesn’t want the US to collapse, they want rational actors in the White House. They had a stable plan under Obama then Trump came along and started complaining about random “bad deals” and scrapped the agreements.
Trump blew up one of Irans top military guys while president.
They see how inconpetent the campaing is and are just trying to help.
The person said they had a “variety of documents from [Trump’s] legal and court documents to internal campaign discussions.”
Queue Mike Pillow talking about cyber and the machines
Something something Barrel
My assumption is Trump and his top advisors all have regular and friendly dealings with foreign adversaries.
So I expect this was less of a security breach and more of an accidental disclosure along with other intentionally disclosed information. Something along the lines of an assistant was asked to email the candidate dossiers and oppo research, and they zipped up the entire folder sitting on their desktop named "candidates".
Hack them to itty bitty bits
