Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.

The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.

I'm going to go ahead and wait until the FBI finishes their investigation before I believe a word that shit bird's campaign says about who is responsible for this.

When do we get to see the pregnant couch ultra sounds?

Hey, anybody remember the scandal around Dubya's Texas Air National Guard record? Somebody leaked a document to Dan Rather, and the Bush campaign even acknowledged that the information in it was 100% accurate. But it wasn't the original document. Forensic analysis showed that it had been re-created in MS Word.

Then, the Bushies made it all about the forgery, which cost Rather his job, and sent the damaging information about Bush down the memory hole.

Remember that? I'm not saying that the DonOld's campaign is pulling that trick, but IRAN IRAN IRAN!!!1!

Iranian Phisher weeks ago: "Wow, this guy fucked a couch..."

Tbh if this was a foreign source, I’d say the actions so far are friendly to the United States.

270 pages? Did each page have a single capital letter and a colorful picture of trump?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It's 270 pages of "A is for Asshole" superimposed over his face.

I hope the files will surface to the public soon.

Good for Iran for getting some measure of revenge. It was atrocious of Trump to break the Iran nuclear deal. The US defines sanctions or economic warfare as "acts of war" which is unjustified towards Iran.

Even though US intelligence services said Iran isn't developing a nuclear weapon, these sanctions and the deal was done to prevent them from developing. This is fundamentally undemocratic behavior because without a modicum of prosperity a country isn't likely to become more open or democratic. All to support Saudi Arabia (who are worse than Iran) and the exploitation of natural resources in the region.

Release it. Release it all. Let the public decide.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Why is politico talking "around" the documents? Are they releasing or consider release?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

100% "Robert" is that persona trump does when he calls media and pretends he's his own press agent. This is trump trying to ditch vance without just coming out and saying that he picked a couch fucker
