Not only that, but a Russian last ditch all out assault on Macron was coordinated with some nefarious characters on the US alt-right pro-Trump scene and the people behind the PizzaGate hoax.
Through a machine analysis, DFRLab tracked the onset of the campaign to the Twitter account of Jack Posobiec, the Washington DC Bureau Chief of an obscure, alt-right website, theRebelMedia. Posobiec’s bio on theRebel.media reveals that “in 2016, Jack was the Special Projects Director for Citizens for Trump, the largest Trump grassroots organization in the US,” and he is “a proud member of #SlavRight,” a nationalist Slavic movement.
I’m not arguing whether releasing information is damaging or not, I’m arguing that if it’s true that’s what’s relevant.
If Macron is exposed as corrupt with real verifiable documents, why does it matter who is behind wikileaks ultimately? That doesn’t undo his corruption
It seems that the MacronLeaks operation failed miserably, not least because someone in the GRU forgot that they shouldn’t use a Russian language version of MS Excel with accompanying tags to edit the leaked documents, as this hilarious example from the MacronLeaks shows:
Because being pawns in a global game where Putin is the mastermind is fucking terrifying.
Edit: Fwiw, i’m on board with leaks when politicians are doing something illegal. I’m just not willing to be Putin’s puppet after spending 3 seconds looking at how he runs his country.
When Israel actively tries to meddle in our elections, a top adviser and campaign manager are fired for being in bed with them, the AG has to recuse himself for his own contacts with them, etc., then I’ll be as concerned.
Amdocs has contracts with the 25 biggest phone companies in America, and more worldwide. The White House and other secure government phone lines are protected, but it is virtually impossible to make a call on normal phones without generating an Amdocs record of it.…But sources tell Fox News that in 1999, the super secret National Security Agency, headquartered in northern Maryland, issued what’s called a Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmentalized Information report, TS/SCI, warning that records of calls in the United States were getting into foreign hands – in Israel, in particular. Investigators don’t believe calls are being listened to, but the data about who is calling whom and when is plenty valuable in itself.
Hey Tyler he doesn’t sound nervous in his tweets. One of them talks about Yates leaking info to newspapers. The other talks about Obama giving Flynn the highest security clearance.
But I guess when you hate someone as much as you hate Trump you read things into the messages that just are not there.
3 years 9 months to go. You will hate every minute of it…but you will survive.
Which was an incredibly inappropriate and unprecedented thing for a POTUS to do; ie, make scurrilous public remarks about someone who was a pending witness before a Senate committee. But hey, par for the course.
Yeah, Trump is odd you never what he’s going to say. But if you want to talk about protocol let’s do. Let’s recall a few things that Obamawitz’s and company did in his 8 years: Bowing to Middle Eastern leaders, not wearing a flag pin, Michelle hugging the Queen, Obama leaving the White House without the White House press corps, Obama saluting Marines while holding his coffee cup…ah there’s plenty more. But none of that bothered you because he was YOUR MAN! Ha!! Politics…
Suck it up E…3 years and 9 months to go. It will be painful but you can do it.
Your problem - well, one of them - is that you can’t distinguish between silly flubs that don’t move the needle and meaningful breaches in custom that materially affect (or hope to affect) the integrity of an investigation.
Here’s a way to look at it (that won’t be covered in your Judge Jeanine daily newlsetter) - could anyone complain in the scenarios you list with Obama that Obama is interfering with another branch’s authority?
