Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russian-governmen...

So is there anyone left who does not fully believe that the Russians have every single email sent and received by Hillary's puny server. No doubt they have highly classified materials and secrets about the The Clinton Foundation.

So Putin's decision, does he leak some key emails guaranteeing Trumps election or does he wait and use the info to blackmail Hillary?

is that both the Republican and Democratic nominee for the President of the US are both being investigated for criminal wrong doing by the FBI. It is apparent that both parties and US politics are so corrupt, they can't even find one viable candidate between the two of them to run.

I'm guessing the blackmail option. Maybe even wait to see if she gets into power, and then leak afterward if she does to see if she gets successfully impeached. Kinda like giving a kid a plate with cake and ice cream, only to smash it right in front of them with an oversized wooden mallet.

I would be sitting on them and then using them for some quite closed door negotiation against her to get what I want.

Ala, "Well, I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow morning I am going to be taking ALL of the Ukraine, and a couple other former satellite nations back under my umbrella, and if you decide to stand in the way I will be releasing a data dump of these documents to the public as well as responding militarily. Good luck trying to rally the Senate and House behind you to direct a war while they are also busy with your impeachment."

This is one of the many reasons I fear a Clinton Presidency, she is far to vulnerable to blackmail.

The Media as usual never focuses on the real target.

The most devastating emails that have been hidden (destroyed or not?, as personal) are those connected to The Clinton Foundation from both Hillary & Huma (yes she had her own accounts on the server).

The other areas she will be screwed is if it comes out that Top Secret emails on Hillary's server where hacked by Russia. Oh My

Demi, if you do not want to see an historical wipeout in November from the head of the beast to the tail you will eject Hillary and let her spend her time and fortune trying to stay out of jail as opposed to running for President and destroying the party. Or you could nominate Bernie and actually give folks an interesting reason to vote, instead of voting against two flawed candidates they could vote for an FDR upgrade

We the People are their real target. Their job is to keep us compliant to corporatist control, and to get us to believe the latest set of lies. Because the media is now essentially a monopoly, they succeed. Therefore, we will do as we are told and vote for one of these two criminals, especially once Obama pushes TPP through the Congress during the Lame Duck Session. At that point, it isn't going to matter who is the President, for the nation will be ruled by the WTO.

A crazy connection: Trump and Putin. Invasion of DNC, HRC communications. Multiple likely snoops into highly-sensitive US communications while now Hillary is sabre-rattling about Russia and NATO troops are massing in the East while Russia builds big missles. At this point, who cares what HRC told G-S? And no one seems to be very good with firewalling computers here.

The drip is running a steady stream now. Gusher this week?

He said he is thinking it may be getting time for a long vacation.

He is in Artillery (I think all Finns are in the service or reserves?) and he recently found out from a friend that owns a tree grinding biz that they got a huge contract to mulch massive quantities of trees.

Apparently they had let the trees grow to the point where they were obstructing the usability of the artillery emplacements and were not worried about it so they let it continue.

But now, they seem to be a little worried as they just cut down all the trees surrounding them and they are in giant piles.

And we are about to elect Clinton?

Fuck me....

at work there. From the architecture of the VAN to the "security" and choices of email and other platform technologies it's apparent that the whole thing is run by a group of clownshoes who "know computers" because they spent some time hacking at an Excel Spreadsheet or making PowerPoint presentations.

No details, doesn't appear Clapper is verifying the diary title at all anyway.
I'd take this accusation with a giant grain of salt. We can't just believe everything the mainstream media and our government, especially someone like Clapper, tells us.

I want my two dollars!

Putin actually knows how to play chess. It's clear to me that revealing that they have the opposition research on Trump is a two-fer for them: they have Drumpf by his marshmallow balls, and they have let the DNC know that they likely have much more.

Blackmailing Hillary isn't the plan right now. What I see them wanting is a pullback from the Ukraine. What most Americans don't understand, about why Russians see this as important, is that we never had Napoleon nor Hitler invade us. Put a hostile major military alliance on our borders, say in Mexico, and we'd be rather freaked out like the Russians are. That they have been relatively restrained in their response to overt aggression against them is a testament to their sense of reality. War IS Hell, and few know it as well as they do, such as the Chinese and Vietnamese.

There may be other things that the Russians seek to make deals on, like regarding Syria. So I don't see them tipping their hand until they know there is nothing else to do with that information. Otherwise, they would release it now, and let the chips fall where they may.

And linked it to this website
http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Russia-Is-Reportedly-S...

Reliable intelligence sources in the West have indicated that warnings had been received that the Russian Government could in the near future release the text of email messages intercepted from U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server from the time she was U.S. Secretary of State. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open U.S. secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of U.S. law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

Snoopy, I am not picking on you but don't know if that site is reliable. Do you have any idea? I read the article but don't know what to think. This sounds a lot like the rumors about this that have been going around and I thought they had been debunked.
