Wikileaks' October Surprise

[trustbutverify]

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but hacking is a crime. Why are Donald and his supporters so happy about that?

Same reason Dump was so happy about the possibility Putin had journalists and others killed and imprisoned for being critical of Putin.

Same reason Hillary and correct the record were only too happy to repeat Colin powell's hacked emails, of course.

Correct. And the same reason Sean Hannity now loves Julian Assange.

Correct. And the same reason Sean Hannity now loves Julian Assange.

Seems we're living in the interesting times they used to wish on other people.

 

[phiwum]

Has anyone explained why the wikileaks dump is coming in instalments?

This is a fine question. I thought that the point of wikileaks was openness. The fact that they are scheduling releases for maximum impact seems to put that notion to rest.

WikiLeaks needs to be dropped off in a dumpster. Randomly and followed by a ******** of trash.

 

[catsmate]

To have it in the news longer in order to cause maximum damage (still basically none).

And to give Putin's minions time to search for anything that might be useful.

So far it looks like the surprise is that there is no surprise.

I'm not surprised.

 

[applecorped]

I'm not surprised either because ....Hillary

It's just the beginning. Prepare yourself for more devastating no-surprises.

Two more batches released today, the latest one half an hour ago.

I'm really struggling to care...

Yea, all these emails have been pure, "how the sausage is made." I guess you can be offended by that, but no more so than any other presidential candidate in the last several decades.

Not all have been sausage-making. One was a verbatim quote of a Newsweek article.

And great advice on risotto.

Call me crazy, but the mere fact that both Wikileaks and Russia are representing the words from an op-ed written by a Newsweek writer as "proof" of Clinton's "nefarious" involvement in Benghazi tends to make me think there's an agenda, and it ain't to the benefit of the US, no matter what Assange likes to spin.

If it can be proven they're misrepresenting one thing, why not every other thing in this so-called "October Surprise" data dump? Clearly they have no qualms about creative editing, so I can't understand why they think I should believe anything they post, period.

when did Wikileaks represent the words from an op-ed written by a Newsweek writer as "proof" of Clinton's "nefarious" involvement in Benghazi?

I've read Kurt Eichenwold's overwrought article about an article that was published and then deleted by "Sputnik" but I have not seen a claim that Wikileaks made such a representation.

Please link your source for that part of the claim.

Thanks

This is the thing, do the same with any politician of any stripe from pretty much, well forever, and you will find the same sort of thing. If your inclined to hate Clinton I guess you can find something to be outraged about here...

"Clinton Said Dodd-Frank Was Something That Needed To Pass “For Political Reasons.” “And with political people, again, I would say the same thing, you know, there was a lot of complaining about Dodd-Frank, but there was also a need to do something because for political reasons, if you were an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it's all the fault of Wall Street, you can't sit idly by and do nothing, but what you do is really important. And I think the jury is still out on that because it was very difficult to sort of sort through it all.” [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]

Nothing much jumped out at me, except for the above. The implication is that banking reform was done only to placate the stupid sheeple.
