DNC emails

I don't see Trump mentioning any treaty with Russia in his remarks.

Maybe you can provide a quote where he talks about that treaty?

[RandomGuy]

Buckle up RG, these upcoming email dumps are going to be brutal. Your an honest dude, I'm just waiting to see how long it takes you to admit you've been duped by the Clinton's. and before you say I'm duped by Trump, stop, I'm not.

My vote is purely against Clinton. Fuck her.

Clinton will make a far, far better president than Trump. I am happy to vote for her for that reason.

Take a deep breath and try and forget everything that has transpired today, you need a clear head so no mistakes are made on the quarterly. And you've got 3 months after this to digest the rest of the email dumps before your next quarterly :lol

No, the "national security issue" is if the Russians ACTUALLY have classified information hacked from Hillary's illegal private home brew server. She is the only one responsible for this "national security issue". Your deflection attempts are pathetic. And you constantly speak of intellectual honesty, please :lol

I don't think Trump called on Russia to hack Hillarys servers. Hillarys campaign thinks otherwise. It's the hacking that's the problem, not the content of what's hacked. Hillarys campaign would be singing the same time if only non-sensitive material was hacked.

[vy65]

vy's point though is exactly relevant.

The "national security issue" is that a major candidate is actively encouraging a foreign power to meddle in US politics by disclosing stolen data.

Agreeing with "evil" posters? You're a fraud.

If I was able to find the treaty Trump's camp already knows about the treaty. Even if his camp never mentions this it won't hurt him, he'll talk his way out like he always does while exposing Hillary further.

[hater]

Not saying anything about the technicalities of the hack. No idea what you are talking about here, other than to guess you are trying for a strawman. Have at it, if it makes you happy.

As for the rest of it, there isn't really a coherent thought there, either. I see some attempt at an either/or that isn't really supported by anything that limits the options to your chosen dichotomy.

You really suck at this. Trolling is so much more effective, when the presentation of ideas were halfway coherent. Verb salad leaves your intended troll target laughing at your inability, which is pretty much all you have accomplished. :lol.

:lmao you posted 30+ times in this thread and dont even bothered to comment on the content of the emails :lmao

I haven't glossed over the content that I am aware of. They show a democratic leadership doing something it shouldn't have. I am happy to admit as much, because the process only gets better when honest, valid criticism can be had.

Party leadership pressing for a preferred candidate though is something that seems to be par for the course. Personally I don't see that as 100% bad, since it provides a check against, say a Trump-like demogue.

[pgardn]

Lol so the Russians are stupid enough to use their FBI equivalent networks to hack the US? :lmao

People really think Putin minds this?

Are you kidding?

This could be like a big ole "we can F with you just like you do to other governments"
Even if Putin or an independent arm of their covert activities had absolutely nothing to do with this. Putin and Lavrov absolutely despise Clinton. She has looked into their souls and has basically said "Cold War bitches? Fine, You will lose again." The old guard Republicans love her for this. She hounded Obama to toughen up.

Oh this was specifically a hater take...

Do you believe in Magic?
There are people who appear to take you seriously and I'm not sure why.

[Spurminator]

So here's what I've gathered from the discussions around Emailghazi...

Many people both (1) believe Clinton compromised national security by using private email for very sensitive communications, and (2) hope Russia gets their hands on those emails.

Many people both (1) support investigation results 100% when it comes to looking into police officer malfeasance, and (2) believe investigations into Clinton's email and Benghazi scandals have been corrupt and/or incomplete.

[ducks]

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday the Clinton campaign essentially admitted there is work-related information in the 30,000 emails she deleted from her private server.

Krauthammer made his point on the Fox News program "Special Report" Wednesday evening when asked about Donald Trump's plea to Russia to release Clinton's emails if it had already hacked into her server.

"Well, that was his parting shot, and it was a clever thing to plant, because it is an issue," Krauthammer said. "But I do think there was something about his reference to Russia which, whether planned or not, is extremely clever.

"I'm not the first to point out that it set a trap that the Clinton campaign fell right into."












Krauthammer then explained how the Clinton campaign contradicted itself over earlier claims that the emails Clinton deleted from her private server she used for government work were all personal.

"In that statement that you showed from the Clinton campaign, it said, you're inviting a foreign power to invade our national security. Now, these are the emails that she deleted because they were supposedly private. These were supposedly not work related. These were the ones where she discusses her yoga lessons and wedding planning," he said.

"So if that's what really is in the 30,000 deleted emails, then there's no national security to be involved at all. So the Clinton campaign ends up admitting that perhaps there really is work-related, if not classified stuff, on the emails which she deleted, which I think would be the grounds for a charge of obstruction."

Wasserman is a Kerry scion and represents a huge swath of Dem big money. She got her post in a convention day deal between Obama who wanted Gabbard, the eventual CEO, and the Kerry people.

Kaine gets his credibility from being extremely popular with minority caucuses and women's groups for reasons that should be pretty obvious to anyone that has halfway paid attention to him since his selection.

Flashback: Rove Erases 22 Million White House Emails on Private Server at Height of U.S. Attorney Scandal – Media Yawns

Then as now, it’s clear that the only thing Republicans do very well is inflame the media with (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/whitewater/whitewater.htm)bogus (http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2607,00.html)scandals (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/whitewater/stories/wwtr940701.htm) — which is a handy way to distract attention from their ineptitude.

They are doing this with their usual aplomb, and considerable success, in the matter of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to send emails.

Never mind that former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican, has said (http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/03/11/two-names-the-press-omits-from-email-coverage-c/202847) he used a system similar to Clinton’s — and

never mind that in 2007 Karl Rove deleted 22 million emails from a private server in the Bush White House —

a matter about which the Beltway media said little and Republicans in Congress, like Rep. John Boehner, said nothing.

So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates. So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country,weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails.

How Many Classified Emails Did Hillary Clinton Send and Receive?


I don't want to make a big point about this, but I want to write it down in order to get comments. Here is my understanding of the results of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's 33,000 emails:

3 were marked classified. Two of these were classified in error. The third was classified correctly but was marked improperly (and was pretty trivial anyway).



110 contained information that wasn't marked classified, but which Hillary and her aides "should have known" was sensitive. That's according to FBI Director James Comey. Based on previous reporting, virtually all of these probably related to the drone program in Pakistan, which was classified but had been extensively reported in the press.


About 2,000 emails were retroactively classified as part of the FOIA process.


Is this correct? Or is there some part of this that I continue not to understand?

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/08/how-many-classified-emails-did-hillary-clinton-send-and-receive

Looks like the CEO of the DNC just resigned as well.

The chief executive of the Democratic National Committee has resigned in the wake of an email hack that embarrassed the party on the eve of its convention.


That's according to three Democratic strategists familiar with Amy Dacey's decision to leave her job. The people spoke on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.


The Democrats say other personnel moves at the party are also expected Tuesday.


The content of the hacked emails exposed an apparent :lol lack of neutrality in the primary race between Hillary Clinton (http://www.cnbc.com/hillary-clinton/) and Bernie Sanders (http://www.cnbc.com/bernie-sanders/), with party officials disparaging Sanders.

Email fallout: 3 Democratic National Committee resignations

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chief executive of the Democratic National Committee and two other top officials have resigned in the wake of an email hack that embarrassed the party on the eve of its presidential nominating convention.
CEO Amy Dacey, chief finance officer Brad Marshall and communications director Luis Miranda left their jobs on Tuesday, the party said in a statement.


The resignations are the latest fallout from the hacked emails, which exposed an apparent lack of neutrality in the primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, with some party officials disparaging Sanders.
Marshall wrote the most explosive email, questioning Sanders' Jewish faith and suggesting he could be portrayed as an atheist. He has apologized for the missive.


Earlier, party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned her position and, after being booed at a pre-convention appearance last week in Philadelphia, chose not to speak from the convention stage.
Longtime Democratic operative Donna Brazile is serving as the party's interim chair. Brazile said Tuesday that she has created a "transition team" to help prepare the party for its post-election mission. She said Tom McMahon, a former DNC executive director under then-Chair Howard Dean, will lead that group.


Clinton operatives who moved over to party headquarters after she had effectively secured the nomination in June will continue in their roles; that group includes DNC chief of staff Brandon Davis. Additionally, veteran Democratic strategist Doug Thornell will serve as an interim senior adviser to the party.


Dacey already has a new job. She has been hired by Squared Communications, a Democratic consulting firm based in Washington.
"As one of the top campaign strategists in our party, and with our experiences together on presidential, Senate and congressional campaigns, Amy will help our firm's clients navigate this and future election cycles," Michael Meehan, founder and CEO Squared Communications, said in a statement.


Before joining the DNC, Dacey was executive director of EMILY's List, which works to elect female Democrats.
The cache of more than 19,000 messages was made public by the group WikiLeaks just before the convention.
Democratic Party officials learned in late April that their systems had been attacked after they discovered malicious software on their computers. A cybersecurity firm they employed found traces of at least two sophisticated hacking groups on the Democrats' network — both of which have ties to the Russian government.

Why the Shake-up at the Democratic National Committee Is Doomed


But purging the DNC of top officials won’t remedy the DNC’s problems. Those problems aren’t attributable to individuals who didn’t do their jobs. To the contrary, those individuals probably fulfilled their responsibilities exactly as those jobs were intended to be done.

The DNC’s problems are structural.

The Democratic National Committee – like the Republican National Committee – has become little more than a giant machine designed to suck up big money from wealthy individuals, lobbyists bundlers, and corporate and Wall Street PACs.


As long as this is its de facto mission, the DNC won’t ever be kindly disposed to a campaign financed by small donations – Bernie’s, or any others.

Nor will it support campaign finance reform.

Nor will it be an institutional voice for average working people and the poor.

It won’t want to eliminate superdelegates or support open primaries because these reforms would make Democratic candidates vulnerable to non-corporate interests.

no number of purges of individuals are going to make the DNC the kind of organization that serves the public interest. And why we’re going to need a third party, or a third force, to pressure the Democratic Party to do what’s right by America.

More DNC information to come, says Wikileaks founder

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/dnc-information-come-says-wikileaks-founder/

JUDY WOODRUFF: While the Republican Party has seen its share of conflicts this week, recent events have also unearthed discord within the ranks of the Democrats as well.
The hacking of Democratic National Committee e-mails, experts say by the Russian government, and the posting of e-mails on WikiLeaks, led to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other top officials, and exposed rifts within the party.

But the revelation also caused speculation about how WikiLeaks got them and why they released them.
So, we decided to talk to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been holed up for four years to avoid extradition to the U.S.
I spoke with him a short while ago.
Julian Assange, welcome.

You said this week that WikiLeaks is going to be releasing more of the information that was hacked from the Democratic National Committee in different batches. So when will the next batch come?



JULIAN ASSANGE, Founder, WikiLeaks: I’m afraid I must correct you, Judy. I didn’t say that we would be releasing information that has been hacked from the DNC.

We said that we have a significant amount of information, and the information itself is significant, and it pertains to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. And we will be releasing it in several batches as we are finished with the journalistic work on each batch.



JUDY WOODRUFF: So, are you saying this is different from what was hacked from the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Committee?



JULIAN ASSANGE: You have DNC leaks, which is what we do, and you have DNC hacks, which is an issue that goes back several years.
There’s been a lot of confusion, which has been pushed by the Hillary Clinton campaign to try and confuse hacking of the DNC by a wide variety of actors over the last two years, and our publication of 20,000 e-mails from the DNC.



JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let me just pursue that, though. In terms of what WikiLeaks has, you have said you’re analyzing the material and you’re looking at which media partners to work with to get — I think you said maximum uptake from it.
Can you tell us anything tonight about what’s in that material?



JULIAN ASSANGE: It’s a wide range of material. It covers a number of important issues. There’s a variety of natural batches and some thematic constellations that we’re working on.
It’s interesting material. We have done enough work now that we are comfortable with the material’s authenticity. And so now it’s a matter of completing the format, layout to make it easy and accessible and so that journalists can easily extract material from it, extract stories from it, and also the general public.



JUDY WOODRUFF: What would you consider a successful outcome from all this? We know that already four top officials from the Democratic National Committee have resigned. What would you consider the successful outcome, the most damage that could be done from this?


JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, WikiLeaks began 10 years.
We take leaks, principally from whistle-blowers, of material that is of diplomatic, political, ethical or historical significance, typically about corruption or war. And we verify it. And we publish it and we write analysis about it.
And we also engineer globe-spanning media collaborations in order to get the best understanding of that material. And we place it in our library, which is available to everyone, has more than 10 million documents in it now which we feel that otherwise would not have come before the public, and that performs an ongoing role leading to great works in investigative journalism, successful court cases, civil litigation, criminal process, and, of course, also contributes to public understanding during the moments of political competition.



JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let me ask you about that, about the — what you consider a successful outcome here, because we know you have made clear your strong feelings about Hillary Clinton.
You wrote back in February — and I’m quoting now — “She’s a war hawk who gets an unseemly emotional rush out of killing people. She shouldn’t be let near a gun shop, much less an army. She certainly shouldn’t become president.”
So, I think, why shouldn’t the American people assume there’s a political motive here?



JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, let’s flip it the other way around. Let’s say that I personally, the editor — my personal opinion is different to my function as an editor.
But let’s say that, personally, I loved Hillary Clinton. Would WikiLeaks still publish this material? Of course it would. Otherwise, we would be censoring it. That’s our mandate. It’s actually interesting to think about what media organizations wouldn’t publish such material if it was given to them.

I think that’s a very interesting question. So, my position, as an analyst is that, yes, that Hillary Clinton is a war hawk. But the statement was made within the context of the early phases of the Democratic primaries. It is by no means an endorsement of Donald Trump.



JUDY WOODRUFF: But you still would oppose her becoming president, which is what you wrote?



JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, I — my personal analysis is that, if you are concerned about U.S. foreign policy and getting into foolish wars, then Hillary Clinton is not your woman. On the other hand, I mean neither is Donald Trump.



JUDY WOODRUFF: But, bottom line, why shouldn’t the American people look at this and say, this is an effort to undermine the Clinton campaign, the Democratic Party?



JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, I can reveal to you the source of the information today. The source of the information is the Democratic Party. It is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. It is the chief financial officer. It is the communications officer, Luis Miranda, in fact all these people who have just been fired, and another (INAUDIBLE) so that’s the source of the information that’s known.
As to who the intermediaries are, that’s another question. It’s also a little bit concerning to see the sort of McCarthyist attempt to frame Trump as some kind of Russian conspirator.
I think both presidential candidates are extremely problematic. But a kind of McCarthyist hysteria, trying to depict one of the candidates as somehow a Manchurian Candidate, I think is a bit disturbing. And then also a push for journalists to reveal their sources, as a journalist, it’s disgusting.


JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, I wanted to give you a chance to say what you believe, Julian Assange.
But WikiLeaks, we know, argues for transparency. It’s part of your very mission. And so isn’t this an extension of that, transparency about where this explosive material came from, how it fell into your hands?



JULIAN ASSANGE: As I said, we know exactly where it came from. It came from materials that were just published. We know exactly where it came from. It came from the DNC.



JUDY WOODRUFF: You’re saying the future batches will be material from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former head of the DNC, and others? Is that — am I hearing you correctly?


JULIAN ASSANGE: No, we haven’t said what it is precisely that we are going to publish. We’re working on it. We obviously want it to be a bit of a surprise, because it encourages public uptake and interest, which is what all — all material seeks.


JUDY WOODRUFF: Julian Assange, we thank you for talking with us.


JULIAN ASSANGE: Thank you, Judy.

These emails would only make a difference if a non-Trump Republican candidate was running against her.

Agreeing with "evil" posters? You're a fraud.

Sorry, even evil people can make good arguments, as you did. You still suck, though.

[RandomGuy]

That didnt even touch the subject that the election was rigged. LOL they cheated millions of americans out of their vote. The "democratic" in the name Democratic Party is a sham and has been exposed :lol still waiting on serious conversation on this issue tbqh.

It did. No they didn't. No it isn't, and no it hasn't.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Of course, one has to wonder why the DNC is the one being targeted here.

No such equivalent is had, even though the RNC almost certainly did something similar.

Why is that?

[RandomGuy]

Yes, but one you'll know everything he's thinking about and his own party, opposition and media will scrutinize and crucify him for his every misstep. The other will hide and conceal everything (maybe we'll find out years later) and her own party and media will give her a pass.

... and you don't think the right-wing media does the same?

As someone who opposes Trump you should be happy emails aren't being released of the RNC trying to torpedo his campaign. The bump he'd get would be yuuuuuuuuge.

U.S. intelligence agencies are almost certain that it was Russian hackers who broke into the Democratic National Committee's computer network, leaking embarrassing and politically damaging emails right before the Democratic National Convention; DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other top officials were quickly nudged out (http://theweek.com/speedreads/640535/dnc-officials-exit-following-email-scandal). On Wednesday, "officials with knowledge of the case" told The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/11/us/politics/democratic-party-russia-hack-cyberattack.html) that the Russian cyberattack is much bigger that originally thought, and that the FBI is now warning more than 100 Democratic Party officials and groups that their personal email accounts may have been hacked.


The hackers appear to have mainly targeted the emails of officials in Hillary Clinton's campaign and Democratic Party operatives, but groups like the Democratic Governors' Association may have also been hit. The motives for the hack aren't clear yet, though Democrats are bracing for an October surprise, or a slow drip of leaks. The DNC leaks came via WikiLeaks, and Julian Assange, the organization's founder, "has made it clear that he would like to hurt Mrs. Clinton's bid for the White House, opposing her candidacy on policy and personal grounds," and hinting "that he has more material about the presidential campaign that he could release," The Times says (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/11/us/politics/democratic-party-russia-hack-cyberattack.html), adding: "So far, it does not appear that the Russian hackers sought or gained access to any computer systems used by Mr. Trump."

Don't be surprised if the internet goes down before then.
