KING: Hacked DNC documents may show ugly connections between party and Hillary Clinton’s campaign

[w4rma]

Earlier this week it was announced that a hacker breached the servers of the Democratic Party and obtained the DNC's opposition research on Donald Trump. The DNC confirmed as much.
…
The hacker claims to have given over thousands of additional pages to WikiLeaks.

First, the hacker released financial records from donors to the DNC. Earlier this week the DNC vehemently denied that any such information was accessed or stolen.

Two other documents that are very concerning were internal memos. One, claiming to be written on May 26, 2015, a full year before Hillary was declared the winner of the party’s presidential nomination and months before the first primary was held, speaks of her as if she is already the nominee and how they aim to spend the following year preparing her for such a moment.

The DNC is supposed to be an unbiased arbiter of the campaign and this memo suggests anything but that. Furthermore, the memo gives strategies for they can best position her for general election. One of those strategies says they aim to, "Use specific hits to muddy the water around ethics, transparency, and campaign finance attacks on HRC."

How ugly is that? Muddying the water? What a mess.

Another memo claims that they "will utilize reporters to drive a message" but do so "with no fingerprints" on the process so that the public believes the messages are coming from the reporters and not the campaign.

1. This again?

[w4rma]

3. You don't think that Democrats should be informed of what is happening within our party? (nt)

[NurseJackie]

4. Here's what I think ...

[w4rma]

5. A very facetious response. (nt)

[AgingAmerican]

26. No integrity

[NWCorona]

27. Of course you do as it favored your candidate.

I've said it before. O'Malley is the one who should be the most upset at this.

[NurseJackie]

31. ...

[NWCorona]

32. Come on now. We can still be friends

[NurseJackie]

33. Were we ever not friends?

[NWCorona]

36. Not what I meant 😀

[laserhaas]

34. Exactly

We all shoild be upset at this.

DWS denied this...throughout

[randome]

2. The previous 2 posts about this were hidden. You should self-delete.

The memo is clearly addressed TO the DNC, which means it came from elsewhere and it is dated the same date as when Sanders declared his candidacy so at the time there was only one candidate running for the Democratic Party.

Um, in fact, yours was one of the prior posts hidden. What the hell are you trying to do?

[NurseJackie]

8. It's a game now ... they'll just keep re-posting until the get lucky with a friendly jury.

What the hell are you trying to do?

It's pretty obvious what the answer is, but I doubt you'd be able to get the poster to admit it.

[w4rma]

9. "The DNC confirmed as much." (nt)

[randome]

13. Yeah, so? So some hacker managed to steal a document addressed to the DNC.

Your point? Can you read the part that says it's TO the DNC? Do you see the date? Do you see the portion that mentions working with the DNC?

[w4rma]

16. "thousands of additional pages" "released financial records from donors to the DNC." (nt)

[randome]

18. And is there anything wrong with people donating to the Democratic Party?

It's kind of how political parties work. Including Sanders' campaign.

[w4rma]

20. Accurate. But, you make no point. (nt)

[randome]

22. Normally I let posts like yours be the last word because anyone can see you've lost the debate.

But in this case:

[w4rma]

25. As I said, you made no point. (nt)

[KingFlorez]

6. I recall seeing another one of your posts hidden

You are really going off the rails here.

[NurseJackie]

10. There've been more than that.

"Off the rails" doesn't begin to describe it.

and

[Cooley Hurd]

21. 6 hides yourself.

Hardly speaking from a position of virtue there.

[KingFlorez]

23. Because people like you hit the alert button obsessively

Can't say anything negative about Sanders, right? This isn't even about me, the OP had almost the exact same post hidden today, yet posted it again.

[Cooley Hurd]

28. No, because *perhaps* you're having trouble following the TOS of this site?

In the last 5 juries I've been a part of, I've both hidden and let stay posts from both Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders supporters, equally. And have only alerted on the most sordid and the most nasty of posts *that violate the TOS*... again from BOTH sides.

"People like me"? Yeah, if there were more people like me on this site, Skinner wouldn't have to enact a WHOLE NEW system to curb the bad behavior here (by people with 5 hides or more ).

You're another "sore winner" who will drive votes away from Secretary Clinton at *her* peril with such behavior.

Think about it, Skippy...

[KingFlorez]

29. Regardless of your issues with me, the OP is still completely ridiculous

The whole hacker email isn't really even credible, since there is clearly no evidence the email was sent from the DNC.

[Cooley Hurd]

30. I have no issue with you personally...

...but I have a HUGE issue with people whose behavior makes this site suck by continually disregarding the TOS, and *much more importantly*, chase votes away from our presumptive nominee, Secretary Clinton.

Again... *THINK* about it.

[Tal Vez]

7. If all of the opposition research on Trump gets to the public without the party having

to be responsible for releasing it, that could be a good thing. However, I am absolutely certain that there will always be more to discover about Trump.

[w4rma]

11. The silver lining to the hack. (nt)

[Tarc]

12. Shaun King, #2 Bernie shill, only behind HA Goodman

Not worth the time of day to read or rebut.

[randome]

14. The guy who said Sanders won Nevada? Then conveniently forgot about it?

[NurseJackie]

35. That's the one.

[pdsimdars]

15. If at first you don't succeed . . ....

I guess if you can't win on your message, you have to do anything you can and say anything you must.

[AtomicKitten]

17. Compared to the excellent job Howard Dean did as DNC Chair, WikiLeaks has exposed the corruption

-- within the Democratic Party/DNC. The DNC under DWS has functioned as an arm of the Clinton campaign.

k/r

[randome]

19. You are not paying attention. The memo did not come from the DNC.

[stillwaiting]

39. But she promised she was being fair and impartial to all candidates!!!!

You are not saying she is a liar, are you?!?!

I certainly am.

[Wednesdays]

24. MAY show?

Hell, there's a thread already rising to the top of the Greatest Page about a leaked memo between HRC campaign and DNC, highlighting that very thing!

[jamese777]

37. Time Is On Her Side, yes it is

Hillary Clinton has been a Democrat for 47 years: First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State.
Bernie Sanders has been a Democrat for 16 months; Joined to take advantage of the party's structure/funding after being an independent. As an Independent he was allowed to Chair a Senate Committee and be ranking member on the Budget Committee; as a non-Democrat.

Seniority has its privileges.

[arcane1]

38. I liked the old you better.

On second thought, no I didn't

[bvar22]

40. Its nice to have documented confirmation,

but the organized Pro-Hillary AstroTurf Media bias and election manipulations originating from the DNC and the Media were obvious to anyone with two brain cells.
