Site connected to Russian hackers posts Republican emails |
2016-08-14 |
[MSN] A website tied to the hacking scandal of the Democratic Party has now posted a small batch of leaked emails from Republican campaigns and state GOP staffers. Rather more snoozy than the Dem emails. The emails on the site, known as DCLeaks, appear to be from state party officials and former Republican presidential candidates, including Sen. ![]() ... the endangered South Carolina RINO... (R-S.C.). The messages range from June to October of 2015. The DNC hacker or hackers known as Guccifer 2.0 used DC Leaks to promote leaks from a Clinton staffer's email to The Smoking Gun, though the hacker claimed not to have been involved with the theft of the messages. Most of the messages coordinate campaign activities, solicit funds, or invite or RSVP to events. The archive is largely the procedural minutia of running campaigns or state parties. The emails include a wide array of constituent email addresses. Many appear to be responses to mass-emails from concerned party supporters writing in to their delegates. One reply to a Stop Hillary PAC fundraising email targeting Democrats lack of support for the Benghazi commission reads, "Don't the Republicans have a majority in Congress? Isn't John It is not pronounced 'Boner!'Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... a Republican? What is the problem that you need my $36 to help you fight back." |

#6 Most of the messages coordinate campaign activities, solicit funds, or invite or RSVP to events. The archive is largely the procedural minutia of running campaigns or state parties. In other words kind of boring? It's because the Pubs are not all a bunch of criminals. |

#5 Stupidity is bad but stupidity combined with arrogance is really, really bad and extremely dangerous. It got John Stewart a lucrative, long-term contract. |

#4 It's still bad. The same principle applies: How can you trust people to run the government when they are so incompetent that they cannot even manage an email server? They don't even know what they don't know and they don't have sense enough to find out from somebody who does know. Stupidity is bad but stupidity combined with arrogance is really, really bad and extremely dangerous. |

#2 The trouble with these is that there is no scandalous behavior in any of them. They are snoozers. |

#1 It was only a matter of time, even if the DNC had to pay for the hack itself just to even things out a bit. |
