I believe you AA, especially your second example.

Holy smokes, froot. I feel for you, man.

You teed it up so magnificently that I thought you were looking for an assist. To let that one go would be Internet Malfeasance of the Highest Order.

Teed it up? That Saban cusses? He does. I do, too, on occasion.

so heres an interesting article

again that dreaded leak instead of hack seems to be a theme from a much more liberal source no less

[hack]

Trying to establish leaks at the DNC as the "foundation stones" of whatever is happening is demonstrably incorrect, though. This is some skillful writing, but it's not in service of the facts we know and have seen.

lmao

DNC contacted the theNation and claimed the article is trumps doings

the sad part is if true--and I have not seen a shred of proof by the dnc that shows they were hacked vs an inside leak--but mue;llers entire investigation is prefaced on a con job by the dnc

wonder who the leaker was

[crashcourse]

The chief researchers active on the DNC case are four: William Binney, formerly the NSA’s technical director for world geopolitical and military analysis and designer of many agency programs now in use; Kirk Wiebe, formerly a senior analyst at the NSA’s SIGINT Automation Research Center; Edward Loomis, formerly technical director in the NSA’s Office of Signal Processing; and Ray McGovern, an intelligence analyst for nearly three decades and formerly chief of the CIA’s Soviet Foreign Policy Branch. Most of these men have decades of experience in matters concerning Russian intelligence and the related technologies. This article reflects numerous interviews with all of them conducted in person, via Skype, or by telephone.
The customary VIPS format is an open letter, typically addressed to the president. The group has written three such letters on the DNC incident, all of which were first published by Robert Parry at www.consortiumnews.com. Here is the latest, dated July 24; it blueprints the forensic work this article explores in detail. They have all argued that the hack theory is wrong and that a locally executed leak is the far more likely explanation. In a letter to Barack Obama dated January 17, three days before he left office, the group explained that the NSA’s known programs are fully capable of capturing all electronic transfers of data. “We strongly suggest that you ask NSA for any evidence it may have indicating that the results of Russian hacking were given to WikiLeaks,” the letter said. “If NSA cannot produce such evidence—and quickly—this would probably mean it does not have any.”

If it was some lefty leak out of the DNC that doesn't mean Kushner didn't lie on his disclosure forms. It doesn't mean Sessions had no conflicts of interest, that Flynn didn't lobby for the Turks without disclosing, that this, that that, that the next thing. Facts, dude. This shit happened. Why it happened is another thing, but this shit happened, and it's illegal.

Rich Higgins, one of Flynn's cronies that McMaster fired from the NSC, wrote this controversial memo in which he accused McMaster himself of being part of a deep state conspiracy to undermine Trump (not by name, but everyone who read it knew who it referred to). The memo itself is at the link. It's full of Alt Right conspiracy theories.

It should raise eyebrows that Don Trump Jr. somehow got a hold of this memo and was the one to bring it to his dad's attention (dad approved heartily of it). How is Don Jr. getting highly classified material?
