How Putin Weaponized Wikileaks to Influence the Election of an American President

If Putin was able to prove to you that your spouse was cheating on you, would you look the other way because it was Putin telling you? Liberals rigged an election. The source of the information doesn't matter.

Please explain exactly how "Liberals rigged an election" - with "credible" sources that can be verified as fact. Just because the DNC may have "favored" Hillary over Bernie doesn't mean it was "rigged". The DNC "favored" Obama over Hillary in 2008. Bernie wasn't "cheated" out of anything. The DNC system never changed from beginning to end. Even Bernie said publicly that Hillary won fair and square - which she did. So, stop with the "rigged" shit or explain it to us with "credible" sources that can be verified as fact.

Then why was Debbie Wasserman-Schultz unceremoniously shown the door? Why did delegates shout "we trusted you" during speeches last night? The election was clearly rigged in Hillary's favor. That's not even debatable. But feel free to continue to stick your head in the sand.

Well, then explain how it was "rigged" and explain exactly what Bernie was "cheated" out of. BTW, from all accounted Debbie made the decision to resign on her own because she didn't want to be the "story" - a distraction heading into the General Election. Fact and truth can be your friend. Try it.

Funny. Even if true - how was that "rigged"? Weren't both candidates on the same stage at the same time?

Debbie resigned because she got caught and subsequently run off stage by her fellow Democrats. Have you not been paying attention? I agree, fact and truth can be your friend. So try it!

Evidence suggests that a Russian intelligence group was the source of the most recent Wikileaks intel dump, which was aimed to influence the U.S. election.

Close your eyes and imagine that a hacking group backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin broke into the email system of a major U.S. political party. The group stole thousands of sensitive messages and then published them through an obliging third party in a way that was strategically timed to influence the United States presidential election. Now open your eyes, because that’s what just happened.

On Friday, Wikileaks published 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee. They reveal, among other things,thuggish infighting, a push by a top DNC official to use Bernie Sanders’ religious convictions against him in the South, and attempts to strong-arm media outlets. In other words, they reveal the Washington campaign monster for what it is.

But leave aside the purported content of the Wikileaks data dump (to which numerous other outlets have devoted considerable attention) and consider the source. Considerable evidence shows that the Wikileaks dump was an orchestrated act by the Russian government, working through proxies, to undermine Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign.

“This has all the hallmarks of tradecraft. The only rationale to release such data from the Russian bulletproof host was to empower one candidate against another. The Cold War is alive and well,” Tom Kellermann, the CEO of Strategic Cyber Ventures told Defense One.

Here’s the timeline: On June 14, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, under contract with the DNC, announced in a blog post that two separate Russian intelligence groups had gained access to the DNC network. One group, FANCY BEAR or APT 28, gained access in April. The other, COZY BEAR, (also called Cozy Duke andAPT 29) first breached the network in the summer of 2015.

Cybersecurity company FireEye first discovered APT 29 in 2014 and was quick to point out a clear Kremlin connection. “We suspect the Russian government sponsors the group because of the organizations it targets and the data it steals. Additionally, APT 29 appeared to cease operations on Russian holidays, and their work hours seem to align with the UTC +3 time zone, which contains cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg,” they wrote in their report on the group. Other U.S. officials have said that the group looks like it has sponsorship from the Russian government due in large part to the level of sophistication behind the group’s attacks.

It’s the same group that hit the State Department, the White House, and the civilian email of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The group’s modus operandi (a spearphishing attack that uploads adistinctive remote access tool on the target’s computer) is well known to cyber-security researchers.

In his blog post on the DNC breaches CrowdStrike’s CTO Dmitri Alperovitchwrote “We’ve had lots of experience with both of these actors attempting to target our customers in the past and know them well. In fact, our team considers them some of the best adversaries out of all the numerous nation-state, criminal and hacktivist/terrorist groups we encounter on a daily basis. Their tradecraft is superb, operational security second to none and the extensive usage of ‘living-off-the-land’ techniques enables them to easily bypass many security solutions they encounter.”

The next day, an individual calling himself Guccifer 2.0 claimed to be the culprit behind the breach and released key documents to back up the claim, writing: “Shame on CrowdStrike.”

One would hope that most Americans would be smart enough not to take Putin's bait. We'll see...

I haven't seen any direct evidence Trump is in collusion with Putin on this but if it exists and comes to light this qualifies as treason. The real thing.

So you're not willing to say there is evidence linking Trump, but you are willing to jump to "treason?"

:wtf:
This dummy still pretends he can't read.

I see your point. If we assume Trump is guilty, then it's easy to prove he's guilty. Why would Putin give a shit about a real estate mogul or vice versa? Even in your paranoid delusional world? Because he's a Republican? OMG, Trump is a Jew, isn't he? That would explain it, wouldn't it Adolph?
To think Putin doesn't care who's in the oval office is pretty naive.

NATO has been a pain in the ass for every Russian leader from Stalin to Putin and up pops Donald Trump who thinks NATO has outlived it's usefulness and seeks less US support. With joint support for the Ukraine by NATO and the US, a friend in the oval office would be a welcome change for Putin.

There is certainly evidence of growing link between these these men. Putin called Trump “a colorful person, talented, without any doubt” and said: “It’s not our business to decide his merits, that’s for US voters, but he is absolutely the leader in the presidential race.” Last week, Aleksey Pushkov, the head of the Duma’s foreign affairs committee, tweeted: “Clinton’s credo is to strengthen US alliances against Russia; Trump’s credo is only to respond to real threats. Aggressive banality versus common sense.”
In turn, Trump has described Putin approvingly as a “strong leader” with whom he would have “a very good relationship”.

Then there's Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager who worked as an adviser to Viktor Yanukovych, former Ukrainian president and a Vladimir Putin ally ousted in a revolution. Yanukovych is now living in exit in Russia. And then there's Carter Page, a Trump foreign policy adviser with a long history of financial ties to the Russian energy giant Gazprom.


Putin is surely backing Trump, whether or not Russia was behind DNC hack

Swish, I never said Putin doesn't care. Try reading more carefully.

That Hillary is the strong leader Putin fears is laughable, that's what I was mocking.

I mean duh
 
Putin is afraid of Hillary. She won't take his shit and European aggression against our allies. Even rapist puke Julian Assange is afraid of Hillary - because he knows she's a hawk.

Putin would certain give a shit about Trump because he is potentially the next president. Putin would love to see the US lessen support for NATO and adapt a more isolationist policy. A win for Trump would be a win for Putin.

My question was regarding BEFORE he ran for President. Why would Trump and Putin had a relationship when Trump was a real estate mogul in the US? They had no reason to work together. The ridiculous claim is that somehow they were in cahoots. Can we move past the obvious at some point?

Oh, so you don't mind foreign intervention into our election process - even from adversaries like communist Russia and a former KGB agent. I assume you also don't mind them hacking into the State and Defense Departments, either. Interesting...

Cybersecurity company FireEye first discovered APT 29 in 2014 and was quick to point out a clear Kremlin connection. “We suspect the Russian government sponsors the group because of the organizations it targets and the data it steals. Additionally, APT 29 appeared to cease operations on Russian holidays, and their work hours seem to align with the UTC +3 time zone, which contains cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg,” they wrote in their report on the group. Other U.S. officials have said that the group looks like it has sponsorship from the Russian government due in large part to the level of sophistication behind the group’s attacks.

It’s the same group that hit the State Department, the White House, and the civilian email of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The group’s modus operandi (a spearphishing attack that uploads adistinctive remote access tool on the target’s computer) is well known to cyber-security researchers.

In his blog post on the DNC breaches CrowdStrike’s CTO Dmitri Alperovitchwrote “We’ve had lots of experience with both of these actors attempting to target our customers in the past and know them well. In fact, our team considers them some of the best adversaries out of all the numerous nation-state, criminal and hacktivist/terrorist groups we encounter on a daily basis. Their tradecraft is superb, operational security second to none and the extensive usage of ‘living-off-the-land’ techniques enables them to easily bypass many security solutions they encounter.”

The next day, an individual calling himself Guccifer 2.0 claimed to be the culprit behind the breach and released key documents to back up the claim, writing: “Shame on CrowdStrike.”

One would hope that most Americans would be smart enough not to take Putin's bait. We'll see...


I don't see what harm was done since the "liberal" media is determined to help Hillary get reelected. The Putin report, if true, merely evens out the plain field.

Oh, so you don't mind foreign intervention into our election process - even from adversaries like communist Russia and a former KGB agent. I assume you also don't mind them hacking into the State and Defense Departments, either. Interesting...

You wouldn't care either if they were supporting Democrats, Tonto

Evidence suggests that a Russian intelligence group was the source of the most recent Wikileaks intel dump, which was aimed to influence the U.S. election.

Close your eyes and imagine that a hacking group backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin broke into the email system of a major U.S. political party. The group stole thousands of sensitive messages and then published them through an obliging third party in a way that was strategically timed to influence the United States presidential election. Now open your eyes, because that’s what just happened.

On Friday, Wikileaks published 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee. They reveal, among other things,thuggish infighting, a push by a top DNC official to use Bernie Sanders’ religious convictions against him in the South, and attempts to strong-arm media outlets. In other words, they reveal the Washington campaign monster for what it is.

But leave aside the purported content of the Wikileaks data dump (to which numerous other outlets have devoted considerable attention) and consider the source. Considerable evidence shows that the Wikileaks dump was an orchestrated act by the Russian government, working through proxies, to undermine Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign.

“This has all the hallmarks of tradecraft. The only rationale to release such data from the Russian bulletproof host was to empower one candidate against another. The Cold War is alive and well,” Tom Kellermann, the CEO of Strategic Cyber Ventures told Defense One.

Yo Vern Don't forget that Hillary is doing her best to attract the communist , aka the "progressive" followers of Comrade Sanders


.Furthermore, Putin is preventing Hillary from using NATO and Israel to start WWIII.

I haven't seen any direct evidence Trump is in collusion with Putin on this but if it exists and comes to light this qualifies as treason. The real thing.

So you're not willing to say there is evidence linking Trump, but you are willing to jump to "treason?"

:wtf:
This dummy still pretends he can't read.

I see your point. If we assume Trump is guilty, then it's easy to prove he's guilty. Why would Putin give a shit about a real estate mogul or vice versa? Even in your paranoid delusional world? Because he's a Republican? OMG, Trump is a Jew, isn't he? That would explain it, wouldn't it Adolph?
To think Putin doesn't care who's in the oval office is pretty naive.

NATO has been a pain in the ass for every Russian leader from Stalin to Putin and up pops Donald Trump who thinks NATO has outlived it's usefulness and seeks less US support. With joint support for the Ukraine by NATO and the US, a friend in the oval office would be a welcome change for Putin.

There is certainly evidence of growing link between these these men. Putin called Trump “a colorful person, talented, without any doubt” and said: “It’s not our business to decide his merits, that’s for US voters, but he is absolutely the leader in the presidential race.” Last week, Aleksey Pushkov, the head of the Duma’s foreign affairs committee, tweeted: “Clinton’s credo is to strengthen US alliances against Russia; Trump’s credo is only to respond to real threats. Aggressive banality versus common sense.”
In turn, Trump has described Putin approvingly as a “strong leader” with whom he would have “a very good relationship”.

Then there's Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager who worked as an adviser to Viktor Yanukovych, former Ukrainian president and a Vladimir Putin ally ousted in a revolution. Yanukovych is now living in exit in Russia. And then there's Carter Page, a Trump foreign policy adviser with a long history of financial ties to the Russian energy giant Gazprom.


Putin is surely backing Trump, whether or not Russia was behind DNC hack
The Ukraine is the second largest contributor to the Clinton Foundation.

Swish, I never said Putin doesn't care. Try reading more carefully.

That Hillary is the strong leader Putin fears is laughable, that's what I was mocking.

I mean duh
You raised the question, "Why would Putin give a shit about a real estate mogul or vice versa?"

Putin would certain give a shit about Trump because he is potentially the next president. Putin would love to see the US lessen support for NATO and adapt a more isolationist policy. A win for Trump would be a win for Putin.

My question was regarding BEFORE he ran for President. Why would Trump and Putin had a relationship when Trump was a real estate mogul in the US? They had no reason to work together. The ridiculous claim is that somehow they were in cahoots. Can we move past the obvious at some point?
It seems unlikely that Putin would have any interest in Trump before he decided to run. After he began his campaign, well that's a different story.
