Anonymous Doxes Trump, But Leaked Info Underwhelms

Mic.com reports that the "total war" declared by Anonymous against presidential candidate Donald Trump has resulted in a grandly presented leak of some personal information. Items alleged to be personal information about Trump have been posted to PasteBin; these include a social security number purported to be his, contact information for some Trump business associates (including his agent and his lawyer's office), and some information about his family relationships. As Tech Insider points out, though, the YouTube video announcing the dump seems to overstate its significance, in that none of the information leaked is new or earth-shattering -- most of it could be quickly gleaned from a Google search or a visit to Wikipedia.

    Clearly Bernie Sanders is behind this attack, and therefore, Bernie Sanders is Anonymous. Arrest him!

    With a name like "donthackmebro" I'm not sure you're in a position to speak on the subject without implicating yourself.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, this has all the hallmarks of an amateurish false flag operation against Anonymous. The track record of the "real" Anonymous shows a level and depth of skill that does not correlate with this lowball drivel.

    It's the same thing with the user on slashdot called "Anonymous Coward". Sometimes, "Anonymous Coward" can be super insightful and eloquent, the rest of the time, I feel the FBI is trying to run a false flag operation against its reputation by spouting off spammy, racist, and idiotic comments under its handle. The FBI truly has no shame.

    As an outside observer I think the main divide between Republicans and Democrats is that of idealists and pragmatics.

    I think it's more like Jarod Kintz put it in This Book is Not FOR SALE: “There exists a big circus tent, and the right entrance is named The Republicans, and the left entrance is called The Democrats. People argue over which is the correct path, not realizing everyone inside is a clown.”
