DNC Hacker Releases Clinton Foundation Documents (washingtonexaminer.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Following a report that Russian hackers penetrated the DNC's database, a hacker, who identifies himself as "Guccifer 2.0" after a popular Romanian hacker who hacked various American political figures, most notably Hillary Clinton and her private server, has published documents on Tuesday that he says came from the party's digital files. The documents detail Clinton's weaknesses as a candidate, and include a collection of negative press clips about the Clinton Foundation and a list of defenses against attacks on her private email use. Washington Examiner reports: "Another document, titled '2016 Democrats Positions Cheat Sheet,' listed major policy issues and indicated where Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, Lincoln Chaffee, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden -- all former or possible rivals for the Democratic nomination -- stood on each issue." The documents contain information ranging from how the Clinton Foundation and its allies should respond to criticisms of the Clinton Foundation's revenue sources to how Chelsea Clinton wasn't able to answer questions about Clinton Foundation donations and other instances in which Bill Clinton was called a "sexual predator" for his past indiscretions. Even though the cybersecurity breach was blamed on the Russian government, the Kremlin has denied any involvement. The DNC also has yet to confirm or deny the authenticity of the leaked documents.
Just as Russia denies it's invasion of Ukraine, it's supplying weapons to the terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, it's oppression of the Tartars in Crimea via deportation, forbidding them from speaking their own language or having their own schools, the theft of people's property and businesses which are turned over to oligarch's in Putin's inner circle, the shutting down of independent news organizations which expose Putin's corruption, the deliberate bombing of hospitals in Syria. The list goes on
Because there is no word for truth in the Russian language it's easy for Russia to deny anything.
