FBI Director: Guccifer Admitted He Lied About Hacking Hillary Clinton's Email (dailydot.com)
blottsie writes from a report via The Daily Dot: The Romanian hacker known as Guccifer (real name Marcel Lehel Lazar) admitted to the FBI that he lied to the public when he said he repeatedly hacked into Hillary Clinton's email server in 2013. FBI Director James Comey testified before members on Congress on Thursday that Guccifer never hacked into Clinton's servers and in fact admitted that he lied. Lazar told Fox News and NBC News in May 2016 about his alleged hacking. Despite offering no proof, the claim caused a huge stir, including making headline news on some of America's biggest publications, which offered little skepticism of his claims. "Can you confirm that Guccifer never gained access to her server?" asked Texas Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold. "He did not. He admitted that was a lie," Comey replied. Lazar is currently imprisoned in Alexandria, Virginia, following his extradition from Romania.
The biggest problem the republicans have with trump is that he is too left for them in some points. For example, Trump still demands that the international treaties should be made in a way that the USA profits from them, and not just the corporations. This is something the republicans don't really like.
Also, he supports an obamacare-like system, albeit he of course has critique points of the obamacare system. In republican TV debate he said: "I don't want to let the people die in the streets". After that, other republicans wondered whether they were in the republican debate because of Trumps "left" points.
Also, he is much rather a populist than a Nazi. Nazis usually are not populists. However, he talks in a way Nazis can identify with. Probably lots of Trump supporters are Nazis.
Either way, I still prefer Trump over, say sarah palin.
