Guccifer 2.0 Releases More DNC Documents (politico.com)

For the past several months, the hacker who calls himself "Guccifer 2.0" has been releasing documents about the Democratic National Committee. Today, he has released a new hoard of documents. Politico reports: The hacker persona Guccifer 2.0 has released a new trove of documents that allegedly reveal more information about the Democratic National Committee's finances and personal information on Democratic donors, as well as details about the DNC's network infrastructure. The cache also includes purported memos on tech initiatives from Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine's time as governor of Virginia, and some years-old missives on redistricting efforts and DNC donor outreach strategy. Most notable among Tuesday's documents may be the detailed spreadsheets allegedly about DNC fundraising efforts, including lists of DNC donors with names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and other sensitive details. Tuesday's documents regarding the DNC's information technology setup include several reports from 2010 purporting to show that the committee's network passed multiple security scans. In total, the latest dump contains more than 600 megabytes of documents. It is the first Guccifer 2.0 release to not come from the hacker's WordPress account. Instead, it was given out via a link to the small group of security experts attending [a London cybersecurity conference].

Well, when you get Trump supporters interpreting "Make America Great Again" in clearly racist terms, then you start to understand the dog whistles that are clearly hitting their mark.

There was a CNN panel (yes, admittedly absurd sampling) where the biggest Trump supporter was saying stuff like "they give all this stuff to the illegals, that I as a regular white person can't get". First of all, the ignorance is pretty astounding. I don't know what 'stuff' she was talking about, but all government benefits are available to all qualifying citizens. And non-citizens don't qualify for any of it. But in any case, she's been fed a constant diet of 'reverse racism' against white people, and that's the mindset in which she hears "Make America Great Again". And Trump is fully aware of this - and courting it. So how is this the same as Clinton again...?
