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].

    We have moved on from this now. The real question on everyone's minds is

    What about the large number of donors who, immediately after their hefty donations, received pneumonia?

    Well, at least there's one place you can go that isn't kneeling before Trump and sucking noisily.

    Naah, that's overblown. She was just having a routine problem with her human suit. Happens all the time. Those things don't last forever, you know. Gotta be replaced every now and then. The real trick is getting the aging correct since you can't just show up looking like you're 20 again. Humans tend to get suspicious when that happens.

    It's actually a rather complicated procedure because of how tightly integrated human suits are with lizard person physiology, so that's why she needed so much time off in August. "Skinning" can actually be a form of torture and can be fatal without the proper medical attention.

    It should be smooth sailing now!

    Perhaps we need some sort of affirmative action program to ensure that conservative journalists aren't blackballed like that.

    So it's okay to give money to a private political organization in order to get favors from the government?

    Well, in the sense that it's not illegal, has been going on for 200+ years and the country has survived, it's 'okay'.

    If Hillary was really a modern William Tweed there would be a lot more interesting stuff in those email dumps.
