Guccifer 2.0 Dumps a Bunch of Clinton Foundation Donor Data (engadget.com)

The hacker Guccifer 2.0 today released a large database of information reportedly stolen from the Clinton Foundation. The dump, Engadget reports, includes names, addresses, and emails of both individuals and corporate donors as well as their contribution amounts. From the report: This, of course, isn't the first time Guccifer or his friends at Wikileaks and the Kremlin have attempted to subvert the US political process during this election cycle. Just last month Guccifer released Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Kaine's personal cell phone number. What's more, nearly half of the country's state voter registration systems have recently come under cyberattack, according to the DHS, though the FBI has not yet determined if those breaches originated in Russia. There are also a number of unanswered questions regarding Republican nominee, Donald Trump's, connection to these attacks. Four House Democrats recently demanded that the FBI investigate the nominee after he "jokingly" suggested that Russia find and release the 33,000 emails reportedly missing from Hillary Clinton's private email server.

    So we're to understand that Trump is running these hacker groups?

    Whoa, hey there buddy, no one said that. No, that's not what they said, they said that there are unanswered questions. What are the questions? That's not important. How many are there? The amount of unanswered questions can be described as "a number", as opposed to "a fish" or "a tree". I don't know why you have to jump to all of these inflammatory conclusions like Trump is running these hacker groups, all anyone is saying is that there is a certain quantity of questions, where the quantity is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and the questions have not been answered.

    So, anyway, since you brought it up, why do you think that Trump is running these hacker groups? I'm just asking questions.
