Podesta asked his IT person whether the email he received, asking him to reset his password, was a phishing attempt. IT responded "It's the real deal", meaning that it was phishing. Podesta took this to mean that the request was legitimate, he changed his password, giving it to the hackers.<br /><br />Andrew_M_Garlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855052302054611917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-32647379853446200272017-07-12T16:25:43.686-04:002017-07-12T16:25:43.686-04:00"According to media Russia provided informati..."According to media Russia provided information that was hurtful to Hillary without ever telling what that information was."<br /><br />The information was simply the truth.TheOldManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341522689122022770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-2598571131810246392017-07-12T16:23:33.675-04:002017-07-12T16:23:33.675-04:00IIRC there was no "hack" of Podesta'...IIRC there was no "hack" of Podesta's email.

I guess he is...Trump is returning to Europe today. I guess he is happy to leave that madhouse, Washington DC. After his last, very successful , European trip it didn´t take long until the schemers and plotters in DC were at it again. Even Frau Merkel said over here that it is a blessing for us all if the US and Russia get along and it seemed to be the case a couple of days ago. But the media, colluding with the warmongers in DC, could of course not allow it. Are there no other problems in the US to analyze and discuss, like education, healthcare, crimes, taxes ? All is well ? Because they chew this Russia-burger again and again like it was the biggest piece of news on the globe. And it will turn out a nothing-burger again, I am sure. I remember some real scandals brewing during the Obama years, for example that tarmac meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton...and now, the murder of Seth Rich... Something for true investigative journalism to bite on. But it doesn´t exist anymore. <br />There is this irritating twist in the " reporting" on Russia. According to media Russia provided information that was hurtful to Hillary without ever telling what that information was. That information is the only thing interesting here, at least to me.<br />Swedishlady Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-17320930108496406932017-07-11T20:24:12.218-04:002017-07-11T20:24:12.218-04:00I see Joe Scarborough is leaving the Republican Pa...I see Joe Scarborough is leaving the Republican Party?

This one:<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/11/us/politics/trump-russia-email-clinton.html<br /><br />Notice there's a significant amount of "adjusting" between what I'm of the opinion was the article you'd Diplomad Sir read ...<br /><br />(I'm basing my analysis on "whitewall's" time of comment posting above ie: July 11, 2017 at 6:50 AM - first comment on this thread as it happens - then the post-time of the NYT article I list.)<br /><br />And then this later one above which, I'm doubting we'll be seeing anything like either of the CNN or the WaPo very recent announcements (CNN) "Two staffers resign ... sourcing errors" and the (WaPo) "Upon review ... inadequate editorial oversight WaPo retracts" ... <br /><br />Anyway, I've personally taken to streaming that Maddow/MSNBC *personage* (and yep, I'm gulping handsfull of Prilosec) but the important thing I'm seeing from what she [Maddow] reported NYT said yesterday as opposed to "the clarifying" I'm seeing in this most recent NYT posting is ... In a word<br /><br />Discrepancy. <br /><br />Looks to me (and I have some "experience") there's some CYA happening in the New York Times' *Verification Office.*<br /><br />Disclaimer - I don't know which NYT article Diplomad Sir, you "depended on."<br /><br />JKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-30464014874799099322017-07-11T14:16:06.279-04:002017-07-11T14:16:06.279-04:00Make that last paragraph, "Judging by the cov...Make that last paragraph, "Judging by the coverage, Mexico (whose president's own campaign allegedly received financing from the Juárez Cartel) does not exist unless Trump talks about the fence."<br /><br />with apologies!Faustahttp://faustasblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-67505849492644143102017-07-11T14:03:07.228-04:002017-07-11T14:03:07.228-04:00There is a bigger question. How have the Democrats...There is a bigger question. How have the Democrats and Republicans meddled in US elections? Here is what I mean.<br /><br />The only event reported of Russian meddling is the hacking of John Podesta's emails. These revealed the dirty tricks and bias of the Dem party, especially the actions taken against Bernie Sanders' campaign. I haven't seen any discussion of any evidence that this hacking was directed by the Russian government or any government.<br /><br />The damage here came from revealing some of the truth behind Dem operations. The old joke: A verbal blunder in politics is accidentally revealing the truth. I want to know about Dem and Pub secret actions. I am not concerned that their supposed rights to privacy were violated.<br /><br />I see political parties as public operations. They receive special privileges from the government and are making public offerings to gain office and power. They should have no more right to privacy and lies than public corporations making announcements about earnings. There should be FOIA rights of discovery about all of their internal communications. What should they be able to hide? I would allow political parties limited rights to privacy during an election and none after an election.<br /><br />We should not have to rely on Russians or hackers to reveal the truth about the lies and dirty tricks of our political parties.<br /><br />Andrew_M_Garlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855052302054611917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-54543347397498699842017-07-11T13:52:25.761-04:002017-07-11T13:52:25.761-04:00I've been posting on LatAm for 13+ years.

And that was because i looked hard.<br /><br />For over a decade I regularly used to find reports on LatAm, sometimes having to decide which stories out of many to post about. That was then. This is now.<br /><br />And it's not just the MSM. Saturday I had a post up on Lopez's release before the WaPo, WSJ & NYT. I flogged it to major conservative blogs and all ignored it except for Doug Ross. instead people wee opining on Ivanka's meeting at the G20.<br /><br />"Was Russian meddling in our election worse and more consequential than that by Mexico?"<br />Judging by the coverage, Mexico (whose campaign allegedly received financing from the Juárez Cartel) does not exist unless Trump talks about the fence.<br /><br />Useful distraction indeed.Faustahttp://faustasblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-44373060857064035592017-07-11T13:02:39.811-04:002017-07-11T13:02:39.811-04:00Good luck in Vegas!
