I'm surprised his team hasn't taken away all his electronics yet to be honest. Well perhaps they did and that was teh reason for his twitter tirade the other day...he had to sneak out of bed at 3 am and find his confiscated items hidden in a closet somewhere while everyone was sleeping.

This afternoon, something called "Guccifer" claimed to have hacked into the Clinton Foundation and released 820MB of data, including a folder marked "PAY TO PLAY." This was billed as the smoking gun regarding Hillary's supposed corruption, and Trump's supporters went wild with it.

Turned out what they'd actually hacked into was the Democratic Party of Virginia, and what they'd released was as-yet-unused opposition research into two Republican congressmen.

Do you have any sources or article with more info on this? All I can find is a reddit article on it, and nothing there talks about it being from Virginia Democrats. The Guccifer 2.0 twitter is talking about how it is from Clinton Foundation?

Also Twitter chat from people who've examined the files that they've only found items from the DNC and Virginia Democrats, and nothing from the CF.

Interesting; I mean, either way we know the DNC security sucks, so not as bad. But odd that dems are in a position that they're just happy the DNC was hacked again, and not the Clinton Foundation.

I know it's a common term, and the twitter linked above the reporter says that it contained research on Republican congressmen.

But claiming that the Clinton Foundation would have a pay to play folder just sitting there...

It's always amazing how the most conspiratorial groups ever like the Clinton Foundation would just brazenly have a folder called "Pay to Play", and people actually believe it. Trump supporters are actually making a very compelling argument for both increased education and mental health funding. I also think if I was Trump I'd be trying to sell my mailing list to the highest bidder when this election is done. Either Kevin Trudeau or those seed money churches would make a killing off that list.

Now that Clinton is moving up in the polls again, Trump is ramping up his rigged election stuff again and even went back on his debate commitment to accept the result if Clinton won.

It wasn't hacked again. This is all leftover stuff from the first hack. But again Trump supporters are in line for the Flavor Aid, you could tell them you found evidence of Hillary accepting money from literal Satan and they'd believe it. InfoWars is booming right now in the related.

You'd be surprised; a lot of the things that DNC, Debbie WS, Clinton, Foundation execs said when they thought they were in private emails are things they definitely wouldn't have said if they knew they'd be public. These aren't the sharpest tools in the shed either, using Pay to Play, and having a folder called it are totally plausible.

But hey, easier to call Trump supporters mentally challenged.

The conspiracy also assumes the billionaire that funds the Foundation is the best candidate to clean it up.

Whoops!

The official GOP website made a grand old gaffe ahead of the vice presidential debate Tuesday night -- declaring Republican candidate Mike Pence the winner before the event was scheduled to start.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the GOP announced that Mike Pence was the "clear winner" of the debate, more than an hour before ahead of the start time. The GOP went on to list Pence's top moments were when discussing the economy and highlighting Hillary Clinton's scandals.

"Mike Pence made the most of his opportunity to debate Hillary's VP pick Tim Kaine," the GOP wrote. The page has since been taken down.

More evidence that Donald Trump is secretly John Titor.

Guccifer 2.0 is most likely Russian Intelligence.

a hacker calling themselves “Guccifer 2.0” claimed responsibility for hacking into the servers of the Democratic Party and stealing “thousands” of documents, including oppo research into Donald Trump.
...
However, considering a long trail of breadcrumbs pointing back to Russia left by the hacker, as well as other circumstantial evidence, it appears more likely that Guccifer 2.0 is nothing but a disinformation or deception campaign by Russian state-sponsored hackers to cover up their own hack—and a hasty and sloppy one at that.
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36913000

Quote:
Whoever is behind Guccifer 2.0 is not thought to be connected to the original Guccifer, who is currently in a US jail awaiting sentencing on hacking and fraud charges.
...
Detailed analysis of the attack on the DNC by US security firm CrowdStrike suggests the organisation was actually penetrated twice - both times by hacking groups, dubbed Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, known to have links to the Russian state. These groups have successfully penetrated US federal organisations in other hack attacks.

Forensic examination of metadata in copies of documents distributed by Guccifer 2.0 suggest they were edited on a machine set up for a Russian language user.

Technical information including IP addresses extracted from messages sent by Guccifer 2.0 to journalists show a link to the Russian cyber-underground - even though many of the conversations were routed through a French VPN firm. In the past, some of the same infrastructure was used to send junk spam on behalf of Russian crime groups.
