I'm perpetually out of the loop. Did Trump's emails get leaked?

[–] NJSpradlin 114 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If I’m tracking properly, they got hacked and then the internal data was given to the media, and the media hasn’t released anything. Because it benefits them to support Trump.

That's wild. Any idea what media outlet specifically it was leaked to?

I wonder why it wasn’t sent to wikileaks?

So they were already cc’d on them.

Yes and no; technically they're an independent entity but they've been used as useful idiots by Russian intelligence so many times at this point they're effectively Russian

Half of their publications are leaked russian material.

Hmm, first time hearing that.

Cuz they would have sat on it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because they would actually publish it.

As opposed to the current recipients, who are sitting on it.

But I thought it was Iran that hacked Trump. Surely they have media that can make this info available.

No, that makes sense. They have the time and energy to hack the Trump campaign email servers. But somehow lack the ability to make that information public. Yeah, that makes much more sense.

Yesterday there was speculation that it was an internal leak, not a foreign country. Remember that Trump's entire staff lies constantly.

Or because there is literally nothing worth reporting. I guarantee if there was some juicy stories, they would come out.

No, they specifically didn’t get leaked. And that’s the story. Trump’s team got hacked, and the hackers sent the emails to the news outlets. The outlets protected Trump, and refused to publish the emails.

Which is in stark contrast to what happened when Hillary’s emails got sent to the news outlets. The outlets were clambering to be the first to publish them.

Almost as if the outlets have a strong bias…

Do you have a link to where the news outlets published them?

So PM_Your_Nudes_Please just made up whatever the hell he wanted. Typical.
