Sad thing about these new leaks is that the main stream media arm of the Dem party will never give any of this the light of day. If they mention it, that will be about it but it should be the front page story for the next couple of weeks and probably up until the election.
At a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump held up a piece of paper and proceeded to report a false story that had only been reported by a Russian controlled agency, Sputnik, a Russian propaganda outlet.
“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my [Eichenwald’s] article.
In the article linked below, Eichenwald explains that the false information originated from a hacked email from John Podesta’s account and was related to the Benghazi investigation. In the hacked email, Blumenthal quoted Eichenwald’s Newsweek article but the Russian agency distorted the information to make it appear as if the words were Blumenthal’s in attempt to link it to Hillary. Trump quoted this exact misinformation at his rally.
This misinformation was only available on the Russian Propaganda station Sputnik for a very brief time until they removed it. So the question is, how did Trump get his little digits on it?

DEAR DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN, I AM NOT SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL
This false story was only reported by the Russian controlled agency (a reference appeared in a Turkish publication, but it was nothing but a link to the Sputnik article). So how did Donald Trump end up advancing the same falsehood put out by Putin’s mouthpiece?
At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”
“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.
“He’s now admitting they could have done something about Benghazi,’’ Trump said, dropping the document to the floor. “This just came out a little while ago.”
The crowd booed and chanted, “Lock her up!”
This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin?

I agree. I think it would be best for all parties if both Trump & Clinton get dropped from the ticket asap. Let's hit the re-set button and start from scratch. This country deserves better.Today’s report that Clinton’s campaign was in communication with the Obama Department of Justice on the email investigation shows a level of collusion which calls into question the entire investigation into her private server. The Department of Justice must release all communications with the Clinton campaign and her allies as soon as possible in order to definitively prove their investigation was completely above board.
Nothing to see here, move right along...
BREAKING: U.S. Intelligence Official Makes DAMNING Trump/Russia Announcement

You didn't do jack ****. You didn't post a single example of where Obama broke the law, not a single one. Just a bunch of typical paranoid alt-right banter about Big Gov hosing right-wingers at every turn. Don't blame me that you've become completely detached from reality and succumbed to the murky world of breitbart rhetoric. I hope the day will come when you can clear your mind a bit and start seeing things the way they really are, not the way it's spun to you by fringe websites and nefarious news sources.
Mr. Trump didn’t break any laws; all he did was lose some of his own money. What the IRS did is illegal. What the New York Times did is illegal. What Hillary Clinton has done with pay to play is illegal. What Hillary did with her private server and selling out national secrets is illegal. But no one cares about the rule of law anymore on the Left. It’s all about maintaining power at all costs.
High time those at the IRS are held accountable for their deeds.What the IRS did is illegal.
If Hillary handed you a cup of reddish wine like liquid and told you to drink every drop immediately, would you
drink it?
If so, then you drink Hillary kool-aid and must suffer the consequences. Ever heard of Jones Town.
America is too busy drinking the blue kook-aid. At this point the color of the drink is really irrelevant. The Lemmings just want "Change" and radical change at that. Hillary gives them that.If Trump handed you a cup of reddish wine like liquid and told you to drink every drop immediately, would you drink it?
Ya. How's THAT ******* working out?The framers of our Constitution, who studied the history of democracy, knew that democracy was vulnerable to devolving into authoritarianism. They structured elections for the presidency as indirect contests precisely so as to weed out demagogues and to ensure that people of virtue would rise to the top.
I would respectfully argue that both candidates make Nixon look like a pretty solid Joe right now...Our presidents have not always been wholly virtuous, but with the possible exception of Richard Nixon, they have not been sociopaths seeking power simply to vindicate their egos.

Another gem from the chief of alt-righters. God damn, I hope you guys hold it together better than this buffoon....

there's a lot you don't know about Hillary
Wikileaks: Hillary Clinton Bragged About Being Invited to Putin’s ‘Inner Sanctum’
![]()
Shortly after being relieved of her duties as Secretary of State, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reportedly gave a series of speeches in which she described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “very interesting conversationalist” who she had gotten to know, including a visit to his “private inner sanctum” to discuss wildlife conservation.
Clinton, who approved a deal granting Russia control of 20 percent of America’s uranium assets, has criticized rival Donald Trump for allegedly wanting to “support Putin.”
In paid remarks to private groups, Clinton boasted of having a personal relationship with Putin, according to excerpts released by the organization Wikileaks this weekend.
Democratic operatives, including vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, have neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the Wikileaks docume

I'm sure there was plenty of outrage back then on SN, don't quite remember. Surely everyone was as equally up in arms as they are now regarding Hillary, calling for Bush to be thrown in jail et al.
