(53,776 posts)He'd better look at people from trump/Putin for going after him since it just came out that he was working with Guciffer 2.0.
There are already multiple Russians connected to the election tampering who came up dead.
They won't stop with getting rid of an American who has info that can bring down trump.

(1,387 posts)trust the Putin regime ? Have they not been paying attention ? Is it arrogance ? Ego ?
Obviously , if its kompromat they wouldn't have a choice.
What would it take ? Stone like Trump is not easily embarrassed - no shame . I think alot of the people involved are like that .
Putin certainly has the means to hurt them non-lethally , also.
I would love to know their risk assessment of getting involved with Putin (on an individual basis as well as a group).
Mind boggling !

(12,154 posts)whether greedily seeking it or frantically seeking to avoid losing it.
And I do think there's kompromat involved, so there is also the prospect of loss of personal liberty as well as money.

(1,387 posts)How messed up can your judgment be not to consider that ?
Delusional and stupid - but we already knew that.
(by the way , I will never understand the greed of the super-rich.That mindset eludes me.)

(81,232 posts)Only thing that keeps me from jumping on it is - he's an old guy. I think he's even older than I am.
UNLESS he happens to be a computer nerd. Some people are fanatics about it, and active participants in it, until they die of old age. But shit, I'm married to a computer nerd (who's also a little bit older than I am). He's brilliant. But even he can't keep up with all the new everythings either. Some of it, yeah, but not all of it by any means.
Doesn't it take some pretty doggone advanced computer/programming/internet skill to be able to navigate that level of complexity? Or am I demonstrating yet again how technically illiterate I am?
L. Coyote
(51,129 posts)that with certainty, Guccifer is just the guy who told lies when he popped up. So, do we trust what he said? "Hey I'm a Russian and I'm the hacker." How very convenient for the Trump campaign.

(7,627 posts)If the dnc website was not adequately configured it is not hard for any competent IT person to exploit the vulnerabilities. For example, once you determine which type of web server (which version of the code), which type of backend database , etc.. they are using, it is simple to look up whether or not these have been patched and are secure. Most of the time they are not and you can find scripts (that is, software) or snippets of code that have been written to demonstrate how to do it. You can even hire people to do it for you. So even if Roger Stone was not a computer geek he well could have been coordinating the efforts on behalf of Trump's campaign.

(15,286 posts)I don't really think Stone was driven by money here. He lives for doing dirty political tricks. It's what he is and what he does. If he could help bring down Hillary Clinton, remember she worked on the Watergate Committee staff when he was a Nixon man, I'm positive he'd do it.
I think the whole Russian interference was a perfect convergence of people doing things for different reasons that meshed in just the right way.
