Hacker With Alleged Ties to Russia Claims to Have Clinton Foundation Files

Source: Mediaite

by Sam Reisman | 4:47 pm, October 4th, 2016

The hacker persona Guccifer 2.0 posted on his blog Tuesday screenshots and links to documents that were allegedly stolen from the Clinton Foundation server.

The Clinton Foundation claims that the documents are not authentic.

One screengrab purportedly shows the folders on the server, including “Donor Research and Prospecting,” folders corresponding to the DNC and DCCC; folders corresponding to Hillary for America (Clinton’s official campaign committee) and PAC fundraising, as well as a folder called “Pay to Play.”

There are portions of spreadsheets that allegedly show contributions from large banks to lawmakers who sit on the House Financial Services Committee and another that allegedly is cut from a list of Democratic donors who were active from 2010 to 2015.

do they seriously expect us to believe that they would have a folder called "pay to play"???

heck, why not just call it "evidence of our criminal activity"?


c'mon. even if i never expected to get hacked and was just labeling things for my own purposes, and even if i was actually running a "pay to play" operation, there's no way i'd ever think to label a folder "pay to play".

When you're making stuff up to try and sway really stupid people, I guess you have to spell it out very clearly so they don't get confused?!

This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen anyone attempt to foist off as legit! You'd have to be a total moron to even entertain the idea this is true.

...October surprise, but it could not be authenticated. Julian is out for Julian, and if Wikileaks becomes well known for posting fabricated documents, then it will be finished. Julian would happily post hacked documents, but clear forgeries would doom him.

I'll bet Assange will blow a gasket when he hears about this Guccifer crap. People will associate these fake docs with Wikileaks, and the $$$ well will dry up.

They are panicking & need to make up fake news to get attention- Trump's been using these Goebbels tactics since he started his campaign.

Update: A review of the newly released documents reveals no information about the Clinton Foundation. Instead, the documents appear to come mostly from the Democratic Party of Virginia. Other documents appear to come from the national Democratic party.

Not with all the true corruption of Trump foundation now finally out in the open.

Only thing that could hurt Hillary now is video of her murdering a baby. She made Mitt Romney 47% type comment...nothing (but unlike him she was right about it).
