WikiLeaks puts Clinton adviser Benenson on notice

[DonViejo]

By Joe Uchill - 10/23/16 10:19 AM EDT

WikiLeaks implied Sunday that it will leak information on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist, Joel Benenson.

"@benensonj We have a surprise for you #JBSurprise," said the tweet to Benenson, using the same "surprise" language WikiLeaks used last week when it put Democratic National Committee interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine on notice last week.

WikiLeaks also repeated a threat in a tweet at Kaine and NBC's "Meet the Press," saying, "@MeetThePress @timkaine We have a surprise for @TimKaine #TKSurprise." On "Meet the Press," Kaine addressed an email purportedly from the John Podesta breach that said Kaine was notified of his vice presidential nomination in 2015.

“The one that referred to me is flat-out incorrect," said Kaine.

WikiLeaks is still reeling from a week of bad news. Last week, the Ecuadorian Embassy in London shut off founder Julian Assange's internet access.

1. Screw them, the American press should shut them out completely, nothing but Russian agents.

[apcalc]

2. Wiki who?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

21. Exactly

They made themselves irrelevant with trying to interfere in our election. If they are so objective and without agenda then why have they not released anything on Trump?

[Fast Walker 52]

28. exactly-- their bias is way too transparent

FUCK those guys

[Koinos]

3. The WikiLeaks brand name is in the toilet.

I don't see any reason to believe anything they say at this point. They rely extensively on Russian hackers' fabrications and "enhancements."

[sunonmars]

4. exactly, nothing is believable, all of it could be fabrication and why should anyone believe them?

[Koinos]

23. When you lie too much...

... nobody will believe you, even when you are telling the truth.

[Foggyhill]

5. STFU with your stealing shit Assange, release Trump's f*g taxes we can talk "transparency" (sic)

I'm kind of mad though at the abysmal cyber security policies of various people on Clinton's staff.
Come on guys, get your shit together.

[DemonGoddess]

7. Why should we believe

Putin's propaganda voice?

[nolabear]

8. Oh look. Another nothingburger.

Nobody knows Benenson and I cannot imagine Kaine being susceptible to much of anything. His good name exceeds anything short of hookers and blow...actually it might exceed hookers and blow.

[sunonmars]

10. I suspect they are trying to keep themselves relevant

If they had anything they would have killed Clintons campaign months ago, now its kind of too late.

This is all about interfering and messing about.

They should be a proscripted organisation and Twitter ought to have them banned.

[sarae]

29. Yep.

If they had anything big, why on earth would they wait until people have been voting for weeks already? That doesn't make any sense.

[sharp_stick]

11. I wonder when Ecuador is going to be

sick enough of that asshole that they just hand him over to the Swedes?

[sunonmars]

12. I think they are happy he is there, they know where he is.

He could vanish and create merry hell from some foxhole somewhere.....but he will vanish for good one day when he pisses off the wrong people.

[semby2]

13. Press

So now the press is not just publishing this garbage, they are publishing claims from wikileaks about future information. Disgusting.

[Foggyhill]

15. More like passing along blackmail and intimidation notices...

[Bill USA]

14. assange is a cyber terrorist, trying to damage U.S. with "hacked" (?) emails provided by Russia

supposedly unedited, if they were hacked.

[jcgoldie]

16. juvenile

It's obviously a game and not about transparency if they preface their "leaks" with juvenile threats on twitter.

[sufrommich]

17. Fuck Wikileaks. Any respectability they had

is long gone.

[bettyellen]

18. Only the die hard CT theorists believe them.

[GWC58]

20. WikiLeakes is

Dead to me! Soon they'll be nothing but a punchline. The sooner the better! I also want to see that rapist/pervert in prison.

[Snake Plissken]

22. this headline is just as relevant today as it was six years ago

[Cha]

24. I thought Ecuador shut F***face down?

“The one that referred to me is flat-out incorrect," said Kaine.

Guess what? I believe Tim Kaine.. not some putin hacked wiki leaks assholes.

[Jamaal510]

25. One thing that

I look forward to with a Clinton win on 11/8 is pissing off all these hackers who have tried to throw a wrench into our election and who think that they have so much influence. They only go after Democrats, and never after Republicans or any of the 3rd party candidates. They have a vendetta against her (and Obama), and are trying incredibly hard to help her main rival. If she wins, they'll really lose their minds. They won't know what to do with themselves.

[Skidmore]

26. I'm surprised they haven't started extorting money

from people yet. It will happen. These people are nothing more than criminials who hide behind the figleaf of being some kind of cyber warriors with altruistic motives.

[MFM008]

27. fuck those Russian spys

Nobody cares about your trash ass wipes. Her numbers keep going up.

[sarae]

30. If anything, the slow drip of emails

has shown that the Clinton campaign is pretty squeaky clean. After building up this idea that she's the most corrupt candidate ever, THIS is their proof?!

People who are honest with themselves can't seriously argue that there are any bombshells in those emails.

[treestar]

31. they should be ignored

obvious doing this one sided and so no one should pay any attention so long as they don't do it to Republicans.
