StrangeSox Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hahaha they're such compromised shills. “Hey Don. We have an unusual idea,” Wikileaks wrote on October 21, 2016. “Leak us one or more of your father’s tax returns.” Wikileaks then laid out three reasons why this would benefit both the Trumps and Wikileaks. One, The New York Times had already published a fragment of Trump’s tax returns on October 1; two, the rest could come out any time “through the most biased source (e.g. NYT/MSNBC).” It is the third reason, though, Wikileaks wrote, that “is the real kicker.” “If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality,” Wikileaks explained. “That means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source.” It then provided an email address and link where the Trump campaign could send the tax returns, and adds, “The same for any other negative stuff (documents, recordings) that you think has a decent chance of coming out. Let us put it out.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 .Wikileaks didn’t write again until Election Day, November 8, 2016. “Hi Don if your father ‘loses’ we think it is much more interesting if he DOES NOT conceed [sic] and spends time CHALLENGING the media and other types of rigging that occurred—as he has implied that he might do,” Wikileaks wrote at 6:35pm, when the idea that Clinton would win was still the prevailing conventional wisdom. (As late as 7:00pm that night, FiveThirtyEight, a trusted prognosticator of the election, gave Clinton a 71 percent chance of winning the presidency.) Wikileaks insisted that contesting the election results would be good for Trump’s rumored plans to start a media network should he lose the presidency. “The discussion can be transformative as it exposes media corruption, primary corruption, PAC corruption, etc.,” Wikileaks wrote.

Im just qualifying my response in case some of the wikileaks defenders come in here and try to find some sort of legal loop hole Im not aware of. When they go in your house its trespassing, is there some sort of similar law concerning websites? Possibly, I dont know. Is it a crime to go into your friends facebook if they leave it opened? What if they save the password on your computer? Sometimes its just easier to qualify an answer when Im not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The day Trump Jr. received the first message from Wikileaks, he emailed other senior officials with the campaign, including Bannon, Conway, Parscale, & Kushner, telling them WikiLeaks had made contact.

StrangeSox Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) It's been known that WikiLeaks was collaborating with the Trump campaign including trying to figure out a way to make them look objective despite not being objective and inciting Trump to undermine US democracy if he lost? "I've sent a message to" and "I've been talking with for over a year" are two different things. Edited November 14, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) d'oh, this is probably funding for Russian elections that were happening last September Secret Finding: 60 Russian Payments "To Finance Election Campaign Of 2016” The FBI is scrutinizing more than 60 money transfers sent by the Russian foreign ministry to its embassies across the globe, most of them bearing a note that said the money was to be used “to finance election campaign of 2016.” On Aug. 3 of last year, just as the US presidential election was entering its final, heated phase, the Russian foreign ministry sent nearly $30,000 to its embassy in Washington. The wire transfer, which came from a Kremlin-backed Russian bank, landed in one of the embassy’s Citibank accounts and contained a remarkable memo line: “to finance election campaign of 2016.” That wire transfer is one of more than 60 now being scrutinized by the FBI and other federal agencies investigating Russian involvement in the US election. The transactions, which moved through Citibank accounts and totaled more than $380,000, each came from the Russian foreign ministry and most contained a memo line referencing the financing of the 2016 election. The money wound up at Russian embassies in almost 60 countries from Afghanistan to Nigeria between Aug. 3 and Sept. 20, 2016. It is not clear how the funds were used. At least one transaction that came into the US originated with VTB Bank, a financial institution that is majority-owned by the Kremlin.
