WikiLeaks, Clinton campaign in Twitter war over latest leaks

Jack Hays said:
Too risky for the Clintonistas to attempt to alter them. Also technically not too hard to detect.

Ha so the Clinton family, people who allegedly murder people risking exposing them, find some email manipulation too risky and complicated to hide?

No it isn't. They're either authentic or they are not. I believe thy are as most things like this from wiki tend to be.

I didn't say if they were authentic or not so I don't know why you keep telling me that. I said their authenticity is suspect. And considering where those emails have been it's entirely reasonable to think that. If you don't think that then you also think it would have been reasonable for OJ Simpson to hold on the murder weapon until the evidence locker was finished being renovated.

The veracity of the emails is exactly the reason they're being released, and the timing of the releases is intentional. The motivation is to damage Hillary Clinton and the organizations that support her at a critical juncture.

Greetings, humbolt. :2wave:

Excellent post! :thumbs:

That was an idiotic thing for a Clinton campaign staff member to do!

It was fine to dispute the validity & voracity of the leak, addressing the general public.

It was noit very intelligent to get into a direct exchange with the Wikileak staff. :doh

I totally agree. It only made the issue more newsworthy.

Here is a related story that dove-tails with your story.




It makes me wonder if we have any of those paid trolls here at DP.

I can think of a few that I would suspect.

Oh Really,
Well I'm rubber and your glue.

I too can dismiss you outright. Much easier than debating points.

Those emails have "been" where they always were. Their existence is digital, not physical.

You're parroting talking points rather than substantively outlining your concerns about Hillary's qualifications. I'd be happy to debate if you can cobble together something worth debating.

Are you saying that it is beyond the Russians' technical prowess to doctor emails?

That doesn't mean they don't say what they say.

What it does mean is that we don't know if they have been altered or if they are presented in context rather than through selective release to distort their meaning.

Their problem is they have no way to know how many back-ups were made by different users and on what servers. Moreover, if this is a Russian operation then 100% of its impact rests on the credibility of the emails released.

Dream on. Everyone should have a dream. An unanswered allegation is a valid allegation as far as the public is concerned.

We're talking about the same general public that is more engaged in Here Comes Honey Boo Boo than the political process right?

Wikileaks has released more than 10 million documents and not one has been proven to be altered. Combine that with the lack of rebuttal by the DNC or the Clinton campaign as to the text in the emails and I think I will say that Wikileaks is pretty reliable.
 
The best thing the Hillary campaign can do is exactly what they HAVE been doing.

1. Paying people to dispute the email dumps on social media. That takes care of those who have moved on from mainstream media and doesn't leave any provable residue on the campaign's fingers.

2. Get the mainstream media to ignore the email dumps. That takes care of the low info voters and others who get all their info from that source. Also provides deniability of any campaign involvement.

3. The campaign makes no comments regarding the email dumps.


Now...if they could just get Trump to shut up about them, they'd be home free.

Would you be equally suspicious of any Email Clinton would release countering what the wiki emails say a potential of being doctored.

If so do you thinks the odds of one verse the other being more likely doctored?



IMO past history has shown the Clinton's go to is lie until caught then get all simply and lawyerey a d try to defend their lies by manipulating defenitions.

I am not aware of Wikileaks having such a history of such looseness with the truth

I would ask you to refrain from projecting your stupid strawman analogies on to me and just stick with what is known at this point.

Wiki dumped some emails that reflect poorly on Hillary and her campaign.
