Bernie Was Right: Leaked Docs Show the DNC Wanted Clinton From the Start--and the DNC blames the Russians


Leaked Document Shows the DNC wanted Clinton from start
Marisa Schultz New York Post

A document leaked by a hacker who took responsibility for the Democratic National Committee data breach appears to show the DNC coordinating with Hillary Clinton from the start of the presidential campaign — just as Bernie Sanders has claimed.

A document to the DNC dated May 26, 2015 – a month after Sanders kicked off his presidential bid — declared that “our goals & strategy” are to “provide a contrast between the GOP field and HRC.”

HRC stands for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The document, posted online by the hacker “Guccifer 2.0,” outlines ways to hit back at the GOP presidential field, such as “use specific hits to muddy the waters around ethics, transparency and campaign finance attacks on HRC.”

The author of the document is not listed. The DNC stayed officially neutral during the prolonged primary between Clinton and Sanders.

But some Sanders backers say the document shows what they’ve felt all along: the system was rigged in favor of Clinton.

“With proof that #Bernie never even had a chance, I shall double down and vote #BernieOrBust in Nov. @TheDemocrats,” tweeted a Sanders supporter from Chicago.

Sanders has declined to drop out of the Democratic primary race. Among his demands to Clinton and the Democratic National Committee: oust DNC leader Debbie Wasserman Schultz and get rid of super delegates.


“There are lots of valid reasons to question Schultz’s leadership, including how the DNC conducted itself during this last primary election season,” Sanders’ backer, Ben Jealous, former head of the NAACP, told The Post. “However, what is just as concerning is how the party has performed in general under her leadership.”

The DNC confirmed the computer break-in earlier this week and blamed Russian government hackers.

A senior DNC official stands by the assessment despite Gussifer’s claim it was a “lone hacker.”

“We believe that today’s release and the claims around it may be a part of a disinformation campaign by the Russians,” the official said, declining to address the alleged collusion. “We’ve deployed the recommended technology so that today our systems are secure thanks to a swift response to that attack and we will continue to monitor our systems closely.”

Hacked DNC docs may show ugly connections to Clinton

Earlier this week it was announced that a hacker breached the servers of the Democratic Party and obtained the DNC's opposition research on Donald Trump. The DNC confirmed as much.

Now, a single person claiming to be the hacker has released the supposed Donald Trump information alongside some other very revealing internal documents. When pressed by reporters to confirm or deny the authenticity of the new documents, the DNC only issued this vague statement doing neither. If the documents were fake, it would seem that the DNC would openly deny as much.

The hacker claims to have given over thousands of additional pages to WikiLeaks.


President Obama endorses Hillary Clinton for President and meets with her rival Bernie Sanders. The three seem to agree on one objective: defeating Donald Trump.

Three particular documents are disturbing.

Hacker claiming he breached DNC systems releases Trump report
First, the hacker released financial records from donors to the DNC. Earlier this week the DNC vehemently denied that any such information was accessed or stolen.

Alleged DNC Opposition Report on Donald Trump that hacker Guccifer 2.0 claims to have gotten from DNC servers.

Two other documents that are very concerning were internal memos. One, claiming to be written on May 26, 2015, a full year before Hillary was declared the winner of the party’s presidential nomination and months before the first primary was held, speaks of her as if she is already the nominee and how they aim to spend the following year preparing her for such a moment.

The DNC is supposed to be an unbiased arbiter of the campaign and this memo suggests anything but that. Furthermore, the memo gives strategies for they can best position her for general election. One of those strategies says they aim to, "Use specific hits to muddy the water around ethics, transparency, and campaign finance attacks on HRC."

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a news conference outside his campaign headquarters in Washington, Tuesday, June 14, 2016.

How ugly is that? Muddying the water? What a mess.

Russia hackers steal DNC's Donald Trump opposition research
Another memo claims that they "will utilize reporters to drive a message" but do so "with no fingerprints" on the process so that the public believes the messages are coming from the reporters and not the campaign.

This is exactly what many of us have suspected was going on for the past year. It was, in part, why I chose to wear my support of Bernie Sanders on my sleeve. Even with that, at no time did the Sanders campaign ever even hint at their desire for me to cover a certain topic or angle. Every single story I wrote, I wrote on my own without any such input from the campaign.

A lone hacker by the name ‘Guccifer 2.0’ has claimed responsibility for hacking the Democratic National Committee database, revealing research on GOP and donor information. This contradicts the initial DNC reports that Russia was behind the attack.
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz acknowledged that the party servers were hacked and that opposition research was stolen, but denied that documents of a financial nature were compromised.

On his website, Guccifer 2.0 posted some of the documents allegedly lifted from DNC’s servers, such as a 200-page “opposition research” document on Donald Trump. The hacker also posted documents with names of famous individuals who have made donations to the Democratic Party in the millions of dollars, such as actor Morgan Freeman and hedge fund manager James H. Simmons.

A document titled “2016 GOP presidential candidates” from May 2015 – about a month after Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy – shows the DNC’s strategy to use the mainstream media to stress Clinton’s positives, while feeding reporters information and questions about Republican opponents to paint them in a negative light.

“Reporter Outreach: Working through the DNC and others, we should use background briefings, prep with reporters for interviews with GOP candidates, off-the-record conversations and oppo pitches to help pitch stories with no fingerprints and utilize reporters to drive a message,” the document says.

Instead of laying out strategies to help any given Democratic candidate that might win the nomination, document makes reference to Hillary Clinton in the document as “HRC,” giving credence to speculation that the DNC has been biased towards Clinton throughout the primary.

The same document calls for using targeted attacks on Republican candidates for the expressed purpose of taking the focus off of major questions that surround Hillary Clinton.

“Use specific hits to muddy the waters around ethics, transparency, and campaign finance attacks on HRC,” the document reads.

Among the documents revealed by the hacker was one titled Promises and Proposals – National Security & Foreign Policy, that was allegedly from 2008, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. The document lays out the foreign policy goals for the Obama administration’s first term, and does not seem to include any classified information though it is marked “Secret.”

Guccifer 2.0 said that he sent the bulk of the documents he obtained to WikiLeaks, whose founder Julian Assange said that the organization had received enough information about Clinton to indict her.

“We’ve accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton,” Assange said. “We could proceed to an indictment.”

The hack was initially reported to be the work of the Russian government agencies on Tuesday by CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm hired by the DNC to investigate the data breach. Though Guccifer 2.0 insists that he worked alone, the company has stuck to its original story, and suggested that the hacker’s posting may be part of a “Russian disinformation campaign.”

“We are exploring the documents’ authenticity and origin,” CrowdStrike co-founder and chief technology officer Dmitri Alperovitch told The Washington Post. “Regardless, these claims do nothing to lessen our findings relating to the Russian government’s involvement, portions of which we have documented for the public and the greater security community.”

Alperovitch is also a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative.

In response to his work being attributed to a sophisticated government agency, Guccifer 2.0 wrote: “I’m very pleased the company appreciated my skills so highly))) But in fact, it was easy, very easy.”

The hacker’s moniker is a reference to the original Guccifer, a Romanian national named Marcel Lahel who hacked top US government officials and claims to have accessed Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Lahel was extradited to the United States earlier this year and is currently awaiting prosecution for his cyber-intrusions.

“Guccifer may have been the first one who penetrated Hillary Clinton’s and other Democrats’ mail servers,” Guccifer 2.0 wrote. “But he certainly wasn’t the last. No wonder any other hacker could easily get access to the DNC’s servers.”

Uncle GR doesn't need any documents , he knew all along, when Bill Clinton got a away with all the scandalous affairs with all those women, and Hillary made money in cattle futures trading (being a first timer), then vince Foster dies, and on and on, I knew she was hand picked by the machine... anyone else would have been in jail by now...
