1. What did Cohen's alleged hackers hack??

I'm increasingly skeptical of Mensch and that counterchekist guy.

I believe in John Schindler and in Claude Taylor. I think they're honest and real.

I worry that Mensch and counterchekist are right-wing plants. Their goal: since they know DJT is going down, they're trying to deflect blame away from the GOP billionaires that created the environment for Trump. GOP billionaires built a propaganda machine to inflame fear and hate, and Trump rode that fear and hate to the white house. If not for Fox and Limbaugh and Cato and Heritage, we would not be here today. Counterchekist keeps saying "we need to come together and get beyond party". Bullshit. The rightwing created this. Their billionaires created Trump. It's their fault. Inequality and propaganda are the cause of Trump and those two causes must be addressed after Trump goes down.

that's my piece. tldr: Read Schinder, Taylor. Ignore Mensch, Counterchekist.
