So from what I'm hearing, the target of the email investigation was a Romanian hacker.

[MohRokTah]

And somehow this bullshit got spun up that Hillary would be indicted????

[BobbyDrake]

1. Smears and innuendo have been used against the Clintons for decades now.

You'd think 20 years of coming up empty would necessitate a new strategy at some point, but I guess not.

[ucrdem]

2. I think the target was always Hillary.

When they couldn't find a damn thing that stuck after misspending millions on misallocated resources the story changed.

[MohRokTah]

3. What I've heard is this hacker attempted to break into Hillary's server...

and failed.

The failed attempt left evidence they were after to identify how this hacker operated.

[amandabeech]

18. Guccifer, the Romanian hacker, broke into the AOL e-mail account of

Sidney Blumenthal, a close Clinton ally who was not working in the federal government.

Guccifer found e-mails between Blumenthal and Hillary relating to Libya and the Middle East.

It is alleged that some of the e-mails that Hillary sent to Blumenthal from her private server contained classified information.

Guccifer put some of those e-mails on his web page.

Guccifer claims that he hacked Clinton's server, but it is not clear whether he was bragging or had actually done so.

Flame away.

[synergie]

53. No such classifed information was found, Guccifer was not found to have hacked

anything, it was found that he was pretty much full of BS.
Facts are easily available, even if one doesn't like them, no flaming necessary.

[amandabeech]

55. You might check his Wiki. n/t

[spooky3]

61. Say, I did. He did NOT hack her account, and the

Emails from Blumenthal were not classified.

[amandabeech]

67. He claimed that he did, but we don't know.

As to your second assertion, I only wish that I could agree with you.

[spooky3]

84. You are the one making assertions, and citing Wiki as your source,

But misstating what Wiki reported.

I am simply telling you, and others, what your own source said and did not say.

If you have evidence that actually backs up your claims, I would be interested.

[synergie]

62. You might find a credible source, "his wiki" isn't one.

[amandabeech]

68. Wiki is good when you like what says. nt

[AgadorSparticus]

71. HA!! 😂

[amandabeech]

72. Thank you! n/t

[spooky3]

60. You cite the Wiki page as your source but you misstate

what it said. It did NOT state that any of the emails were FROM Clinton.

[lancer78]

87. Wiki is the

toilet bowl of the internet. A lot of shit and piss get dumped into it.

[riversedge]

4. The RW narritive lives on and on and on!!!

[stonecutter357]

5. Smears are all the RWNJ'S have.

[Her Sister]

6. And now HRC haters are waiting/hoping for Julian Asange to...

Leak something incriminating! yep, that's a thing! ~ the HRC Haters drag on and on...

7. In 2008, the Obama haters knew the "Whitey Tape" was being released any minute now.

Same shit, different assholes.

[Her Sister]

9. Gosh and we're supposed to admire the character of these characters?

Must be K.I.D.D.I.N.G. me

[BlueNoMatterWho]

42. Shit is right.

Except this time WikiLeaks is promising to "release enough evidence to indict Hillary Clinton". When will this shit end?

[XemaSab]

117. I'd forgotten about that rumor!

The rumor that the Republican Party has a tape of Michelle Obama railing against "whitey" in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church apparently surfaced two weeks ago on No Quarter, a blog operated by Larry Johnson, a self-described former CIA analyst and supporter of Obama's Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton. No evidence has emerged to corroborate the wild rumor, but Fox News went ahead and aired the charges on camera today.

[Evergreen Emerald]

8. With the help of the news media, the vast RW conspiracy lives on .

I am so tired of the BS. And frankly, tired of the stupid people who continue to buy the load of crap the media and RW is feeding them.

Of course, there are a number of reasons that people echo the ugly distortions and lies...for their own agendas.

[Her Sister]

10. BTW Jackpine has a whole Main Forum dedicated to only the FBI investigation

and nothing nothing on Trump. I looked at Main Page, Latest, Election 2016, General ! Not a thing on Trump!

11. I couldn't give a shit what Jackass Laughables thinks.

I have a thread in GD about how Trump's Star of David Hillary Meme was originally created by a white supremacist.

[grossproffit]

17. Thanks for posting that. It needs to be seen far and wide. Trump is evil, truly evil.

[Octafish]

20. Jackpine Radical was TOPS

A great DUer in every way, including respecting the ideas of others; in short, a Democrat.

Many if not most of the people at that website are former DUers who've grown tired of the smears, swarms and bullying they experienced on DU.

[grossproffit]

21. Key word being "was."

It's a cesspool now.

[Octafish]

23. No. Here's what I mean.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/~Jackpine%20Radical

While he's gone to the next world, we can still enjoy his wisdom and thought on Democracy.

Judging by your posts and your journal, grossproffit, you've got a lot to learn.

[MohRokTah]

27. So a right wing site started by a long time troll who was booted off DU

named it after a DUer who passed away.

That's just grist for the mill to suck in naive liberals.

The site owner of Jackass Laughables was banned from this site. HE was nothing more than a rightwing troll.

[MohRokTah]

31. It is a rightwing site. It does nothing but attack Democrats.

There is no such thing as a "BFEE". That whole meme is just bullshit CT woo.

[lapucelle]

36. There's also an undercurrent of sexism.

I get the feeling that for some, it's all about not letting the girl win, nothing more.

[BainsBane]

66. Undercurrent? More like a Tsunami

I've seen things written there I wouldn't repeat in any company, the most vulgar, misogynistic comments I've ever read in my life.

[grossproffit]

69. I've seen the C word used to describe Hillary over there. Yeah, real progressives.

[BainsBane]

76. Not just used

absolutely fetishcized. Off the charts.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

110. It's not a right-wing site. I'll wager any amount of money you're ready to lose that it's not a

right-wing site.

Let me know when you're ready.

[MohRokTah]

111. ANY site that is preoccupied with attacking Democrats is a rightwing site.

End of discussion.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

112. Your declarative statements mean nothing to me, and they certainly don't signify the end of a

discussion.

You don't dictate terms. Learn that, and we can have a conversation.

[zappaman]

40. Maybe I should join that site?

Looks awesome!

[cosmicone]

47. OMG !!!!!1!1!

You'd be soooo perfect for that site .... I mean it would be like really like awesome!!!!1!1!

[grossproffit]

70. No need for a personal dig at me.

[Hortensis]

32. Afraid so. The owner had to ban the hostile

obsession with DU that had been taking over the entire site to save it. It is an extremely anti-Democrat site that still does have a busy forum devoted to sufferers of Hlllary Derangement Syndrome, though, a place where they embrace these right-wing lies as their own missions and vow that they shall never stop seeking justice. (I was surprised on a visit there to find some are eager for the day Chelsea takes up residence in prison too.)

In any case, the realities that Hillary's intent was to use a more secure server than State's, that she never broke the law, and that her actions were not unusual for people at her level is simply not comprehensible to these people. They've traveled too far down that rabbit hole to find their way out. Circular reasoning and conspiracy theories are normal, so that closing the investigation will merely be taken as proof of what they all know: that the entire government is corrupt and controlled by Clinton "lackeys." The effect of the final statement on these people will just be like adding water to a pan of boiling oil.

[cosmicone]

48. It also has a secret "Wizard Room"

for plotting against suspected enemies and to help Trump win.

[MohRokTah]

22. Jackass Laughables is an anti-Democratic site.

It's nothing more than yet another FreeRepublic.

Many, if not most, are Right Wingnuts who were booted off DU.

[Hortensis]

43. Actually, it is true that most are probably just claiming

that they were "going to be" purged from DU and had to flee for freedom. But it's certainly true that many are known to have been banned and that many more claim to have been banned. It's seen as a badge of honor, and the proudest claim for many these days is that they had to leave or were purged because they refused to sign the "loyalty oath," known to the rest of us as the site's terms of service.

Seriously, psychologists say people become more extreme by hanging with extremists, and that groups prone to extremism become more extreme as they interact unfavorably with society (like backing a candidate who doesn't win). I believe that must be happening with some here, as we watch. I've recognized names over there of people who once posted statements here that I could agree with but now say and agree with things that are just...frankly bizarre and at no time would have been acceptable for DU.

[Octafish]

26. Your post is a reflection of your understanding.

Nothing is there like what you wrote.

[MohRokTah]

28. So now you deny the owner of Jackass Laughables was a long time troll who was banned from DU?

[reddread]

93. are you the owner?

wow

[NanceGreggs]

73. We can all see what's there.

JPR - Come for the poutrage, stay for the conspiracy theories!

JPR - Where the Indictment Fairy is still alive and well!

Read all about it:


Bernie actually won in a landslide - but HRC, DWS and the DNC stole the election via massive vote fraud!

Bernie WILL BE the next president - because H.A. Goodman said so!

Bernie isn't conceding because his "good friends" in the senate told him HRC will be indicted any day now!

Elizabeth Warren has been "faking it" as a progressive - she's been an Establishment shill all along!

If Bernie runs on the Green ticket, he will win the GE - in yet another landslide!

Bill met with Lynch to throw HRC to the wolves - because he can't stand the thought of her being POTUS!

United Nations to Investigate Clinton Election Fraud!!! (Well, people are signing a petition asking the UN to investigate - same dif, right?)



If you hate Democrats, you'll LOVE JPR!!! It's a site willing to name names when it comes to which Democrats have been thrown under the bus this week - and you don't have to sign a "loyalty oath" (otherwise known as a TOS) in order to join!

JPR - where you're finally free from censorship, as long as you acknowledge that Bernie WILL STILL win the nomination and go on to be POTUS! And if you mistakenly say otherwise, a helpful Admin will simply "edit" your post for you - no fuss, no muss!

JPR - it's the place to be!!!

[UtahLib]

77. +1,000. Right on!

[still_one]

78. Yes Nance. In addition, it has been pointed out to me some of the most sexist vulgarities that have

come from that site.

[NanceGreggs]

114. Like the post ...

... inviting a well-known Democratic woman to f__k herself with a rusty chainsaw? Or referring to Hillary by the "C" word?

Yeah, it's just one class act after another.

[still_one]

118. unbelievable that a supposed progressive site would propagate that garbage

[NanceGreggs]

119. Well, a "supposed progresssive site" would ...

... a real progressive site wouldn't.

It's amusing to read the "supposed progressives" there quoting RW sources as gospel, while touting FOX-News as reliable journalism.

[brer cat]

80. +1000

Anti-democrats and misogynistic. Yep, "it's the place to be!!!"

[treestar]

81. +1000

Real levels of unreality there.

[NanceGreggs]

115. It's where they serve ...

... free-range crazy, and deep-fried paranoia - with all the fixin's!

[tammywammy]

85. Nailed it!

[zappaman]

86. Perfection.

[R B Garr]

97. +1000. Their open Trump support is especially sickening.

Ugh.

[NanceGreggs]

116. Along with the encouragement ...

... to view FOX-News as the only source of honest journalism!

[Maru Kitteh]

120. Yup. FOX is awesome. Rachel Maddow is a right wing hack.

I know this because the acrobats in the Jack MeHoff bouncy-castle said so!

[NastyRiffraff]

100. BINGO!

And a big fat K&R!

At first I thought it was a parody site, but unbelievably they're serious (or "series&quot

[Gothmog]

101. Great post

[Maru Kitteh]

113. + A FREAKING BAZILLION!

[reddread]

92. Hillarysupporters.com

straight up antisemitism, hatred and not a lick of progressive policy.

[geek tragedy]

33. Jackpine Radical was a great DUer.

The crowd at the website named after him did this site a great service. By leaving.

[MohRokTah]

38. I looked at the history of Jackpine Radical some time ago.

That is why I will never call that hate site by that name. It is and will remain "Jackass Laughables" to me.

[Bobbie Jo]

34. Sure

But the filth that is spewed in his name, not so much.

The word, disservice, comes to mind.

I can't imagine that he would approve of some of the nastiness that goes on there.

[cosmicone]

49. what comes to mind

is like starting a terrorist group using Gandhi's name.

[Bobbie Jo]

64. Good analogy.

Yuck.

[zappaman]

41. I don't like sites that attack Democrats.

I like sites like this that state they want to see More Democrats elected.
I'm sure you share those sentiments, my friend!
Happy 4th!

[MADem]

44. I agree. I don't think the DUer JP would have liked that, either.

Seems like a perversion of his memory, but hey, it's the internet, it's anonymous, and there's nothing to be done for it.

[synergie]

54. Given the content and the players, they seem to be continuing with the smears, swarms and bullying

that they engaged in here at DU, and still going strong. They just can't get away with doing it here, so they abuse DU and their favorite targets over there. Using terms that are identical to the ones that the cavers use.

It's interesting.

[Renew Deal]

56. They are free to use the C word about Hillary

No restriction from the moderators. He encourages it.

[840high]

63. ...!100++++

[BainsBane]

75. I didn't know him

but I have to wonder how he would feel about what goes on under his name. Some of what I've read there I wouldn't repeat in any company. Add to that the overt support for Trump.

[grossproffit]

12. Not much action over there.

[WhiteTara]

13. There may be some splodey sploding heads over there

when the final, no charges are announced by the FBI.

[comradebillyboy]

45. There will be plenty of splody heads right here in River City

when the Indictment Fairy dies. Lots of DU members continue to hope for Hillary to be charged.

[WhiteTara]

46. Yes, we do seem to eat our own. It's so strange

You would think we would circle our wagons around our nominee, but people are so willing to believe that Hillary is the devil incarnate. I'm glad that this will be over before the convention so that we can move forward, with our without BS.

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. Better over there than here!

I am so happy that the primary is over.

HATE'R'US. It's nice. we like it. No hidden rooms where other people are gather to stalk people. What you see is what's there.
But I digress and I'm done, just wanted to point out that there is a forum for the gop candidate. Have a good day

[R B Garr]

96. That's not a very realistic assessment. I saw JPR comments saying people are only staying here for

the juries. We all know what that means.....

[Autumn]

crap posted on a couple of sites started by other people is on them. We all know what that means don't we...

102. You're only supposed to notice one narrative and not the other.

103. Yeah.

That always cracks me up.

[R B Garr]

104. You were chastising someone about how superior JPR is, when that is clearly a

wrong assessment. That was the point.

You will have to point out where I chastised someone. Anyone. All I did was point out that there were two other forums started by DUers. One with a secret hidden room where they discuss DUers and have actually posted that they are alert stalking DUers they don't like and another site that was the most vile, filthy, racist, sexist, antisemitic site I have ever seen, a site that made Freepers look classy to be... chastising... I pointed no fingers at anyone. Myself I call it pointing out some kettles and pots, since some of the same people complaining about JPR in this thread post at the sites I mentioned.

[R B Garr]

107. Your post 94 is where you chastised someone. It's the one I replied to.

106. Not secretly lurking. I post there freely. Of course, I post under my Free Republic

trolling persona that's been extant on that particular site for over 15 years. It's been a useful persona for various things. It's useful on JPR because that persona was actively recruited by the admin there.

JPR, himself, deserves a better memorial.

How come the Republicans are not ever 'hacked'? They use the same servers & security systems, IT personal.
