CNN BREAKING: PALIN'S YAHOO EMAIL ACCOUNT COMPRIMISED

[RoadRage]

Wolf was just discussing this.. if anyone thought it was a rumor - it no longer is. The McCain camp is handing it over to top authorities.

Does anyone have info on what's IN those emails?

[gopbuster]

1. Secret Service Investigating n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. she probably had someone she knew do it so it sounds like Watergate

[dems_rightnow]

4. The things I saw

Weren't particularly interesting.

[grannie4peace]

5. go to wikileak- then search palin emails :):)

[NorthCarolina]

22. wikileak? never heard of it...do you have a link?

I tried wikileak.com and got an error...not a valid wiki.

[grannie4peace]

25. sorry it's wikileak.org

[NorthCarolina]

34. Thanks much n/t

[NorthCarolina]

36. They must have been taken down as the search doesn't return anything now

eom

[sunnystarr]

42. here's the link ... it worked once for me today

http://wikileaks.org.uk/wiki/Sarah_Palin_Yahoo_inbox_2008

The entire contents were submitted to this site but I believe anything sensitive isn't being disseminated. They will make it available to authorities who may need it.

[Ioo]

49. wikileaks.org (THERE IS AN S)

[MUAD_DIB]

6. Will she try to dodge this investigation as well?

Or is investigating something/someone else alright?

[Zuiderelle]

7. This is great. It's someone completely unrelated to the campaign and it exposes her using a YAHOO

account to route professional correspondence as GOVERNOR of ALASKA!! :rofl:

How stupid do you have to be, I mean, Really!!

[Orsino]

13. When you get the chance to expose your failings in public, you can't blink, Charlie. n/t

[rufus dog]

19. But she was saving money!

The only thing worse is having an AOL address.

But she saved a couple hundred dollars.

What a fucking fool.

[terrya]

29. That's the part that's getting overlooked in this.

God help us all if that idiot gets anywhere near the Oval Office. Jesus. :eyes:

[Ian David]

8. It's all over DU at the moment. nt

[Zuiderelle]

9. Yes, but just recently on CNN. I heard it too just a few minutes ago.

[valerief]

10. Yeah, talk about anything but the crumbling economy and the rotting bodies

and chemtrails in Galveston.

[progressoid]

11. Some screen captures here

[damndude]

12. lets hope this is a a repeat of the rove tactic to show your opponent,

obama, tied to political espionage

[nc4bo]

14. Oh Noes11!! So I'm breaking the law by having these pics and scrn shots on my pc?

Oh SH@T. Now I've gotta pull out my hard drive and burn it in acid and gasoline cause we all know deleting anything doesn't really get rid of it.

OH NOEEESSSS!!111!zz

[JuniperLea]

15. This feels to me like Cheney planting a story he can reference on TV later...

I mean, really! What governor in their right mind uses Yahoo!? And she's just dumb enough to use "todd" as her password!

[nc4bo]

18. It IS hard to believe. Really a stupid move if true but people do some really stupid things

even on their employers' computers so I can't be sure 100% either way.

[Essene]

16. why do i doubt this is actually true? i think this is just a 4chan joke

nt

[knowledgeispwr]

17. I hope they don't try to gin up sympathy for Palin because of this

or that the media gets distracted from the economy.

I'm all for beating Geriatric/Fetus '08, but I don't support invading the privacy of someone's private email account.

[ibegurpard]

20. Of course they will

Why do you think it was done?

[NibiruEnkiAnu]

21. the repubs did this to kill the thoughts of her using that email to hide info

a .gov email account can be retrieved in investigations while a yahoo email account really is removed from the open domain and you can say things in secret with a private account. that is the benefit for using a private account for govenrment business you wanna keep a secret.

people thought sarah was hiding things with this yahoo account, so republicans release it to kill those claims

i find it hard to believe her account had no incriminating evidence in it, or the hacker who hacked it didnt click every email and save/screenshot everything

its obvious what happened

1) someone in the mccain campaign got this idea and told sarah about it and sarah agreed

2) someone in campaign gets password from sarah, he logs onto the account and deletes all incriminating emails

3) empty trash

4) leak account, screenshot a couple dumb emails and cute pics of baby

5) delete account

6) give the republicans more "poor sarah is being attacked" propaganda to sprout

[Cosmic Charlie]

31. in one of the emails between her and her aide she discusses how best to hide their communications

that smacks of illegality

[grasswire]

23. I call BOGUS

I smell someone trying to steal headlines and Mo.

[Geek_Girl]

24. This is a GOP set up. The emails are nothing more than cuddly family pics

and nauseating emails from friends and colleagues. It plays right into the persona the GOP is creating for Palin.

[RoadRage]

26. You're probably right. Damn Rove

[NYC Liberal]

27. Wrong. This is the account she was using to conduct state business on

with a personal email address. The idiot who got into it was just not smart enough not to go screaming about it. He should have kept it to himself and then collected the damaging emails, then possibly hand them over to the investigators.

[Geek_Girl]

32. What incrementing emails? Post a link

I saw cute cuddly pictures of family. This is typical Rove. You do know he bugged his own office?

[regnaD kciN]

41. I agree. It's a set-up...

...designed to give her sympathy over being mistreated by Those Big Mean Democrats.

Would you like strangers staring at your e-mail, or making it public? Neither would anybody -- which is why the Repugs are going to make as much about this as possible, and seek to blame us (and, by "us," I mean Democrats active online, members of DU and DailyKos, etc., etc.) for it.

Sarahbou's star is fading fast. Don't let them use this as a ploy to restore her popularity.

[progressiveforever]

28. I still maintain it was not done by a Democrat

It was most likely her family or KArl Rove

[NashVegas]

30. This Is So, So Rove

I wonder if the FBI will get a warrant for the logfiles?

[Geek_Girl]

33. It would be awesome if he got busted this time

[NashVegas]

44. It'd Be Beau

Not that it will be traced directly back to him. Not unless someone squeals, anyway.

[Median Democrat]

35. Boo Freakin Hoo

[1Hippiechick]

37. It's and excuse to create doubt about the validity of ANYthing incriminating that is found - t'gate?

[Meshuga]

38. The economy is in the shitter but Mrs. Palin's Yahoo! email is more important

Holy shit!

[regnaD kciN]

39. It has no importance to us...

So, some cyberpranksters hacked her account. Big whoop. :boring:

The fact is, there's enough out there in broad daylight to discredit Mooseolini, and her plummeting approval numbers are the proof.

Don't let this build into something that can gain her sympathy. I don't want people looking at Sarahbou's e-mails, just as I don't want a Republican-led government looking at my emails.

The less about this whole thing, the better.

[quiet.american]

40. It's probably just full of ebay confirms. nt

[blitzburgh55]

43. McCorkell, reached at her office, confirmed that she did send the e-mail to Palin.

McCorkell, reached at her office, confirmed that she did send the e-mail to Palin. McCorkell later called and said the FBI has been in touch with her about this investigation.

An index of the e-mails in her inbox, which includes sender, subject line and date sent, indicates that Palin received numerous e-mails from her aides in the governor's office, some of which could be work-related.

An e-mail from her press secretary, Meghan Stapleton, indicates the message is about the "Motor Fuel Tax Suspension".

The subject line of an e-mail from Randall Ruaro, her deputy chief of staff reads, "Draft letter to Governor Schwarzenegger." Another one from Ruaro says, "Please approve" and another one is about "Court of Appeals Nominations."

Other e-mails from Ruaro indicate they're about employee and budget issues for the DPS. DPS is how Alaska refers to its Department of Public Safety.

Palin's chief of staff, Michael Nizich, sent her an e-mail August 22 with the subject line, "Using Royalty Oil to Lower the Cost of Fuel for Alaskans." The subject line of another e-mail from Nizich reads "CONFIDENTIAL Ethics Matter."

E-mails from the governor's scheduler, Janice Mason, indicate that they're about Palin's schedule for the week of August 10.

WikiLeaks said in a press release sent to reporters that Anonymous gained access to Palin's e-mail account around midnight Tuesday.

(Updated with reactions from the McCain campaign and the FBI, as well as new information about e-mails that indicate Palin used the account for official government work.)

[stillcool]

45. what's in her yahoo email?

other than a bunch of yahoos. Is she that stupid that she would use her Yahoo account to pass state secrets?

[Schema Thing]

46. "ToddsRide69" was probably not the most secure password

[Pryderi]

47. The RNC Hacked the Acct in order to accuse a DUer and make Sarah a victim again. n/t

[Teaser]

48. as I said elsewhere...if they did and are trying to blame /b/

well, there'll be some lulz in the future.

[samuraiguppy]

50. I would like to see them--if

anyone has a link....
