There still isn’t a lot of information on who leaked the CIA’s hacking/surveillance documents to WikiLeaks, beyond a lot of empty speculation about it probably being a contractor of some sort, but the White House is loudly insisting they’ll go after whoever it is and prosecute them.
They say President Trump is ‘extremely concerned’ about the breach, with statements mostly centering on condemning the media for not making a bigger deal out of the new leaks compared to WikiLeaks’ release of emails related to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
As for the “who” they’re going to get for the new leaks, there has been talk that the sensitive data was widely distributed in an unauthorized manner, with a lot of contractors and former officials having potential access. This makes a long list of possible leakers, and not much to go by.
WikiLeaks, of course, does its best to protect the anonymity of its sources, and since there doesn’t appear to be any question as to the authenticity of the content, there is no reason to offer any more hints as to how they came by it, which means the administration may never find out who initially leaked it.
But Trump won the election on the rumors spread by WikiLeaks. Now the leaks are not OK but a few months ago he invited Russia to spy on us with that infamous “Russia, are you listening” speech.
Trump won the election on the votes of 80,000 or so Rust Belt workers who he talked to and Clinton ignored.
Any idea on what’s happened to the accusation of Obama wiretapping Trump tower?
Comey’s made a deal with both sides?
It’s still coming and it’s going to definite yes or no?
It’s coming but they’ve worked out a compromise in which it as due to Trump being cleverly fooled by somebody (Russia) into thinking it was Obama?
You’re probably closer to knowing what usually happens in cases such as this that can be destructive to either side, so what?
Trump appealed to the white nationalism of the angry white guy in the rust belt.
They voted for him on racism and bigotry more than anything else IMO.
Maybe it’s time to make one final antiwar thrust. There are many indications that the Trump gathering storm is close upon us. Can there be much doubt that Trump and his generals are preparing for the convincing show of force in Iraq that Trump has openly proclaimed was lacking? The biggest challenge to our common cause is soon to be Americans basking in the glory of victory. Or at least, a massive slaughter in Iraq that will be spun as victory. I’m assuming there’s no question on which way ‘you’ will go.
Maybe an initial move would be to either have Raimondo turn back willingly or just have him sent packing.
That was a joke!!! Trump was crowing over Hillary, not speaking truth.
Wikileaks does not spread rumors; it releases info we should all be able to access.
If we are to exclude a very small group of Trump supporters who are antiwar, we are left with two political parties that are totally in sync with the prowar agenda. The only exception to that would be the presumption that Trump was speaking hope toward US/Russia relations. But that it so obscure and so far in the past by now that it can almost be ignored if the Dems have been convinced by the spooks agencies that national unity is required on foreign policy. And there’s no doubt whatsoever that Trump isn’t going to raise the issue again unless he has to respond to the Dems on it.
We’ll certainly see indications of such in the next few days if that’s the case with a toning back of the party rhetoric of the state sponsored media propagandists such as Maddow, Hannity, etc.
It could also be the answer to what has happened to Trump’s accusations against Obama wiretapping Trump tower?
Trump himself is the most rabid warmonger, or actually will do anything to pander to his racist and bigoted base. And that base is not antiwar. The opposite of it.
The only anti-war group in US are the liberals (not to be confused with the right of center Democratic politicians).
Now MR.Trump,do you still love Assange?
