Wikileaks posts vague warning shot at Kaine, Brazile

Source: The Hill

Wikileaks issued a cryptic online warning to Democratic National Committee Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine on Thursday. “We have a surprise in store for @TimKaine and @DonnaBrazile,” the Wikileaks account tweeted.

Brazile has had more than one run-in with WikiLeaks since the group began released stolen emails.

She took the interim chairwoman post after the site posted emails from the DNC breach, ultimately leading to the resignation of then-Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.).

And Brazile’s name appeared in the e-mails stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, in a message that appears to show she had been given advance notice of a primary debate question that she shared with the campaign.

He thinks leaks are going to change this election?

Good luck with that

At this point, things that would have been clear disqualifiers in the past barely make a ripple in the news.

Folks are just over saturated.

...I don't think it's going to make any difference to the election at this point. Is wikileaks even vaguely aware of how piddling their reveals look compared to what's being revealed—without any hacked emails—about Trump?

Anyone that believes all that you're seeing is pretty naive and being fooled. Politics is politics and if you got hold of some of the crap happening on the other side you'd be shocked. Way worse.. Go Clinton and Kaine!

Info is always mostly false because they don't have all the info or are selective in what they release

Who says? well the god damn Sanders campaign

WikiLeaks are not about transparency, they're ratfickers for Trump

Why, exactly, is Trump your candidate?

Why are there no leaks of Republican National Committee e-mails?

Why is your master, Putin, so hot for Trump to be next US President?

You have this power of possessing hacked, unreleased info, and this is how you choose to use it? To support Donald Trump?

The Clinton camp and the Democratic National Committee should immediately dump everything they have got out to the public, now. Before anyone else. Let the chips fall where they may.

It is called getting in front of the story. It is also called transparency. It is also called calling the bluff of an extortionist.

over the past 50-60 years, how often, how many times and how successful has or own government been
in interfering and meddling in the national elections of other countries?

That's all the excuse or reason they need.

I just find it difficult condemning others (right or wrong), for the same shit we've been doing for decades, oftentimes
with disastrous results for the citizens of those countries.
