BREAKING: Clinton campaign got hacked by Russians too

This is troubling. If someone got access to all of her campaign e-mails I am sure they will find a lot of stuff like talking about message strategy that her opponents will use to feed into the opportunist/not trustworthy mantra.

The hackers got Hillary!

A computer network used by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was breached by hackers as part of a sweeping cyber attack that appears to be targeting Democrats, Reuters reported Friday.

Clinton’s campaign is just the latest victim in a string of high-profile security failures — and the second breach to be revealed on Friday by beleaguered Democratic officials.

Earlier in the day the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee admitted to being hacked — and officials said the cyber spying bore a striking resemblance to a prior hack into the the Democratic National Committee computers that bore all the hallmarks of Russian intelligence...

The extent of the campaign hack is not clear and there’s no detail on what type of information the thieves would have gotten from campaign computers, Reuters said.

They are afraid of her because she is not afraid of them.

I think we nominated a darn good one this time.

I hope the FBI makes progress investigating this.

I believe that Manafort is the link between Trump and the Russians. Whether Trump realizes what is going on, I am not so sure. He may be just a tool and a fool.

I think the FBI should be asking Manafort some questions.
