Like premature ejaculation, that was wholly unstaistfying.

It should be noted they just doxxed hundreds if not thousands of donors.

Looked through the "leaks", basically a nothingburger. The TARP funds/Congressional Donation spreadsheet is all publicly available information and was likely a compliance document for the DNC. I doubt any of these files came from a Clinton Foundation server since they all appear to be internal Democratic Party documents. Probably just leftovers from the DNC breach that the Russians are recycling to meddle in the election.

Russian intelligence really needs to just butt out of US elections and domestic politics.... after the election they might well find an even more hostile reception in Washington from both political parties and the Executive Branch agencies than before.

So no "smoking gun" here, even assuming the the files weren't manipulated in Moscow, prior to being released.

Doesn't Clinton Foundation have to disclose their donors since they are a charitable foundation

It looks bad, and it will probably be jabbered on and on about. However, TARP happened when Democrats only had a slim Senate majority and a reasonable House majority under Bush, so that doesn't seem like a situation where they would have that sort of leverage. Additionally, if this is Clinton Foundation files, why is that in there? That doesn't make sense.

Also, it's interesting that as Assange promised a dump before the first debate, "Guccifer" released a bunch of DNC documents, and as people expected a dump today, Guccifer again releases a bunch of stuff (iirc, Assange promised leaks on the foundation as well). Is Guccifer stealing Assange's thunder? Maybe Wikileaks didn't release anything because it didn't actually have it yet?

Either way, I hope this wakes these old farts up to IT security and the need to protect data. Maybe from now on they will stop acting as if this is no big deal. It shouldn't have taken something like this. Proper security protocols have been around for many years now.

This is literally just left over DNC hack files, even the DailyCaller just updated their site.

Edit: Politico too.

LOL, there is a file literally named "Pay to Play" that supposedly contained illegal donations to Clinton foundation but actually had only some oppo research for a couple of Republican congressmen.

OMG - Have someone checked this? It has got email id of all donors which can be EASILY verified!

But I don't buy this - TARP was during Bush I think but under a Dem Senate right? Did Clinton really have that much power? Apparently there is a folder named Pay to Play.

I mean many emails were hacked, if there is any proof of a % of Payout of Bailout then it was pure criminal & fraudulent. But without it, it is difficult to prove any payout for Bailout, you can always say it was a random file containing details!

I don't know why this should be true - DCCC info, even info on all Democrats - Why would someone be dumb enough to have a Pay to Play File?

It is probably rubbish, if there is proof for Pay to Play, Clinton should be going to jail, but this is not good enough - I hope Assange releases strong info on both Clinton & Trump!

Its literally just left overs from the DNC hack. There's even a lease contract for the Virginia DNC office in the files.

Guccifer 2.0 claims on his Twitter that these are DNC files on the Clinton Foundation's server, and there is more to come than what was released this afternoon, which was just a "tiny part of the files".  We have no way of knowing whether this is true, though.

I expect nothing to come of this, just like Wikileaks.

In some ways having DNC files on a foundation server doesn't really make sense to me unless it was information one party either required to be shared for some reason or requested to be shared, and the other agreed to it. So yeah, something smell fishy. Either its a bunch of bunk or there's more to the story. I suspect the former.

It's a hoax, media already reporting it.  Hill has a story on it, but can't get link right now.
