We've all been guilty of falling into tribal political traps and supporting people who, under normal circumstances, we'd disavow.

No we haven't, you complicit toad.

Don't project your fascist-enabling on regular Americans.

A lot of the aspects here are definitely illegal. He didn't respond to the question very well.

Hacking into an email server is illegal.

Political campaigns accepting foreign donations (including valuable information) is illegal.

Negotiating on behalf of the government with a foreign entity if you are not yet in the government is illegal.

And of course the whole issue ties in with questions about how much influence the Russians may have over the administration, which has a lot of security implications.

The media is in Ferguson because of the protests. You think every black 18-year old that is killed by police makes the news?

If the other town protested just as much, they would have more reporters there too.

But I thought it "was known"!?

LoL "My sources". You're a real gumshoe, slick.

Do you even want to pretend to look like you know what you're talking about? You can't even link to a crackpot blog talking about what you're talking about?

The fact that this AMA is happening is final proof that "anonymous" is a fraud. Nobody in their purported position would expose themselves to such potential for being revealed if they were either telling the truth (and not a plant of some sort) or actually a high-ranking administration official.

The fact that this person feels comfortable doing this here is strong proof that they're either on par with the whitehouse switchboard operator, or a false flag plant from the right wing.

This is honestly very troubling to see this author drumming up sales for their book here while play-acting at being some sort of informant.
