Hopefully the French have learned a thing or two about how the Russians are trying to undermine and weaken Western democracies by observing our pitiful situation here in the good old U.S. of A. While Donald J. is still busy trying to figure out if there was any tampering with our election and if so wondering who it could possibly have been the Russians are at it again.
I had heard disturbing reports from surveys of French voters wherein many were thinking they just wouldn't vote. Oh please.
ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, another massive data dump seemingly intended to sabotage a center-left candidate. But in the case of France’s impending runoff, slated for Sunday, the latest leak of emails appears far more slap-dash than the Russian hacks and leaks that plagued Hillary Clinton’s campaign. And in this case, they’re timed to prevent the target of those leaks from even having a chance to respond.
On Friday, a collection of links to torrent files appeared on the anonymous publishing site PasteBin. The 9GB trove purports to be an archive of leaked emails from the party of Emmanuel Macron, the left-leaning candidate currently favored to win France’s impending runoff election against far-right opponent Marine Le Pen.
