   hey pst, people are assuming the Trump campaign got hacked, but this isn’t how hackers operate. some documents are being exfiltrated, but that doesn’t mean it was a hack.

     also, this isn’t true, but it’s certainly in line with how a conservative Republican probably thinks media law works!

     i guess “Trump campaign collapsing into chaos, infighting” isn’t as interesting as “Iran hacks Trump campaign email”?? even though both at this point are **pure** speculation.

     also, the stuff getting leaked is… boring. at best, it’s internally embarrassing for some unknown campaign infighting reason, whiiiiiich MIGHT be a clue, hey?????

     when the Russians hacked the Democrats, they tried to launder the material in careful leaks. when some vigilante hacker gets stuff, they announce it and post the trove. sending documents to Politico from an AOL account is neither of these.
