Those were DCCC* files that got leaked today, not Clinton Foundation files. You got baited by a narrative you liked before checking what was in the release. The "pay to play" folder was Democratic Opposition research on Republican congressmen. Russian Intelligence / Guccifer 2.0 is scrambling to cover their asses for getting the DCCC mixed up with the CF. Don't trust Russian Psyops so readily next time.
** DCCC is the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the House. http://dccc.org/
If this tweet proves true, that is all that matters.
I'm laughing so hard at that right now... I guess no need to watch the debate, since apparently Pence demolished his opponent... Just like Trump lol...

I like how the "top moments" are "economy" and "Highlighting Hillary's scandals", wonder which scandals he's got scripted out?
It appears people called the phone numbers listed in the recent Guccifer leaks and they check out. Not sure how that would happen if they weren't real?

I feel like Clinton would have prepared Kaine for these, and if Trump isn't going to get under Clinton's skin, I don't think Pence will get under Kaine's.

I'll care when a legitimate news organization decides the information is worth reporting on. Reddit detectives will chase anything.
Have to wait until the clicks start adding up and the people who care about profit start yelling at the politicos that they want some of those clicks/views.
Then we'll get clickbait articles from pro Clinton reporters about how it's not a big deal, then you guys come and post it, then everyone moves on to how Russia and Trump have joined the vast right wing conspiracy.
Those are just leftover documents from the DNC hack. So while they're real, they're basically a non-story according to everyone that's looked at them so far (if they had real teeth they would've been released with the last batch, really). The big draw was only that they were the CF, no one really cares about more DNC leaks at this point
I don't think you need to wait for legit news orgs to decide the information is worth reporting. Just wait until psycho far right orgs report the information isn't worth reporting.
Which as far as I can tell is the current consensus among those groups (Daily Caller too). Even moreso than other past leaks which by this point had already had the worst parts picked out.
When r/the_donald has concluded this is a false flag and Guccifer 2 has been compromised, you can be sure there's nothing incriminating in there.

Excellent, we're moving along at almost Mook like speed.
Next comes "compare it to Trump!" and "Russia is destroying our democracy".
Regardless of how it goes, Republicans will find it easy to declare Pence a clear winner. Because after the Presidential debate... all Pence has to do is not have have a meltdown and talk about Rosie O'Donnell to make himself look great in contrast.
I predict it will be a trade of really tired talking points after which both sides will be "amazed" at their VP's "statesmanship".

The GOP already declared Pence the winner based on his stance on the economy and attacks on Clinton scandals. (The debate hasn't happened yet)

I'm sorry you didn't get an Assange or Guccifer present today GH. But these are not the droids you're looking for-and operating under the assumption they are when none of the smoking guns have materialized in any of the previous leaks is just silly.
Trusting reddit's super sleuths to come up with the right answer? Considering their track record I wouldn't hitch my wagon to that train. How many innocent people have they implicated in their moronic investigations?
