a social media, political & social DISCORD ;-) campaign to stoke deep societal divisions and aroused Americans’ suspicions of politicians and the integrity of the electoral process
GRU active-measures campaign hacked the Democratic National Committee servers and a key Clinton campaign aide and released them to disparage the Democrats & a candidate,
ASSange WikiLeaks posted the messages stolen from the DNC in his his self called October surprise to selectively trickled out Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta emails
in a way as to aggravate this ,
while calling the election itself a “rigged” system trump took notice, looking for ways to turn the DNC leaks of stolen emails to his advantage & Trump at one point said that more releases of damaging information would be coming , so he was in the loop
repeatedly requested that his aides find people who could gain access Clinton’s private emails, Trump campaign staffers were engaged in discussions about pending leaks and how to capitalize on them Trump had fixated on Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, saying it revealed a lack of judgment and disregard for secrecy rules that bordered on criminal negligence. “Lock her up!”
Trump expressed his hope that Russia would find some 30,000 emails that Clinton had said she deleted because they were of a personal nature and not related to government affairs
all this became a press strategy, a communications campaign, social media memes and messaging based on the possible release of Clinton emails by WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks sent a message to Trump Jr., asking
“you guys” to help disseminate a link alleging candidate Clinton
had advocated using a drone to target WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Trump Jr. replied that he already “had done so”
it was “great to see you and your dad talking about our publications. Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if mentions us...”
U.S. officials are not prepared to tell the wor..
