It seems like Guccifer2 could easily craft whatever narrative he wants by selectively releasing documents. For example, he could release pro-Hillary material and withhold similar material for other candidates. Or, even without any malcontent on his part, the documents he nabbed may not be fairly representative.
- rahkiin 10y agoAll media can do this
- mordocai 10y agoIf that was the case, the DNC could easily release materials showing that his releases are not representative. They can even make them up.
- tptacek 10y agoYes. That makes a lot of sense. One of the two largest political parties in the US should definitely engage publicly in a debate with "Guccifer2". Why didn't anyone else think of that?
- blackbagboys 10y agoIf there's credible evidence that the party apparatus had decided that the fix was in from the start, they owe an explanation to their millions of supporters and rank and file members, no matter how silly the hacker's nom de guerre.
- tptacek 10y agoSorry. I didn't mean to say directly that "Guccifer2" might not be a credible source. More, sort of slyly imply it.
- shard972 10y agoOr they can just keep doing what their doing, just keep denying that anything else than the trump files were hacked and everything is fine. They can do whatever they want, but then people can look at this shitshow of a story and draw their own conclusions.
- giaour 10y agoSo, you're suggesting that the DNC release oppo research on its own presumptive candidate for president.
