  It was killed by users flags. I didn't flag it, but my guess is that it was flagged because if you don't look to carefully it seams to be a rehash of the old leaks, or a crackpot site with fake documents. The nytimes.com articles have more credibility and are better written. In this cases you can vouch for the article to unkill it, and also email the mods hn@ycombinator.com. In some cases they remove the flags and reset the time counter of the article.

    Anything critical of Clinton tends to get downvoted and flagged to hell.

      Any politics usually get flagged and downvoted to hell.

  ... was wondering too. The screenshots in the NYT article look like "teaser-advertisements", while the actual sources are a big taboo. Keep in mind that Guccifer2 isn't a lone hacker as initially portrayed. Guccifer2 is a cover for APT-28/APT-29 (GRU). So if anything then this leak has to be considered for what it was: A foreign nation meddling in the elections of another. Current Russian meddling fits seamlessly into Russia's bigger doctrine on Cyber Defense Strategies [0][1][2][3][4] [0] https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democ...

PS: there is now also guccifer 3.0 :-) and I'm hitting reload like crazy https://guccifer3.wordpress.com/ https://guccifer3.wordpress.com/ EDIT: anyone interested in this subject also look for 'Gerasimov Doctrine' for a thrilling read.

    > anyone interested in this subject also look for 'Gerasimov Doctrine' for a thrilling read. Are you referring to Mark Galeotti? I'd like to read an analysis written by a Russian scholar on this, would you have any sources?

    Do you really think that the Russians would interfere so blatantly ? They're not stupid, these hacks deserve them. The only one that has to gain from this hacks is Hillary : she looks like the poor victim of the evil Russians and their agent Trump.
    • gloverkcn 10y ago
      Are you suggesting that Hillary realesed the emails to get an anti-Russian sympathy vote?
      • cmdrfred 10y ago
        If I was a member of her campaign I would have released the documents. The democratic process and corruption matter no matter how much you dislike the other guy.

      If you truly think these emails leaks have helped Hillary Clinton you have a poor understanding of politics and current affairs.

    > Guccifer2 is a cover for APT-28/APT-29 (GRU). How do you know? The NYT keeps using the passive voice ("believed to be tied to the Russian intelligence") or saying that some unnamed "American intelligence officials" told them so. Even when they name the officials, they don't say how they determined it.
