the release of the Macron "documents" - complete w/ all the evidence of Russian manipulation and fakery, hanging MS Word edit tags in cyrillic, etc, in the official dump, says volumes. They didn't bother to even read through the stuff before dumping it on the public.
- qb45 9y agoMacron documents weren't released by WikiLeaks, or are we talking some other leak from him? https://www.wired.com/2017/05/macron-email-hack-french-election/ https://www.wired.com/2017/05/macron-email-hack-french-elect...
- caycep 9y agoYou're right, I think what I recall was WikiLeaks promoting the pastebin dump, then there was some quote that was circulated by one of their PR people say they had no reason to believe the documents were falsified, when other people were pointing out the cyrillic edit tags prevalent throughout the dump
- rurban 9y agoYou missed that part of the story where the French staffers got knowledge of the intruders and deliberately changed some documents, to come up with the counterpropaganda after the leak. It was not much, but stopped prosecutors and the public to go after Macron. Which is a shame, but we got used to cointel in the meantime, and media is not helping.
