Bombshell report reveals Russians altered at least some of leaked Podesta emails

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/bombshell-report-reveals-russians-altered-at-least-some-of-leaked-podesta-emails/

Specifically, one source tells the AP that notorious Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 airbrushed the word “CONFIDENTIAL” on top of a document that did not have that label in order to make it more immediately appealing to reporters. It is not known at this time whether Guccifer also altered the content of the Podesta emails to make them appear more scandalous than they really were.

Additionally, the AP’s source claims that “the first document Guccifer 2.0 published on June 15 came not from the DNC as advertised but from Podesta’s inbox.”

In addition to revelations about the alteration of documents, the AP’s report also reveals that Guccifer 2.0 specifically told some of its reporters that his goal was to sink Clinton’s campaign and to make Trump the president.

“Together with Assange we’ll make america great again,” he wrote to one reporter.

What would be surprising would be the Russians NOT altering.

Now, let's see how most of the press let this die fast.

to busy promoting Donald Trump for FREE. This story about the Bogus Emails was floating in the water off and on for several months.

Remember,it was one of these bogus emails that peeked Comey's interest and when was that?

They changed the voting results too. But meh, nobody has even bothered to do an audit knowing we were hacked. It’s astonishing.

I do remember one of the Obama administration report from right after the election deemed the Podesta emails to be authentic.

He is of the ilk who think anyone who dares to disagree with him is "corrupt."

Facsism, but for the "left."
