Well shit. That is what I remember. All my searches: 'russia hack RNC', 'republican hack' , 'RNC hack', etc. were flooded with 2021 results from a different hack. Nothing from WikiLeaks, DCLeaks, Gucifer, 2016 presidential hack, or 2016 Russia interference yielded anything fruitful.

Thank you! At least I feel less crazy.

I think you were perfectly reserved in your response. It helped me not dig in or just blow it off and not respond. Thanks!

You're right. I absolutely cannot find that wikileaks had RNC info. I've searched quite a bit determined to find what I remember but nada.

There is this but about DCLeaks having but releasing a bit of republican info on Trump's primary challengers

On August 12, 2016, DCLeaks released roughly 300 emails from Republican targets, including the 2016 campaign staff of Arizona Senator John McCain, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, and 2012 presidential candidate and former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann.[13] The release included 18 emails from the Illinois Republican Party.[18]

But that is not what I remember and certainly doesn't help my case.

I apologize. Either my memory fails me or I was mislead (or both). Certainly does not refute Assange being a channel for Russia to get trump elected but does make me look like a tool.

If the goal is winning hearts and minds I can't say he's doing much more than yada yada...status quo...yada yada some bullshit Russian talking point.

You don't report for any party. You report the truth that you find by linking the facts you uncover.

I can't explain their motives. ~~I can only say WikiLeaks had them but did not release~~.

Edit: nope can't say that. Apparently that was just an embolism. Nothing to see here just mopping up my pride.

Journalists do not pick sides. ~~He had email from the RNC and~~ DNC via Russian government sponsored hacks. He chose to release ~~only~~ DNC emails to the benefit of pro Putin candidate Trump. Edit word

Edit edit: can't find any info on RNC hacks parallel to the DNC ones

Had one on my shoulder last week. Thought it was a wolf spider at first. Hid it's legs tucked up just like this and buzzed hard when I tried to pick it up.

Edit: looks like it's an Eastern Eyed Click Beetle

With the all-wheel drive Cybertruck’s current $79,990 price, it stands to reason the combined taxpayer cost for a vehicle and new UP.FIT features could easily top $90,000. <

I'd be pretty upset if my municipality was set to dump 100k on this trash.

I can't imagine what it takes to stand up there and say that shit with a straight face. Fuck you for representing my country.
