PoliticoĀ reports that it was sent communications from inside theĀ Trump campaign, including Sen.Ā J.D. Vanceās (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.
The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing āforeign sources hostile to the United States,ā for leaking them.

They got it through a fucking phishing email
HAHAHAHAHA
Vance clicked on a link for hot CILFs in his area.
JD Vance pays for pictures of dirty couches when craigslist exists smh
OnlyCushions
OnlyDivans
OnlyPouffes
OnlyFutons.
All of JD Vanceās former high school classmates are rethinking Vanceās high school locker room bragging about āMore cushion for the pushināā.
Siemens furniture.
Wait, just to be clear, does the C stand for Couches or Cetaceans?
yes
CILF omg that is delicioso
This is what most hacking is.
Social engineering is the greatest skill a hacker can have
But still you think with how much control they want over other people, youād think that no one would even have a chance at social engineering. Some gestapo-style blacklist intranet work email setup with a bunch of interns poring over every single little thing that gets stuck in the filter
If there is one universal truth for US Politics, and a majority of corporations as well, is that they all woefully underpay for IT
trump is also well known to not pay bills
Ugh, I had to deal with the āWhat do we pay you forā thing recently. I had to go back through an entire year of chat messages and emails and meeting notes to show them exactly all the shit theyāre paying for, and after that they said āOh, yeah, thatās actually useful, weāll keep paying you.ā
The Galactic Intelligence notion of āIf you do things right people wonāt think youāve done anything at allā is not the goal for IT. You need to make it blatantly obvious to all of the people two or three rungs above you that what you do is vital and necessary.
Iāve been in the position. The better way is to run from the company because thatās a red flag. They hired morons to manage it.
Nope. Itās creating real looking email templates.
I bet it was Eric. He seems dumb enough to fall for that.
Probably a fake OnlyFans link. āOh I better pay my Onlyfans āinvoice.docā ā
Nah, it was claiming to be a coupon for a free hug from his dad.
Leave off the ānahā.
That was an interesting read for me. Thank you, Iāll experiment with Yes, and.
Is it really that farfetched to think that the people working for the Trump campaign are dumb enough to fall for a phishing email?
Time to add another item to the vulnerabilities list
The real story is not that Trump had a novel length document of everything wrong with Vance (we know heās basically what you get if Oogy Boogy was filled with empty vapes and paternal disappointment instead of just bugs). No, the real story is that Trump picked him anyway.
Itās not some big complex conspiracy.
He picked him to guarantee friendly financial backing.
Everyone knows šŖ-hands isnāt a real billionaireā¦ so anyone who is that also offers him some cash can buy their way in. Itās how heās always done ābusiness.ā
Repubs are utterly corrupt.
When you āsend your bestā from a criminally corrupt pile of dogshit, you get the average republican!
Maybe the conspiracy has something to do with why Thiel and Musk and others want Trump for president.
Once the hamberders stop blood flow through his arteries theyāll have their personal puppet on the throne. The orange is unpredictable while JDV can be operated directly through the hand up his puppet hole
Thatās it, really. Trump was only ever a Trojan horse for far more coherently evil men.
As others have noted Peter Thiel money might have influenced the choice. Given Vanceās relationship to Project 2025 (he wrote the foreword to Kevin Robertsās book, remember[1]) itās also possible he was a strongly pushed Heritage Foundation plant - put in place to ensure the flailing incoherent mess that is Trumpās mind is actually implementing Project 2025 properly when elected.
Was it just a copy of Hillbilly Elegy?
Vance had one job - do what Pence wouldnāt on Jan 6th.
Then, back in the fucking box.
Word!
Trump canāt read so the briefing they gave him was all pictures
He was confused at seeing the Lovesac catalogue and said āsure! I already have a pillow guy!ā
Not enough of him or Ivanka clones so he just dozed off and farted
Tbf all the other candidates are also republicans. Iād pay just to find out how big the dossier of the alternatives would get.
Pretty sure a vetting document would have both negatives and positives, right?
Correct
Iām more interested in knowing what the Trump campaign considers a positiveā¦
He was named before Biden stepped down, so Iām guessing they thought heād help Trump with veterans and suburban women. Of course there is also money involved.
But also opposition research is actually normal and prudent. Losing it is obviously not. But do we actually know how damaging the info is?
Itās my understanding that the length is fairly normal. The vetting process for VP is very intense and thorough. They will go through every tiny aspect of your entire life if theyāre doing their job well.
Democrats also revealed that they were hacked. Iranians downloaded 2.3 terabytes of photos of Tim Walz hugging puppies. Secret documents as well. High School football plays and an old family tater-tot-hot-dish recipe.
Anyone got that tater tot recipe leak?
Turns out, he shared a tater tot recipe recently. Either itās a coincidence or this thread OP is the mole.
He knew he got hacked and he was trying to get ahead of the story.
Just going to save that one.
Come on guys, itās nearly been an hour, weāre starving here.
I honestly donāt know which Iām more upset aboutā¦ the play book is one thingā¦ but Meemawās hot dish recipe is sacred dammit
putin got a copy of it and is examining it for inventing new methods of tortā¦ cutenessless?
Clearly the football plays would assist Putins military commanders more than they seem to be able to manage on their own š„ø
Iran should mind their own damn business.
Theyāre so weird
I seriously hope you guys donāt actually believe that a member of political class being pushed for position of power is a good person.
Yeah, we all know that high school teaching attracts the scummiest people. The āpolitical classā (whatever that is) loves toiling away for no money and no status.
The most shocking part about this is that Trumpās team vetted JD Vance.
To be fair, compared to Trump, nobody looks that problematic.
The vetting concluded after a Bing search result.
I mean does trump even know how to read?
I think that actually checks out. For mob bosses like Trump itās not good if people are too clean. It means they could turn on them in the future. Problematic past is leverage and that means loyalty. How severe problems do you have to have to stay loyal to Trump longterm?
foreign sources hostile to the United States
Anybody who wants to stop Trump should at least be considered a temporary ally.
Amidst a sea of Russian bots and trolls shilling for Jill Stein at the hour of need an unlikely force stepped out to bat for democracy: Iran. Partly out of spite it seems - which given Trump is the target can only be described as poetic.
It would be sweet if Iran became cool again. Old Iran looked like a somewhat good time.
Donāt hold your breath. Their government is still as oppressive as ever.
I mean you could go to Dubai to simulate the experience. Or maybe Cairo.
Yeah Iām having a hard time feeling negative about Iran doing this when we know what Russia is up to. At least it levels the playing field a bit. Feels icky though!
Obligatory VOTE
Thereās no evidence for that yet either though. Itās just Trump claiming it.
Iran if youāre listening, we would love to see those RNC emails that were floating around.
I bet Lindsey Graham is running the underage gay brothel under a pizza joint.
I read this online, and nobody has been able to provide entire proof to the contrary!
Now now. As far as we know, heās only into consenting adult men.
I remember reading an anonymous sex worker report that indirectly pointed to him as having a diaper fetish.
Many people are saying it
Yes but not that he deserves it, benefit of the doubt nobody has actual evidence of it, the sources are even less credible than the hunter biden laptop bullshit.
And that Road Runner movie.
Good for Iran for getting some measure of revenge. It was atrocious of Trump to break the Iran nuclear deal. The US defines sanctions or economic warfare as āacts of warā which is unjustified towards Iran.
Even though US intelligence services said Iran isnāt developing a nuclear weapon, these sanctions and the deal was done to prevent them from developing. This is fundamentally undemocratic behavior because without a modicum of prosperity a country isnāt likely to become more open or democratic. All to support Saudi Arabia (who are worse than Iran) and the exploitation of natural resources in the region.
100% āRobertā is that persona trump does when he calls media and pretends heās his own press agent. This is trump trying to ditch vance without just coming out and saying that he picked a couch fucker
Thereās something delightful about the trump campaign complaining about foreign interference, which clearly should only be allowed by Russia.
Not so funny when itās you, is it
Come on letās talk about how foreign nations shouldnāt be interfering in US elections
And about how the āPersiansā chumped the Obama administration on the nuclear deal until you got the best of them and now they fear and respect you and only you
You nincompoops
āMr. Trump, the buttery males are coming from INSIDE the campaign!ā
According to the Politico article I read the only group saying itās Iran is the Trump campaign. Can we not give them free exposure?
Yeah I have doubts Iran would release to Politico and Washington Post first
That would be the move if they think theyāre about to be carpet bombed by Israel with American weapons under Trump.
Exactly. This headline is inaccurate garbage. It should be something like āTrump blames Iranā + preferably āwithout evidenceā
This is Trump throwing Vance under the bus to find a new VP
this is how we find out the couch joke was actually serious?
Thereās a couch tape?!?
Lordy, thereās a couch tape!
Given just how absolutely fucked this timeline is?
If it is mentioned in there that he did, and itās completely pure coincidence that the meme started, I donāt know how Iād process it. I feel like it would be that episode of South Park where Erik breaks his funny bone
āFucked timelineā
āSouth Parkā
So now trump will dump Vance. Whoās next lol
While I wonāt say he wonāt dump him, it would definitely make him look weak. I mean, Trump picked him and he dumps him as soon as he has problems and he picked a bad candidate? That just screams poor leadership and weak. Plus the RNC already happened, and with as much as they bitched about switching the dem candidateā¦ although Republicans arenāt exactly famous for doing as they sayā¦
Yea, the Trump response is often to foolishly double-down, he did last week on Kamala turning Black. I donāt see him being able to admit he was wrong about Vance, heāll probably double-down again.
I can see it now: The radical left is coming after JD Vance because they canāt choose their names like he did and they canāt fuck as many couches as he can. Or something like that.
Idk, practically everything heās done for 8 years now has screamed poor leadership and weakness to me but his cult keeps eating it up ā¦
I mean, Trump picked him and he dumps him as soon as he has problems and he picked a bad candidate? That just screams poor leadership and weak.
That was the Trump administration in a nutshell. I wonder how many Scaramuccis Vance will last.
Yes, but Mooch and others like him werenāt the position of power that a dictator needs as a yes man. Which Vance has promised to be. Thatās all Trump needs.
Trump wouldnāt do it himself, heād have Vance step down.
Heās damned if he does, damned if he doesnāt. Heās just done.
Doubt it. Foreign countries having leverage over you is basically the hallmark of trumps presidential position.
Can he though? Arenāt the ballots more or less fixed now? Didnāt he win the republican primary?
Oh, is it against the rules? Yeah, Trump probably wonāt try to do it then.
Itās against the rules, but the party can just change those. The issue is that the states wonāt print new ballots. So, even if the VP nominee changes, the ballots will still say Vance.
Wasnāt Vance duly elected at the Republican convention? Could trump unilaterally kick him out?
