Nº 45

Just realised we do not have an obligatory Trump thread.

What did y'all think of the Kremlin leak? Real deal, or just another Putin gambit?

If the real deal, what sort of kompromat you think they had on him? How did a document like that leak?

If not the real deal, who benefits?

I think these are the key questions. Remember the forged Air National Guard personnel document on George W. Bush? The information in it was true, but after Dan Rather bit on it, someone (I presume the forger) proved it was a forgery. In information warfare it's called "inoculation": put out true information that is damaging to one's own side in such a way as to cast doubt on its veracity.

I doubt anyone in Russian intelligence leaks. Those who do get a cup of polonium tea or worse.
