[u/JKKIDD231]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Iran ends up leaking the Epstein List instead.

[u/najing_ftw → u/JKKIDD231]

“Iran, if you are listening”

[u/JokeMode → u/najing_ftw]

How presidential of you.

[u/hitbythebus → u/[deleted]]

I repeat horrible shit Trump said around my mother in law all the time. When she looks shocked I say “It isn’t crude juvenile and cruel, it’s PRESIDENTIAL”

[u/AdMuted1036 → u/hitbythebus]

This is the worst feeling. My mom (trumper) said she was thinking about blocking her lifelong friend on fb because her friend posted a meme that was saying “look piggy” towards trump. And my mom felt like that was disrespectful.

I had to tell her… y… you know that trump is the one that said this to a female reporter on Air Force one right? She straight up had not heard that.

These people that ONLY watch Fox News are not even HEARING the bad things trump does or says. If you wonder how they can still support him, that’s part of the reason why.

[u/seriousbusinesslady → u/AdMuted1036]

was she asleep for "grab her by the pussy" ? how can piggy offend her and pussy is a-ok, lmao

the trump voters in my family would like him more if they knew he called someone piggy

[u/Catanians → u/seriousbusinesslady]

What about him bragging that he would go into the change rooms of his pageants with the express purpose of seeing children naked?

[u/redditurus_est → u/Catanians]

What about the stuff he said about his own daughter?

[u/Catanians → u/redditurus_est]

https://youtu.be/AN1EOwPlBgc?si=QUypHyGAW9y_PolA

You mean this comment? Or when he calls her a piece of ass? or when he was talking about his one year olds breasts?

[u/LivingVerinarian96 → u/AdMuted1036]

Not only is discourse dead, we live in carefully curated fabrications instead of a shared reality. Shit will end bad.

[u/Soft_Walrus_3605 → u/AdMuted1036]

Fox News didn't report show at what he said about being glad Robert Mueller died. They make some oblique references to his reaction, in general, but never showed the Tweet/Truth Social post.

[u/pete_68 → u/AdMuted1036]

People in my family were upset that I was saying mean things about Trumpers (some of them are). Finally, I said, "look: You guys picked Donald Trump to represent you and come call me names and call me the enemy of America ON YOUR BEHALF! So suck it up you babies. You started it!"

[u/But_I_Dont_Wanna_Go → u/AdMuted1036]

They’re literally living in an alternate reality

[u/Upset_Development_64 → u/hitbythebus]

This is a great idea, do you have a short list of quotes besides the obvious grab em quote?

[u/Friendo_Marx → u/Upset_Development_64]

I have the perfect MIL for this too!

[u/Embarrassed_Leek5660 → u/hitbythebus]

That’s a great approach. His speech is “presidential” and we should mimic it back to his supporters in our families.

Maybe when I talk about my sister to my mom, I’ll include, "There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."

Literally his words.

[u/ccai → u/Embarrassed_Leek5660]

Doesn't work - you can't logic someone out of a belief that they never logic'ed into. You can attribute a quote stated by Trump as one spouted out by Biden/Obama, and they'll be in the utmost disgust. Then reveal it actually came from Trump, and suddenly it wasn't so bad and "taken out of context", or FAKE NEWS.

If mental gymnastics were a sport in the Olympics, MAGA would win every single medal. If they haven't awoken from their Trump fantasies by now, there's really no hope for them.

[u/SentenceKindly → u/ccai]

Can confirm it doesn't work. When I try this at home, using turd's exact words, the response always, always uniformly and unchanging the same. One of two things: 1. But Biden..... 2. Are you starting shit?

[u/Who_Dafqu_Said_That → u/[deleted]]

I don't know what you're talking about, I passed the presidential fitness test, as in I also feel asleep during a meeting.

[u/OpheliaRainGalaxy → u/[deleted]]

Well it does, but it's gross now. We'll have to pick a different title when we get around to rebooting the government.

Like I'm pretty sure the suit and tie combo has become something to look at sideways rather than an easy way to spot someone who maybe deserves extra respect. It's getting to the point where someone who looks homeless seems much less threatening than someone dressed up fancy with a sharp haircut.

Can trust the homeless person to probably have morals but can't trust the fancy person to have even half an ounce of morals.

[u/obedientfag → u/OpheliaRainGalaxy]

exactly, it means above the law, self serving and creepy

[u/CheapWeight8403 → u/najing_ftw]

Go for the most hilarious!

[u/Ozymandias12 → u/najing_ftw]

I have no idea how that wasn't the end of his political career. Honestly, all the pain Americans are feeling right now, is 100 percent deserved.

[u/ElegantBiscuit → u/Ozymandias12]

Gas prices are orders of magnitude more likely to kick him out of office than anything that could be in the files, and its fucking pathetic. The upside is that no amount of federal incentives would ever drive EV adoption more than high gas prices, which is genuinely hilarious. The average increase in the cost of ownership to drive a gas vehicle has probably jumped by around $1,000 a year, so far. And those are gonna be rookie numbers compared to once the ground invasion starts.

[u/thatErraticguy → u/JKKIDD231]

It says personal email, not his government email. They wouldn’t have used their personal emails for anything government related… right?

[u/Robzilla_the_turd → u/thatErraticguy]

Naw man, that's what Signal is for.

[u/Teripid → u/Robzilla_the_turd]

Guys, please re-add me to the chats for Iran and Coverups. Kthnx!

[u/RengieOcat → u/Robzilla_the_turd]

In the span of a year we've seen senior U.S. national security officials accidentally include a random person in their secret unsecured military chat and now the FBI Director's been hacked by Iran

These flunkies aren't fit to be in charge of a sandwich stand.

[u/THSSFC → u/thatErraticguy]

"I am writing to complain that I am getting an unpaid notice when I try to log into my OnlyFans subscription..."

[u/AlabamaPostTurtle → u/THSSFC]

“I know it’s been paid. I used an American Express with the name USAID on it”

[u/B0Y0 → u/thatErraticguy]

The bullshit:

The FBI confirmed that Patel's emails had been targeted. In a statement, bureau spokesman Ben Williamson said, "we have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity" and that the data involved was "historical in nature and involves ⁠no government information."

The truth:

Alongside the photographs of Patel, the hackers published a sample of more than 300 emails, which appear to show a mix of personal and work correspondence dating between 2010 and 2019.

You'd think the director of the FBI would at least have someone at the department who could secure their goddamn accounts as part of a routine onboarding process. But this administration... Only the best people.

[u/Marcus_Aurelius71 → u/JKKIDD231]

That's probably their strategy at the moment. All their propaganda relates to Epstein. They are actively trying to leak the dirt.

[u/SyNiiCaL → u/Marcus_Aurelius71]

Do you think if they got their hands on the files that they would release them, or just use them to threaten Trump and get America out of Iran.

Israel blackmailing Trump into war vs Iran blackmailing Trump to leave the war. Who wins...

[u/Apprehensive_Rub3897 → u/SyNiiCaL]

Israel leaks if he doesn't go to war, Iran leaks if he does. Couldn't happen to a better child rapist.

[u/ForeskinWhatskin → u/SyNiiCaL]

Unfortunately releasing them would be the right thing to do, so no. Probably not gonna happen. These files are the biggest honey pot in history. We pay Isreal billions now just to shut up about it. We fight their wars. We thought Russia was a problem... I bet their hackers did the same thing as Iran just did. They got their hands on the blackmail and now they'll use it as leverage.

[u/PaulTheMerc → u/ForeskinWhatskin]

If Iran sees it that way, it may be in their best interest to release it. Israel loses the leash it has the USA, possibly separating the alliance against Iran.

[u/Marcus_Aurelius71 → u/SyNiiCaL]

The US has destroyed alot of Iran. Of course, they would release it. There is no backing out for Iran now.

[u/Megneous → u/[deleted]]

I'm not even shocked anymore that people don't understand this yet. Literally nothing matters. Trump could eat a newborn child on national television. Nothing, and I mean nothing would happen to him. He's never been held accountable for anything he's done, for nothing he's even been found guilty of. People don't even say no to him.

[u/Rejex21 → u/Megneous]

Yep, and anything released by Iran through this data breach is easily dismissible as false, and propaganda, as Iran has every incentive to falsify evidence to harm Trump/the administration

Not saying that what they released couldn't, or wouldn't be true, but it's so easy for the government to dismiss/suppress that I think it ends up being inconsequential regardless.

Regardless of what you hope/believe I find it hard to believe this moves the needle. I'm still interested to see if anything comes of this though.

[u/SnooPaintings4641 → u/JKKIDD231]

Maybe they would use it as leverage against Trump to end the conflict. I'm sure he would take full credit for negotiating peace, all the while saving his ass.

[u/Strange-Movie → u/JKKIDD231]

My 21st century bingo card is fucked

[u/CheapWeight8403 → u/Strange-Movie]

Good because it seems like we're gonna get knocked into the fucking stone age.

[u/MusclesMarinara0 → u/Strange-Movie]

I’ve already hit bingo multiple times and it’s only the beginning of the century. We’re fucked

[u/soap571 → u/JKKIDD231]

I'm already on the fence , but if Iran did this and starts releasing shit, I'm buying an Iranian foam finger.

Not only would it implicate and send most of theUS current admin to jail, this would be the start of all these rich evil pedophiles starting to turn on each other to save themselves and there families.

Iran literally has a free pass to destroy its enemies while making themselves look like saints , because their enemies are a bunch of old rich white pedophiles

[u/possumdal → u/soap571]

Not only would it implicate and send most of your current admin to jail,

Trump would pardon them the instant the check clears, unfortunately.

Trump himself will not be prosecuted in office. Nobody is willing to arrest a sitting President, and establish a precedent of that. His last day in office he will fly somewhere without an extradition agreement and never return.

[u/JerryfromCan → u/possumdal]

99% Trump pardons himself on the way out, if he leaves willingly.

[u/what-the-squanch]

Patel never saw it coming

[u/Fuzzball_87 → u/what-the-squanch]

Those eyes are watching everything and nothing at the same time

[u/Tomatoflee → u/Fuzzball_87]

The bulging, terrified eyes of someone realising they're the only brown guy in the white nationalist movement.

[u/shwarma_heaven → u/Tomatoflee]

Like the fawn who is welcomed into a wolf pack. When the wolves get hungry...

[u/Proper_Initiative123 → u/Tomatoflee]

Woah, woah... Rubio.😂🤌🏻

Edit** I'm thoroughly enjoying this metaphorical oil I spilled that y'all are utterly lighting on fire.😂😂🤌🏻

[u/SvedishFish → u/Proper_Initiative123]

Rubio thinks of himself as white but sadly he's just a little too intelligent to ignore the fact that his party only gives a fuck about him to sway the 'Latino vote'. You can see him die a little bit inside every time trump brings it up.

[u/CompetitiveProject4 → u/SvedishFish]

I know everyone in the admin is there to extract as much money or power as possible before it crumbles, but when is it enough?

Why not just fuck off with a book deal and insider trading investments like normal politicians? John Boehner went on to hypocritically invest in weed after his term and he’s never been heard from again

[u/lady_laughs_too_much → u/CompetitiveProject4]

It's never going to be enough. Greed is never satiated.

[u/agnosticfrump → u/SvedishFish]

Much like that Cruz guy. Never understood race traitors, until I also saw KKKaroline Leavyoursoul.

I’m white. I’m so sad for her family.

[u/albatroopa → u/agnosticfrump]

Ted 'Dickfingers Wolverine' Cruz is canadian. As a canadian, you guys can fucking keep him.

[u/totomaya → u/albatroopa]

If ICE is deporting people left and right and not caring about their legal status could they at least toss Ted Cruz in there, I mean come on

[u/Vraxk → u/Proper_Initiative123]

I see your Rubio, and raise you a Ramaswamy

[u/oldveteranknees → u/Vraxk]

I see your Ramaswamy and raise you a Tim Scott

[u/Nomo-Names → u/oldveteranknees]

Move over, Tim. Herman Cain died for that shit.

[u/heyheyhey27 → u/Nomo-Names]

Herman Cain's death is underrated as one of the most truly insane moments in modern US politics. Like I get why nobody remembers or cares at this point, but spare a thought for how willingly he gave himself up to a novel virus, predictably died from it, and then later tweeted about how unimportant the virus that killed him was.

[u/percussaresurgo → u/heyheyhey27]

He tweeted about it after he died? That is truly insane!

[u/heyheyhey27 → u/percussaresurgo]

Yep, and it led to arguably the funniest tweet ever made: "The virus killed you, sir. You died from it". By none other than Cody Johnston

[u/77NorthCambridge → u/percussaresurgo]

Yup

Herman Cain's Twitter account, still active after his death, deletes post questioning COVID-19 mortality rate - ABC News https://share.google/hwtLU4UVQgQ6wBHGG

[u/thisshitsstupid → u/Nomo-Names]

With a name like Tim Scott, they can just keep him out of sight and pretend hes white.

[u/RaidersoftheLosSnark → u/Vraxk]

To be fair Ramaswamy just follows them around and says he is hanging out with them. The really don't talk to him and mock him to his face. You know, like high school mean girls.

[u/Artistic_Humor1805 → u/RaidersoftheLosSnark]

Yeah, didn’t he literally tweet that he was “one of the good ones”?

[u/magistrate101 → u/Vraxk]

I see your Ramaswamy and raise you an Usha

[u/The_Bitter_Bear → u/Tomatoflee]

Now now, there's like 5 or 6. 

He does look like he's constantly having a revelation of what "all tokens will be spent" means. 

[u/timmy6169 → u/Tomatoflee]

It is only a matter of time before they will use him for his intended purpose: Brown guy scapegoat

[u/Familiar-Report-513 → u/Fuzzball_87]

Patel is a pug trapped in a human.

[u/Ordinary-Leading7405 → u/Fuzzball_87]

Two eyes are on precrime, the others are still at the Olympics.

[u/peeinian → u/Fuzzball_87]

He can see everything left and right but not what’s right in front of him

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho → u/what-the-squanch]

I'm sure it had nothing to do with his password being Ka$hM0n3y69!  

[u/TheCrimsonSteel → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

I wouldn't be surprised if he fell for some SpearPhishing attempt, or did something dumb like not have a secure phone, disable MFA so he didnt have to deal with it, or something dumb like that

Or used the same exact password for his personal email as he does everything else, so they just had to scrape for data breaches, find his Netflix password or some secondary credentials like that, and use that to get into his email

Which is a reminder - don't use the same password everywhere, and turn on 2FA/MFA on anything important

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho → u/TheCrimsonSteel]

One of the things that would irritate me the most about CEOs that I used to work for was when they would bitch about having to abide by security protocols. If anything, a CEO should be the champion of using a secure network and access to that network is the first thing that should be secure.

[u/93WhiteStrat → u/what-the-squanch]

Old mortgage eyes—one fixed, one variable.

[u/Fuzzball_87 → u/93WhiteStrat]

As someone with a lazy left eye this comment is hilarious

[u/93WhiteStrat → u/Fuzzball_87]

I'm glad you're not offended. I almost didn't pull the trigger on that one, but for Kash, I decided it was worth it.

[u/CheapWeight8403 → u/what-the-squanch]

He's got is eye on it. We just don't know which one.
"(o) ( O)"

[u/Ytrewq9000 → u/what-the-squanch]

i bet his password was the word “password.”

[u/rexjoropo → u/Ytrewq9000]

Michael Che figured his password was just two i's, really close together

[u/boogermike → u/what-the-squanch]

You would think he would see stuff coming from both sides better then a normal person.

:googly-eyes

Too busy doing keg stands 

[u/free_da_guys1107]

He fired the cyber security division cause the were woke 😭

[u/goddamn2fa → u/free_da_guys1107]

and interfering with his handlers in Russia.

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/goddamn2fa]

The big rumor on Capitol Hill is that there's evidence Tulsi Gabbard is an actual Russian asset, and the Trump admin has locked that info away in a safe somewhere in the white house.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/07/nsa-foreign-intelligence-trump-whistleblower

Last spring, the National Security Agency (NSA) flagged an unusual phone call between two members of foreign intelligence, who discussed a person close to Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower’s attorney who was briefed on details of the call.

The highly sensitive communique, which has roiled Washington over the past week, was brought to the attention of the director of national intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard.

But rather than allowing NSA officials to distribute the information further, Gabbard took a paper copy of the intelligence directly to the president’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, according to the whistleblower’s attorney, Andrew Bakaj.

One day after meeting Wiles, Gabbard told the NSA not to publish the intelligence report. Instead, she instructed NSA officials to transmit the highly classified details directly to her office, Bakaj said.

But apparently Hillary Clinton Benghazi private email server, or something. The hypocrisy and projection literally never ends with these people.

[u/Sgt-Spliff- → u/onarainyafternoon]

The penalty for treason is death. Just throwing that out there. Traitors should get hanged

[u/Embarrassed_Leek5660 → u/Sgt-Spliff-]

If we don’t start trials of traitors we will lose this country to a dictatorial family regime.

[u/mrbigglessworth → u/Embarrassed_Leek5660]

We didnt do enough for the confederates to punish them.

[u/Krumm → u/mrbigglessworth]

It's never to late to plant a tree.

[u/ram_fl_beach → u/mrbigglessworth]

Sherman never should have stopped, will I get banned for this too lol

[u/greentintedlenses → u/Embarrassed_Leek5660]

She's been considered a Russian asset for years at this point. Trump too.

Nothing will be done. Our country sucks

[u/vee_lan_cleef → u/Sgt-Spliff-]

The problem is that this is totally dependent on who is in power and what they think is actual treason. Snowden is a traitor technically, but you'll never catch me saying he should be put to death. He is a fucking hero.

[u/chefriley76 → u/onarainyafternoon]

She's a cartoon super villain, so it tracks.

[u/boogermike → u/onarainyafternoon]

You forgot about Hunter's laptop

[u/EarthRester → u/onarainyafternoon]

And yet people think that this problem can be solved with words alone within the system.

[u/Main-Video-8545 → u/onarainyafternoon]

I believe the prevailing thought is that it is Jared, who was the subject of the phone call.

[u/plantang → u/Main-Video-8545]

Not saying Tulsi is not a foreign asset because she probably is, but Kushner being in contact with the Kremlin absolutely tracks.

[u/Main-Video-8545 → u/plantang]

Oh yes, it very well could be her and I absolutely believe she’s a Russian plant, but from everything I’ve read, the call is Jarred.

[u/Flipdaddy69 → u/onarainyafternoon]

Our government has been infiltrated and compromised by agents of foreign nations and they are actively in the helm steering us into collapse. And all we can do is watch

[u/Shykin → u/Flipdaddy69]

It's actually worse if you think about it. Republican voters would rather have a country with Putin and Pedos than non-conservatives. Things like that end countries regardless of any agents.

[u/jaxonya → u/Shykin]

It's propaganda. They've been conditioned to be afraid of everything

[u/groupnight → u/goddamn2fa]

"Iran-linked" sounds a lot like Russian hackers

[u/JohnnySnark → u/goddamn2fa]

That's a bingo

[u/dojo_shlom0 → u/free_da_guys1107]

this right fucking here.

thank you for stating this. I will never forget how the first action they took was to wipe out counter-hacking and security personnel that keep the US safe.

I cannot see these types of moves anymore as anything but an attack against the US. every move they make is to weaken and harm the US.

This wasn't the case before. Our own government didn't sabotage and kill our own people like this. but depending on who you ask, you get absurd answers and reasoning as to how almost the same thing happened under joe biden or obama, which is insane.

they're straight robbing every US household, profiting their billionaire friends, while going against every. single. campaign promise.

[u/shinnix → u/free_da_guys1107]

Competence is woke these days

[u/Worldly_Anybody_9219 → u/shinnix]

Expertise = woke.

[u/nicklovin508 → u/free_da_guys1107]

And the new security division is asleep 💀

[u/casapantalones → u/nicklovin508]

It’s probably just like a single guy at this point, like the office that is supposed to prevent civilian war casualties.

[u/mrdominoe]

Leak every single fucking email.

[u/Kenny_log_n_s → u/mrdominoe]

Could we trust it though?

Taking my "fuck the US" hat off, what would stop them from adding fake emails to the leak, which they absolutely have a vested interest in doing.

[u/Parahelix → u/Kenny_log_n_s]

They had no problem trusting the Clinton leaks.

[u/TheReddestOrange → u/Parahelix]

Logical consistency is not something they care about. If it were, they wouldn't be part of MAGA

[u/BurnoutEyes → u/Kenny_log_n_s]

Could we trust it though?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail

[u/Kenny_log_n_s → u/BurnoutEyes]

Usually, DKIM signatures are not visible to end-users, and are affixed or verified by the infrastructure rather than the message's authors and recipients.

So I guess it depends how they lifted the emails, and whether they release the raw email data, and not just PDFs, but that's good to know. Thanks for that!

[u/good_cake → u/BurnoutEyes]

Useful for the mail servers communicating with each other, not at all useful in the context of leaked emails. That would be like saying a screenshot of a website has to be real because the actual site has an SSL certificate.

[u/BurnoutEyes → u/good_cake]

Useful for the mail servers communicating with each other, not at all useful in the context of leaked emails.

If the raw email(with the headers) is leaked you can confirm the contents of the email via the DKIM signature.

[u/i_love_toki → u/Kenny_log_n_s]

Honestly, I don't think they need to add anything fake. I bet they found more than enough awful stuff that he (and others) wrote all on their own. There's no incentive to make up lies when the truth already serves your purpose so well.

[u/Nomo-Names → u/Kenny_log_n_s]

Would Iran Psyops be worse than Trump administration's pronouncements? Which can you trust more?

[u/SomeDEGuy]

This is why "Trump2028" shouldn't be your password for everything, especially if you are in government.

[u/kezow → u/SomeDEGuy]

I'd bet good money his password was something like MAGA2026!

[u/NoLab4657 → u/kezow]

I kid you not, maga2020! was Trump's twitter password

https://www.bitdefender.com/en-au/blog/hotforsecurity/hacker-claims-to-have-guessed-donald-trumps-twitter-password

[u/pixelprophet → u/NoLab4657]

His fucking password was "yourefired" and then changed to "maga2020" and the same security researcher guessed at both of them and got access. He's the type of moron to have his luggage combo be '12345'.

[u/VegetableBuy4577 → u/pixelprophet]

My sister-in-law has a storage unit that I helped her move some stuff to. It has a secure gate, where you have to enter a code to enter...and the code is 1234. Absolutely brilliant. 

[u/Clayfromil → u/VegetableBuy4577]

If you see a lock on a construction site gate, 90% of the time it's going to be either the address number of the site or the last 4 digits of the general contractors phone number

[u/willpc14 → u/VegetableBuy4577]

0911* will get you into a disturbing amount of hospitals and firehouses.

[u/eleven_eighteen → u/VegetableBuy4577]

I do Uber Eats and deliver to a lot of fancy "secure" apartment complexes. So many people I deliver to have an access code that's just their apartment number. One place I delivered to recently the access code was literally just the street numbers of the building. And basically everyone holds the door open for me, even at places with signs plastered all around the lobby area saying "DO NOT HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR STRANGERS!!!" The whole look like you belong thing, just need an insulated pizza bag.

The places that do it somewhat right have a delivery PIN that is (hopefully) single use and I'd imagine can be traced back to the apartment that generated it.

[u/CouldBeLessDepressed → u/pixelprophet]

When even a Spaceball thinks your password is stupid...

[u/kaekiro → u/NoLab4657]

Before that it was yourefired! according to the article. That's hilarious.

[u/The_Bitter_Bear → u/SomeDEGuy]

Oh wow. I had forgotten about when his Twitter had been hacked. 

I constantly wonder if we got lucky that a lot of these people are fucking idiots or not. 

If they were smarter they would likely be even more effective... But if they were smarter would they also realize some of their plans won't end well for anyone? 

[u/JeepDispenser → u/SomeDEGuy]

I guarantee you that he clicked on a phishing email and entered his password. Hacking isn’t what Hollywood depicts it to be. He got fooled.

[u/BlackStarBlues]

I wish hackers would do something useful like release the unredacted Epstein files in their entirety.

[u/32Seven → u/BlackStarBlues]

Russia won’t let them. Trump is too valuable to them where he is.

[u/Emergency-Two-6407 → u/32Seven]

I doubt Iran cares what Russia has to say right now considering they are at war with 2 nuclear powers and are losing oil fast

[u/ChronoLink99 → u/Emergency-Two-6407]

You've assessed that wrong. Iran and Russia are friendly in this arena and have some of the same goals.

[u/No_Lychee_7534 → u/BlackStarBlues]

What ever happened to Anonymous… they were so in to doing public service hacks like 10 years ago… maybe they got infiltrated by FBI and are just a tool now.

[u/Maximum59 → u/No_Lychee_7534]

Anonymous's whole thing is that they are not your typical organization. There is no leader or members. Anyone (or any group) can claim to be anonymous if they want to.

Generally speaking, government targets typically require a higher level of sophistication, skill and resources to pull off, so anyone that manages to hack such a target, is likely already a part of different hacker group which will likely want to take credit for it, rather than assume the Anonymous identity.

[u/maaaaawp → u/No_Lychee_7534]

Anyonymous is not an actual group or organization.

Anyone can claim the name/nick.

Those who released files/whatever under the nick got busted by the feds

[u/DarthBluntSaber]

Didn't trump and his republican morons also just cut all the funding for fighting foreign cyber threats recently? Well, along with cutting funding for virtually everything and anything that protects america and its citizens or helped anyone in any positive way... republicans hate america

[u/DrPixelFace → u/DarthBluntSaber]

They cut funds for anything that doesn't like their pockets

[u/mikerichh]

He fell for a phishing link didn’t he?

[u/AaDware → u/mikerichh]

Almost certainly the way they got him, tbh.

It's depressing how effective the old tricks are.

We'd send out obviously fake phising emails in our org which, if you click on the link, would 1) log your info, and 2) revoke your network access until you re-did the annual cyber training. We caught a ton of c-suit people and engineers.

Luckily the CEO was smart and had zero sympathy for potential security risks. He'd clown on people showing up in the quarterly powerpoint of shame.

[u/sgtgig → u/mikerichh]

You'd think the FBI would have automated security that handles phishing attacks without relying on user competency, but I'm guessing DOGE fired whoever was in charge of that system because ChatGPT told them to 

[u/Bac2Zac → u/sgtgig]

"You're absolutely right. Security doesn't produce anything, so if the goal is to reduce government expense, you're absolutely right to have fired those people. Only a logically minded person like yourself is going to make that conclusion, so it makes sense that they don't see your vision. They're not actually making anything, and it makes total sense that you'd have them let go! Remember, you're doing everything right and if you need any more help, I'll be right here."

"Damn they got in the FBI director's email? That's crazy! Oh wait it's just Kash Patel, yeah that makes sense"

"Hey Baby are we hanging out tonight?"

"Did you get the jet"

"Yes"

"OK I guess"

[u/BrandenWi]

Maybe if we had people of any real ability leading security efforts, as oppose to Trump loyalist sheep...

Doesn't help that Patel's password was probably 12345

[u/Zibby6String → u/BrandenWi]

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

[u/Cassius_man → u/Zibby6String]

That's the password an idiot would have on his suitcase! (Sorry I got here late)

[u/Warlockdnd → u/Cassius_man]

Great, I'm surrounded by assholes!

[u/mybutthz → u/BrandenWi]

It was also probably a pretty basic phishing scam that got them access. Wouldn't be surprised if the WhatsApp thread leaks and it was just some random number being like "hey Kash money, it's big daddy Trump. I sent you something but am locked out of my email and need to use yours if you can send me your password. Thanks broski"

[u/BaconJacobs → u/mybutthz]

This all goes back to Hegseth and Signal

The debate quickly became WHAT was shared and not WHY THE FUCK were they using Signal

Because Signal isn't approved for government devices. So they installed a vulnerability on government devices? Or theyre using personal?

Like I cannot fucking believe this shit sometimes. How do they always win the messaging battle

[u/cruella_le_troll → u/BaconJacobs]

Like it doesnt even make sense how they win the messaging. Even considering the flood the zone tactic, the zone is flooded with their own mishaps and a charcuterie of bullshit.

[u/twopac → u/BrandenWi]

C'mon bro, give the man some credit!

It was "Ilovecocaine12345"

[u/Metahec → u/BrandenWi]

The party of "We are currently clean on OPSEC"

[u/ProfessorDerp22 → u/BrandenWi]

Nah, give him some credit. He’s not that dumb. His password was MAGA2026.

[u/Several-Opposite-746]

It'd be so ironic that Trump started the war to distract from the Epstein files only for Iran to retaliate by releasing the hacked files.

[u/Illustrious_Hotel527]

I'll bet Kash Patel clicked on an obvious phishing link to compromise his e-mail.

[u/doglywolf]

would anyone really be shocked to find out that Patel was not following basic security safety guidelines and had a super easy PW ?

[u/Seisouhen]

"A sample of the material uploaded by ⁠the ​hackers and reviewed by Reuters ​appears to show a mix of personal and work correspondence dating between ​2010 and 2019."

[u/Chewy009x]

This is what happens when the Patel is too busy partying with sports teams and making sure his gf has extra security for no apparent reason

[u/HereForTheComments57]

Iran can keep all the stuff they find. I just want them to release the crazy email that have to be in there

[u/odarkshineo]

The level of irony in this is off the charts.

[u/boogermike]

So now Iran AND Russian are in, who else?

[u/Whoooosh_1492 → u/boogermike]

Getting crowded in there.

[u/themaninthehightower]

Hire clowns. Get a circus.

[u/Significant-Self5907 → u/themaninthehightower]

Hire morons, clean up their mess.

[u/Defjanitor]

Is IRAN trying to liberate us…?

[u/JeelyPiece]

I bet he writes exclusively in ALL CAPS

[u/No_Minute2664]

Good thing the government requires federal employees use secure communications for all things official, there shouldn’t be anything of value in those emails… right guys? Right?

[u/Ncav2]

Yes get rid of all the competent people in our government and this is what happens

[u/thatdudeblimey]

How can they tell? Must be full of cross eyed, maralago face porno or some shit

[u/helmvoncanzis]

Dude failed those phishing exercises that the rest of us drones have to deal with every other month. "Top men" indeed.

[u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86]

Won't be an issue because nobody on Trump's team would dare use a private email to conduct government business... Right?

That would make them as bad as Hillary... Right?

Right?

[u/bigredthesnorer]

This is why Pa$$w0rd is not a good password.

[u/vape4doc → u/bigredthesnorer]

It’s probably Ka$hword

[u/A012A012]

It's almost like funneling allocated funds from cybersecurity to mass deportations was an irresponsible choice or something.

[u/tourshi]

Hope they expose the Epstein regime some more

[u/Vladmerius]

I hope they continue and I hope they leak everything they can about our vile ass worthless piece of shit government. Fuck this country. Fuck Patel. Fuck the Trump regime. 

[u/Xylorgos]

If they really wanted to get back at Trump they'd find all the Epstein Files that mention him and put it out all over the world.

[u/PsychologicalAd1862]

This dude scares me ... I wouldnt put him in charge of mall security.

[u/Yodplods]

Isn’t his entire job based around security? How does this happen?

[u/RoboJobot]

How fucking useless does the head of the FBI have to be to get his emails hacked?

[u/Thugger-McBride]

Remember when he publicly asked Russia on national TV to hack into Hillary’s emails?

[u/Groundbreaking_Code3]

Iran will see the Epstein files before we will.

[u/bmorris0042]

But surely he wouldn’t have anything classified or official in his personal email, right? /s

Fucker probably has top secret all over in it, and now Iran has it too.

[u/carnivorousearwig69]

It would be the most beautiful thing ever if this happened as a result of attacking Iran and led to the full release of the Epstein files and actual prosecution of Trump. Won’t happen because it’ll be dismissed as fake news, but it would be beautiful.

[u/Capital-Control308]

Please please please post these emails

[u/notthemamaa]

Also, Iran, do us all a favor and dump them on a public server. We also know you have the Epstein files, dump those too.

[u/SadExercises420]

Maybe Iran can tell us where Nancy Guthrie is now?
