Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (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 “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.

    While I won’t say he won’t 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 candidate… although Republicans aren’t exactly famous for doing as they say…

      Yea, the Trump response is often to foolishly double-down, he did last week on Kamala turning Black. I don’t see him being able to admit he was wrong about Vance, he’ll probably double-down again.

        I can see it now: The radical left is coming after JD Vance because they can’t choose their names like he did and they can’t fuck as many couches as he can. Or something like that.

      That was the Trump administration in a nutshell. I wonder how many Scaramuccis Vance will last.

        Yes, but Mooch and others like him weren’t the position of power that a dictator needs as a yes man. Which Vance has promised to be. That’s all Trump needs.

      He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He’s just done.

      Trump wouldn’t do it himself, he’d have Vance step down.
