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.

      It would be sweet if Iran became cool again. Old Iran looked like a somewhat good time.

        Don’t 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.
