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.

    The most shocking part about this is that Trump’s team vetted JD Vance.

      To be fair, compared to Trump, nobody looks that problematic.

      The vetting concluded after a Bing search result.

      I think that actually checks out. For mob bosses like Trump it’s 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?
