That's because there wasn't any actual "hacking". Obviously they were leaked by the Obama administration, which needed a way to get them out there without owning up to being the source of the leak. I'm sure in twenty years or so we'll learn the "hacker" is a member of the Obama campaign who got the documents directly from the IRS.

Congratulations, Democrats. You put this generation's Nixon in the White House.



Wow.

All the conspiracy theories. Im an outsider; i live in Holland. I dont think you americans realize just how paranoid you guys come accross, at times like these.

From both sides. If you had any distance, you would realize this is the work of a troll, with no political ambition and no secret documents.

He is making you all consider the most ridiculus scenarios where the world is filled with people you cant trust, but who are somehow able to collaborate in these large scale conspiracies.


If it makes you feel better, remember that there are far more of us who are reading these threads than commenting. All comments on the internet come from the fringe.


Well, if you're right, and this is all the work of an internet troll who doesn't actually possess any documents, then those documents won't be released. But if they are released, will you be willing to admit you may have misread the situation?


Sure. I don't know what's really going on. But neither do you. Yet you speculate the worst scenario and start slandering half of your nation.

Here in Holland we have a saying, where the literal translation in English would be "The inkeeper trusts his guests after his own character". Meaning that when a person has little faith in people, they are actually afraid that people are as morally corrupted as they themselves are.

In general, nice people collaborate more easily. Civilization is the conspiracy of nice people making a nice country. Except it's not a secret. So, when I don't know anything, and you don't know anything, the difference in our assumption, is the difference in our character.

Your speculation and slander tells us nothing about reality. It only tells us something about you.


Or maybe it's just a more informed opinion than one from Holland.

Time will tell.


"informed" does not mean what you think it means, you speculate, and then point and slander a group of people.

If you were informed, you would have relevant information, not unsubstaniated accusations. What gives you the right to just publically accusse anybody based on nothing but your prejudices?


I think the track record of the current administration puts my accusation on pretty solid ground. As I said, the election is in November, so I expect we'll know in four to six weeks.


Whoa. When did I leave hacker news?
