Also, at the end there when they implied that HRC is hiring Rendon for the general election, did anyone else find themselves thinking that this whole story could be a manipulative plant of the very sort they were discussing? Not that I think HRC is above this sort of thing.


I wonder if the implication was that the candidate from Texas was the interested party instead of HRC.

I know she is a "leading candidate" and no party affiliation was mentioned but the hacker has in the past supported right-wing candidates and Ted Cruz is also closer to being the annointed one than he was a month ago. It might not be a coincidence that dirty tricks reminiscent of past elections are just starting.

It certainly appears that he is already on someone's payroll. Trump? Maybe, though it would be denied of course. Maybe this is Trump's answer to Cruz's manager.

It appears though that Cruz already has a slimer helping him according to a story I read a few weeks ago.

Maybe it is HRC and she's just trying to gear up for the mud-fest that will surely start once the real campaign kicks off.

It was Rendón, not Sepúlveda (the hacker, in prison), who was allegedly helping Trump.

  U.S. presidential campaign—he wouldn’t say which—to
  begin working for it once the primaries wrap up and the 
  general election begins.


That's right.

I didn't keep the two of them clearly separated in my mind since they had operated as a team for so long.

I wonder though if part of his access to computers while locked up allows him opportunity to carry on the same sort of operations as before, this time only for "approved" clients.

Elections aren't what they used to be. Maybe they never were.


well, it is bloomberg lol
