The Russian “Hacking” Narrative Destroyed In Just 12 Tweets
H/T to Twitchy, for compiling Iowahawk’s complete and total takedown of the Democrats’ and the mainstream media’s myth that the Russians “hacked” the 2016 Presidential Election.
It took him just 12 tweets:
1/ John Podesta, like 100% of everyone who has ever had a email account, received a password phishing email. He fell for it.

3/ whatever the case, the password purloiners downloaded his emails, which eventually got into the hands of Wikileaks, who made them public.

5/ At the time of their release (Oct) they were hardly covered by any media, and largely dismissed as a big fat nothingburger.

7/ Fast forward to December. The October nothingburger has now magically transformed into "vote hacking" and "election hacking."

9/ This is not Alex Jones or angry conspiracy kook Facebook uncles, it's the NYTs, the WaPo, our beloved State Radio.

11/ none of this is a defense of Trump, or his garbage kleptocrat pal Putin. It's an indictment of our garbage narrative-driven media.

12/ it shouldn't have to take a drunk internet nobody to point any of this out, but hey, here we are.

Brilliant!
The dark art of hacking needs a new term. At one time a hacker was someone who couldn’t play golf very well. Then it was anyone who could break particular computer codes. Today it is anyone that adds bacon to a tuna sandwich. The Russians may have trolled (see urban dictionary for the definition) the US election, but they have been doing that since the end of World War II.
