At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”
“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.
“He’s now admitting they could have done something about Benghazi,’’ Trump said, dropping the document to the floor. “This just came out a little while ago.”
The crowd booed and chanted, “Lock her up!”
This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin? (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment).

Russians, give me a break. This was a gmail account, this was someone inside their offices.....the pattern is too obvious. These Russian claims are beyond ludicrous, and irresponsible.
Remember this isn't the Pentagon, this is some older gmail on a personal laptop. Wives/husbands expecting their spouses/children of transgressions execute these "hacks" with keyloggers.
Lastly the Newsweek article is ridiculous. They claim that a new batch of only 2000 documents, released 6-7 hours prior it was nearly impossible to find an email containing a reference to Benghazi quickly?
With tens of thousands of Wikileaks followers online digging through the emails that specific email was likely found within 1 minute of release by thousands of people, then spread like wildfire. Blumenthal is a major figure, along with Soros everyone looks for on those forums.
