Sooner or later somebody will accomplish this & can't wait. So deserving of it Hackers do love a challenge.
Comedian and actor Tom Arnold has inserted himself into the news lately over his claims that he is in possession of embarrassing Apprentice outtakes of President-elect Donald Trump in which Trump uses racial slurs and other offensive language.
Since then, hes said that Trumps team has threatened him with lawsuits and that Watergate level journalists are currently on the case reviewing the footage.
Well, tonight, Arnold once again brought attention to himself regarding Trump.
First, the True Lies star called on gamers to access a WordPress portal to get a hold of Trump tax returns, which Trump has refused to release.

He then provided a database address that he claimed held 14 years of Apprentice footage. And he said he was doing it for America.

Later on, Arnold stated that he figures everything is fine as long as it shows the truth.

From what I gather from Trump & his supporters hacking (like Russia did to DNC & Podesta) is cool as long as it reveals the truth. Agreed?

It appears that Arnold is referring to comments and statements made by Republicans like Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), who said that if Russia obtained accurate info from hacked emails, it was doing what the media should have.

(4,742 posts)and for legal reasons he'd rather it be hacked and "stolen" than him releasing it. How could a court hold him accountable for releasing it if it is stolen from him?
Just a thought.

(2,851 posts)The second he started talking about this, tRump lawyered up and filed a lawsuit to keep him from opening his mouth. What he's doing is exactly the same as what the orange ass did by challenging Putin to go after Clinton's emails and disseminate them publicly to the American people ahead of the election.
The orange cretin wasn't going to personally hack, but he was encouraging the Russians to hack on his behalf. Arnold is bound by an enforceable CA/NDA and he knows that Resident Asshat won't hesitate to have a lawsuit slapped on him, tying him up possibly for years and thousands of dollars. It's what the asshat does every day. Nobody's got the personal energy and money to battle a thing like that forever. The anecdotal information that's been published about all the lawsuits the thing has filed throughout his adult life is staggering. There was a piece on NPR yesterday or earlier in the week from a golf club that was acquired by this dreadful wretch, and the lawsuits he filed against the club for the most trivial shit was astounding. The spokesman said that he'd sue for every mistake, including one of the affinity banners being maybe a couple of inches lower than the other three or four flying, a golf hole on a green maybe being slightly out of line from the original designer's plan, etc., and so on and so.
This country is fucking doomed. We're about to see just what a catastrophe he and his hallelujah GOP enablers are going to wreak. They are going to reset this hellhole back to before Teddy Roosevelt busted up the robber barons and there's not a god damn thing the Dems are going to do about it. If they start trying to stall and filibuster in the Senate, the Billionaire Boys Club wannabes are going to do away with the filibuster altogether and just roll over everyone. We're about to see what it felt like to be rolled over by German panzer divisions during WWII.

(30,058 posts)also realize information can be obtained on the RNC and their members. It may have gone their way before but this can change and go against them.
