9. Sigh. Go to the "Smoking Gun" website and search for Guccifer.

May 2016

You can see the screen shots and other info he posted back in 2013. (He made the background pink and used Comic Sans font so people thought it was a joke.)

Then visit the Network-that-shall-not-be-named and again search for him; they have more details that answer your questions, including a more recent interview.

Last, search for "pailthompson" and his posts about this from yesterday; his timeline explains the significance of the hack period (the IT guy wasn't taking care of the server anymore, and they hadn't hired the new company yet).

Enjoy!

You didn't need to hack Sid's email to get Hillary's email address. YouDig May 2016 #5

I doubt many thought that email address was SoS official business. mmonk May 2016 #8

Any lie about Hillary Clinton will be plausible enough to those deep enough into derangement. IamMab May 2016 #4

A bit. Why what's up? NWCorona May 2016 #20

Just curious if, for example, you understand that "scanning open ports" like Guccifer claimed YouDig May 2016 #21
