Expecting this to happen to every European election where fascists are contenders. Last minute kompromat sloppy thohttps://twitter.com/kennethlipp/status/860623477455368192 …
Correct, but the hacking attempts apparently preceded tonight's release, we don't know what, if anything, transpired prior to it.

Early April -- but if we have no information at all why are we making a reference to it with a loaded HUMINT term?
-
A loaded term? The term existed long before the DNC leaks http://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/24/world/yeltsin-s-inner-circle-under-investigation-for-corruption.html … and was routinely applied to describe similar operations
-
I don't object to use of the term, I'm saying it describes a specific/different tactic than dumping docs, kompromat is blackmail material.
-
Such troves are arguably blackmail material (Greek politics also work like that). Dumping is just usually a last recourse tactic
-
Allllllllllll I'm saying is that info made public can't be kompromat.
-
Agreed, in that after the fact, it's rendered unusable for blackmail :)
-
But that's the only part we have any info on, Asteris!
-
That doesn't preclude methodological observations. Btw, I got similar flak when talking about Israeli hasbara during the Gaza wars

My guess is that the intervening period was spent parsing the docs, that they were dumped wholesale indicates there's not much there.

Or, also, faking docs to intersperse among the genuine ones, if the Macron campaign's allegations can be taken at face value
