Top Clinton Aide Reveals ‘Nightmare Scenario’ That Could Hurt Her Chances in November
Hillary Clinton could soon be hit by an “October Surprise,” consisting of a release of even more sensitive information to the Clinton campaign by Russian hackers.
Democratic Party officials have already been hit by hackers.
“That is a nightmare scenario, and let’s hope that we don’t see an October surprise — emails from Hillary Clinton’s server that have either been in the press, or worse, the classified ones that no one in the public has seen,” said retired Adm. James Starvis
The Russian hackers have not been confined to hitting just the DNC in their efforts. They have also hacked the Joint Chiefs as well as the private email servers of some Clinton campaign staffers. Furthermore, the Clinton Foundation itself has been hacked. Security officials believe that Clinton’s private server while she served as secretary of state has also been hacked.
Fiona Hill, a former intelligence official and author of the book Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin, stated, “It’s much more nuanced than just influencing the election; it’s more about putting a spotlight on the United States’ failings and damaging the credibility of our political system and our political elites.”
Hill went on, “The advantage of that (for Putin) is that it will be extraordinarily difficult for whoever comes into office in January to forge a coherent foreign policy. The United States will be pretty wounded on the global stage.”
Mark Galeotti, a senior research fellow at the Institute of International Relations in Prague, said of the Russian government, “I don’t think they necessarily want or expect to see a Trump presidency. Rather, they want a weak Clinton White House that is too mired in domestic disputes and struggling to achieve a mandate at home to be that effective or aggressive abroad.” (For more from the author of “Top Clinton Aide Reveals ‘Nightmare Scenario’ That Could Hurt Her Chances in November” please click HERE)
