President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Correct. And there are more than 150 million phishing attempts sent every DAY. It's called life in 2018.

I get one every other week from some place saying my Adobe Flash is out of date and "click here to install update." Looks legit, right down to the logo. Woe to anyone who clicks on the install button, however.

 

Great googly moogly ...

 

Here's the rather obvious difference:


(CNN)Parts of an operation linked to Russian military intelligence targeting the US Senate and conservative think tanks that advocated for tougher policies against Russia were thwarted last week, Microsoft announced early Tuesday.

The disclosure, coming less than three months ahead of the 2018 midterms, demonstrates new ways in which Russia is attempting to destabilize US institutions. The news also places additional pressure on President Donald Trump to take action, even though he downplayed Russia's involvement as recently as Monday.

In its announcement, Microsoft said it executed a court order giving it control of six websites created by a group known as Fancy Bear. The group was behind the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee and directed by the GRU, the Russian military intelligence unit, according to cybersecurity firms.

The websites could have been used to launch cyberattacks on candidates and other political groups ahead of November's elections, the company said.

Microsoft said the domains were "associated with the Russian government and known as Strontium, or alternatively Fancy Bear or APT28." The company said it has no evidence that the domains were used in successful attacks but that it was working with the potential target organizations.

Microsoft argued in court that the domains were posing as some of its company's services.

 

Witch hunt!

 

Boom?

Trump’s Former Fixer, Michael Cohen, Reaches a Plea Agreement Over Payments to Women

 

My prediction is Trump will commute Manafort's sentence but not issue a full pardon, a la Scooter Libby. Pardoning Manafort removes any requirement of Fifth Amendment protection, and he can thus be compelled to testify against Trump.

Looks like Cohen is going to sing, so no pardon for him.

 

Wouldn’t that make a pardon more likely? It would be the only way Trump could get him to stop talking.

 

Everything I’ve seen says he’s not cooperating with the feds.

 

Is it weird if I start masturbating furiously in the coffee shop? This time it wouldn't be sexual.
