NBC’s National Security Reporter Ken Dilanian was previously fired by the Los Angeles Times as a CIA collaborator. ( Sept 2014 The Intercept, HuffPost, Politico, Los Angeles Times)
That’s pretty cool
Charge the MAGA cultists aka domestic terrorists!
At this point . The USA government is a one giant entertainment show
And they have nukes.
They’ve been like that since it’s founding
Arrest bonespurs. ). L. U. M. E. Deodorants. For. Deplorable Republicans ignorant by choice. ). 🐘🦨🐘🦨✌🏼
Criminals stealing from other criminals. Who cares.
You know what can’t be found? An nbc story on Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger on capitol hill today.
Probably because little Matt was squirming under the slightest of questions. He is a clown show puppet that blows Elon on the regular.
@Harvey Kent 🦜🐑
Tiabbi got spanked, lol. I can’t believe you guys fell for that.
Why are you lying?
How does this happen in our great country?
half of the country gets radicalized with racism after the success of the first black president caused them to elect a conman
It’s happens all the time
I think it is funny, that they used the A-1 medical service, taxpayer funded, to get to them.
why don’t hackers ever hack for good, like hack putin. put him out there and mess with him.
Already working on it, they got video of inside his mansion this week.
Wow just like everyone else in America who has had their info leaked out to the world and these lawmakers didn’t care but now we are supposed to care about them? Clowns.
Just to note. Most US corporations, banks and financial institutions regularly share this exact same information.
I can’t imagine how dumb you must be to equate hackers stealing information and selling on the dark web, to these corporations possessing this information WITH THEIR PERMISSION AND AREN’T SELLING IT ON THE DARK WEB. Which would you prefer?
Hacking a bank to get someone’s info to find them lmaoo holy that’s deadly. Hitmans can go and ditter off contracts if they have a hackermans
No they don’t lol do you even have a job 🤣
Food for thought: they’re in public seats. We have all the right to know everything about them. Besides, google shows you all of this for free. Be sure the FBI goes for Google too.
Not true. Social security numbers and dependents info isn’t readily available. Also, regular staffers aren’t elected and aren’t required to share all their personal info with you or anyone else. There are thousands of people affected by this. Not just some congressman. The only good thing is this will probably get them off their butts to handle this problem for everyone else.
Anyone remember when John Oliver used data brokers on D.C…?
hahahaha Chaos………who is the banana republic?
that’s awsome, their no different than any other person on the planet.
Your right. Their privacy is just as important as yours.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today….
@Sulaiman Mutiyat
Right on the internet , you find him , drop a message..,,
@Lawrence George
Ok, just found his website, impressive, Thank you.
@Sulaiman Mutiyat Nick Dranchak is good with trading of cryptocurrency and stock
This thread is so fake. Bots
ep their credit in good standing , their credibility standing sucks
Pretty sure that those information weren’t targeted. It was just amongst billion others hacked and sold in the dark web.
At least release the affected lawmakers’ bank information and stock transactions.
Nothing is free 🤪
Right??? Might as well do some good while they’re at it
Friends of George Santos perhaps. I will look at him seriously.
good…. now all the asylum seekers can have a new address to move to.
Yes, that is perfect, Sounds good.
McCarthy is to blame
They just gave slithering Barbie MTG a new talking point for the month. Congratulations
Stock transactions
So actual issues are talking points?
oh no! they should pass a law that makes it illegal for people to make medical decisions without the input of the state. F- em
Santos and his cronies
Who cares our information is literally owned by corporations
What’s a “Capitol hill law maker”. You mean Senators and Congressmen??? Because if anyone else is “law-making” that would be a story to report
Girl please trust me we can’t get rid of the dark web it’s impossible and risky and that’s like saying getting rid of the cartel and the same reasons it’s risky and impossible
Hope they were all Republicans.
Congress is too old I’m sorry. Smh
For anyone who thinks this is funny or that they deserve it or even that this info should be public think of the national security implications. Financial and personal data is what spy agencies use to put people with security clearances into compromised positions. Also, if you think it’s just congress then think about the dependents, the staffers and regular govt employees. This is bad for the country. However, it may just get them off their butts to try to take this problem seriously for the rest of us. 🤷♂️
WHERE can I find this “Data”? I have a few self improvement deals I’d like to make > *Rubs hands* <
A bet some maga law maker
Can’t mess up credit that’s already messed up 🤷♂️😂😭
How do you think Paul Pelosi’s address was put into the hands of his assailant.?
So it’s Democratic party leaders.?
Sweet.
Breach my azz, this is what Trump stole all those docs for and now he’s selling them around the world. Believe it.
Now who in the Moron FAR=RT could have done such a thing?? Hmmmmn.. Maybe the list was accidently slipped in with all those tapes Traitor McCarthy sent Fox? Murdoc and that Wanker MARS? Trailer Greene machine? Blather Worthy Boblurt?? Matt GRATEZ in a trench coat? …
My my however did this happen.
I mean y’all already leak all our information doesn’t feel good when it’s done on y’all huh
I’ll buy that for a $. Termenator.
They should ban all selling of personal information. If I’m doing business with a bank or corporation. It should be between myself and that institution. Not sold so they can make more money off me.
Help inform FBI to investigate the violation of the privacy done by Assumption uni, a Catholic uni in Thailand. Not only installing voice recorder everywhere, AU stole and uploaded the teachers’ voice chat on social media for fun for years. Violation of the privacy led to deadly incidents. I was a victim of robber in front of my home. I had been followed and hunted.
And keep doing it
Why can’t the dark web be shut down?
Everything has a price even a liberal will sell their country for a block of government cheese
That’s wrong. Left right or center.. i dont care who these people are.. you leave their families out of their nonsense.. this is bs.. i hope you guys shut that down… no one has any business knowing the details on my officials left right or center..
based
Is that what was in done of those documents Trump kept? Obviously he saw opportunity for money and power to be able to sell top secret US intelligence and or use as leverage to mediate his crimes…
