Good. Release it.
Fuck whatever this necrotic oligarch owned cesspool doesn't want the peasants to see.
The owners and the bigots blew up civility and process. No reason to heed either at this point.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unfortunately there could be a video of him r*ping an underage girl while she's holding her id up to the camera and repeatedly stating her age and roughly half the population wouldn't care.
A third wouldn't care, a third would jack off to it and you know sanity is in a minority.
I fully believe this is a cover story for RIGHTFULLY releasing the investigation details to the public, but I fucking LOVE that we can just blame anything on hackers now because certain people allow their shit to get to stolen all the time.
Skip the middle men and just start leaving shit in insecure places you want the press to get, I say.

Should we call these Honeypot leaks? Create a server running on completely unpatched Windows XP then put what you want leaked, then attach it raw dog to the internet without any kind of firewall.
Well then you're still respotfor pointing people to it somehow. I say claiming "hackers gave it to me" is much simpler.

There's no need to point it out. Hundreds of hacker scanners are running all the time across the internet looking for unpatched Operating Systems with known exploits. These are automatic by the hackers because the flaws are well documented.
Imagine being told that there is one person in the world that will give you a million dollars cash and the only thing you need to do is ask them to give you the money. Now, imagine you have the phone numbers for every single person. It is trivially easy to set up a computer script that will go through the entire list and send each phone number a txt message asking them to give you the money. You'd start up this process and never have to revisit it except to check ever few weeks if someone responded that they'll give you the money.
This is how the hacker exploit scripts work. So for my example above, if I wanted my Windows XP computer hacked, I just need to leave it unpatched and plug it into the internet without any firewall. The hacking literally takes only 10 minutes for your Windows XP computer to be hacked.

Story time about how much our media sucks:
2007, I was working for a small local television station in Washington state. Governors election between Christine Gregoire and Dino Rossi. Through rummaging around on reddit, I found a lawyer with evidence that Rossi had illegally been accepting large donations from the Master Builders Association.
This was direct from the lawyer and court documents. I printed up copies and put them on every newsies desk, since I was just News Production, and not a "journalist" myself.
I'll never forget our Producer talking to me about it, and how she "hadn't seen anything about it on the AP newswire" so she wasn't sure about it being true. I pointed out these were court documents and asked "have you ever heard of 'breaking a story?'"
We would not run the story until two weeks later, when the story had finally been picked up by the AP newswire... then we finally ran the story. Doing your own research as a journalist? That's outside the job description apparently.
This is up there with when NASA was going to be testing Lunar Rovers two hours away and our journalists were like "isn't that outside of our coverage area?" Still photos of the lunar rover testing were the top story on wired.com internationally for a month afterwards. I guess the whole world was outside of our coverage area.
Anyway, this is the kind of thinking you're working against. Don't break a story, don't go outside your "coverage area." These stories from me are almost 20 years old but I don't expect for the television industry to have gotten smarter since then.
So leaving the documents for them to find can easily result in those documents just getting memory-holed unless they show up on the AP newswire.
That’s crazy she held the whole news station back from being reliable sources just because ap wasn’t running a story. How the hell did they think news breaks sheesh
It's like the opposite of a USB drop attack
The Gaetz of Hell are being pried open. Please pass the nachos.
GaetzGate
Let's hope for more scandals and leaks so we can collectively refer to them as GaetzGates
i hope this will lead to never having the -gate suffix appended to every stupid fucking controversy, but i suspect how little sense it makes is going to completely miss people
I hope it's so bad that it leads to every scandal being suffixed with gaet as a reminder of how much he sucks. Pedogaet.
🙌 Bless
Can we finally see the report? I feel like we are just being teased.
