I heard a rumor that Glen Beck & the Mormonati would attempt a Mittens spoiler run, forcing the presidential decision to go to Congress.

The only thing, and I mean the absolute ONLY thing that could make this any better is if Trump really WAS a secret liberal and ran an ironic campaign and then set about tanking once he got the nomination to throw it to HIllary.

That was an extreme longshot to begin with, but now with that video it's impossible.

Wait I thought they didn't betray him as a source, but when it came out he was the source they reported on it as any newspaper would and editorial was not on his side.

That's doing entirely too much. Just use a VPN that doesn't keep records in Europe, upload to the WaPo server.

I'm betting dollars to donuts the file is sitting on a windows share, and windows doesn't keep logs of files copied natively, and seeing some of the data center solutions for TV networks and tv shows, its a snowballs chance in hell they have any real DLP solutions.

Mark Burnett Pursuing Vladimir Putin as Next Reality TV Star

The superproducer behind 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' wants to create "a series of shows from the eyes of leaders of nations." Following Putin? Fidel Castro.

Mark Burnett can see Russia from his office.

The reality TV superproducer behind the TLC hit Sarah Palin's Alaska -- along with NBC stalwart The Voice, CBS' Survivor and ABC's Shark Tank, among others -- has his eye on a series that would go inside the world of global government leaders. First on his wish list: Russia's Vladimir Putin. If all goes as he hopes, others, including Cuba's Fidel Castro, would follow.

"I want this to be a series of shows from the eyes of leaders of nations about their countries," Burnett, 54, tells THR, "not through the lens of a news organization."

Burnett, who with wife Roma Downey has become a top scripted TV producer in addition to his reality empire, cites Palin's Alaska, which shattered TLC records when it premiered to 5 million viewers in late 2010, as an example of what he would like to do. Rather than focus on the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate's political life, the docuseries showcased her personal experiences in Alaska: ice trekking, salmon fishing, baking for her children. In promoting the series, Burnett noted consistently how disinterested he is in politics. (He might need to begin caring because his host on NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump, declared June 16 that he is running for president, prompting a statement from the network that it is "reevaluating" his role on the long-running franchise.)

Seeing Russia through its controversial president's eyes has Burnett so excited, he already has reached out to Putin, 62, a noted outdoorsman and former KGB officer. He says he emphasized his show would be devoid of armies and politics; rather, it would focus on "the humans, the nature, the animals of the nation." When it is suggested the Russian leader probably would ignore such a request, Burnett, who recently wrapped filming a Ben-Hur remake in Rome, cracks a smile: "How do you know that? I would think I could probably get through to most people."

So, if he did get through, what was the reaction? Responds Burnett coyly, "No comment."

It didn't "come out", as soon as someone said they wanted to congratulate who leaked the info, Snowden ran as fast as he could to the nearest camera.
I think OP means betray in the sense of not saying he should be locked up for what he did because you found him useful.

hillary is going to cheat yet again and the media is going to allow it. what else to do?

Every person, each of us must decide what is a bridge too far.

Mike Lee has obviously reached that point, where the moral compromise his party is asking him to make is simply beyond what is acceptable.

It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity.

If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice.

For everyone predicting the end of the republican party, that's going to be a long drawn out process that is only just starting. First Hillary has to win the presidency, then she has to get a liberal supreme court nominee confirmed, then the court has to hear a case on gerrymandering and rule it unconstitutional, at the same time the dems and Hillary have to give a poo poo, grow some balls, and make a huge push against gerrymandering, then dems retake power in a bunch of state legislatures, then dems get a lock on the senate and the house, then the republican party dies. While all this is going on Hillary has to prevent infighting withing the various democratic power blocks that are no longer held together by having a powerful common enemy. Expect the republicans to stay strong and poo poo on Hillary all thru her first term. The gerrymandering thing is critical to saving this country. It is the most important issue along with overturning citizens united, and Hillarys main contribution to this country might be her supreme court pick that will allow those issues to be resolved.

She has now gone missing and has not been heard from in 5 days, repeatedly missing scheduled calls to supporters.
