Trump’s 270-Page Dossier of JD Vance’s ‘Vulnerabilities’ Hacked by Iran

Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.

The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.

They got it through a fucking phishing email
HAHAHAHAHA
- Vance clicked on a link for hot CILFs in his area.
  
  JD Vance pays for pictures of dirty couches when craigslist exists smh
  
  Wait, just to be clear, does the C stand for Couches or Cetaceans?
  
  CILF omg that is delicioso
- This is what most hacking is.
  
  Social engineering is the greatest skill a hacker can have
- I bet it was Eric. He seems dumb enough to fall for that.
  
  Probably a fake OnlyFans link. “Oh I better pay my Onlyfans “invoice.doc” “
- Is it really that farfetched to think that the people working for the Trump campaign are dumb enough to fall for a phishing email?
- Time to add another item to the vulnerabilities list
The real story is not that Trump had a novel length document of everything wrong with Vance (we know he's basically what you get if Oogy Boogy was filled with empty vapes and paternal disappointment instead of just bugs). No, the real story is that Trump picked him anyway.
- It’s not some big complex conspiracy.
  He picked him to guarantee friendly financial backing.
  Everyone knows 🪗-hands isn’t a real billionaire… so anyone who is that also offers him some cash can buy their way in. It’s how he’s always done “business.”
  
  Repubs are utterly corrupt.
  
  Maybe the conspiracy has something to do with why Thiel and Musk and others want Trump for president.
- As others have noted Peter Thiel money might have influenced the choice. Given Vance's relationship to Project 2025 (he wrote the foreword to Kevin Roberts's book, remember^[1]) it's also possible he was a strongly pushed Heritage Foundation plant - put in place to ensure the flailing incoherent mess that is Trump's mind is actually implementing Project 2025 properly when elected.
- Was it just a copy of Hillbilly Elegy?
- Vance had one job - do what Pence wouldn't on Jan 6th.
  Then, back in the fucking box.
  
  Word!
- Trump can’t read so the briefing they gave him was all pictures
  
  He was confused at seeing the Lovesac catalogue and said "sure! I already have a pillow guy!"
  
  Not enough of him or Ivanka clones so he just dozed off and farted
- Tbf all the other candidates are also republicans. I'd pay just to find out how big the dossier of the alternatives would get.
- But also opposition research is actually normal and prudent. Losing it is obviously not. But do we actually know how damaging the info is?
- Pretty sure a vetting document would have both negatives and positives, right?
  
  Correct
- It's my understanding that the length is fairly normal. The vetting process for VP is very intense and thorough. They will go through every tiny aspect of your entire life if they're doing their job well.
Democrats also revealed that they were hacked. Iranians downloaded 2.3 terabytes of photos of Tim Walz hugging puppies. Secret documents as well. High School football plays and an old family tater-tot-hot-dish recipe.
- Anyone got that tater tot recipe leak?
  
  Turns out, he shared a tater tot recipe recently. Either it's a coincidence or this thread OP is the mole.
  
  Come on guys, it's nearly been an hour, we're starving here.
- I honestly don't know which I'm more upset about... the play book is one thing... but Meemaw's hot dish recipe is sacred dammit
- putin got a copy of it and is examining it for inventing new methods of tort.... cutenessless?
  
  Clearly the football plays would assist Putins military commanders more than they seem to be able to manage on their own 🥸
- Iran should mind their own damn business.
  
  They're so weird
- I seriously hope you guys don’t actually believe that a member of political class being pushed for position of power is a good person.
  
  Yeah, we all know that high school teaching attracts the scummiest people. The "political class" (whatever that is) loves toiling away for no money and no status.
The most shocking part about this is that Trump's team vetted JD Vance.
- To be fair, compared to Trump, nobody looks that problematic.
- The vetting concluded after a Bing search result.
- I think that actually checks out. For mob bosses like Trump it's not good if people are too clean. It means they could turn on them in the future. Problematic past is leverage and that means loyalty. How severe problems do you have to have to stay loyal to Trump longterm?
- I mean does trump even know how to read?
foreign sources hostile to the United States
Anybody who wants to stop Trump should at least be considered a temporary ally.
- Amidst a sea of Russian bots and trolls shilling for Jill Stein at the hour of need an unlikely force stepped out to bat for democracy: Iran. Partly out of spite it seems - which given Trump is the target can only be described as poetic.
  
  It would be sweet if Iran became cool again. Old Iran looked like a somewhat good time.
- Yeah I’m having a hard time feeling negative about Iran doing this when we know what Russia is up to. At least it levels the playing field a bit. Feels icky though!
  Obligatory VOTE
- There's no evidence for that yet either though. It's just Trump claiming it.
Iran if you're listening, we would love to see those RNC emails that were floating around.
- I read this online, and nobody has been able to provide entire proof to the contrary!
  
  Now now. As far as we know, he's only into consenting adult men.
- And that Road Runner movie.
Good for Iran for getting some measure of revenge. It was atrocious of Trump to break the Iran nuclear deal. The US defines sanctions or economic warfare as "acts of war" which is unjustified towards Iran.
Even though US intelligence services said Iran isn't developing a nuclear weapon, these sanctions and the deal was done to prevent them from developing. This is fundamentally undemocratic behavior because without a modicum of prosperity a country isn't likely to become more open or democratic. All to support Saudi Arabia (who are worse than Iran) and the exploitation of natural resources in the region.
100% "Robert" is that persona trump does when he calls media and pretends he's his own press agent. This is trump trying to ditch vance without just coming out and saying that he picked a couch fucker
There's something delightful about the trump campaign complaining about foreign interference, which clearly should only be allowed by Russia.
This is Trump throwing Vance under the bus to find a new VP
According to the Politico article I read the only group saying it's Iran is the Trump campaign. Can we not give them free exposure?
- Yeah I have doubts Iran would release to Politico and Washington Post first
  
  That would be the move if they think they're about to be carpet bombed by Israel with American weapons under Trump.
- Exactly. This headline is inaccurate garbage. It should be something like "Trump blames Iran" + preferably "without evidence"
“Mr. Trump, the buttery males are coming from INSIDE the campaign!”
Not so funny when it’s you, is it
Come on let’s talk about how foreign nations shouldn’t be interfering in US elections
And about how the “Persians” chumped the Obama administration on the nuclear deal until you got the best of them and now they fear and respect you and only you
You nincompoops
So now trump will dump Vance. Who’s next lol
- While I won’t say he won’t dump him, it would definitely make him look weak. I mean, Trump picked him and he dumps him as soon as he has problems and he picked a bad candidate? That just screams poor leadership and weak. Plus the RNC already happened, and with as much as they bitched about switching the dem candidate… although Republicans aren’t exactly famous for doing as they say…
  
  Yea, the Trump response is often to foolishly double-down, he did last week on Kamala turning Black. I don’t see him being able to admit he was wrong about Vance, he’ll probably double-down again.
  
  Idk, practically everything he's done for 8 years now has screamed poor leadership and weakness to me but his cult keeps eating it up ..
  
  I mean, Trump picked him and he dumps him as soon as he has problems and he picked a bad candidate? That just screams poor leadership and weak.
  That was the Trump administration in a nutshell. I wonder how many Scaramuccis Vance will last.
  
  He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He’s just done.
  
  Trump wouldn't do it himself, he'd have Vance step down.
- Doubt it. Foreign countries having leverage over you is basically the hallmark of trumps presidential position.
- Can he though? Aren’t the ballots more or less fixed now? Didn’t he win the republican primary?
  
  Oh, is it against the rules? Yeah, Trump probably won't try to do it then.
- Wasn't Vance duly elected at the Republican convention? Could trump unilaterally kick him out?
Tbh if this was a foreign source, I’d say the actions so far are friendly to the United States.
this is how we find out the couch joke was actually serious?
- There’s a couch tape?!?
  
  Lordy, there's a couch tape!
- Given just how absolutely fucked this timeline is?
  If it is mentioned in there that he did, and it's completely pure coincidence that the meme started, I don't know how I'd process it. I feel like it would be that episode of South Park where Erik breaks his funny bone
  
  “Fucked timeline”
  “South Park”

I can't believe they've modeled the Trump 2024 campaign after Hillary 2016 campaign.
Next up: "Vote Vance 2024, its his turn"
Edit: I completely forgot that Rogan, Tim Pool, and Kyle Rittenhouse were all vote shamed to publicly endorse Donald Trump in line with the 'celebrity resume' strategy of Hillary Clinton.
"So, there are pictures here of you strangling a woman to death while laughing..."
"THAT PHOTOGRAPHER IS A MENACE!!! THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT OUT FOR ME!!!!"
Iranian Phisher weeks ago: "Wow, this guy fucked a couch..."
I hope the files will surface to the public soon.
What's the big deal? Just go to Home Depot and tear off the furniture section of their catalog. Most of its already there.
Does anyone have it? For download?
- Sure
  
  This slander against JDV will not stand! There is absolutely no evidence that he fornicated with either a table, a chair, or even a shapely credenza. Other than couches, sofas, divans, settees, daybeds, davenports, chesterfields, ottomans, and chaises longue, I won't hear a single thing spoken against the giant weirdo.
  OK maybe I could be persuaded to change my mind about the aptly named love seats, but anything beyond that is simply a bridge too far!
  
  Lmfao brilliant
  
  the dossier is a catalog
Binders full of sofas.
- The dossier is probably just one of those binders full of upholstery samples.
- Wow throwback Romney reference
I garauntee you that all this was leaked by one of the thousands of folks that thought they were going to be paid and weren't.
The document was sent to Politico from an AOL.com account with the name "Robert" lmao
Why is politico talking "around" the documents? Are they releasing or consider release?
bUt hiS eMAiLs
Iran, if you're listening.....
270 pages? Did each page have a single capital letter and a colorful picture of trump?
- It's 270 pages of "A is for Asshole" superimposed over his face.
Release it. Release it all. Let the public decide.
I want proof it was iran, headline said it was, but then first sentence says allegedly
- https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/08/08/iran-targeting-2024-us-election/
  Apparently the Trump campaign was the campaign that Microsoft referenced here.
  
  Yeah, but nothing there attributes that hack. They also reference right hacking groups, so...
Hey, anybody remember the scandal around Dubya's Texas Air National Guard record? Somebody leaked a document to Dan Rather, and the Bush campaign even acknowledged that the information in it was 100% accurate. But it wasn't the original document. Forensic analysis showed that it had been re-created in MS Word.
Then, the Bushies made it all about the forgery, which cost Rather his job, and sent the damaging information about Bush down the memory hole.
Remember that? I'm not saying that the DonOld's campaign is pulling that trick, but IRAN IRAN IRAN!!!1!
When do we get to see the pregnant couch ultra sounds?
Has Politico published what is in it?
His biggest weakness
- I knew it was a couch. I clicked it anyhow. I was not disappointed.
I'm going to go ahead and wait until the FBI finishes their investigation before I believe a word that shit bird's campaign says about who is responsible for this.
LOCK HIM UP!
Mueller finally released his report!
You mean friendly to the United States.
Ironic, funny and juicy.
