Congressional Candidate asked Guccifer 2.0 for documents. The GOP was in on it.

[tinrobot]

I'm reading through the indictment and there it is... on pages 15/6

a. On or about August 15, 2016, the Conspirators, Posing as Guccifer 2.0, received a request for documents from a candidate for the US Congress....

Fucking traitors. That candidate needs to be indicted along with everyone else.

Here's a link to the indictment if you want to read for yourself

1. My guess is Dana Rohrabacher is the candidate.

The Republican party has been committing treason, which explains their behavior at the Strzok hearing.

2. Or Devin Nunes.

The Post's Adam Entous discusses a 2016 conversation between GOP leaders in which House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made an explosive claim about Donald Trump. (The Washington Post)

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy's assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

3. One thread I saw included people confident it was Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida.

Considering how there are so many suspects, it is truly damning how corrupt and treasonous the Republican Party is.

[gratuitous]

6. That seems to be correct

Note that the indictment identifies the person as a candidate, not a member of Congress. Rohrabacher, Nunes, and the other names bandied about were all sitting members of Congress in 2016. Mast was first elected in 2016, and therefore only a candidate at the time specified.

12. That would result in an automatic expulsion from the House by any other Congress except this one.

We are fucked as a country if Dems do not win back at least one chamber of Congress in November.

8. Krassenstein's take on this:

Guccifer 2.0 Gave Congressional Candidate ‘Stolen Documents’ on Opponent At Their Request

Buried in today’s indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for their role in hacking the DNC and Clinton campaign, is a small paragraph which clearly implicates a 2016 Congressional candidate. According to pages 15 and 16 of today’s federal indictment, a candidate for Congress sought out Guccifer 2.0 in order to obtain stolen documents on his/her opponent.

“On or about August 15, 2016, the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the US Congress. The Conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate’s opponent,” reads an excerpt from the court filing.

Connecting the dots, one can assume that the candidate seeking and receiving the “stolen documents’ was a member of the Republican party, considering the fact that the Mueller investigation has only indicated that Guccifer 2.0 released stolen material from the DNC and Clinton Campaign. With that said, there is a chance this information may have been used during the primaries between same-party candidates as well, but with primaries almost over in most states by the August 15 date cited in the indictment, this seems less likely.

The implications of such an allegation means that there is a chance that this individual is currently serving in Congress for the GOP, and if so he/she would certainly be compromised. It is, however, irresponsible to speculate on who this individual may have been, at this time

9. Again, I'd consider Tim Canova.

Challenged DWS in a primary, would have tried to have benefited from the leaked emails around the convention, went on far right radio shows like Joyce Kaufman, ended up quitting the party, openly defended Russia and bashed the Mueller investigation, and has since spread Seth Rich conspiracy theories.

Using him as a wedge in the Democratic Party to depress turnout (especially in a Democrat friendly area like Broward County) fits the Russian M.O. to a T.
