The Vigilante Faking WikiLeaks Docs to Dupe Trump Trolls
The Vigilante Faking WikiLeaks Docs to Dupe Trump Trolls
An expense report that shows Hillary giving money to the “Sharia Law Center” should be too stupid to believe. But it somehow wasn't. Meet the man who made it—and is baffled high-profile people fell for it.

If you’re not paying attention, it looks like a smoking gun—a leaked expense report tying Hillary Clinton to media’s most powerful groups.
The numbers from the supposedly leaked document—printed out and marked up with a highlighter, for good measure—are damning: $75,000 directly from the Clinton Foundation to polling firm Public Policy Polling. Over $333,000 sent, somehow, to the Black Panthers. Then the kicker: $30,000 to the “Sharia Law Center.”
Of course, the whole thing is totally fake. The header for the page, called “Voter Suppression,” probably should’ve given it right away. But for Trump supporters on Twitter and Facebook, a Fox News contributor, and even radio hosts like Hal Turner, it is still very much real to them.
Chris from Massachusetts (who declined to give his last name) got ‘em again. He’s spent all week trying to assuage anyone responding to his tweet with doubts about the paper’s veracity that it is the truest Wikileak of all.
