Lisa Bloom says her law firm's website was attacked today, and Anonymous claims responsibility.


Bloom is the attorney who cancelled a press conference today, which she had set up for her client, the woman who is claiming Trump raped her at 13. Bloom says the woman became too fearful after receiving threats.

Remember when we thought they and WikiLeaks were the two great bastions of freedom? Next thing you know, we'll find out Occupy Wall Street has become an alt-right organization.

I was suspicious of Wikileaks because their leaks never affected Russia. And I never trusted Anonymous's motives either.

This was probably someone with a secret server connected to Russia and capable of hacking the DNC.

especially when going up against a man supported by such ravenous loons as trump. you just privately announce it to those you trust who need to know, then let the thugs stew in their anger after the fact.

And that video then should be broadcast. Keep the victim safe and away from the media, except through Skype.

So why would they try to repress this?

Doesn't make sense to me. If it's trolls, I hope Anonymous kicks their ass somehow.

If so, you may really be on to something here.

Is Julian Assange really in the Equadorian embassy? Or is he...Donald Trump?!?

(Cue dramatic music)

Remember why Assange is (supposedly) hiding out there...sexual assault. Just sayin'.

The reality is Anomymous isn't a homogounus group. Some of those who ally with them aren't like us here. Some are, that's true, but they're a mixed bag that also sports quite a few anarchist in their midst.
