Iran Strikes Back At Trump With Embarrassing New Threat

In response to Donald Trump’s attack on Iran, a group of Iranian hackers that got into Trump’s campaign emails last year is now threatening to make those communications public. The group had initially declined to make the material public after Trump won the election, but they have since changed their tune since he bombed their country. The administration is already freaking out about this prospect, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Back during the presidential campaign of 2024, we know that a group of hackers from Iran managed to get into Donald Trump's campaign email system. They got emails from Roger Stone, from Susie Wiles. Uh, there's one email that apparently is from Donald Trump's team to Robert F. Kennedy Jr's lawyers, which, uh, talked about a financial arrangement that has not yet been made public. So there's lots of very, there's emails, uh, regarding Stormy Daniels and that loss. There are so many emails that these Iranian hackers have over a hundred gigabytes of email's. A lot of emails. But when Trump won the 2024 election, these hackers said, okay, you know what, uh, we're not looking to start a fight. So we're, we're not gonna release the emails with this hacking group. That, of course, is not associated with the, uh, Iranian government as far as we know, at least what they claim the Iranian government claims it.

So on Monday, this group of Iranian hackers reached out to Reuters and said, listen up. I don't know if you know this, I'm paraphrasing, but, uh, something changed recently with the Trump administration. You know, they bombed our country because of that. We were considering giving you this big batch of 100 gigabytes worth of Donald Trump's emails to expose him, to embarrass him, and to show everybody in this country the giant mistake that they made. Now, to that, I say, what have you been waiting for? Why do we not already have this? I am totally 100% okay. If you guys want to just release those emails, I, I think the public needs to know. Sounds like there's some pretty juicy potentially criminal things happening in there. So go ahead, have at it. Let us know what is in those emails. The White House, the Trump administration has already responded 'cause they're freaked out and I love their response. 'cause it's the dumbest thing in the world. This comes from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Um, always great to have the same word twice in your title. That totally helps things, right? Uh, but anyway, the statement that they released says this, A hostile foreign adversary is threatening to illegally exploit, purportedly stolen and unverified material in an effort to distract, discredit, and divide.

Yes. Because up until the threat of the release of these emails, America was one big united country where everybody got along, right? We, we didn't have any disagreements. Um, the Republican Party has essentially been going through its own civil war over this budget bill. And there, you know, and that doesn't even include the divisions between the left and the right. And the Trump administration is like, oh no, we're all so together. We're, we're not divided at all. Please don't release those emails. They just want you to hate each other. No, this isn't going to affect how I feel about any other people on the planet other than those serving in the Trump administration. It is not going to further divide anyone. It is not a distraction. It is something that we need to see. So, Iranian hackers, you got the stuff. Go ahead and let it fly.
