Colin Powell's Hacked Emails: Donald Trump Is "An International Pariah"

Colin Powell

It appears email hacking continues to be the latest rage in this crazy election.

Today, we hear that hacking site DCleaks.com has released two years worth of former Secretary of State Colin Powell's private emails. Among the more interesting communications are those that refer to Donald Trump as a "national disgrace" and Republicans’ Benghazi investigations as a "witch hunt."

Via Vox:

Powell has privately denounced Republican nominee Donald Trump in remarkably strong terms. "Trump is a national disgrace and an international pariah," Powell wrote in an email this June, as BuzzFeed News first reported. The email was sent to a journalist who had previously worked for Powell.

In another email, Powell wrote that Trump "appeals to the worst angels of the GOP nature and poor white folks," according to CNN. And elsewhere, he wrote that "the whole birther movement" — headed by Trump — "was racist."

Powell also had a similarly strongly worded dismissal of Republicans’ obsession with investigating the Benghazi attacks, and suggested the blame should fall on the late ambassador Chris Stevens for not taking his own security seriously enough. "Benghazi is a stupid witch hunt," he wrote in a December 2015 email to Condoleezza Rice, again according to BuzzFeed News. "Basic fault falls on a courageous ambassador who thoughts [sic] Libyans now love me and I am ok in this very vulnerable place."

Powell told NBC News that the emails are indeed real, adding, "The hackers have a lot more."

DCLeaks has been previously been alleged to have ties to Russian intelligence.

Did Josh Duggar Have TWO Ashley Madison Accounts?


So many folks are talking about the recent hacking and dumping of data from the online cheaters website Ashley Madison.

One of the factoids of note today was that there were over 15,000 military or government email accounts in the database.

But HERE's the really delicious news that could really get you over Hump Day.

As we all know by now, Josh Duggar (of 19 Kids and Counting fame) was revealed to have had a problem inappropriately touching little girls about 10-12 year ago when he was a teen. Some of those little girls included some of his sisters.

That would be the same guy who has railed against the evil gays and campaigned against our civil rights.

Since the revelations, his family's TV series has been cancelled and Josh has issued public statements apologizing for behavior from long-ago.

However, the folks at Gawker found that Josh's very "conservative" and "deeply religious" leanings that he proclaims so loudly may not be all THAT conservative. They went through the data and found something very interesting.

Take it away Gawker:

But data released online in the wake of the hack on Ashley Madison’s servers certainly seems to show otherwise. Someone using a credit card belonging to a Joshua J. Duggar, with a billing address that matches the home in Fayetteville, Arkansas owned by his grandmother Mary — a home that was consistently shown on their now-cancelled TV show, and in which Anna Duggar gave birth to her first child—paid a total of $986.76 for two different monthly Ashley Madison subscriptions from February of 2013 until May of 2015.

According to the data, Josh Duggar was paying Ashley Madison in order to find an extramarital partner for the following acts:

“Conventional Sex,” Experimenting with Sex Toys,” One-Night Stands,” “Open to Experimentation,” “Gentleness,” “Good With Your Hands,” Sensual Massage,” “Extended Foreplay/Teasing,” “Bubble Bath for 2,” “Likes to Give Oral Sex,” “Likes to Receive Oral Sex,” “Someone I Can Teach,” “Someone Who Can Teach Me,” “Kissing,” “Cuddling & Hugging,” “Sharing Fantasies,” “Sex Talk.”

And here are the turn-ons that he offered up in service of finding a compatible person other than his wife with which to engage in those acts:

“A Professional/Well Groomed,” “Stylish/Classy,” “Casual Jeans/T-shirt Type,” “Muscular/Fit Body,” ”Petite Figure,” “Tall Height,” “Short Height,” “Long Hair,””Short Hair,” “Girl Next Door,” “Naughty Girl,” “Sense of Humor,” “Imagination,” “Creative and Adventurous,” “Relaxed and Easy Going,” “Aggressive/Take Charge Nature,” “Confidence,” “Discretion/Secrecy,” “A Good Listener,” “Good Personal Hygiene,” “Average Sex Drive,” “High Sex Drive,” “Dislikes Routine,” “Has a Secret Love Nest,” “Disease Free,” “Drug Free,” and “Natural Breasts.”

Among other bits of fact that make this "Joshua J. Duggar" probably the now-infamous "Josh Duggar" is that the second of the accounts was cancelled in May of 2015.

That would be about, oh, I don't know, around the time his troubles became famous?

The hypocrisy! It burns! It burns!

In related news, former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle saves Duggar from being the ickiest sexual predator revealed today after pleading guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography that he knew had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, federal prosecutors said in court documents released Wednesday.

Fogle faces between 5 - 12.5 years in prison and must pay $100K to each of his 14 victims.

So, hey Josh, send a 'thank you' to Jared for helping you not be the creepiest guy in the news today!
