The FBI is confirming tonight that they are investigating a hacking attempt allegedly by Iran

against the presidential campaigns of both major parties.

Now news of this first broke over the weekend when first political then the Washington Post reported

that they had each been offered documents that appeared to be internal, somewhat sensitive,

non-public facing documents from inside Donald Trump's campaign.

Politico described what they were offered as including a dossier essentially on Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, what the outlet described as a preliminary version of Vance's vetting file.

Two sources told Politico that the documents they were offered were authentic, meaning they were legitimate

documents somehow taken from inside the Trump campaign. Then the Washington

Post soon reported that they too had been shop stuff, at least that that seemed like it was

coming from inside the Trump campaign and might have included some of the same materials.

Now with those two reports out there this weekend the Trump campaign went

ballistic insisting among other things that no news media should report on the

content of these hacked these leaked documents that a foreign adversary had done this and nobody in America

should do the bidding of that foreign adversary by reporting on the content of those materials.

And to be fair, that is fair.

I mean, this is reportedly a foreign adversary who is doing this,

and Lord knows why, but it's not for a good reason it is to hurt us as a country and

our elections are our business foreign interference in any American election is bad

and every American and certainly every American campaign should not only be against it, they should insist that no one try to benefit from this, that no one try to engage with this kind of thing at all that nobody invite this, praise it,

reference what has been taken in this kind of a campaign campaign.

I mean the Trump campaign is insisting that nobody should do that which for them is awkward.

Now this just came out. This just came out.
