Damage Control Scramble by Democrats

If the lies don't catch up to you, the hackers will.

The way things are going for the Democrats their world may completely unravel by the time November rolls around.  Even their allies in the mainstream media are beginning to get a little nervous.  The truth is getting out, largely because of "hackers".  What conservatives have always said about the Democrats is getting out there, confirming the ugly truth.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been hit with calls and messages due to another hack job, calling them "obscene and sick."  Her phone number, along with other DNC officials, was posted online after a hacking.

To make her that disgusted, it must've been someone on the other end of the line saying things like, "Liberty.  Freedom.  Limited Government.  U.S. Constitution.  State Sovereignty.  Honesty.  Integrity.  Ethics."

Pelosi called it an electronic "Watergate break-in" seeking personal and official information of Democratic House members and congressional staff.

Watergate?  That's one way to try to connect it to those mean ol' Republicans.

Information is beginning to be posted online, and the Democrats are not liking it. . . especially with it going on as we approach the 2016 November Election.

A hacker who calls himself Guccifer 2.0 took credit for posting the information Friday night.

He had claimed responsibility for the recent hack of Democratic National Committee emails, which roiled the Democratic National Convention last month.

Pelosi said she was flying from Florida to California when she heard about the posting of information such as cell phone numbers

"Upon landing, I have received scores of mostly obscene and sick calls, voicemails and text messages," Pelosi said in her letter to colleagues. "Please be careful not to allow your children or family members to answer your phone or read incoming text messages. This morning, I am changing my phone number and I advise you to do so as well."

Last month's release of DNC email info led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Guccifer says he plans to release more information, this time through Wikileaks.  The Democrats are scrambling like mad trying to figure out what the hacker got his hands on.

Stay tuned.  The next release may be a doozy.
