The Kremlin’s Ingenious Plan to Hack the Election, Revealed

Here’s how the KGB orchestrated Hillary Clinton’s defeat. I just got off the phone with my secret source, deep inside the Kremlin. Using my command of highly limited tourist Russian, I spoke with Comrade Leonid Stalinov Leninksy. (Oops! I think I just outed him.) In a worldwide-exclusive interview, Leninsky explained to me how hackers controlled by Russian intelligence orchestrated the defeat of Hillary Clinton and the election of Donald J. Trump as the next president of the United States.

Their plan was truly ingenious:

Anticipating that Clinton would run for president in 2016, these very far-sighted Russians hacked the State Department’s operation center. They tampered with the January 2009 work order for a new computer server in the office of the secretary of state. These covert operatives in Moscow changed the instructions from “Please install in Secretary Clinton’s seventh-floor office” to “Please install in basement of Secretary Clinton’s Chappaqua, N.Y., home.” Thus, that pesky server wound up in Clinton’s cellar. Little did she know this would explode into the Servergate scandal.

On the evening of September 11, 2012, Russian hackers infiltrated the information system at the State Department’s Office of Public Affairs. They digitally doctored a press release that correctly blamed the al-Qaeda–linked Islamic terrorists of Ansar al-Sharia for the then-unfolding, deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The Russians rewrote the 10:32 p.m. EST communique to call “this vicious behavior” a “response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.” This forced Clinton’s hand. Not wanting to send contradictory signals by revealing the truth, she stuck with that false “the video did it” narrative for years.

The men from Moscow hacked into Clinton’s teleprompter last September 9. In a fundraising speech that she delivered to donors at Cipriani restaurant, literally on Wall Street, her original reference to half of Trump’s supporters as “hard-working Americans thirsty for economic growth and tired of being lectured to by condescending, out-of-touch elites in Washington” disappeared. Instead, Clinton was amazed to find herself calling them a “basket of deplorables.” She was as stunned as anyone to find her lips forming the words “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”
