In a twist that could only be dreamt up by the world’s foremost purveyors of political intrigue, the Iranian regime is reportedly still trying to hack into Donald Trump’s campaign. It seems that the mullahs aren’t content with just their typical antics; they also want a front-row seat to Trump’s plans as he prepares to wrestle his way back into the White House. One must wonder, is there really a more impolite way to be involved in an election than sticking your nose into someone else’s business?
Back in the swinging days of the early 20th century, a fellow by the name of Henry Stimson, who served as Secretary of State during World War I, laid down the law with a little dictum: “Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.” How quaint that sounds today. Fast forward to 2024, and it appears that instead of a hearty handshake, the modern global game involves thieving emails and eavesdropping on phone calls. As if the chaotic landscape of politics needed further distractions, here come the Iranians, with their proverbial hands in the cookie jar.
🚨🚨 FOR THE SECOND TIME!!
Iran has hacked the Trump Campaign again and is sending the information to the media.
Iran is actively interfering in the election to help Harris. Biden and the FBI know this. But, they are doing nothing to stop it.

Allegedly, a certain left-leaning news outlet, run by a former editor known more for his liberal drivel than journalistic integrity, has declined to publish any of the juicy morsels gleaned from the hacks. Their excuse? Apparently, they’ve decided that the hacked materials don’t bring any profoundly thrilling news about Trump or his inner circle. So rather than risk the backlash of releasing eye-rolling information, they’re opting for silence—a tactic reminiscent of a kid trying to ignore the broken vase in the living room.
The specifics of this hacking escapade are a real gem, as one of the clowns involved, known only as “Robert,” allegedly approached this left-wing journalist with a dossier on Ohio’s Senator JD Vance. This dossier was prepared long before Vance was even under consideration to be Trump’s running mate, which raises the question: are Iranians outsmarting Americans by guessing who might be partnered with Trump or are they just toying with mid-level political celebrities?
It’s particularly curious that outlets which greedily latched onto any probing related to the Hillary Clinton email fiasco are now pretending these Trump email hacks don’t exist. One can only speculate what ethical gymnastics might be at play. After all, the Washington Post saw no problem crafting narratives around information that was clearly obtained through illicit means in the past, yet now, they want to sit this dance out and ponder whether the leaks are truly “newsworthy.”
As the curtain rises on yet another wild campaign season, one thing remains clear: Trump and his team are going to need to tighten up their cybersecurity game if they don’t want to play host to the latest Iranian thriller. Meanwhile, should the hacks continue, the media’s reticence may very well turn into celebrated headlines, showcasing their typical flip-flopping on journalistic integrity. It’ll be interesting to see how the dynamics play out as the race heats up.
