Macron says campaign emails were HACKED and leaked to influence French election!

by SooperMexican

According to the globalist socialist candidate in the French election, Macron, his campaign has been the victim of a massive hacking operation intending to toss the election to the nationalist socialist, Marine Le Pen.

From Reuters:

A large trove of emails from the campaign of French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron was posted online late on Friday, 1-1/2 days before voters go to the polls to choose the country’s next president in a run-off against far-right rival Marine Le Pen.

Some nine gigabytes of data were posted by a user called EMLEAKS to Pastebin, a document-sharing site that allows anonymous posting. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for posting the data or if any of them were genuine.

In a statement, Macron’s political movement En Marche! (Onwards!) confirmed that it had been hacked.

“The En Marche! Movement has been the victim of a massive and co-ordinated hack this evening which has given rise to the diffusion on social media of various internal information,” the statement said.

An interior ministry official declined to comment, citing French rules which forbid any commentary liable to influence an election, and which took effect at midnight French time on Friday (2200 GMT).

Well. That’s crazy.

It’s said that polls showed Marine Le Pen losing to Macron, but I can’t imagine that Russian-hacked emails from a candidate in a presidential election might swing it towards a pro-Putin candidate. That’s just beyond my imagining!!!
