Aug. 12: Guccifer 2.0
releases the
cellphone numbers and email addresses of almost all of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives, apparently with documents stolen from the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The digital security firm ThreatConnect
announces
that day that another site posting leaked documents, DC Leaks, appears
to be linked to Russian intelligence services. The site’s documents
also mostly targeted Democrats, but it also had emails stolen from
campaign staffers for noted Russia hawks GOP Sens. John McCain and
Lindsey Graham.
Oct. 4: Julian
Assange
makes a 3 a.m. EST announcement via video saying WikiLeaks will publish
new information on the presidential election “every week for the next
10 weeks.”
Oct. 7: WikiLeaks
dumped a trove
of emails hacked from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal
email account. The release came just hours after a tape emerged in
which Trump bragged about groping women by the genitals. The emails
were widely covered in the American media, and the Republican National
Committee touted them as evidence of “who Hillary Clinton really is.”
The Obama administration
accuses Russia
of deploying hackers to interfere in the presidential election. A
statement from Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, says
hacked documents posted on DC Leaks, Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks appear
linked to Russian intelligence and accuses “Russia’s senior-most
officials” of directing the hacks.
Oct. 9: Trump cites
WikiLeaks in the second presidential debate to accuse the DNC of
rigging the Democratic primary against Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton is
also asked at the debate about purported excerpts from a paid speech
she gave released by WikiLeaks.
Clinton responds, in part: “But, you know, let’s talk about what’s
really going on here, Martha, because our intelligence community just
came out and said in the last few days that the Kremlin, meaning Putin
and the Russian government, are directing the attacks, the hacking on
American accounts to influence our election. And WikiLeaks is part of
that, as are other sites where the Russians hack information, we don’t
even know if it’s accurate information, and then they put it out.
Oct. 10: “I love
WikiLeaks,” Trump says at a Pennsylvania rally. He specifically cites
some of the hacked emails to attack Clinton.
Oct. 11: Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta warns there may be a tie between the
Trump campaign and WikiLeaks.
“I think it’s a reasonable assumption to — or at least a reasonable
conclusion — that Mr. Stone had advance warning and the Trump campaign
had advance warning about what Assange was going to do,” Podesta
tells
reporters, referencing Trump friend and ally Roger Stone.
Oct. 31: The New
York Times publishes
a story with the headline, “Investigating Donald Trump,
F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link To Russia.”
Nov. 8: Trump is
elected President of the United States.
