Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Dog Gone has picked up the DNC chanting point that not only did the Russians steal the DNC’s email, it altered the messages before releasing them, all in an effort to help Trump get elected.
There’s a simple way to prove it, made famous by Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs to prove Dan Rather’s “fake-but-accurate” documents were not accurate at all, only fake.
Show us the emails side-by-side.
Let’s see Rebecca Christopher’s original “taco-bowl” email, for starters.

I’m sure there’ll be no problem getting the DNC to cooperate with this. Will there?
Dog Gone: One of your anonymous but unimpeachably-expert neighbors is tight with the DNC, right? Make it happen!
That blithering idiot it the only one I’ve seen make that suggestion. Wasserstein-Shrump wasn’t even stupid enough to try it; she just slithered off under Clinton’s leathery wing.
Since DG has likely been neck-deep in papers in the newsroom for three days now, investigating the supposed connections between Trump & the Russians, and the “altered” DNC emails, she probably hasn’t seen our questioning of her claims from yesterday. Maybe she can read and respond to those before spending her precious time away from the “newsroom” writing her Tolstoy-length screed?
When Hillary sent all official Secretary of State communications on her private email server, then deleted 30,000 of those messages, she did not act carelessly by allowing the Russians to steal them. Not at all.
She simply out-sourced Records Retention to the Soviet servers.
And there is no need to hire State Department employees to spend the next 70 years analyzing her emails to see if classified information useful to the Russians was leaked; the Russians are doing that right now, for free.
It’s all about business efficiency, you see.
Maybe Russia just wants to get Bernie elected, he could go down as their most famous honeymooner. Weren’t we told that those emails are only about yoga schedules and Chelsea’s wedding plans?
JD, priceless!

If they said so, it must be true, no? Demoncrats would never lie, or obfuscate, or redirect or cover up. Never! It is the most open, transparent and ethical party, evah!
well here’s the answer. After releasing some of the emails and a taste of the voicemails, Obama decided to pay the ransom request. Here’s the first installment:

Looks like one guy had all of his vmail sent to himself via Email (?) Or maybe people don’t leave voice mail very often.
I don’t think this is new; the voicemail messages are part of the Email dump:

Emery, that means that the phone systems are internet-enabled, nothing more. Scary concept, though, when one considers the internet might be out when you need to call 911. Hello cell phones, hope the building isn’t a Faraday cage!
Joe Doakes: too true. Sigh. :^)
No, BB, most internal phones at reasonably sized businesses these days are VoIP since it’s cheaper not to run multiple sets of wires to your cube. And once you’ve done the shift from POTS to VoIP you might as well enable the sending of messages to email rather than voicemail. I know I get all my messages via email since I never can remember which #&$%! control this particular Cisco abomination requires since each of my last 3 Cisco phones has had a different one.
Heck, it’s getting hard to get copper into anything anymore. Phone companies really don’t like to run it.
:^) Not sure I was arguing with you, Nerdbert. I just get nervous about trusting VOIP in emergency situations, that’s all. Hopefully reliability is getting to the point where that’s not as much of an issue. No worries if I was clumsy about the wording.

I used to sell 3Com and ShoreTel IP phone systems a few years back. I know that we always recommended retaining one analog line for a back up for 9-1-1, in case the network was down. Most alarm systems used analog lines to connect to the alarm company’s central office anyway.
nerd;
If it makes you feel any better, I used to eat Cisco’s lunch with ShoreTel because they were about a 10th of the cost, are Linux based, easier to deploy, use and maintain and use flash instead of spinning media, so no hard drives to fail at 4:00 a.m. on Monday morning. Further, no one needs to be “Cisco certified” to administer them. In fact, I displaced three Cisco phone systems for those very reasons.
