INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES — Guccifer 2.0, the notorious and pseudonymous hacker believed to have perpetrated the controversial DNC (Democratic National Committee) hack has released a new cache of documents from the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee). The release contains internal documents detailing information on Democratic Congressman and DCCC chairman Ben Ray Lujan, during his tenure. The cache also includes a memo, which the hacker claims, provides evidence of Hillary Clinton having been the Democratic favourite, even prior to the conclusion of the primaries.

It will be amazing.” […]
