Mods: Can we unflag and replace with the ZeroHedge link? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-19/hillary-clinton-lin...

Don't bet on it.

Zerohedge is a banned site on Hacker News.

Someone went great lengths to produce this fabrication, very disturbing.

John Podesta is the founder of Center for American Progress

Is someone able to quickly summarize the missing prelude to this?

I already posted some below, but here are two links that you can work through and corroborate on your own:

The short version is that someone appears to be trying to frame Julian for pedophilia with a tall tale of a cam girl who just happened to let her little sister go on camera and a porn site that nobody has ever heard of that started operation that partners with the UN for reasons I cannot even fathom.

Wow. Even HN is trying to bury this.

I find this hard to believe.

I'm willing to believe somebody would try to smear Wikileaks.

I find it hard to believe they would reuse the same business address for both their overt and covert actions. Surely nobody is this dumb.

I find it hard to believe that people in the cloak and dagger business have twitter accounts.

This seems like a Reddit witch hunt leaking into HN.

This thread seems to have been shadow flagged

You mean when you attack people they attack you back? shocking

Note that the "attack" referenced appears to be the fake charges of pedophilia. Some people have put things together that you can corroborate yourself if you wish:
