There was an interesting claim on Twitter the other day. Mike Cernovich, a washed-up lawyer who has never done anything noteworthy with his life other than peddle juice, claims that Hillary Clinton's 33k deleted emails have been recovered and will be released in November.
This struck me as a little odd. Why on earth would this meathead roid-rager have any idea who has or hasn't released Clinton's emails? He has just over a hundred thousand Twitter followers, but that's it. Why is he the one breaking the story?
Now, in all likelihood, the most obvious reason is "he's full of shit," but let's imagine he's telling the truth. What does this mean?
To find the answer, we need to go back to 2014, during the festering boil on the internet that was #Gamergate. Cernovich quickly positioned himself as one of the "legitimate" figureheads of the movement, telling the nascent alt-right that yes, feminists were responsible for their poor love lives. He wasn't alone in this, however. There was another prominent figure who rode the wave of horseshit as far as he could.
I'm speaking, of course, about Milo "Suspended from Twitter from being a racist prick" Yiannopolous. Cernovich and Milo were easily two of the most high profile supporters of the movement, and frequently tweeted at, and retweeted, each other. Why is this significant?
Well, as we all know, Milo works for Breitbart, the site dedicated to fellating Trump and ensuring he wins the Presidency. More than that, Breitbart's Steve Bannon is playing a critical role in the Trump campaign.
If we assume that Cernovich isn't just lying through his teeth, the only reasonably conclusion is that he heard it through Milo, who heard it from Bannon, who is in close contact with Wikileaks to try and ensure a Trump win.
Ergo, because a roidhead couldn't keep his mouth shut on Twitter, we have significant conclusive evidence linking the Trump campaign to Wikileaks. QED.
