Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.
The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.
The real story is not that Trump had a novel length document of everything wrong with Vance (we know he’s basically what you get if Oogy Boogy was filled with empty vapes and paternal disappointment instead of just bugs). No, the real story is that Trump picked him anyway.

Repubs are utterly corrupt.
When you “send your best” from a criminally corrupt pile of dogshit, you get the average republican!
Maybe the conspiracy has something to do with why Thiel and Musk and others want Trump for president.
Once the hamberders stop blood flow through his arteries they’ll have their personal puppet on the throne. The orange is unpredictable while JDV can be operated directly through the hand up his puppet hole
That’s it, really. Trump was only ever a Trojan horse for far more coherently evil men.
As others have noted Peter Thiel money might have influenced the choice. Given Vance’s relationship to Project 2025 (he wrote the foreword to Kevin Roberts’s book, remember[1]) it’s also possible he was a strongly pushed Heritage Foundation plant - put in place to ensure the flailing incoherent mess that is Trump’s mind is actually implementing Project 2025 properly when elected.

Was it just a copy of Hillbilly Elegy?
Vance had one job - do what Pence wouldn’t on Jan 6th.
Then, back in the fucking box.
Word!
Trump can’t read so the briefing they gave him was all pictures
He was confused at seeing the Lovesac catalogue and said “sure! I already have a pillow guy!”
Not enough of him or Ivanka clones so he just dozed off and farted
Tbf all the other candidates are also republicans. I’d pay just to find out how big the dossier of the alternatives would get.
Pretty sure a vetting document would have both negatives and positives, right?
But also opposition research is actually normal and prudent. Losing it is obviously not. But do we actually know how damaging the info is?
It’s my understanding that the length is fairly normal. The vetting process for VP is very intense and thorough. They will go through every tiny aspect of your entire life if they’re doing their job well.
