Trump Didn’t Just Lose, He Did Lasting Damage

September 27, 2016 at 10:21 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

John Podhoretz: “By the end of the 95 minutes, Trump was reduced to a sputtering mess blathering about Rosie O’Donnell and about how he hasn’t yet said the mean things about Hillary that he is thinking. Most important, he set ticking time bombs for himself over the next six weeks.”

“As she hammered him on his tax returns, he handed her an inestimable gift by basically saying he pays no federal taxes despite his billions — and moreover, that if he had done so, it would have been ‘squandered’ anyway.”

“That’s not going to go away, nor is her suggestion that his refusal to release his returns is the result of his either not being as rich as he says or not being as charitable as he claims.”

Opposition Research Isn't Just for Politics Anymore

Political operatives know how easy it is to dig up someone’s phone number, old addresses, family connections, and workplace. The same tools used in campaigns and opposition research are now used by scammers.

One Redditor described a chilling experience: “A stranger called me, my ex, his girlfriend, my brother, my cousin, and my parents. He knew everyone’s names — even where I work.”

That’s because your data never disappears. Old jobs, past moves, and personal details are collected, archived, and sold by data brokers and people-search sites.

Incogni removes your personal data from these sites and keeps monitoring to make sure it stays gone.

They can't scam you if they can’t find you. Save 55% on an annual subscription with code POLITICALWIRE.
