As we previously noted, the October 15th presidential debate was scheduled to be moderated by Steve Scully, a former intern for Vice-President Joe Biden and a self proclaimed member of the “never Trump” resistance group.
Yesterday the senior political editor for CSPAN, Steve Scully, accidentally tweeted a public question to anti-Trump resistance member Anthony Scaramucci. It appears the public tweet was a mistake during a private DM (direct message) conversation.
However, after Mr. Scully outed himself as a coordinating member of the resistance; and subsequently destroying the credibility of himself, his organization and the debate commission; urgent damage control was needed. Today, Scully, C-SPAN and the Presidential Debate Commission are now claiming Scully’s twitter account was “hacked“.
WASHINGTON DC – C-SPAN host Steve Scully believes his Twitter account was hacked, the network announced in a statement Friday, in the aftermath of a tweet sent from his account to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci that raised questions of impartiality.
Scully “did not originate the tweet,” C-SPAN claimed, adding that the Commission on Presidential Debates was investigating the incident “with the help of authorities,” who were unidentified. Scully himself did not immediately comment.
Scully had been selected to host the second presidential debate, although the status of all future 2020 debates has been unclear. (more)
Perhaps the FBI will send 13 agents to help C-SPAN clean up this mess.
You decide…
Scully deploys the Joy Reid defense?
No, the Marion Barry defense: “the bitch set me up!”
NanXi just used that one with the hair salon.
Well if it worked why change a good thing?
a hacker would of said something more detrimental right? like …
Can confirm
That was my first thought too. Or at least put up a dick pick like Anthony Weiner did.
I don’t tweet, but IF one was to make a mistake sending a tweet rather than a DM, would the message look exactly like what is shown as the tweet?
Or, was it more likely an intentional tweet?
Something else?
Redzone, I don’t tweet either, but I believe it was a DM that was accidentally tweeted that outed Weiner’s relationship with the minor.
The Anthony Weiner defense
Should try the Bart Simpson defense
it appears Jussie Smollett is now the debate moderator!
Scully you’re not supposed to lose control. I was set up…

The saddest part is they clearly think we are all stupid enough to believe it. They need to leave their echo chamber and get out in the real world a bit more.
“Apparently nothing will ever teach these people that the other 99 percent of the population exist.” ― George Orwell
When they do acknowledge our existence it’s only in the planning of their “re-education” (wink-wink) camps.
Sonia, they do believe it, and they have to. I know you probably have heard “to be a Democrat you must ignore a lot of things.”
Spiritual first, physical second, it’s a principle of truth to measure with.
So, you hate, you hate for a good reason, it’s your country at stake, family friends. And none know what’s good for them, except you. So you teach hate, you practice hate, you breath it in everything and breed it.
Thing is, that hate covers everything not just one issue, you are blind to almost everything and everyone.
Where does that leave God?? And that my brothers is why you don’t hate! Heaven is not earned it is a relationship that breaks the bonds of Hell we are destined for.
They are naked but nobody says anything out of politeness at the ridiculous nature of their appearance.
So someone “hacks” his account to send a single message to the ‘mooch… Yeah, that makes sense. The sad thing is people will buy this crap.
If I had hacked his account, I could create all kinds of better trouble than ‘should i respond to trump’. It would be funny if these people weren’t so sure that we’re really that dumb.
Twitter knows in seconds if it was a hack. Three little tests with password, IP address and past records.
That Twitter is totally silent tells me they know but won’t spill the beans. Lefty snitches get DOXed stiches.
There is a Canadian broadcaster named Scully that would do a much better, impartial job. Get him!
Or even Peter Mansbridge.
Vin Scully? He’s voting for Biden this year.
Robert Scully
Lying ba$stard. He sent it intended for that blowhard Scaramucci but send it everyone.
WOW! Revolver named names – who’s who in the attempt to rule the world, at all costs, including us. And they now stand naked and exposed.
But, they really underestimate true Americans. We’re not going anywhere without a REAL fight. Time for these people to get a real life-changing scare. They have no idea who they’re messing with. We will be silent, but not too much longer….
Sorry! wrong thread!!
Maybe not. Is Steve Scully a member of the International Republican Cabal?
Please link to your comment in a response to me. I am interested in that discussion as well. However I don’t recall which post it was in.
I read that thread before this one.
Your comment makes perfect sense since we are still discussing the dingbats at the center of the fubar.
just in..all 167 ic agencies have produced a JAR (of flies)… and with sky high confidence…it was..
wait for it..
cozy steepe mother loving russian circus bear.

and this time…we have proof. solid proof.
crowdstrikeout used the magic 8 ball this time.

got maybe check again each roll.
we will will not be taking questions…thank you very much.
those rascally Russians bears
This is the SAME technique the feds used to get FISA warrants: plant something in the press, then use it as supporting evidence. C-SPAN is doing the same thing:
Fahrenkopf admits that he has NO DIRECT KNOWLEDGE, it’s just what he was told. Then C-SPAN uses that statement to claim that the debate commission said he was “hacked.” Baloney.
Frank, you just became obsolete. No reason for your job or organization to take up space and time.
Sure his twitter account was hacked… never mind that the mooch tweeted him back in normal conversation like they have been talking constantly.
Exactly.
Anyone who’s ever busted a cheating partner knows exactly what this is.
Come on FBI. This one should be a very easy case to crack. It’s not one of the hard ones, like who was dropping off pallets of bricks at the riot sites. I could see how that that could stump you.
https://twitter.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1314632630768459777
Was he working with super predator Ted Kennedy and his buddy Chris Dodd sandwich that poor waitress?
That guy’s a total lying d-bag. He thinks we’re idiots. C-SPAN IS SH** NOW.
Trump Boomerang strikes again. Scully, C-SPAN, and Fahrenkopferhefherer forgot to duck.
Sorry fellas!
LOL!!!!!
“The cat walked on my keyboard”
The cat peed on it when he saw what was going on.
Lol:
the democrat party is sick! all they do is USE and FRAME black people.
Exactly! That was set-up to give the Fake media narrative going into the final stretch. Fake media don’t have any more fake news to make it stick.
Juicy Smollett must have helped plan it. It is so goofy.–HA…or maybe Bubba from NOOSECAR?
Dems getting desperate and dangerous. Be safe everyone and go vote as if your life depends on it….which it does, come to think of it.
It wouldn’t surprise me that Gov. Half-wit is part of the plan, hoping to score points to become Kampala’s Vice President.
Imagine President Heels up Harris and Vice President Half-Wit-NEVER!!!
President Trump will win and we will MAGAA!!!
Dems getting desperate and dangerous. Be safe everyone and go vote as if your life depends on it….which it does, come to think of it.
Blessings to everyone and prayers for those in path of Meany Delta.
Man!! Those red-MAGA-hat-wearing-white-supremacists from Trump country get around don’t they…
Notice he’s said he’s been hacked at least twice before. He must be the most hacked man in America. https://twitter.com/splitsplatjones/status/1314705618910040064?s=21
And another hack.
He didn’t get hacked, Scully is the Hack.
I call shenanigans! Anyone with a blue check mark should be using multi-factor authentication with a strong password. He wasn’t hacked. Someone hacking a Twitter account would have had a lot more fun than that! You have to be supremely stupid to get hacked on Twitter in today’s environment.
are they plotting to kidnap the president?
thy always accuse others of what they do!
Uh, do you recall a certain super-duper Einstein of a Democratic political operative named Podesta responding to a phishing hack and his password was PASSWORD?
They think they’re so smart and because their base is so willfully blind they believe everyone not part of their base is stone stupid.
‘Never-Trump’ Debate Moderator Has History Of Blaming ‘Hackers’ For Offensive Tweets

If he was really hacked has he called his sources to let them know what the alleged hacker may have seen? Has he called the FBI? Local law enforcement? He just opened a huge can of worms because he didn’t want to admit a mistake.

@TimMurtaugh
It would be a very serious offense indeed if someone hacked the account of a moderator of a presidential debate in an effort to influence the election.
We trust Twitter will have a statement on the status of their “investigation” shortly.
Yes, PDJT should ORDER barr to have fbi investigate this attempt to influence the election. Catch the “hacker”. We know they have at least 14 agents doing nothing now that the noose was investigated.
I’d like to see the other tweets he claims were hacks and not just the claims he was hacked. What nonsense was he spouting then?
It is preposterous that if this guysTwitter Had been hacked, that the hacker would use that opportunity to fake a message to Scaramucci, instead of to some other more well known Trump hater.
Scully is a lying bastard….who got exposed.
One very innocuous tweet as well. Doesn’t pass the smell test. But the commission will get right on it!
Agreed… why would a hacker choose that particular message?
This. We have a winner. Scully has totally destroyed himself forever. He is a cheat, a liar, a tool, and an idiot.
You could say Scully is a hack.
Corrupt liar Chris Wallace said today he respects Scully as does everyone and he believes him. Bill Hemmer did not ask him if he thought it would be fair if a former intern for Biden and an avid never Trumper should be a moderator. Should Kelley Ann Conway moderate a debate?
Then Wallace turned his fire onto Trump saying he made a mistake to pull out since Biden was ahead in the polls. He did mention the part about Biden cheating in a virtual setting.
Do the American people really see through this?
Sorry. Didn’t mention Biden cheating. Which was the entire point and Hemmer and Wallace glossed over it.

A hacker would have posted a pic of Scully and Biden in the bushes at the Biden Beach Bash not Hey Scaramuccishould I respond to trump…
Naked Biden Kompromat.
The Commission on Presidential Debates is supposedly bipartisan w/ an equal number of Rs and Ds. I know all of the Republicans and most are friends of mine. I am concerned that none of them support @realDonaldTrump . A biased Debate Commission is unfair.
God bless Senator Dole. He appears to be one of the few good ones.
Thank you, Senator Dole!
Senator Dole is calling out the Commision on Presidential Debate bias against President Trump. I appreciate Sen. Dole’s honesty. Thank you sir.
The biggest question as I see it, is how the RNC could have permitted this level of bias in the debates? And is there any way to hold them accountable?
Exactly what location I’d buy a luxury home in if I was constantly screaming that climate change will cause massive coastal displacement because of rising sea levels.
I swear they give themselves away in the most obvious ways and yet their followers are willfully ignorant to what should be as obvious as a kick in the teeth.
I suggest that Mr. Scully be fired from
C-SPAN. As a moderator of a call-in program, he’s supposed to be neutral. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen as C-SPAN has been obvious in its preference for Democrat and liberal leanings since the retirement and departure of Brian Lamb, founder of C-SPAN.
I used to be a devoted fan until a few years ago when I noticed the obvious “swing” in their personnel, hosts, and guests. I rarely tune in anymore, except to watch a Trump rally.
Sue…same here. I watched every a.m. Then the Dems started grousing that the Repubs hogged the phone lines, so CSpan caved and set up three lines Dem, R and Indie, alternating them at which time the Dems started calling on both Dem and Indie line making it seem that Dem policies were popular. Haven’t watched since except a few debates when I couldn’t choke down Bret and Martha
Here’s my theory:
It was sent intentionally for ALL to see, especially TRUMP & his Base.
I think they hoped that TRUMP would be pissed & call off the rest of the debates to save Sleepy.
And/Or They hoped that the TRUMP base would demand that TRUMP call off the debates, again to get Sleepy out.
If it was hacked, why did mooch reply back? Because it wasn’t hacked.
Trish… he did reply back for Scully to ignore him.
Yes, I know. That’s why I said, ‘why did mooch reply”… if it was “so obvious” that Scummy was hacked.
…and….. its gone

Hope President Trump rejects this leftist Trump hater as moderator!
I hope Cspan rejects this leftist Trump hater as an employee. He was given an absolute plum of an assignment, and instead him as embarrassed the entire organization.
I am glad someone else besides me does not know how to use twitter! It’s alright Scully, it is better to let the truth out in public.
Hacked? Right. And I am the rightful Queen of England
Can I be knighted??
(I know you normally have to earn that title, but I’m not really into waiting or the hard work)

I believe your misuse of “two” takes you out of the running, “sir” Roger. /s
I want to be Sir Robin the brave! Can I can I can I can I?
Joe Rogan for Debate Moderator
and/or Tim Pool
THIS JUST IN:
After receiving a large payment from Perkins Coie, CrowdStrike has confirmed that Scully was hacked and indicated that they have no definitive evidence. They have submitted a redacted, draft report.
Pelosi Invested up to $1 Million in Crowdstrike – dates probably match with events.

Federal Election Commission records show that CrowdStrike received a $98,849.84 check from the Democratic National Committee the day after slain DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered
No need to worry everyone…..CROWDSTRIKE will get to the bottom of this in 2 days!
I criticized Trump for ever bringing Scaramucci into the administration. I trusted him about as much as I trusted Michael Avenatti. Come to think of it… I don’t think they’ve ever been visible at the same time, let alone in the same room.
Italian mafia
Involved in setting up Papadop too
I believe Mr. Scilly doesn’t think people will buy it. I believe he thinks his friends in the press will pretend to and say the idea it wasn’t hackers is a conspiracy theory. We have reached the point where they get off on bald faced lies
Total liar. Claiming you’ve been hacked when your tweets are exposed to sunlight is a pansies excuse. Every corner of the world is a fake reality show.
Scaramucci is Scully’s cutout for the passing of debate questions to the Biden camp.
If Trump agree on a Virtual debate, he should ask for Biden to be monitored by his people that are trustworthy to Trump because Biden is a known plagiarist and teleprompter user or else do not participate.
FOC NEws is now using this frauds hack claim to point our RUSSIA IS COMING!
Steve Scull yes Twitter account was probably hacked by the same person who hacked Joy-Anne Reid’s account years ago. /s
Apparently he deleted his twatter account because he knows there is an electronic trail. He used an iphone and THAT leaves a nice juicy footprint. He was caught with his proverbial hand in the cookie jar.
…and if you have the skills to hack the twatter machine you’d also know of that electronic trail…
The left lies. They HAVE to lie. They ALWAYS lie.
So did the person moderating debate #3. –

Let’s check that FISA database and see who sent the tweet, and what their GPS coordinates were when they did it. It was him.
This Scully crap is a good reason for the president to do the next debate after al – to shame Scully. My advice is for the president to just crash the site in Miami where Scully is supposed to be – along with a physical audience present. The debate commission’s current plan is for Scully and a human audience to be in one location. Trump and Biden are supposed to be remote. What if President Trump told everybody he’d be remote from a site in Miami and then he just walks into the studio – wired with his own microphone so that if Scully cuts the mike, the president’s voice can still be heard on RSBN, OANN and maybe the Trump campaign website.
No. Just do a live Joe Rogan podcast at the exact same time. Somebody made the suggestion about Tim Pool. Get him in there too. Those two guys could actually swing some voters.
Could it be Scaramucci was loading Scully up with a lot of dirt he could Dump on President Trump at Tuesday’s debate?
We only got a fragment of the conversation.
Oh, and Twitter has now deleted the entire Scully account. “No comment” from Twitter
Since Mooch hasn;t claimed he was hacked as well shouldn;t someone
be asking what he knows and how he knows whatever bad news is coming out
about POTUS?
If this kind of this wasn’t so tiring and sad one could be angry about it.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1314710067699159041?s=20
Trump was supposed to be down for the count for at least 3 weeks. The left will soon be believing in Trump.
Yeah, right…
Why is it the dumbest screwups blame things on detailed technical functions that they themselves least understand?
Anyone with a modicum of technical knowledge knows that there would be technical fingerprints and they would be afraid of those technical fingerprints proving themselves guilty.
Except for the “hacked” twitter account where the owner of the account uses sticky notes to keep their passwords.
Which does further prove one cannot fix stupid.
Anyone a smidgen brighter would have remembered just how well that “hacked” ruse fails the previous claimants; e.g., cankles, Epstein, wassermatterwithyou Wasserman, DNC, and the many other leftist ignorami who feign knowledge to appear smart.
Ah yes! The old “dog ate my homework” excuse.
The rent is in the mail!
Sorry, I think Scully’s excuse smells of a pile of bullschiff. His past history of being hacked speaks volumes. He thinks his CSPAN gig makes him a big player in DC and the country, but he is a partisan little man virtually nobody heard of trying to pretend he is “big.” Even CSPAN doesn’t need this kind of negative publicity. It ruins their “smoke and mirror” illusion of being non-partisan. Frankly, as people cut the cord, and CSPAN has to pay their own way, they will become just as irrelevant in the near future as Scully is today.
I was driving to Kentucky today and turned on Tic Toc Hannity, He had his boyfriend Karl Rove on and they both were giving cover to this clown Sculley. Changed the station.
But he also had these two other guys; one was Mark (?) Simone. Hannity said how nice Scully is and he gave him the benefit of the doubt (something like all the good people in the FBI).
The first guy agreed with Hannity; but Simone just made fun of Scully’s excuse and said it was ridiculous to believe it. Hannity was shaken so he asked his producer Linda her opinion and she said it was ridiculous to believe Scully…if someone was going to hack his account he would have posted something sensational, not this.
Poor Hannity, he had his tail between his legs at the end. Hannity is a Rino. Thank god he has LInda to speak truth.
