#Hacked, Redux: Former Joe Biden Intern and Debate Moderator Steve Scully Sends Tweet to Anthony Scaramucci About Trump, Then Claims He Was "#Hacked"

This is Anthony Weiner redux.

Just like Anthony Weiner, Scully intended to send a private direct message, but accidentally sent a public tweet. Thus we can see that this neutral, unbiased reporter is asking a Trump foe for advice about Trump: " @Scaramucci should I respond to trump"

Now people from the Commission on Presidential Debates are claiming that Scully was #Hacked -- but Scully himself isn't saying that publicly.

That's because it's a lie.

Scully's bizarre tactic of telling his associates to put out the word that he was "#Hacked," without himself committing to the claim publicly or filing a police report for an invasion of privacy, is of course an indication that this is complete bullshit.

He wants people to believe this claim -- but he dare not make the claim himself, publicly.

This is what you might do when you're lying, if you're additionally a coward and a c#ck.

Also, it should be noted that Anthony Weiner also searched for ways not file a (false) police report.

Furthermore, Scaramucci responded to Scully as if they were in the middle of a conversation, as Joe Concha pointed out.

He didn't respond, "Wait, why are you writing to me?"

He didn't write, "Why are you asking me?"

He didn't write, "It's very strange that Steve Scully would be asking me a question. Have you been #Hacked"?

No, he just answered the question, plainly: "Ignore. He is having a hard enough time. Some more bad stuff about to go down."

Note that that answer includes a claim about insider information/rumors about new bad news for Trump -- not really something you share with a stranger.

Also note that Scully has tweeted out highly anti-Trump stuff before:

Another tweet of Scully's from the 2016 election showed him sharing a New York Times op-ed titled, "No, Not Trump, Not Ever."

There's also his background, which adds credibility to the notion that he's a hack corresponding with Trump enemies for advice about how to get Trump:

Scully's credibility as an unbiased debate moderator was previously questioned after it became known that he previously served as an intern for then-Senator Biden and served as a staffer for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.

Also -- again, Anthony Weiner like -- we have no confirmation from Twitter that he was "hacked." Probably because he wasn't.

Lastly: The tweet in question was deleted. I can't find at what time that happened, but the sense I got was that it was deleted quickly.

If you're "#Hacked," it's going to take a while to realize it, then to contact Twitter, then to positively establish you're the real account-holder, then to open up a trouble ticket, then to start the investigation, then to investigate, and then to end the investigation.

I said investigation a lot there because they have to be very careful about giving control of an account to someone who merely claims to be the account holder -- otherwise, hackers would constantly be claiming "I was hacked, give me access to Monica Bellucci's account, and yes, I am totally Monica Bellucci and so are my hot bewbz and so is my sweetly tropical snizz."

But apparently this tweet got deleted quickly... almost as if none of that long process ever happened, but instead, that this partisan leftwing liar realized he'd tweeted publicly something he intended to be private and just deleted it himself.

Another point: Masturbatin' Pete writes:

>>>The tweet or email or text or whatever is bad, but not remotely as bad as would justify hacking in to the account. You want to make somebody look bad? Have them tweet about [illegal sex stuff].

Right, exactly! If this was a "hack," then this hacker is gold standard for subtlety and sophistication.
