Why leak? Because if the information is real, a crime was committed and RB cleared him. Character assassination would be only if the stuff is fake.

That's odd phrasing considering several jurnos have confirmed they have these messages
I have always denied the allegations, is very different from those aren’t real. If they were fake he’d say so. The allegations were of inappropriate and controlling behaviour. Perhaps the ‘investigator’ concluded it’s not inappropriate to send dick pics to your assistant if she welcomes said pics. I suggest most corporations would take issue with company phones being used jn such a way, but red bull are the cool distributors tho right so….

Dare bet Christian's Lawyers are going to be all over that. Someone could be going to get rinsed for a LOT of money if they are leaked/fake.

Very easy to trace IP addresses via email - especially when a lot of corporate servers will scan the senders etc.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

I agree. This is not the statement you would put out if these were just fake. Responding to them, especially without stating that they are not accurate, just gives them credibility. Would be very strange if they aren’t real.

It's not easy to trace when using VPN/TOR.

There is a whole army of LH adepts who would love to see the fall of Horner. In this era of fake news I would be very careful in what you perceive as real.

Buy a cheap burner phone with pay as you go sim, use it as a hotspot.
create some random new email addresses to sign up to google drive.

Be able to get your location but not who you are. But loads way of masking without even getting into deep stuff.

Agreed 100% on this...I mean Horner has gone through a lot over the last few weeks. He has been investigated and been acquitted. These images, even if they are real, are irrelevant now. IMHO...there is nothing incriminating about the messages anyway...

You can't even call it a crime..it was an internal issue. Seems more like a witch hunt to me now.

If there is a crime, you don't need RB, you can simply go to the police to get justice.

Taking it with a pinch of salt. This website here https://www.fakewhats.com/generator could create anything you wanted chat wise.

Probably the biggest danger from all this is just how Ford will react.

If the stuff isn’t real then you’d expect a statement to that effect pretty quickly.
