It seems the cheese-eating surrender monkeys have rules about these things.
Emmanuel Macron hacked emails: French media ordered by electoral commission not to publish content of messages | The IndependentFrance's electoral commission has ordered media not to publish contents of Emmanuel Macron's leaked campaign emails to avoid influencing the election.
It warned news outlets in France that journalists could face criminal charges for publishing or republishing the material, under laws that came into effect at midnight forbidding any commentary liable to affect the presidential race.
And as for the russkies, given that they funded Le Pen, why wouldn't they have another go, it worked last time.
Emmanuel Macron email leaks 'linked to Russian-backed hackers who attacked Democratic National Committee' | The IndependentA huge leak of emails from Emmanuel Macron’s campaign team may have been orchestrated by the same group behind the Democratic National Committee leak, analysts say.
Code within a cache of up to 9GB of data and documents posted on an anonymous filesharing website was partly written in Russian, despite apparent efforts to delete metadata.
Vitali Kremez, director of research with US-based cyber intelligence firm Flashpoint, said his analysis indicated that APT 28, a group tied to Russia’s GRU military intelligence directorate, was behind the leak.
^ Looks like the leak is too late to make much difference.
I'm sure the leaks about LePen and Russian funding a couple of years ago can be brought back to life to show how poisonous the bitch is.
Macron represents the Established order and will win. No need to get excited over Marine. She is not the Establishment posing as the "Anti establishment" that Trump is. Trump was only meant to be the establishment's plan B if Hillary lost to Bernie.
Thank goodness the French have voted with thought and not emotion.
Congratulations to M. Macron.
Looks like the US and the UK could learn a thing or two from the French about how to conduct a poll. First and second round polls were pretty good with 60/40 looking like being the advantage.

She lost against an unknown who only started his party last year and is critical of the French 35 hour week. With low voter turnout, that has to be the best chance she will ever have.
Le Pen is history.
Put simply, that isn't my logic, it's your misguided inference.
A fake new and fake change candidate who was groomed for several years by the globalists. including a short stint at Goldman sacks , even though he had no experience...Originally Posted by Troy
He was then wheeled in to be a seamless replacement for the current government, who are extremly unpopular.
Why 60 % of the voters fell for it is a sad indictment of French thinking .
No doubt the media played a big part branding Le pen as right wing and Marcon as NEW at every chance.
For example in round 1 Le Pen only got 5% of the vote in Paris , amazing, and that after many Muslim terror attacks there..
Macron elected as French president.
66% to 34%. Major ass kicking. Next hurdle for Macron is to have his party pick up seats in assembly in upcoming election. He will have to form a strong coalition to get anything done.Originally Posted by ENT
France beats both the UK and the USA in the " we're not stupid stakes "
I hope all the smart poms and seppos are cringing ")
Glad to see that common sense prevailed over ignorance. Hopefully England will vote with common sense and boot the Tories out in May.
I don't know much at all about French politics.
I wish I knew a little more.
Can somebody summarize the views of both candidates in an objective way?
Please refrain from using over-the-top adjectives and labels.
Le Pen represents a party that was founded by a small group of French elititists who collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War. Macron represents everybody else.
Hopefully this marks the high point of Neo Nazi support and likewise the Tories will also be rejected by the voters in the British Isles.

I'm putting money on her niece being a future president.
