Hacker Guccifer Claims He Easily and Repeatedly Broke Into Hillary Clinton's Email Server (foxnews.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fox News: The infamous Romanian hacker known as "Guccifer," speaking exclusively with Fox News, claimed he easily -- and repeatedly -- breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's personal email server in early 2013. In the process of mining data from the Blumenthal account, Lazar said he came across evidence that others were on the Clinton server. "As far as I remember, yes, there were up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world," he said. From the report: "'For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody,' Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker 'Guccifer,' told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held. Fox News could not independently confirm Lazar's claims. The 44-year-old Lazar said he first compromised Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account, in March 2013, and used that as a stepping stone to the Clinton server. He said he accessed Clintonâ(TM)s server 'like twice,' though he described the contents as 'not interest[ing]' to him at the time." Guccifer was sent to prison last month, which is when his potential role in the Clinton email investigation became apparent.
Same reason the guy who hacked Sarah Palin's Yahoo Mail account (proving she was illegally conducting official business on a personal email account) went to jail but Sarah Palin didn't. The elites don't go to jail in America.
You have understood the point absolutely, and entirely.
Congrats. I guess... as it it not a nice realization.
I have worked in Academia, Industry, the US Government, and within the US 'Military-Industrial Complex (MIC)'. I left the latters for the primary – Academia.
One of the first lessons (LECTURES) I was given as a government and as a MIC-employee was that I should label every report, internal publication, memo, or even a fucking email setting up a meeting time – as SBUC. Just as a matter of course. "It's just hygiene," they told me.
Fuck that. I have been a Federal Whistle-blower. TWICE. Why yes, they have tried, through illegal means, to destroy my professional reputation (I am anonymous here on /.),as well as my personal and financial lives, in retaliation for whistle-blowing.
I am not dead yet. The third, and biggest, whistle-blow is imminent.
I've already mentioned their names. I DO HAVE a "Dead-man's Switch" set up, which will, in the case of my death or long-term coma, release the headline-making shenanigans of the bastards who have intellectually raped me available to The Intercept, Wikileaks, The Guardian, as well as some others.
These assholes have already fucked with me. If I die, it will be 100x worse for them. The 'perfectly organized' data-dump is already armed. If I fail to log in to my "Dead Man's Server(s)" on a periodic basis, the full contents of illegal activities of my intellectual rapists will be exposed in one large chunk. The media outlets can then tranche the information as they see fit.
These people have ignored the First Rule. (DNFWM)
why did she comply 100% with the request for a copy of all work-related email? The only things she deleted were about 30k personal emails.
She was supposed to use systems that would keep official copies of all her official emails. She used her own system, which didn't.
She was supposed to hand over all official materials she had in her possession when she stopped being Secretary of State. She had to sign a document to that effect. But she had copies of all those official emails (on the server), and her lawyer had more copies (on a USB flash drive). Who even knows how many copies there were... maybe her IT guy had some backup tapes.
A political group filing Freedom of Information Act requests eventually figured out that there was almost no FOIA-available email from her; the government just said "we got nothing" and didn't explain why. Thanks to the Guccifer hack that came to light, the existence of her personal email server also came to light. Then a court ordered her to (finally!) turn over all those emails that she was supposed to have turned over already and wasn't supposed to have any more.
Then she didn't turn them over. She instead went through her emails and picked and chose what to turn over. She says that she deleted personal emails but turned over work-related emails... next time the IRS audits you, just give them part of what they ask for, and explain that you deleted the rest because it was personal. See how that works for you. In case the analogy wasn't clear: when a court orders you to turn stuff over, you don't get to pick and choose what to turn over. Unless your name is Hillary Clinton I guess, since she got away with it so far.
Oh by the way, she (or people working under her direction, same diff) printed the emails on paper, and handed over the paper. This senseless destruction of trees was just to make things harder for the people trying to sift through her emails, but of course all it did was waste some time; the feds have document scanners and OCR, and turned the paper back into searchable data. It was just sort of a little "fuck you" from Hillary to the people filing FOIA against her.
So, the US government doesn't have a complete record of her emails, but any spy agency that figured out what she was doing could have cracked her server and downloaded everything. So odds are good that the Russians and the Chinese have full copies of everything, whereas the US government is having to work hard to try to piece it all together.
So yeah, she cooperated 100%. 110%!!
P.S. A Marine is in huge trouble for sending a classified email with a personal laptop, and having a couple of classified documents on it. His defense is that secured laptops were hard to come by in a combat area, and the email was an attempt to save lives. The Marine Corps kicked him out over this.

Do you support one standard for the little people, and a looser standard for Hillary Clinton?
That's actually fine.
Here's what Trump is going to do: He's going to enrich himself and his contractor/developer buddies by building massive new infrastructure projects. He'll probably completely overhaul the NY subways. He'll go on a bridge repair binge.
That's fine too.
Because the *real* threat facing America isn't Trump enriching himself by overspending on infrastructure. It's the ownership of government by the banking system, MIC and health-care industries.
Yes, Trump is a self-serving, rich-kid who's never the most worldly guy in the room.
But he won't do half the damage that an oligarch puppet with a gigantic right-wing neocon streak can do. Hillary is dangerous.
SNL comedianne Tine Fey said that while LAMPOONING Palin and you were stupid enough to fall for it.
NEWSFLASH: The Cookie Monster is not real, and there's no actual Bruce Wayne who spends his nights fighting crime under the moniker "Batman". Oh, and Michael Moore is a rich guy who recently was hospitalized IN THE USA for high quality care, rather than insisting he be flown to Cuba for treatment. And while we're at it, Bernie the "Democratic Socialist" is gonna end up rich after this [about to be failed because it's rigged by the DNC] presidential primary and "Democratic Socialism" is nothing new; it's what the poverty-stricken and politically-oppressed Marxists in places like North Korea and the former East Germany (The Deutsche Demokratische Republik) had.
Sadly, you probably vote and your complete ignorance probably helped put Obama into office.
So what you're saying is "Many people have accused her of things. None of them have been proven true, and most have been demonstrated to be false. But I want her to be guilty and believe them anyways, even the demonstrably false ones."
A quick Google search brings up this about uniforms in the white house. So that looks false too. Will you publicly admit to being wrong, or will you continue believing and trusting news sources which lie to your face? Are you honest or gullible?
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Hillary and her policies. Why do people have to make up lies to hate her? Say what you hate about her policies, but not that she is a corrupt traitor who wants to destroy America.
Here's the reality you're overlooking:
Domestically:
The next president however will likely get to appoint at least one and probably 2 supreme court justices, and gets free reign to appoint the heads of every government agency. That is substantial power right there. Just wait to see Trump replace the heads of every single regulatory agency with a puppet of the rich to ensure no corporation is ever again impeded from causing misery, mayhem and death for profit or even forced to spend any money to take reasonable precautions against calamitous events. Look forward to a supreme court where we won't be JOKING about the corporation always winning - it will simply be par for the course that the constitution be interpreted as meaning whatever the wealthier of the parties want it to say.
Foreign policy:
Let's assume that congress will block and overrule the veto to prevent Trump and the insane clown posse he would appoint as his secretaries from declaring war on every country that made fun o his hair. That's not much of a guarantee I'm afraid. It's ridiculously easy to start a war *against* the wishes of your own government - all you have to do is pressure the other country up to the point where they feel compelled to declare war on *you* at which point your government kind of has to fall in line. History is full of examples of that. A notable one was Britain circa 1897. The liberal government of the day opposed Rhodes's expansionist views and definitely didn't want another war. Cecil John Rhodes (genocidal madman) and his governmental puppet Lord Alfred Milner (governor of the British Cape Colony) wanted to take the boer republics by force, but parliament was adamantly against it. Under advice from colonial secretary Joseph Chamberlain they hatched a plan around that, making increasing insane demands of the boers until eventually - under extreme duress the Boer republics declared war on the British empire. A declaration that, in terms of military comparability was roughly on par with Kenya declaring war on the United States today. They didn't want a war, they were just pressured into believing one was absolutely inevitable and they had best try to strike first. Once war was declared UPON the British government, they kind of had no choice but to fight the war.
Do you think Trump would be above such tactics ? I sure don't. Hell, he's quite insane enough that, when the impossibility of actually building his wall comes home to roost he would blame it on the Mexican government and appease his supporters by causing a second Mexican-American war. The man has no respect for human life, and no qualms whatsoever about wasting millions of them to protect his own interests.

If you really want proof, instead of a a way to deny it: Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich by Peter Schweizer.
Sections of the book were printed in the NY Times, though promptly ignored by all the other media, since it didn't match the collective liberal narrative.
It's not necessary to make up lies the truth is damning enough. The quick Google search you reference points to a site well known for its liberal bias. Since were doing anecdotes instead of facts on the subject I'll just report that I know well a military enlisted person who spent a good deal of his career at the white house. He was a communication specialist and as is typical in those circles spent most of his career in the Reagan and Bush I White House jumping from the travel unit ("Sea Duty") and White House communications. His treatment, as a member of the military, after the Clinton's move in was such that he request posting to real sea duty rather than remain there.
I doubt she is a corrupt traitor who wants to destroy America. She worked for that guy. She is merely a corrupt self serving elitist who hopes to someday parlay her presidential tenure into more untold millions in speaking fees and the selling of political influence.
