Romanian Hacker 'Guccifer' Sentenced To 52 Months In US Prison (reuters.com)
Romanian hacker "Guccifer" who targeted high-profile US politicians has been sentenced for 52 months in prison. Guccifer, whose real name is Marcel Lazar, pleaded guilty in May on charges of aggravated identity theft and unauthorized access of a computer. Lazar targeted former Secretary of State Colin Powell and the Bush family and was arrested on hacking charges in Romania in 2014 and was sentenced four years. He was extradited to the U.S. to face charges in March 2016. Reuters adds: Lazar has said in interviews he breached Clinton's private server at her home in Chappaqua, New York, but law enforcement and national security officials say that claim is meritless. Lazar is believed to have hacked into email accounts of about 100 victims between 2012 and 2014. They include prominent political figures such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a relative of former President George W. Bush and Sidney Blumenthal, a former Clinton White House aide and an unofficial adviser to Clinton. Clinton is now the Democratic nominee for president. Lazar leaked online memos Blumenthal sent Clinton that were addressed to her private email account, which was used during her time as secretary of state to conduct both personal and work business in lieu of a government account.
Guccifer exposes Hillary's illegal email server and goes to jail for it.
Hilary gets off Scott Free.
BTW, Comey said "Leeeeave Hillary Alllloneeee" because there were more appropriate administrative punishments available.
And? What were they? Were the ever applied?
It's 'kinda worse than that.
Hillary Clinton sent classified E-mails after leaving the state department, after the FBI concluded its investigation more deleted E-mails turned up that they should have been given, even more E-mails turned up that should have matched the FBI search terms Hillary was given.
(Also, Bill Clinton used tax dollars to subsidize the private E-mail server and pay for employees at the Clinton foundation.)
Looking at the media reports, things like Sigh. Yet Another Non-Scandal at the Clinton Foundation come up.
Nothing to see here, no smoking gun. She wasn't indicted, so let's leave her alone.
That's correct. When joining the armed services you have given up several of your rights. The government can send you dangerous places and ask that you risk your life; you do not have freedom of speech, nor of assembly.
As far as military tribunals - they do operate out of bounds of the constitution. The Constitution only applies to areas that are part of the US; so military actions taking place out side of the US are outside the purview of the Constitution. (Assuming that Congress has authorized force and that the President is in command of said military forces.)
If you're scared of your govt then you need to further restrict its powers
Vote 3rd Party in 2016 and beyond
Right after the Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld ones. A week from Never.
Only crack the nuts that crack. You don't put the ones that don't crack in the sack.
