Guccifer 2.0 Dumps a Bunch of Clinton Foundation Donor Data (engadget.com)

The hacker Guccifer 2.0 today released a large database of information reportedly stolen from the Clinton Foundation. The dump, Engadget reports, includes names, addresses, and emails of both individuals and corporate donors as well as their contribution amounts. From the report: This, of course, isn't the first time Guccifer or his friends at Wikileaks and the Kremlin have attempted to subvert the US political process during this election cycle. Just last month Guccifer released Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Kaine's personal cell phone number. What's more, nearly half of the country's state voter registration systems have recently come under cyberattack, according to the DHS, though the FBI has not yet determined if those breaches originated in Russia. There are also a number of unanswered questions regarding Republican nominee, Donald Trump's, connection to these attacks. Four House Democrats recently demanded that the FBI investigate the nominee after he "jokingly" suggested that Russia find and release the 33,000 emails reportedly missing from Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Deleting all the emails isn't a crime, and if she's "guilty" of storing confidential emails, deleting them is her duty.

The timeline is that she was investigeated for Benghazi, and while being investigated, noticed improper emails. She wipes the improper emails, then later there's an investigation into the improper emails. The "evidence" was already destroyed, back before it was evidence. That's not a crime, and storing them further would have been "worse" than deleting the improper emails once one is aware of them (And not under investigation for them).

When every action she takes is "criminal", the problem is the people who hate her, not her actions. Next, she'll be investigated for murder because some child had a death from SIDS in Kansas while she took a breath in DC, so she obviously stole the baby's breath.

Why are all the possible crimes being committed on one side here????

They aren't. They are committed on both sides. Trump gets a pass because he's not Clinton. He's under multiple fraud investigations, and has criminal and civil "convictions" against him. But that's OK. He isn't Clinton. She should be burned at the stake. He should be president. Actual fraud (embezzlement from a non-profit) isn't as bad as deleting a classified email once it's discovered, as required by law.

Re:Charity?

Clinton shill,

You precious American Institute of Philanthropy, now called CharityWatch, also put the Clinton Foundation on its watch list because of concerns about donations by foreign governments. The State Department itself had these concerns too, until Hillary used her power conveniently.

The 88% of money not spent on admin went where? The State Department wanted transparency for that at one time...

Meh they all do it

[rsilvergun]

getting mad at Hilary for this crap is like getting mad at me for doing 70 in a 65mph zone. It's universal. Bush deleted 22 million emails to hide what were probably war crimes and nobody gave a rat's behind. Your rage is manufactured. Ask yourself who's manufacturing it and you'll know who deserves your ire.

It doesn't quite work that way. If a private computer device, for whatever reason, gets "contaminated" with secure information, it becomes the property of the federal government, and must be immediately surrendered to the appropriate security officials. The government can keep it, or clean it, but that is their job, not the person that formerly owned the device.

Folks with security clearance are very careful to keep their private devices out of anywhere that might accidentally contaminate them with secure information. It is a real bother having to surrender the device, fill out all of the paper work, and then wait an indeterminate amount of time before it might come back. It is usually easier to just buy a new phone, laptop, etc... and forget about the contaminated device.

Perhaps, but at the time of the hardware wipes I think they legitimately thought there was no classified information on the server.

It's easy to understand why, classified intel was supposed to be clearly marked and on a completely separate system. No one was supposed to be emailing classified information to Clinton, even if it was a State Dept email address, and none of the few pieces of classified information on Clinton's server was clearly marked as classified.
