    Re: Question
    From: Colin Powell [redacted] [RELEASE IN PART B6]
    To: Hillary Clinton hr15@att.blackberry.net B6
    Subject: Re: Question

    I didn't have a BlackBerry. What I did do was have a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.) So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers. I even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department on their personal email accounts. I did the same thing on the road in hotels.

    Now, the real issue had to do with PDAs, as we called them a few years ago before BlackBerry became a noun. And the issue was DS would not allow them into the secure spaces, especially up your way. When I asked why not they gave me all kinds of nonsense about how they gave out signals that could be read by spies, etc. Same reason they tried to keep mobile phones out of the suite. I had numerous meetings with them. We even opened one up for them to try to explain to me why it was more dangerous than say, a remote control for one of the many tvs in the suite. Or something embedded in my shoe heel. They never satisfied me and NSA/CIA wouldn't back off. So, we just went about our business and stopped asking. I had an ancient version of a PDA and used it. In general, the suite was so sealed that it is hard to get signals in or out wirelessly.

    However, there is a real danger. If it is public that you have a BlackBerry and it is governmend and your are using it, government or not, to do business, it may become an official record and subject to the law. Readingi about the President's BB rules this morning, it sounds like it won't be as useful as it used to be. Be very careful. I got around it all by not saaying much and not using systems that captured the data.

    You will find DS driving you crazy if you let them. They had Maddy tied up in knots. I refused to let them live in my house or build a place on my property. They found an empty garage half a block away. On weekends, I drove my beloved cars around town without them following me. I promised I would have a phone and not be gone more than an hour or two at Tysons or the hardware store. They hated it and asked me to sign a letter relieving them of responsibility if I got whacked while doing that. I gladly did. Spontaneity was my security. They wanted to have two to three guys follow me around the building all the time. I said if they were doing their job guarding the place, they didn't need to follow me. I relented and let one guy follow me one

  8. I'm not saying they were all relevant, I'm saying that quickly filtering them out based on keyword searching does not constitute an investigation based on actual experience investigating the Podesta email dump.

    I realize this point is lost on you, but seriously, it's not like anyone had any reason to believe Comey was even going to send anything to the Democratic attorney general after we saw this:

    That said, it's true that what Powell did was also bad (click 'view original PDF'), but it's hard not to see intent to subvert the law here when they're literally discussing exactly how to bypass the legal requirements in this PDF and how much the NSA hates them for doing that. By all means, prosecute him as well.

    Yeah, it's not like we have any experience from looking through the Podesta dumps.

    I'm perfectly capable of writing perl -ne '/incriminating evidence/i and print' but I also know just how silly that idea is.

    Unlike those who let CNN think for them, I've actually gone through the Podesta dumps. I know about important attachments hidden under irrelevant subject lines. I know the different code names and the different email addresses used. And there are some indications they talk in code, as well.

    The people on /r/wikileaks are still making connections months later. The idea that any real review has been done on 650k emails in 8 days is pretty silly based on the real data of thousands of people doing it on another set over a longer time. We have a search engine for the Podesta dump. Saying you did a few searches so you've done a full review is kind of silly.

  12. And this time they have 650k emails that are, somehow, all dupes of the 33k?

    Oh, but we can filter out irrelevant ones, right? Like the crazy attachments about dirty stuff they like to attach to emails with subjects like "Congratulations" that we have in the Podesta dumps? Great plan, there....

    > The point is that Trump's supporters have no solid evidence that there was not enough time to review the emails.

    That's just silly. People are still finding new things in the Podesta emails. Our evidence comes from having experience DOING the same task on another set of email. By that, we know that lot of things were hidden in attachments on emails with silly subject lines like "Congratulations." Tell me, why would someone reply to a weeks-old email saying "Congratulations" about something to send an attachment with incriminating stuff and not, say, send a new email or respond to another thread that was recent & relevant? There are also various code names to worry about (Diane Reynolds = Chelsea Clinton, Evergreen = Hillary Clinton, etc.) that will confuse naive grepping.

    Saying that a computer could hash and search 650k emails in a few minutes is just silly. We can already do that with the Podesta dumps via search engines, but we find new things and make new connections every day. It's not a very easy task to parallelize, either. People are only making connections about the Clinton Foundation selling influence by connecting the dots across many emails.

    So sure, they can "review" 650k emails in 8 days, but how you can have 650k dupes from 33k emails is not well-explained and anyone who has actually read /r/wikileaks would know that most of the good stuff is deliberately hidden in binary attachments under ridiculous subject lines that won't be found by mere grepping. We know because it took us weeks to catch onto the methods.

    But yeah, sure, feel free to assume they've done a thorough review of 650k emails by running a handful of greps, secure in the knowledge that computers can search quickly and that makes it all easy, because that's what you wanted to hear.

    Technically, there is a memo from Colin Powell to Hillary telling her how to get away with this kind of thing (click 'view original PDF' -- I can't link it directly). I'm not clear on what all he did other than what it says in the memo, but I'd say that he should get investigated too. It does make it unclear how the FBI can't prove "intent" here, though.

I suggest actually reading through and watching each of those items.

    So if you hate people for causing violence, look no further than Hillary. Remember that guy with no gun at the Trump rally who got taken down by the SS? Turns out he was a plant and there's a dead woman who has been voting by mail from his place for a decade.

    The problem is that fear wins elections so everyone has too much of an interest in stirring that up. It doesn't help when there are real occasions for fear, either.

I'd happily rule against any of the shady business deals against any of them were I a juror.

And we have him mentioned in the Stratfor dumps. Yet another bird dogging attempt and all the links are out there for anyone who wants to look them up. It's easy to see one news item you don't agree with and dump it, but be sure you look at the election records, look up the address, look up the death records.

    As for the rate of going through these, we've found that they love to use irrelevant subjects like "congratulations" to send some of the crazy attachments. So while I can totally believe they'd filter out "irrelevant" emails, they'd be led around by the nose if they did so.
