Clinton Email Scandal – Hillary’s “Enemies,” Foreign and Domestic

by

Clinton used private email in violation of department policy and that email was easily accessible to our enemies.  So, at this point, what difference does THAT make?

(In from the Cold) The infamous hacker Gucifer, now cooling his heels in a Romanian jail, first disclosed existence of the back channel system when he hacked into the e-mail account of Sidney Blumenthal, the long-time aide and confidant to the former Secretary of State.  While rooting around in Mr. Blumenthal’s e-mails, he found a series of messages sent to Mrs. Clinton.  Many contained intelligence information, apparently gathered from Blumenthal’s various contacts.  In some instances, he cautioned, the summaries contained “extremely sensitive” information, drawn form sources close to various foreign groups and governments.  Details of the e-mails were published at The Smoking Gun, but the information did not include Mrs. Clinton’s responses.

Obviously, if a lone hacker was able to uncover Mrs. Clinton’s e-mail domain, it wouldn’t be very hard for the intelligence services of Russia, China and other U.S. adversaries to access her messages as well.  And it raises legitimate questions about the type of information the former secretary of state was sending via unsecure e-mail.

Exit question: The lefty media is (uncharacteristically) all over this so who organized the coup and herded the media cats, and which Democratic presidential hopeful gains the most by it?

And does any of this classify as banning Bossy?
