This may actually have been delibetrately avoided because they weren't following protocol and didn't want to gove away their secrets.<br /><br />Bill Clinton had excellent lawyers, who had very good reasons for maintaininbg information security, including the fact that they were probably breaking the law somewhere themselves.<br /><br />It's pretty easy, I think. to add security in a way that would not be practical for a larger system. <br /><br />For instance, it might be made possible to log on remotely only from certain devices. Some banks (like Chase) do this but they gove people a way out by allowing people to ansewr security questions. Well, you don't have to allow the security question loophole.<br /><br />Or, like Google, you might determine from what location or ISP somethinbg was coming in from, and not allow any others.<br /><br />Or, you might on occasion, use distance, which can't be faked, as data cannot travel faster than the speed of light, as one criteria of authentication.<br /><br /><i> Just FWIW, how do you know Bill Clinton's server hasn't been hacked? </i><br /><br />Do you, or anyone else, know the named of any Bill Clinton's girlfriends after Monica Lewinsky?<br /><br />No, it's not been hacked.<br /><br />Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-86592882485822716672015-07-09T09:32:49.032-05:002015-07-09T09:32:49.032-05:00The House Select Committee on Benghazi released We...<i> The House Select Committee on Benghazi released Wednesday the March 4 subpoena for former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails, refuting her claim in a national TV interview that she was never subpoenaed.

Redacting...Matthew Sablan said...7/8/15, 11:36 AM<br /><br /><i> Redacting documents released publicly is one thing. She removed information she provided to the Department of State, which were only noticed when compared with Blumenthal's submissions. </i><br /><br />I don't think that's correct. What she didn't do, is send all e-mails involving foreign policy to the State Department. But, she never actually really claimed to have done that. (her lawyers labeled everything not sent "private" but hat was a transparent misrepresentation)<br /><br />She supplied e-mails that fit within certain search criteria that she and her lawyers negotiated with the State Department. All this was done before the committee was even notified about her having <i> <b> retained the only sender's copies </b></i> of e-mails, so of course they never were subpoenaed before anythinbg she didn't supply was deleted.<br /><br />The e-mails she <i> <b> printed out paper copies of </b></i> were mostly emails that had been sent to State Department e-mail addresses (and which she could not know the State Department did NOT have, although many may have been deleted by the recipient) plus those that came up when certain search terms were used (which were probably reverse-engineered to avoid having certain e-mails come up)<br /><br />But there's still some stuff, damaging in various ways, in there - that's why Hillary is encouraging people to study them for its human interest value<br /><br />The only reason any Sidney Blumenthal e-mails at all were supplied to the State Department (and later to the House committee) was that Hillary Clinton forwarded most of them to Jake Sullivan, who had a state.gov e-mail address, with the request that he further forward them all over, keeping Blumenthal's name out of it. Some she was almost embarassed to send him, but it was probably part of her or Bill Clinton's arrangeent that this disionformation be sent to the U.S. government where (Putin?) could see if it flies. <br /><br />The reason we have other e-mails is that Sidney Blumenthal, on advice of his lawyers, supplied them to Congress. This advice was probably affected by knowledge that his e-mail had been hacked, and that meant e-mails could show up later <br /><br />It is not to me clear if any or all of the "Guccifer" e-mail messages, leaked (in all probability) by the Russian government were genuine Sidney Blumenthal e-mails or foregeries or altered by Putin's intelligence agency.<br /><br />Sidney Blumenthal testified that he didn't write any of these "intelligence" e-mails he sent to Hillary's server, but they were written by Tyler Drumheller.<br /><br />And just who is Tyler Drumheller?<br /><br />He's an ex-CIA official who retired in 2005 who was one of those claiming that George W. Bush (and not the CIA) lied about Iraq!<br /><br />He was the division chief for the Directorate of Operations (DO) - for clandestine operations in Europe from 2001 to 2005 - in other words the guy who found the farged documents in Italy which Vice President Cheney questioned which said that Iraq had a contract to buy iranium from Niger.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Drumheller<br /><br /><b> According to Drumheller the Bush administration ignored CIA advice and used whatever information it could find to justify an invasion of Iraq....<br /><br />... On September 6, 2007, Sidney Blumenthal, reporting at Salon.com, supported Drumheller's account: "Now two former senior CIA officers have confirmed Drumheller's account to me and provided the background to the story of how the information that might have stopped the invasion of Iraq was twisted in order to justify it." </b> <br /><br />I think maybe Tyler Drumheller or his friends could also have been the person reponsible for sending Joe Wilson to Niger - because this way the CIA avoided debunking that claim.<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19580362712870512312015-07-09T06:55:56.381-05:002015-07-09T06:55:56.381-05:00"Was referring to Hil.
