Gee, What A Surprise
Well, Clintoon’s private email is in the news again. And not for good reasons.
1. It seems that, well . . . some people in other countries were interested in Clintoon’s private email server. Seriously interested.
As in, “people who appear to be linked to the People’s Republic of China”. That private email server was apparently targeted by malware operating from locations in China, South Korea, and Germany. The malware executing these attacks is reportedly linked to China.
Other attacks, for which more information has not been made public, apparently also occurred.
These attacks occurred during late 2013 and 2014. Those attacks were detected (and apparently blocked) by anti-malware software installed to protect the server in October 2013.
No such anti-malware software was installed on the server prior to 2013. It’s thus unknown if the server was targeted prior to October 2013.
However, were I a betting man, well . . . yeah, I’d guess it was. Some of our adversaries seem pretty damn competent when it comes to this kind of stuff.
2. Remember Platte River Networks and their lack of backups for Clintoon’s mail server? Well, it looks like maybe there’s an explanation for that after all. Apparently, a Clintoon family firm – Clinton Executive Service Corporation – reportedly asked Platte River to reduce the amount of time for which backups of the server were held on-file.
It appears Platte River originally had backups of the server from day one. Clinton Executive Service Corporation seems to have asked them to reduce that to 30 days – apparently after the FBI began looking into the matter. Don’t know about you, but that makes me wonder.
3. However, it’s not only Clintoon’s private server that’s an issue. Apparently the FBI recently impounded four servers from the Department of State in conjunction with the matter. Interesting.
4. And, finally: remember those claims by Clintoon that she never saw anything marked as classified in her private email? Well, apparently the lady has rather poor eyesight – or has either very poor reading comprehension or memory. At least 3 of the emails that the FBI received from her lawyer do indeed appear to be marked as being classified. And the total number of emails found to contain classified information – whether marked or unmarked – is now up to around 400.
Oh, and did I mention that one of those emails found to be marked as classified discussed the Iranian nuclear program?
. . .
But hey – what’s the problem? No foreign governments could possibly have any interest in Clintoon’s chit-chat with her aides. I mean, she was only the US SECSTATE. She couldn’t possibly discuss anything in those emails of interest to foreign nations, right?
Yeah, right. And I’m the rightful Emperor of China, too.

I’ve said it before and everybody thinks I’m joking either the NSA has a copy…. NOT !!!!!!
or the better response should be the Chinese or Russians what’s taking so long to get the info ????
This is one of those times when I almost wish shrillary did get elected… so that she can get fired.
“fired upon!”
And I’m the rightful Emperor of China, too.
Attention-members of the Dutch Rudder Gang. This is the clue you have been looking for! Begin your search for Hondo using the Chinese imperial lineage and their descendants now residing in the U.S.
HEY DUTCH RUDDER SHITHEADS….Here’s another clue.
I’m Mr Lee. Or Maybe HONDO IS!!!
Dang…
I’ve known His Majesty Hondo was The Big Chinese Cheese for some time.
I’m shocked he actually admitted it publicly.
BTW, from now on it is proper protocol to address him as Your Majesty followed by 10 bows. Hmmmm, maybe ya need to throw in a curtsy or two as well. I can’t remember his exact instructions.
You’re supposed to Kowtow, which involves beating your head against the ground (hmm-maybe Bernath and company have already met Hondo and beat their heads against the ground so profusely that they suffered brain damage-this explains everything!).
Hondo,
I was listening to two computer geek dudes who taught for the Gub’mint.
They were saying that there is no way that 60k emails were screened effectively to cull out the classified stuff and even so, the new likelihood is that all emails will be recoverable. She is deader than a door nail with the repeated lying. They also alluded to the hacking…if she didn’t have a personal email, or her own server, how did the Russians get an email for hacking…threads of others!!
HRC…lawbreaking for 20 plus years and still running for office…WTF!!!
Fellow techie here, and YUP. There isn’t a good reason as to why Clinton isn’t warming a bench in a cell somewhere right now; shit, if I did what she did, I’d be posting this from fuckin’ Leavenworth.
I worked with a former E6 of in Afghanistan that lost a stripe. His crime? Spent the night in a transient tent in Bagram, picked up a grey cat5 cable off the floor, and plugged it into his laptop. A month later they tracked him down, wiped his HD, and busted him down to E5. The grey cable was connected to a sipr router.
And how exactly did said cable get there?
My understanding was there were a lot of cables running along the floor in the transient tent. Why one of those cables, grey in color, was plugged into sipr was my question. I don’t know the answer. He was an AD soldier when I worked with him. He’s still in. Solid guy. Raw deal.
As Fastjack points out below, were this you, me, or practically anyone else who isn’t politically connected, … we’d be ‘deader than a door nail’. Instead, she’s still the front-runner for the Democrats. It won’t sink her, sadly.
She’s useless, incompetent, and will do and say anything to get elected, and because our politics are so ridiculous in this country, she still stands a half-decent chance at becoming President. Ugh.
Je Suis Hondo….
Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along…
Just another in an endless stream of Clinton scandals from long before Billy was pres….HRC has long been more interested in doing what she believes is right than what is actually right and she’s gotten away with it from day one….an amazing career in that regard if for no other reason than the simple fact she’s managed to have since leaving the White House and pretending to have been a New York resident to run for the senate…what a gift for a scandal ridden fraud.
“Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along…
Just another in an endless stream of Clinton scandals from long before Billy was pres….”
Yuppers. The slimy Hill will not do a second of time behind bars.
I can hear her now:
“Okay, the email marked classified is in my email. For the moment, we’ll put aside that I don’t agree it’s classified. I never saw that email…So, you say that it was opened?…Well, there are times that I have some of my staffers check my email for me and they delete anything I don’t need to see….” On and on and on and on, ad infinitum.
I arrested a guy once who we had on video piling bottles of whiskey into a cart and walking directly to the exit and out the door. When we told him that we had just seen the video, he stone cold denied it was him. That’s Hillary, forever. Never admit culpability.
As I sit here going through the torture of derivative classification training again I ask myself what would happen to me if I had classified on an unclass system. Computer confiscated, hours/days/weeks of additional training, probably some paperwork (at a minimum) but no where in there is my invitation to run for office. Screw her.
I’ll believe in true DOJ justice when I see Shrillery doing the perp walk in front of media cameras.
Other than that, it’s all bluff and bluster, signifying nothing. There’s enough out there on HER, that if it were to have been done by me, I’d be in jail, cooling not just my heels, but my entire body, awaiting trial.
But I guess the Clintoon Mafia is just that, Untouchables (wait – – – isn’t that also an Asian Indian sect?)
OMG! You’re being a meanie and a poopie head, Hondo. Hillary is, like, way cool. She totally has more important things to think about than state secrets. Stuff like SNL skits, and yoga pants, and where to pen the flying monkeys…
Minor clarification – if the server was ‘rooted’ before the ‘anti-malware’ software was added, then the same actor wouldn’t need to attack it again on those later dates. If anything, they’d shore up the defenses and leave themselves a back door, that way depriving other actors from similar access. If the pre-2013 and post-2013 attacks can be traced to the same singular interests, then they probably didn’t gain access. This says nothing of the others who may have, though.
The truly capable sorts of course get in without being discovered in the first place, or get in and push blame on other actors.
Not necessarily. Some distributed malware periodically uses bi-directional communications between control station and co-opted clients. As I recall, Conficker was a malware instance that had periodic communications between control and co-opted remote clients. I’m relatively sure there are a fair number of others.
What was detected in late 2013 and 2014 on Clintoon’s private serve may well have been initial attempts at infection. However, depending on the sophistication of the security software installed and its exact settings, they could also theoretically have been attempts to update/poll an existing malware client previously resident on the machine.
You could well be correct, but without a detailed forensic examination of the actual machine (or an image), I don’t believe we can tell one way or the other from the information made public.
Wait wait, your majesty….you are the rightful heir of China.
And Dennis Chevalier was a LTC in Desert Storm.
And Daniel Bernath was a CPO.
And Dallas Wittenfield is a respected individual.
And ….
Well, nothing will fix the fact that anyone associated with All Points Logistics was and is and will forever be a piece of shit.
At this point, is there anyone who hasn’t gotten their hands on her emails? I mean other than the people of the United States.
