Chinese company reportedly hacked Clinton’s server

| August 29, 2018

Reportedly, a Chinese state-owned company hacked into then SecState Hillary Clinton’s personal e-mail server, allowing them to receive a copy of her every message in real time.

This allegation came from two separate sources, according to The Daily Caller.

The code was embedded on her server in upstate New York, and sent a “courtesy copy” of her messages and documents. I imagine the irony in that is lost on Hillary and her crew.

Fox News reports a source confirmed the details of The Caller’s reporting, stating the code was discovered in 2015 by the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), which in turn alerted the FBI of the hack.

And then it gets interesting.

The source told Fox News the hack was from a Chinese company, describing it as a front for Chinese intelligence.

A second source briefed on the matter told Fox News that officials outside of the FBI indicated code on the Clinton server suggested a foreign source was receiving copies of emails in real time.

ICIG was so concerned by the revelation that officials drove over to the FBI to inform agents — including anti-Trump agent Peter Strzok — of the development after it was discovered via the emails’ metadata.

The second source knowledgeable on the matter told Fox News that officials outside of the FBI indicated code on the Clinton server suggested a foreign source was receiving copies of emails in real time.

The hacking report caught the attention late Tuesday of President Trump, who warned that the FBI and DOJ should act or “their credibility will be forever gone.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded with, “This isn’t the first time we’ve heard similar allegations. China is a staunch defender of cybersecurity. We firmly oppose and crack down on any forms of internet attacks and the stealing of secrets,”

The ICIG and the FBI declined to comment.

Clinton’s office did not respond to a request for comment, but a spokesman told The Daily Caller, “The FBI spent thousands of hours investigating, and found no evidence of intrusion. That’s a fact.”

Fox News reported in March that Strzok was advised of an irregularity in the metadata of Clinton’s server that suggested a possible breach, but no follow-up action was taken.

Further, a May 2016 email from Strzok, obtained by Fox News earlier this year, said “we know foreign actors obtained access” to some Clinton emails, including at least one “secret” message “via compromises of the private email accounts” of Clinton staffers.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, asked Strzok in a House Oversight Committee hearing in July whether he was briefed about an anomaly on Clinton’s emails found by ICIG officials.

“You were given that information, and you did nothing with it,” Gohmert told Strzok in July.

Strzok said he remembered meeting with the ICIG officials, but did not remember the contents of the meeting and that every allegation was forwarded to experts who looked at it carefully.

“It’s critically important,” he said, when asked about the significance of the server revelation. “There are countries that would pay a tremendous amount of money to know what Clinton was saying, doing and thinking through her emails, what she’s doing, who she’s going to meet, what she thought about meetings, not necessarily classified but critically important and those emails were compromised and people like Strzok, when they were briefed, knew this would devastate her chances of being elected and they weren’t about to do anything to hurt those chances.”

And to tie it all up with a bow, then FBI Director James Comey concluded that he would not recommend charges to the DOJ.

It has been said, over and again, had you or I been so careless, we would be under the jail.

The Hildebeest’s homebrew server hacked in real time by chicom intelligence? GOSH, THAT CAN’T BE; SHE SAID SHE WIPED IT WITH A CLOTH!…///

“China is a staunch defender of cybersecurity. We firmly oppose and crack down on any forms of internet attacks and the stealing of secrets”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… How was he able to say that with a straight face?

“…China is a staunch defender of [our own] cybersecurity. We firmly oppose and crack down on any forms of [hostile] internet attacks and the stealing of [our own] secrets…”

…What the Chicom dude really meant…

Seems to match well with the very next story on FoxNews, how the Chinese just stole Navy plans for a new sub based missile.

I hope ‘SOMEONE’ was smart enough to leave important details OUT of those plans so that in case they were stolen, wouldn’t do them any good?

Wide Load and her troupe are traveling slugs, leaving a trail of slime wherever they crawl or, in her case, waddles. Every day now there is a new revelation of how the corrupt leadership of the FBI obtained FISA warrants, disbelieving the very factual support upon which warrants were based. Comey’s legal inaction against Wide Load stank and now what were mere suspicion and speculation is getting factual confirmation. He was in the tank for her, as were others, some not known yet, in the FBI and CIA. If 1/100th of this shit occurred under a Republican, there would be a general shutdown of gov’t, strikes, massive protests, all with the media leading the way. But what have we got instead? Stormy Daniels and Lyin’ Lanny. Thankfully, the American people are a helluvalot smarter on the whole than the media think we are.

Nothing will be done with this, but the fake dossier got an investigation.

The modern equivalent of “the dog ate my homework,” except this one has worked so far. It has taken a while, and it may take a while longer, but the truth will eventually become so apparent that it can no longer be excused away. Too many real patriots still working at all the offending agencies that made copies of stuff just in case, and other peeps who simply did so in case they ever have to protect their own backsides.

Good will win. Evil will go down in flames. With the current whining and other silly stuff coming out of the left, we really seem to be getting close to the end of their reign of terror. They are self-destructing and are totally baffled that what they have always done just isn’t serving them well now.

Ex-PH2

Doesn’t answer that question still muddling around in the background:

Why do these idiots hate/despise/detest real freedom so much that they will do anything to destroy it?

I have never and will never understand it.

11B-Mailclerk

Because people like you will not obey your betters.

It is really that simple.

They -know- they are right, and that -smart- people agree with them and do as they bid. Those who do -not- are stupid and/or evil, and the world has to be saved from those who are stupid and evil. And they -know- they are right because they are -smart- and learned the truth from smart people.

The True Believers know they are -right-.

The corrupt frauds know that their system is best for graft.

….

They will destroy the world proving they are smart enough to rule it. A thousand tries will not convince them they are wrong. Another hundred million corpses will not convince them.

Ex-PH2

Well, then, it’s a good thing I can cook, isn’t it?

That ‘your betters’ thing that rattles around in their heads? Staling killed off his 12 most senior Army officers because they were HIS betters and he knew it. They weren’t afraid of him. Ergo, they died.

They all worship false gods, you know. Vaingloriousness is no way to go through life.

(After I get done laughing, I’ll have some ice cream and reflect on the sheer stupidity of the LeftReds.)

Hitlery and Stalin have at least one thing in common, those seen as threats to power by either suddenly turned up deader than a ddornail, Stalin’s victims died via Gulag, hanging or firing squads to name a few, Hitlery’s via “suicide” like Vince Foster along with “car accidents” and other things. One series of articles by the Wall Street Journal called “Whitewater Flu” chronicled over 140 people with connections to the Clintons dying and I bet once the truth is told about them they’ll make Richard Nixon look like an Altar Boy!

The truth is out there, but what y’all wanna bet we won’t see it in our life time? Slime gotta be slime.

Good question, I think its because they are puppets of the NWO and they have the slightest interest in America’s “freedom”, they want America destroyed and enslaved…what do you think all the phony gun control is about? no guns, no defense! Let’s never be deceived, the NWO is a front organization for satan! just as the hilldabeast is a witch and attended coven meetings in L.A.! i,ho

Ex-PH2

Why are there no surprises left in the world?

Are the LeftRed media going to do anything with this? Not a chance. It makes them look even sillier than they do already, because it wasn’t the Russians, after all, was it? No, it was the Chinese takeout restaurant Chooeey Lee’s down at the corner next to Walgreen’s. Great hot and sour soup, plus the plug-in spot for hooking up to old bubblebutt’s server.

This is why I think courier dogss and passenger pigeons might be a better choice.

Oh, and while I’m thinking about it, plastic surgery can only go so far in covering up the fact that someone is aging rapidly and very badly.

Ex, that fat worn out old broad has more chins than a Chinese phone book. I am not holding my breath for ol’ wide load to get sent to prison along with ol’ BJ, but I can still dream can’t I???????

If some of those “pirate” videos of her showing her debilitated state are any indication, I think her health is so compromised by something that she can hardly function.

Remember that video of her in India, slipping on the stone steps of a temple? It was as though she couldn’t feel her feet and judge how to put them down flat.

11B-Mailclerk

Vodka?

Ex-PH2

More likely a symptom of whatever is making her age so rapidly now. Loss of balance and not being able to plant your feet flat are a symptom of something other than alcohol.

Just remember to breathe through one nostril at a time. It’s refreshing, according to her.

Ret_25X

yes, it might also be a symptom of heroin.

It is all the rage with the “in” set these days, you know.

heh heh

Gives me a great idea for a movie…”Hillary chases the Dragon”…or “watch that step!”

I crack myself up…

Wilted Willy

I just hope someday they release the video of her losing on election night! I hear it was quite the show!!

Good chance her vital signs were monitored via onboard medical devices under her shelter half. I would love to see her BP and heart rate.

That’s because she wasn’t familiar with her feet being on the ground, they were usually “in her mouth!” lol. I mean “what difference does it make”?;)

It’s a wonder someone hasn’t just thrown a bucket of water on Hitlery and watched her melt.

Maybe this is all a bad dream…

We’re going to wake one day in the not so far distant future to Mueller debriefing Congress that the Trump Russian “collusion” investigation was just a ruse and that he’s getting ready to indict Hillary and her strap-hangers…

Yeah, I know, we could only hope for such an outcome…

John Klem

I have known that all along and written about it on FB many times

Sure would be nice to see some people held accountable for this. I’m not going to hold my breath.

What next, they going to find a way to blame this on Cuba, Iran, or the “hacker collective” Anonymous? It’s anyone’s fault except the people ultimately responsible for properly handling sensitive state secrets.

Of course China hacked the server! I’m sure Russia hacked it, the Libyans, and even some of our allies. She might as well have just posted all her emails in the open on the front page of Google. I’d wager this piss-poor self-setup email server was known the world over in the intel community.

Mick

My predictions:

– She’ll continue to get away with what she did without ever facing charges/prosecution ‘because she’s Hillary’.

– She’ll continue to appear on the talk show and speaking circuits (while raking in lots of $$$) and in Democtratic political campaigns ‘because she’s Hillary’.

– She’ll continue to sneer at all of us ignorant Deplorables who don’t appreciate her self-proclaimed brilliance and greatness ‘because she’s Hillary’.

– She’ll continue to be feted as The Queen of American Elitist Libotard Royalty by the libotards and the libotard media ‘because she’s Hillary’.

– She’ll continue to do whatever she wants to do without ever worrying about consequences ‘because she’s Hillary’.

– She won’t ever shut up and go away, ‘because she’s Hillary’.

Ex-PH2

…and some day, she’ll die and no one will remember her name.

I’m sure THAT’S JUST what she hates the most, especially because she DID NOT get elected as President!

Well, I guess the chi’s know all about her private matters like yoga routines, her daughter’s wedding and her mother’s funeral.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the chi’s released them. (alas, I dream too much).

What’s the chances there be some pron involved. Or at least some unmolested jpegs.
I’d say pretty good.

QMC

I work in Government now (non-DOD agency). I repeat the same mistakes, I go to jail. No second guessing about it.

Hack Stone

Hack Stone just wants to know what the Chinese intend to do with all of those recipes and yoga schedules that they siphoned from Hillary’s server?

LC

I’d be shocked if foreign intelligence DIDN’T crack the server, but doing it in a way that modifies the metadata of a message seems .. sloppy and unlikely. It’s not necessary and easily discoverable, so I’m a bit skeptical until more technical details are known.

Not skeptical that it was hacked, but skeptical of this version of events.

11B-Mailclerk

That method is actully rather non-obvious, if no one is paying attention.

It is also “plausibly deniable” as it looks like a garden-variety amateur doing commercial espionage.

It also would be par for the course for some -other- nation-state actor to have compromised a Chi-com company’s email system, redirecting it yet again to a third party they controlled. Or, to have compromised the Chi-com firm to capture the Chinese espionage for another actor.

Also could have been a message, that someone owned some -very- potent blackmail material.

So it is -entirely- plausible.

FatCircles0311

So when is she going to prison for knowingly facilitating espionage?

Garold

I don’t believe it’ll ever happen. The Clinton’s are heros to the leftists and will do anything to protect them. Hell, Billy-boy got away with rape. The MSM yawned and looked the other way, later calling it “old news”.

the hilldabitch and pervert bubba had so many people on their payroll, all lowlife vermin, that some will crack and spill the beans, then the others will join in to try and save “their” ass…”there is no honor among thieves”! imho

Naturally the FBI denies the story;

Why wouldn’t they? If they admit it, they know their image will consist of Moe, Larry, and Curly. They have been claiming there is no evidence of actual hacking for two years.

Garold

Yeah, but their house of cards is folding in on them. Hopefully soon they will be turning on each other. It doesn’t mean they’ll go to jail like other dirty cops do.

StrongerTogether

Trump paid the Russians to hire the Chinese so he could manipulate the FBI to unknowingly create a false document that would result in him being wire tapped so he would have an excuse to blame everything on Obama and Hillary.

Trump is evil.

ChipNASA

Great.

Well played. That kind of nonsensical circular logic will soon see you as a pundit on CNN and/or MSNBC!

Everybody hacks anybody they can, and the Chinese are no different.
There will be no peace until the country has equal justice, be you a Clinton, or some squid on a U-boat. That’s not happening under our current impotent AG. The Chinese taking Hillary’s emails, real time, is no worse than everything ending up on Anthony Weiner’s personal laptop. Every government, friend or foe, must have all of her computer.

HMC Ret

Old news, Bush’s fault and you’re a racist, sexist pig. The Clintoons are coated in teflon. They can do no wrong. The media will see to that.

Ken.T.

Now careful with all these accusations against the Chines Communists Home Grown Movements of very high integrity and honesty. If this keeps up the chows will close down their Chines Slop Shops and there will be no more Chicken Chop Suey or Dumpling Noodles. The country will be stuck with Mexican Chillies and Irish Stew, and who wants that for fast food.

Cthulhu

Does it matter to you all that this story is likely false given past and current explicit statements by the FBI denying any evidence exists of Chinese intrusion on Clinton’s server?

Hondo

Given the FBI’s track record concerning the Clintoon email server fiasco, I fail to see how their purported denials (you cited zero sources for same) should be given greater weight than reported statements from individuals in the ICIG to the contrary.

What bothers me most is that Clintoon and her cronies have to date gotten away with clear violation of Federal law regarding mishandling of classified defense information. And that is NOT an offense that requires specific intent; failure to properly safeguard such info, through accident or neglect also renders an individual culpable. Ditto failure to report knowledge of same.

Hondo

Addendum: for completeness, here’s the governing Federal law (see para (f) in the following):

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793

David

See Garold’s cite above for source material. I was going to post it but saw his first.

Hondo

Yes, Garold did. That doesn’t alter the fact that the individual to whom I was replying did not cite or reference it in any way, but merely asserted the statement as fact with no further explanation. Nor did he explain why the FBI’s assertions should be given any more weight than statements attributed to IC IG office officials.

From Garold’s article, here’s what the current FBI statement says (emphasis added):

The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised,” the official said.

That statement is true if there was no compromise. However, that statement is also technically true if another agency discovered the compromise and notified the FBI of that fact. As I read the latest news on the matter, those latest reports indicate that it was the IC- not the FBI – that discovered the code causing Clintoon’s unauthorized server to provide copies of Clintoon emails to the Chinese firm linked to China’s intelligence services; and it was the IC IG office reported that fact to the FBI.

I’m guessing someone at the FBI’s PR department is “spinning” this in order to protect the FBI’s image and reputation, which they reportedly jealously guard. If so, they’re using a quite well-known technique to do so: tell a story that is misleading as hell, but which is technically true and can be “clarified” later as required.

OWB

Besides all that, their statement that THE FBI found no evidence does not address whether individuals within the FBI might have, or if anyone actually looked for or at any such evidence.

LC

As I read the latest news on the matter, those latest reports indicate that it was the IC- not the FBI – that discovered the code causing Clintoon’s unauthorized server to provide copies of Clintoon emails to the Chinese firm linked to China’s intelligence services; and it was the IC IG office reported that fact to the FBI.

I’ve been traveling, so maybe I’ve missed news on this, but the FBI is part of the IC, and more specifically, they were the ones tasked with investigating the server. As of yet, we have no confirmation that the ICIG report actually said what Rep. Gomert says it did. This is the same guy who talks about dastardly terrorists who are so clever they have children in the US just to have natural-born terrorists. Even though, as anyone who has ever had children can tell you, you can’t dictate what they grow up to be.

Personally, given the choice of believing an official FBI statement (an agency lead by Republicans, and, like most law-enforcement, probably more conservative than liberal), or believing one guy, known to spout off questionable things, and without anyone else seeming to take up the same cry,… I’m going with the FBI.

I’d love to see that part of the ICIG report, to be honest. If he’s put it out there, there’s no need to keep that portion classified, so release that bit. Then we’ll know more.

Hondo

I’ve been traveling, so maybe I’ve missed news on this, but the FBI is part of the IC, . . . .

Um, no. Only a part of the FBI is part of the USIC – specifically, the FBI’s Intelligence Branch. The remainder of the FBI is not.

My comment above stands. If indeed another component of the USIC besides the FBI’s Intel Branch discovered the code compromising Clintoon’s email server, the FBI statement I quoted would be technically accurate – while being misleading by design. And another part of the IC discovering the compromise is exactly what has been reported here.

rgr769

How could the FBI know whether Clinton’s illegal servers were “compromised” when they were never forensically examined because they were cleaned with Bleachbit? Ditto for the DNC servers which it refused to let the FBI examine. This FBI assertion is just more cover-up, period.

Perry Gaskill

Hondo, something to consider is that it was close to a foregone conclusion that Hillary would be elected. If the FBI investigators had pushed hard on the email server allegations, it could have meant facing Hillary’s wrath once she was in office.

Although it’s usually assumed FBI figures were acting out of political ideology, it seems to me at least part of it might have been a matter of self interest and protecting careers.

Another thing I’ve never quite understood is how Hillary’s IT guy, the one who set up the server, has somehow managed to get a free pass on this stuff.

Hondo

So, in other words: you’re saying that selected FBI officials were intentionally and willfully derelict in performing their duty to investigate allegations of violation of Federal law regarding the Clintoon email server due to perceived negative career effects. That could indeed be the case. And if so, IMO those individuals need to be identified – then terminated for cause (dereliction of duty).

Regarding the server’s admin: he may or may not be legally clear.

IMO he’s likely legally clear
if his terms of employment included language to the effect of “provide the email service, but DO NOT monitor email content”, and if he in fact followed his employment agreement. (This was a private email server; Clintoon would have been within her rights to demand such on privacy grounds, as well as to tell him to give an account to pretty much anyone she wanted to have one.) Then as I read it he would be in much the same position as a telephone company or ISP employee whose facilities were used for criminal purposes without their knowledge.

If, however, if that admin was told enough to know that the server was being used to process classified material . . . well, that’s a different matter entirely. Pretty sure sure that makes the individual a member of a criminal conspiracy if he then continues employment.

Not sure how that would play out in the case of “reason to suspect, but no clear proof”.

And yet, she’s still not in jail.

mr.sharkman

‘Hack’ is too stong of a word.

The server and #Killary’s Blackberry were both lacking any encryption, so any comms traffic to/from could be read like an open book. And once word got out among the spooky tyoes, 6+ foreign intel agencies were lining up for some easy comms interception.

It’s far worse than that overall, but that’s all I am comfortable saying on the matter.
