Clinton Homebrew Email Server was Connected in Ways that Raised Risks of Hacking

Pathological liar and political hack Hillary Clinton's homebrew email server was even less secure than we were led to believe. The Benghazi lies and cover-up just keep on going drip, drip, and 'you've got mail'/

AP Exclusive: Clinton server's software had hacking risk

WASHINGTON (AP) — The private email server running in Hillary Rodham Clinton's home basement when she was secretary of state was connected to the Internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers, according to data and documents reviewed by The Associated Press. 

Clinton's server, which handled her personal and State Department correspondence, appeared to allow users to connect openly over the Internet to control it remotely, according to detailed records compiled in 2012. Experts said the Microsoft remote desktop service wasn't intended for such use without additional protective measures, and was the subject of U.S. government and industry warnings at the time over attacks from even low-skilled intruders. 

Records show that Clinton additionally operated two more devices on her home network in Chappaqua, New York, that also were directly accessible from the Internet. One contained similar remote-control software that also has suffered from security vulnerabilities, known as Virtual Network Computing, and the other appeared to be configured to run websites. 

The new details provide the first clues about how Clinton's computer, running Microsoft's server software, was set up and protected when she used it exclusively over four years as secretary of state for all work messages. Clinton's privately paid technology adviser, Bryan Pagliano, has declined to answer questions about his work from congressional investigators, citing the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. 

Some emails on Clinton's server were later deemed top secret, and scores of others included confidential or sensitive information. Clinton has said that her server featured "numerous safeguards," but she has yet to explain how well her system was secured and whether, or how frequently, security updates were applied.

MTP: Chuck Todd Asks Hillary Clinton About Email & Transparency

Hillary Clinton  made an appearance on NBC Meet The Press Sunday to field some questions about her 'homebrew' e-mail server and transparency.  Chuck Todd, an ally of the Democrats pitched a few softball questions to Hillary and didn't pursue many follow-up questions.  A segment of the MTP interview follows:


Chuck Todd's ratings are low for a reason and allowing Hillary Clinton to spin her story made the segment almost laughable. Todd mentions the Washington Post piece about her emails but doesn't call out this Hillary lie or others. What about The 8 Times Clinton Told A Disproven Story About Her Emails ?  Instead, Chuck Todd basically let Hillary Clinton practice her soundbites and avoided any critical counter-punches.

Hillary can't decide how responsible she is for her emails....

 Fortunately, My previous blogs have taken a few jabs at the subject.

Another 57 Clinton Email Threads Contain Classified Foreign Governments' Information

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's stonewalling, coverups and lies that began with Benghazi and continue with her personal email server contents are now hard to ignore, even for the most loyal Democratic party and Hillary Clinton supporter.  Information on Hillary Clinton's unencrypted homebrew email server that is 'born classified' was transmitted and stored in violation of the rules and regulations of the State Department and 18 U.S. Code § 793 of  Federal Law.

Will the Democrats and the Obama administration hold one of their own accountable for their actions and to the rules of the BIG government that they adore? Obviously not.  Does progressive mean sheer hypocrisy, blatantly dishonest and above the law ?  Of course it does. The failure to appoint a special prosecutor or independent counsel and to bring Hillary Clinton before a grand jury means there is no Justice in Obama's Justice Department and this Administration truly is lawless.

Remember when Hillary Clinton lied and said there was no classified information on her private email server? The homebrew email server and its contents the State Dept. helped Hillary Clinton hide from the oversight of Congress and numerous FOIA requests?

An excerpt from Reuters on Hillary Clinton's latest email scandal document dump: 

"Here's my personal email," Hillary Clinton wrote to U.S. special envoy George Mitchell on a summer Sunday in 2010 as he telephoned one European official after another in an effort to keep peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians on track. 

"Pls use this for reply," Clinton wrote in her email, sent from the clintonemail.com account she set up on an unsecured, private server in her New York home for her work as secretary of state. 

Over the following hours, Mitchell wrote back to Clinton with summaries of his conversations, including one with Spain's foreign minister, who had briefed him on discussions with Palestinian leaders. The State Department has redacted the summary of the minister's thoughts, saying it is classified information. 

The exchange is among dozens in a new batch of Clinton's emails released this week that shed further light on how Clinton handled information while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. 

Clinton, front-runner to be the Democratic candidate in the November 2016 presidential election, has faced steady criticism from political opponents since it emerged in March that she used a private set-up rather than a government-issued state.gov email address. 

Clinton has maintained she did nothing wrong. She says she sent no information via email that was classified at the time, and received no material marked that way. 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining Clinton's server to see whether information was mishandled. No evidence has emerged suggesting Clinton's email practices harmed national security. 

A review last month by Reuters of previously released Clinton emails found 30 email threads that the State Department has marked to show they include information shared in confidence by foreign government officials, from prime ministers to spy chiefs. 

U.S. government regulations examined by Reuters say this sort of information, whether written or spoken, must be classified from the start, and handled through secure, government-controlled channels. 

The Clinton-Mitchell correspondence is one of 57 email threads found by Reuters in the latest batch of emails released on Monday that the State Department has marked as including the same type of information.

In all the 87 email threads examined by Reuters, the State Department has blanked out the confidential information in the public copies, adding the classification code "1.4(B)", denoting foreign government information.

Hillary Clinton's denials are pathetic. A classic example was when she denied being subpoenaed.

The State Department and Hillary Clinton have stonewalled and lied about Benghazi from the beginning and the fact that the State Department and Hillary Clinton concealed her use of a homebrew email server for years were more than suspicious. Deleting tens of thousands of emails and wiping the server while under investigation and subpoena aren't criminal ? The ever-changing story of the classification of emails and the wordplay around "marked classified" aren't credible when the information that Hillary Clinton finally turned over shows that the information was "born classified".

Of course, Hillary really has nothing to hide.......
