Beest Sent Dozens Of Emails On Her BlackBerry From Russia And China, Raising Risk Profile
2016-03-17
[Daily Caller] Hillary Clinton sent at least three dozen emails during seven different trips to China, Vietnam and Russia as secretary of state, a Daily Caller investigation reveals.
So Judicial Watch can subpoena the Russian records now, right?
Communicating through a personal email account, which Clinton had synced up to a private email server and a non-government-issued BlackBerry, put the Democratic presidential candidate’s communications at risk, especially in nations with robust spy agencies and government-owned telecoms companies like China and Russia, a cyber security specialist tells TheDC.

The risk would have been even greater if Clinton failed to use what’s known as a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, a so-called "middleware" program that encrypts emails and other information, says Stephen Perciballi, a cyber security expert who formerly worked for BlackBerry retailer Softchoice.

If she did not, "it puts her at more risk," Perciballi told TheDC.

It is unclear how Clinton’s server was configured. The device, which is now in the FBI’s possession, was kept at Clinton’s home in New York during her tenure at State. It was managed by former State Department IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

"Was that server just sitting there wide open, sitting on her Comcast cable connection?" Perciballi asked. "We don’t know, and that’s really the problem."

"Is she building up a fortress of security in her basement? The sheer fact that she did something as irresponsible as this with her work email, I’m guessing no."

The State Department declined to tell TheDC if Clinton utilized a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
From a 'damage assessment' standpoint, one must assume the worst and plan accordingly.
"There are reviews and inquiries looking into this matter generally and we are not going to get ahead of that," agency spokesman John Kirby told TheDC.

#6  If it's proven Clinton not only "could have" but indeed "did" comprimise security it's a game changer.

Therefore, it will NOT be proven.

#5  If it's proven Clinton not only "could have" but indeed "did" comprimise security it's a game changer. It's likely there's people that already know the answer to that question. Sources and methods...

#4  Russian officials are not on the witness list of Judicial Watch however maybe the discovery process will get to the bottom of Hillary's continuous prevarication. Maybe U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan should be considered for a SCOTUS appointment down the line.

Witness list

#3  people just do not seem to comprehend the national security risk

A lot of people do. But the ones who don't say, "Everybody does it," and "It's just a witch hunt, like Bill Clinton's bimbo eruptions." Point out that some of those bimbos were respectable professional women who claimed to have been raped, and this is the first time they've heard anything like that, so it must not be true.

#2  It is unclear how Clinton’s server was configured.

With Mr. Pagliano' assistance, clarity should be forthcoming.

#1  Too bad we can't hack the KGB (successor) files to find out what was in Hillary's missing e-mails...
Seriously, people just do not seem to comprehend the national security risk posed by her indifference to internet security - count on the Russians and Chinese having sensitive or compromising Clinton e-mails (personal or government) which they WILL use to 'control' her should she be elected President.
