| Inside the scramble to cover up Clinton's private email server |
| 2016-09-19 |
| [NY Post] Computers from China and Russia tried to attack Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, according to never-released e-mails from the Denver company that set up and maintained the system. And other internal e-mails show the IT executives fretted about being ordered to purge e-mails and scrambled to distance themselves from what they believed was the former first lady "covering up some shaddy [shady] s- -t." In a gallows-humor message, one called it "Hillary’s coverup operation." The FBI in July chastised Clinton and her aides over the use of the private server, saying, "They were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." But the agency declined to recommend charges. The FBI report noted there were many hacking attempts into the system, both while Clinton was secretary of state and afterward when Platte River Networks took over the administration of the home server. The agency said none had been successful, and it never named the hackers or their points of origin. But multiple internal Platte River e-mails reviewed by The Post show that computers in China tried on three occasions in 2014 to log into Clinton’s server and a computer in Russia tried once in 2013. The internal communications also revealed how the execs belatedly tightened security on Clinton’s now-controversial home server and frantically sought to "cover our asses" when news broke that the former secretary of state’s communications were deleted. "Any chance you found an old e-mail with their directives to cut the backups back in Oct‐-Feb? . . . If we had that e-mail, we are golden," Platte River IT consultant Bill Thornton wrote to colleagues on Aug. 19, 2015. |

| #8 Cover up, like with a furniture slip? The fact that virtually nothing was made nationally of the "Wiped? Like with a cloth?" comment is a damning statement in regard to BOTH parties. Not a damn soul with any understanding of technology should have allowed that *stupid* statement to go unchallenged. The fact that the (alleged) opposition party never pressed that evil bitch on that comment tells you that they care far too much about re-election and far too little about our country. |

| #4 But if they were successful then they wouldn't look like a cracking attempt! Unless the looked at EVERY authentication and it's IP and verified it was legitimate... Which I seriously doubt occurred. |

| #3 "The agency said none had been successful, and it never named the hackers or their points of origin." When asked about specifics Comey said he couldn't remember, and that his mind was jello. |

| #1 Any decent hacker would use a VPN and with a VPN, you cannot tell where the computer is. |
