 says he writes emails "with the awareness" that Russian and Chinese hackers are likely reading them, he revealed in an interview with CBS News on Tuesday.

"It is very likely. It is not ... outside the realm of possibility and we know they have attacked a number of American interests over the course of the last few days," Kerry said, referring to recent reports that Russian hackers attacked the Pentagon and Chinese cyberspies were reading US officials' emails.

"It's very possible ... and I certainly write things with that awareness," Kerry added. He did not specify whether he was referring to personal email, government email, or both.

Chinese cyberspies have reportedly been reading the private emails of Obama-administration officials and "top national security and trade officials" since 2010.

The report comes amid the ongoing issue of Hillary Clinton

#7  Lucid, and insofar as he can assume that Russia and China (among others) have penetrated the State Department network, probably correct. Whether or not he writes his emails keeping that in mind I don't know.

..but certainly, never the American people. I'm aided in that assurance by our own Ministry of Truth, formerly referred to as the MSM, which will insure that any mistakes, errors in judgement, blatant idiocy, or treason will never reach the eyes or ears of the general public.
