JUNE 28--The broad spear phishing campaign targeting the e-mail accounts of Hillary Clinton campaign officials has yielded hackers a wide assortment of internal memos and other communications, according to documents provided to The Smoking Gun.
The attack--which investigators believe is a Russian government operation--has recently focused on the Gmail accounts of scores of Hillary for America staffers, according to SecureWorks, a research firm that published its findings earlier this month.
The firm contends that the hacking campaign has targeted “individuals managing Clinton's communications, travel, campaign finances, and advising her on policy.” The assault, which reportedly began in mid-March, relied on a spoofed Gmail log-in page in an attempt to deceive victims.
That gambit tricked at least one Clinton volunteer, Sarah Hamilton, records show. Hamilton’s Gmail account appears to have been breached in late-March and hackers copied a large swath of campaign e-mails, memos, and documents. Hamilton, former spokesperson for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, has aided the Clinton campaign’s press operation. Contacted today, Hamilton (pictured below) declined comment on the hack.
As with recent online attacks on the Democratic National Committee, TSG learned of the Hamilton hack from “Guccifer 2.0,” who claims to be a Romanian “hacktivist” and solitary “hacker with a laptop.” He has dismissed the contention of assorted security researchers that he is part of a Russian operation as a “Total fail!!!”
The breach of Hamilton’s Gmail account provided hackers with a glimpse at the inner workings of a massive presidential campaign--from schedules and talking points to briefing books and assorted logistics. But the records are absent the kind of intel for which hackers were probably searching, like policy discussions and confidential deliberations.

None of this matters, since Cankles will get a free pass.IMO
Perhaps she can have some kind of reset
Now the hackers can release Hillary’s emails about Benghazi and we can find out what REALLY happened. Gowdy, it seems was unable to do so.
Hope you all enjoy this special live musical performance found on Hillary’s secret server:

(From the article.)
In a series of e-mails, members of the ropeline platoon reported on the movement of journalists, especially Dan Merica, a CNN producer covering the Clinton campaign.
After an advance staffer wrote to report that an aggressive French journalist was “at stage right,” the Merica tracking kicked in.
“Watch out for Dan Merica center right,” a press aide warned. Eight minutes later, an advance team member wrote, “Dan Merica stage left.” A minute later Hamilton advised colleagues, “French journos and dan merica heading to stage right.” Moments later, a new Merica update came from an advance team member: “Dan America is on backstage bleachers.” Less than a minute later, the staffer gave an update: “I’m with dan America on back stage bleachers.”
It appears Merica was being secretly tracked by campaign workers concerned that the CNN employee might detonate a question if he got too close to any of the Clintons.
(The Clinton staff is like the Stasi.)
....more likely, unwilling to do so.
Man, this woman is a walking IT security nightmare.
Third post, FUD shill. "None of it matters." Boom.
You creatures crawl all over FR, every damn time more info is revealed about her. Lot of money being spent on your particular op.
.... These emails only reveal the typical inside campaign stuff. The Liberals will accuse Trump of hacking their campaign emails. Possibly a fabricated event to garner further talking negative talking points for the Democrats against the Republican candidate..
Hillary complained Bernie Sanders team got into her stuff-—but Bernie has never revealed hat they discovered.
That's appropriate, since Hitlery is a hack.
You may be new to these parts, but some of us have been around long enough to know that Billary is protected.
None of the scandals from Travelgate to Whitwater to Filegate, to Chinagate to Monicagate to Pardongate, and now, Emailgate have stuck to them.
I have my opinions about why, but mostly I lean toward the 900+ FBI files Craig Livingstone procurred that landed in their possession. Add that to the MLM looking the other way to protect them.
Then, there's their standard M.O., which is to get the bad news out in early enough in the election cycle that by the time the election does roll around, they dismiss stories like this with a wave of the hand and the comment, 'That's old news that was discussed months ago. Next question!'
Now, you can believe that duckman, and probably myself, are paid shills and that's your prerogative. But, if we are, then we've got to be pretty darn smart to have evaded detection by the mods, and even JimRob, himself, for the last 15-20 years that we've been on this site.
Then again, maybe we are just FReepers like yourself.
Of course she will. If lynch indicts, Obama will be Hillary’s first witness. And since he knew about her emails, he goes down too. No way she gets indicted. However, Barky will will still give her a blanket pardon, just in case trump wins.
