WASHINGTON (AP) Hundreds of U.S. government employees including some with sensitive jobs in the White House, Congress and law enforcement agencies used Internet connections in their federal offices to access and pay membership fees to the cheating website Ashley Madison, The Associated Press has learned.
The AP traced many of the accounts exposed by hackers back to federal workers. They included at least two assistant U.S. attorneys; an information technology administrator in the Executive Office of the President; a division chief, an investigator and a trial attorney in the Justice Department; a government hacker at the Homeland Security Department and another DHS employee who indicated he worked on a U.S. counterterrorism response team.

Yeah: Stupid and arrogant. Or arrogant and stupid. Take your pick. Washington DC "culture" (which spills over into the surrounding MD and VA counties) is a poisonous brew of arrogance and stupidity.
Hell, in D.C., the odds are the wife is on there, too. Wouldn't it be hilarious for a husband and wife to have been set up together on an "affair."
Any or all of those things are possible. I can't say any more.
You have been traced. The OPM will be in touch shortly.
Of course.
Not when it detracts from the central focus, at least that which should be. Post this article right along with that one of that sick fag the WH just hired to be Diversity Perversion or whatever and this AM stuff is kindergarten.
This whole thing is just a diversion away from some very unpleasant facts with Clinton, et al. right now, and the weekend news cycle can only handle just one. Which one would you prefer?
They know where to find me, I know that for a fact.
I expressed this on another thread: You can't fix stupid. Anyone with even an ounce of common sense brings their own private handheld (etc) to work and puts the personal stuff on that instead of the work one. And they NEVER put work-related stuff on that personal computer. The employer shouldn't even know it exists.
I wonder if something like this became the breach through which some of the foreign hacking entered our ‘secured’ government systems.
Perhaps if Edward Snowden is lurking here, he might give us his opinion.
Did you make a thread on your utmost concern?
I didn’t have to. There are already ones here.
Your response seems to imply that I should screw off and go elsewhere because I don’t think this AM thing is that big a deal comparatively with other matters.
If that’s the case, then who is the one who gives permission to comment on any given thread? You?
Lol...I received an alert when I brought up CNBC.
If it’s a mainstream news story about some sex scandal, I can sometimes get a block on “Sexual content. Website blocked”...LOL
How about some SPECIFIC names and positions within the Government?
I'm trying to find my "surprised face," but I apparently misplaced it...

Trump should wait until the story takes root a little more before running with it. If he jumps in too soon that will guarantee that the MSM will try and bury it.
Being homo used to e a disquakifying factor where i was because of gross, low moral character and blackmail potential.
Good observation.
Remember during B Clinton’s impeachment the threat the Clinton’s had called the “Scorched Earth Policy” and everyone believed it was a threat to expose dirt in FBI files on republicans including their private sex lives?
A few republicans were even exposed.
Exposing individuals is called the “Ellen Romesch Strategy” not the “Scorched Earth Policy”.
Ellen Romesch Strategy is from the Kennedy years, Scorched Earth Policy is from the Weather Underground and it means orchestrate race riots then follow with terrorist attack. Think “spontaneous” protest followed by “spontaneous” terrorist attack lie with Benghazi.
During B Clinton’s impeachment the Clintons used the Ellen Romesch strategy as a cover for their real intentions, the Scorched Earth policy.
Civil unrest/race riots followed by terrorist attack.
Our entire popular culture. Sewage.
Sky blue.
Bear still lives in the Woods.
Pope still a lying Socialist.
