President Trump Says Hillary Clinton’s Emails Hacked By China – PLUS, Weiner Laptop Was Examined...

We are going to take a trip back in time again to get documented facts, being disputed in our present day. President Trump has just made the claim that China hacked Clinton’s emails; however, everyone including the FBI is saying that is not true.

Hillary Clinton admitted herself that she’d used an unsecured private email server to handle classified emails while Secretary of State. Two years after the FBI exonerated her, we finally learned the truth. China apparently had unfettered access to all her emails, including many that were highly classified.

We remember the horrible truth that she leaked names of secret agents working in the field, and some said these agents were put in danger – some even losing their lives. There are some things one never forgets, and I will never forget that.

According to the DAILY CALLER, one news site that does not miss a beat, a Chinese-owned company gained access to Clinton’s unsecured private server, and embedded code that then sent them copies of every email she sent. Further the FBI knew about this, even as then FBI Director Comey signed her GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE excuse. Is it not amazing how well criminals work together?

Like other sensitive government agencies the State Department was frequently target and increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts. When we first arrived at State, these attempts were similar to the fraudulent emails many Americans experience at home on their personal computers. The often sloppy early attempts to penetrate our secure systems were easy to spot. But by 2012, the sophistication and fluency had advanced considerably, with the attackers impersonating State Department officials in an attempt to dupe their colleagues into opening legitimate looking attachments.

When we traveled to sensitive places like Russia, we often received warnings from the Department security officials to leave our BlackBerries, laptops—anything that communicated with the outside world—on the plane, with their batteries removed to prevent foreign intelligence services from compromising them. Even in friendly settings we conducted business under strict security precautions, taking care where and how we read secret material and used our technology. One means of protecting material was to read it inside an opaque tent in a hotel room. In less well equipped settings we were told to improvise by reading sensitive material with a blanket over our head. I felt like I was 10 years old again, reading covertly by flashlight under the covers after bedtime. On more than one occasion I was cautioned not to speak freely in my own hotel room.

And it wasn't just US government agencies and officials who were targets. American companies were also in the crosshairs. I fielded calls from frustrated CEOs complaining about aggressive theft of an intellectual property and trade secrets, even breaches of their home computers. To better focus our efforts against this increasingly serious threat, I appointed the Department’s first Coordinator for Cyber Issues in February 2011. - Hillary Clinton, Hard Choices

Wow ... the abbreviated thread heading — “Weiner’s laptop was examined ...” is a bit eye-catching. One must assume it refers to his computer. Ha! Cheers!
