Laptop holding Trump Tower floor plans, Hillary Clinton email investigation info stolen from Secret
NY Daily News ^ | March 17, 2017 | Ellen Monynihan

Posted on 03/17/2017 4:10:14 PM PDT by SkyPilot

A laptop computer containing floor plans for Trump Tower, information about the Hillary Clinton email investigation and other national security information was stolen from a Secret Service agent's vehicle in Brooklyn, police sources told the Daily News.

Authorities have been frantically searching for the laptop since it was stolen Thursday morning — and are trying to determine if the thief knew what he was taking or randomly targeted the agent’s vehicle.

NYPD cops were assisting in the investigation but had scant information on exactly what’s on the laptop, sources said.

"The Secret Service is very heavily involved and, citing national security, there's very little we have on our side," a police source said. "It's a very big deal.”

"There's data on there that's highly sensitive,” the source said. “They're scrambling like mad.”

The information on the laptop cannot be remotely erased, sources said.

Other items stolen include “sensitive” documents, an access keycard, coins, a black zippered bag with the Secret Service insignia on it and Secret Service lapel pins from various assignments — including ones involving Donald Trump, the Hillary Clinton campaign, the United Nations General Assembly and the Pope’s visit to New York, sources said.

Obvious dead-drop is obvious.

I’m trying to figure out which is the whackier story, this stolen SS laptop story (”Ya’ just CAN’T get good help anymore!”), the guy in the White House grounds for supposedly 15 minutes, or, this:

Unfortunately, none of these are “funny” whacky — the SS stories are of huge / obvious concern, the last one resulted in several injuries, one life threatening.

Might be time to change their name to NSSS

Not So Secret Service

Their increasing ineptness is troubling.

"The UIS" might fit. (For "Unbelievably Inept Service".) Of course, one must keep in mind that for 8 years the people in charge of the gov't were many of the same people who, back in 2008, could not keep Obama's Presidential campaign plane from smelling bad...

No longer employed? She should be in jail.
Going out on a limb to say what others are afraid to say but the key word in this clusterf&&* is "she".

Wasn't/isn't the head of the SS a woman?

Somebody in the SS made a deal with an enemy of Trump/Friend of Hillary.....no way that laptop would have been left in a vehicle overnight w/o someone purposely deciding to leave it there.

Agreed.

Recently, nearer to home, we’ve had a rash of head-on collisions where somebody just wanders across the centerline. Hopefully there’s a “lucky” gene in my family, too. :-)

Sounds like the SS Agent was a$$hole deep in leaving this to be picked up.

Even in the industrial business, we are coached to never, ever leave our data in the front of a vehicle. It always went in the trunk.

No, this was no random robbery. I hope the agent is no longer employed by SS.

Keyrect and some of that interrogation methods should be applied as we communicate.

Stolen? Sold, most likely. Would love to see the police report. A must fire candidate. I think it’s more deep state work, or it must be the money.

The thief stepped out of a dark-colored car, possibly an Uber, and stole the laptop from Argentieri's vehicle, a 2015 Bajaj, which was parked in the driveway of her Bath Beach home, sources said.

Something smells to high heaven with this event. The agent leaves a laptop with sensitive materials in her car OVERNIGHT? Then someone, who obviously knows WHO she is and where she LIVES, arrives at 3 in the morning, goes directly to the car (was it even locked?) takes the laptop, pops it into a backpack and just walks away?

She needs to be investigated to find out with whom she's been dealing in the past 6 months, to see how someone could have known she happened to have this laptop in her possession, and where to find it.

I recall a member of Clinton’s cabinet (was it the CIA director?) who had brought classified information home on a laptop which then was lost/ stolen. I don’t think he was ever held accountable for that.

“Remember when state secrets were left in a room in russia.....on hillarys watch. Remember when hillary stole 800 FBI files and left them on the staircase to found by a maid in the White House.”

Interesting, I never heard about the secrets left in a Russian room.

I’d like to investigate that, have any links? Looks like a solid connection to a “drop” by Clinton for the Ruskies.
More of her connections to Russia, what was the date of that occurance?

The FBI files, I knew the Clintons had them. That’s how they got their way so often. They threatened blackmail on many GOPers which compromised their ability to do their jobs.

I never heard about the maid finding them though, sounds believable.

Could be a setup, with fake info on the laptop to lead the thief’s handlers astray.

The way technology is today it’s probably being tracked.

And seeing as they can turn on mics of citizens phones, smart TVs and computers, the SS is probably listening in on the criminals convos.

The Clintons have always had free reign to commit treason and engage in espionage.

Little demons have been spraying them with Teflon for decades.

Why would anyone leave a laptop in a car or motorcycle? That is far from secure.

I leave my windows laptop in the car. TPM and Bitlocker are turned on.
