It gets better, Clinton's personal Email account use was revealed by Hacker, not Benghazi probe.

Hacker accused of exposing Clinton’s private email. . . appears in U.S. court

She registered her domain name the day she started confirmation for Secretary of State, 13, January 2009.Clinton's Domain Registeration

It is not theoritical that her email account was hacked.

It WAS hacked.

"In March 2013, an adviser to Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal, had his e-mail hacked by "Guccifer" -- the Romanian hacker perhaps best known for revealing George W. Bush's paintings to the world. At the time, Gawker reported that Blumenthal was communicating with an account that appeared to belong to Clinton at the "clintonemail.com" domain. The content of some of those e-mails was published by RT.com." Oh My!

So the discovery that Clinton used a private email account for work came from the hacked email. Not the Benghazi probe.

And now they have the poor soul that they grabbed from Romania that was supposed to have used occult methods in the hacking? Really?

"And The New York Times reported Monday night that, during her tenure at the State Department, Hillary Clinton never used her official e-mail account to conduct communications, relying instead on a private e-mail account. As the Times notes, only official accounts are automatically retained under the Federal Records Act, meaning that none of Clinton's e-mail communication was preserved."

Thus the discussion about avoiding the FOIA in Febuary.

Originally displayed on RT.com in Comic Sans font on a pink background with the letter “G” clumsily drawn as a watermark, no one took these leaked e-mails particularly seriously when they came out in 2013. Now, however, we can cross reference this leak with the e-mails the State Department released to the public.

The first three e-mails in the Russia Today leak from Blumenthal to Clinton all appear word for word in the State Department release. ... The fourth e-mail is missing from the State Department record completely.

advising the SoS on these matters and not her own staff? Where does he get his information?

He had access to intelligence which he was not supposed to have (maybe SIGINT; signals intelligence = intelligence gathered by interception of signals, whether communications between people or electronically transmitted). For a time he ran a private intel service with a former CIA operative (we can't ask that guy anymore because he died last year). But the info didn't come from the CIA, instead it apparently came from the NSA (I've read a report by a former NSA official who said Blumenthal's stuff sounds like it was taken straight from NSA SIGINT reports).

There is a whole different issue brewing over that since January. The NSA was always at loggerheads with HRC over the issue of her blackberry, and this kinda covers their face with extra egg. I presume figuring out how the intelligence leaked is handled entirely under the table, and somebody will lose their job because they fed Blumenthal intelligence he had no right to, but we'll never hear about it -- unless somebody gets pissed off and leaks it. This isn't the first time either, and he is sloppy with the stuff leaked to him. I am guessing that's why Obama didn't want him hired.

Still not good, but it's been clear since the beginning of this that Blumenthal was handling sensitive information without much by way of security. (Possibly illustrative of why Obama didn't want him on HRC's staff.) And of course the hacker would have had access to anything sent to Blumenthal. But this doesn't directly contradict the claims that the Clinton camp has made that there's no evidence that the basement server was hacked.

Of course, it does remind everyone of what Blumenthal was emailing, which can't be where any of Hillaryland wants attention directed, now or ever.

It does occur to me that this way, Russia can draw attention to the email, but maintain pausable deniability.

are going to have a field day - make that a field decade - with this stuff if HRC gets the nomination. It's like a bottomless grab-bag of grandstanding and fundraising opportunities. If I were of a CT bent, I'd have to wonder whether HRC's willingness to run for president, knowing that she will be a giant lightning rod for unending controversy, isn't just another scheme of the oligarchs, the next act in kabuki theater to divert the rubes while the aristocrats rob them.

I've always thought this as a side show helped them distract from their continued plundering. Bread and Circuses.

This is all distraction. All of it. And all the while getting no actual governance done for four (or God help us, eight) more years, either.

It can't possibly be any clearer what a disaster this is.

and hauled to the US on the grounds that anyone who commits a crime against a US citizen from anywhere is gonna get prosecuted? (Still waiting on all those Nigerian fraudsters, BTW.) He is brought to court by guards wearing balaklava helmets?

The guy is self-taught (therefore, probably a freaking genius), drives a cab, and has asked for a public defender?

Jaw-dropping indeed.

Poor bastard, doubt he had any intention of flirting with martyrdom.
