Updated 3:03 p.m. | Personal information gathered from a cyber assault on online-fling facilitator Ashley Madison has now hit the Web, and a handful of Capitol Hill accounts appear to have been laid bare.
Per media reports, the client records harvested by hackers identifying themselves as "Impact Team" include some 36 million email addresses. Ashley Madison does not, by its own admission, engage in any type of email verification, making fictitious accounts another resource in the cheater's toolbox.
Approximately 15,000 of those appear to sport the “.mil” or “.gov” designation assigned to the armed forces and federal agencies, respectively. Impact Team has not divulged the names associated with the pilfered hook-up records, but a data-driven social media user combed through the information and compiled the most common occurrences.
Among those purportedly seeking relations away from their spouses are emails associated with:
The office of GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
The Capitol Police.
Seven folks with ties to House offices.
Nearly four dozen people who punch timecards at the White House.
Sans a deep dive into the dark web to parse the full batch of raw data released for public scrutiny, HOH has no sure way of knowing which of our friends, neighbors and/or colleagues were looking to get their freak on away from prying eyes.
A Cruz aide assured HOH that nary a soul in that office is surreptitiously on the prowl.
“The email address in question is press@cruz.senate.gov, a publicly and widely available forwarding address that is often entered into web contact forms by people with no connection to our office,” Team Cruz said of the generic mailbox.
No one from the Capitol Police or Senate Sergeant-at-Arms responded to queries concerning particularly lustful aides.
True and it could be that someone watches the Cruz denial and asks the obvious question, “Did he do it?” He doesn’t deny it, just calls it garbage and blusters about how it “offends” his daughters. At ages 5 and 8 I really doubt they read the National Enquirer or understand what is alleged, and would be offended...
And now it sounds like there is a compilation video showing a pattern of Ted with one of his harem. We will just stay tuned as the SS Cruz continues to take on water.
Wow. Truth!
I wonder what he was trying to string together there?
Actually, I would tend to give the benefit of the doubt on that whole ‘press@cruz.senate.gov’ address because it IS too simple for anyone to use it to create a false audit or email trail. For example, I use proxy servers all the time and I could generate an email from ‘cruz@copulate-with-rats.com’ if I was so inclined, and the email header information would lead to nowhere. But such antics serve no useful purpose, not for pro-Cruz people, or anti-Cruz people, although I could envision a situation where the pro-Cruz factions generate a bunch of ‘false flag’ emails to divert attention from far more serious issues.
More and more, the Cruz campaign is taking on the same familiar stink as did Nixon’s.
Another “Poison Pill’, Ted wanted to track down adulterers.
Pres. Nixon NEVER copulated with rat, or talked about it.
But of course. Only after a Cruz-aligned PAC that Cruz has yet to denounce attacked Trump's wife first.
:
“The email address in question is press@cruz.senate.gov, a publicly and widely available forwarding address that is often entered into web contact forms by people with no connection to our office,” Team Cruz said of the generic mailbox.”
Laughable nonsense.
If you are in public office, you should know that nothing is done in private when done on the internet.
I see what you are saying now...but, doesn’t the .gov make is a bit more difficult? indeed the .senate.gov would seem to limit it to the senate.
I was a Cruz supporter initially, but the phony façade fell away pretty quickly. What was interesting in our family is my 86 year old mother (and political activist!!) recognized it right away...never liked him. During normal times I probably would not be a Trump supporter because of his personality, although I do like him as a man. But, we need a very strong leader to get us reasonably through the next few years...I think we are in the midst of ever deepening turmoil...
This is exactly why people in Washington don’t want Trump in the White House, they can’t blackmail him, but they sure can Cruz. Rubio was shopping the story around, how many other people know about Cruz?
That's not Absorbine on his wrists.....
Cough *KY Lubricant* cough
I concur, Nixon never talked like that, but he was more than capable of some salty sailor’s talk, having been in the Navy.
I wasn’t gonna go there E.E.E., I was giving him the benefit of the doubt about his wrists being sore from so much typing. ;)
Wrong ...they know that if they hit Trump , he will hit back ...they can do anything and blame Trump ...
Perfect example : Levin got outed , Levin pointed to Rubio, but then Levin used it as catalyst to go after Trump
Thanks for your insight.
Real Americans don’t assume guilt by inuendo. I haven’t seen one speck of real evidence yet. Until presented with evidence, there is no reason to believe a man is guilty of anything, especially a man who has made many enemies of powerful people in the crony elite.
That fact that Cruz has made those enemies and is the most feared person by the DC establishment makes me very suspicious of the inuendos.
Don't know if the bimbo eruptions are true but this seems to be possibly a set up and would take it with a grain of salt.
Probably the whole GOPe knew about this. Which explains why Cruz suddenly embraced the very establishment he has always criticized.
And oddly enough, the Ashley Madison database did not contain anything like “press@graham.senate.gov” (OK, that’s an obvious one) or, say, “press@menendez.senate.gov“...
Just Cruz.
