Cameras Catch break in at Whistleblower's law firm
Foreign Policy Magazine ^ | July 7,2013 | John Hudson

Posted on 07/07/2013 5:02:23 PM PDT by penelopesire

The offices of a Dallas law firm representing a high-profile State Department whistleblower were broken into last weekend. Burglars stole three computers and broke into the firm's file cabinets. But silver bars, video equipment and other valuables were left untouched, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW, which aired security camera footage of the suspected burglars entering and leaving the offices around the time of the incident. The firm Schulman & Mathias represents Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator at the State Department's Office of the Inspector General. In recent weeks, she raised a slew of explosive allegations against the department and its contractors ranging from illicit drug use, soliciting sexual favors from minors and prostitutes and sexual harassment. "It's a crazy, strange and suspicious situation," attorney Cary Schulman told The Cable. "It's clear to me that it was somebody looking for information and not money. My most high-profile case right now is the Aurelia Fedenisn case, and I can't think of any other case where someone would go to these great lengths to get our information." According to the KDFW report, the firm was the only suite burglarized in the high-rise office building and an unlocked office adjacent was left untouched. The State Department, which has repeatedly disputed Fedenisn's allegations, denied any involvement in the incident. "Any allegation that the Department of State authorized someone to break into Mr. Schulman's law firm is false and baseless," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

And Kerry was NOT on his yacht! ...

We can trust the DOS? Was it spokesperson, Psaki?, making the claim?

"No one at State gave anyone the AUTHORITY to do this break in..."

An extremely clear non-denial:

If I tell you, "I'll pay ya $100k to kill Mr. Smith.." did I give you AUTHORITY do kill Mr. Smith..? Or didn't I simply INCENTIVIZE his murder..?

If I deny GIVING AUTHORITY, in fact I could be guilty of murder but also making a true statement of fact.

I’d say contact the Attorney General of the United States, but Eric the Corrupt was probably in on it .... some of his Fast and Furious agents and lawyers.

Yep...we are suppose to believe a proven democrat hack liar.

Sure are a lot of dots needing connecting on this administration. Looks like a roadmap to high treason, abuse of power and high crimes and misdemeanors to me and most clear thinking people.

Okay. Post an itinerary of your plans, smart guy.

The resistance needs martyrs, as well as leaders.

Sven, you seem to show a great deal of interest in folks who may be taking action to expose the Obamanistas and their operatives.

Good catch! Sounds like Bob Baeur wrote it. Next it will be ‘just a few rogue agents’.

Why would the state department brake in and take three computers. They have access to better methods to get the info. The best way would be to get the info is with out the people they are taking it from knowing they ever got it. If you can’t get it remotely how hard would it be to make a device that could copy the hard drive in a short period of time. In or out of the machine. It is easy to make a copy of any drive regardless of encryption. It more like wiki-leak wannabes or a lower person trying to get in good with higher ups.

This is a real, live Watergate. RATS just now learning this are quaking. They just saw their pistol ripped away and pointed straight right back at them, ESPECIALLY Hillary, who made her political bones in the actual Watergate.

Yet it surely wouldn’t have been the only copy. Still, they could learn what the evidence is and manufacture whatever counter-evidence they might deem necessary.

You could be right or the law firm has a dirty player scooping up info for the Chicago or Arkansas thugs.

For Immediate Release

Press Gaggle by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 10/1/12

Westin Lake Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada

EXCERPT

Q We saw the cyber-attack information from a background source. But — (laughter) —

MS. PSAKI: Never heard of that guy.

Q You never heard of that guy. However, one newspaper reported that the cyber-attack was specifically on the White House Military Office, which supposedly controls the nuclear launch codes. Any response to that specifically?

MR. CARNEY: The attack you’ve mentioned was what’s known as a spear-phishing attack against an unclassified network. Let’s be clear — this is an unclassified network. These types of attacks are not infrequent, and we have mitigation measures in place. In this instance, the attack was identified, the system was isolated, and there is no indication whatsoever that any exfiltration of data took place. Moreover, there was never any impact or attempted breach of any classified system.

Q So what does the network control if it’s unclassified?

MR. CARNEY: I’m sorry?

Q If that network is unclassified, then what does it control? What is it in charge of? What information is stored in that network?

MR. CARNEY: Well, I’m not going to get into specifics about classified and unclassified networks, except that there are distinctions between those networks that have — contain classified information and those that don’t. And the attack was against an unclassified network.
