Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is holding a fundraiser at the Black Hat hacker conference this week in Las Vegas, amid an intense focus on how hackers are affecting the 2016 campaign. For anywhere from $100 to $2,700, donors can mingle on Wednesday with Michael Sulmeyer, a former top Defense Department cyber official who now heads the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center Cyber Security project (identified as the Clinton Campaign’s cybersecurity working group coordinator); former Homeland Security Department official Jake Braun (now CEO of Cambridge Global); and Black Hat founder Jeff Moss.

She probably won’t get much $$$ or interest.
Most of Black Hat is made up by a mix of tech nerds, infiltrators and IT professionals.
Everyone of them knows Hillary is lying but don’t want to do prison time by saying it

I really wanted to go this year but had too much to do.

This morning I saw the Trump commercial on Fox news where they play a video of Hillary discussing outsourcing tech jobs to India and accepting bribes... oops, I mean contributions and speech fees in exchange.
