What If Vladimir Putin Has Hillary Clinton's Emails?
Forbes ^

Posted on 02/12/2016 9:49:05 PM PST by TigerClaws

Despite a clear warning received almost three years ago, it has taken a heated presidential campaign and an FBI investigation to make us aware of the national security threat of Hillary Clinton’s unsecured state department e-mails. The Kremlin’s cyber warfare army has had ample opportunity to steal Clinton’s entire e-mail cache (including 31,830 “private” e-mails). Such hacking would likely have taken place before the Kremlin’s propaganda arm, RT (Russia Today), published Sidney Blumenthal’s e-mails to Clinton on March 20, 2013, presumably sending out alarms at that late date to Clinton to secure her private server.

The Clinton cache of e-mail correspondence in the hands of the Kremlin or other hostile intelligence agencies could represent one of America’s greatest intelligence disasters, giving Vladimir Putin the opportunity to determine the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election or, barring that, to cast a cloud over a Clinton presidency. The national security implications of Hillary Clinton’s cavalier approach to security far outweigh the legal consequences of her actions.

The timeline of the Clinton e-mail scandal raises eyebrows about the curious lack of interest in this story when it first broke:

In March 2013, the Romanian hacker “Guccifer” distributed four intercepted Blumenthal e-mails, relating to Libya and Benghazi, to news organizations and political figures throughout the world, but only RT published them. On their release by RT, I immediately posted excerpts and analysis, concluding that, “Unhappy with the overthrow of Kaddafi, Putin would want to emphasize the sinister role played by the CIA in Libya.” My article, which was picked up by Drudge Report, attracted more than a third of a million viewers who could see for themselves Clinton’s private e-mail address and the contents of Blumenthal’s Libya reports. The RT publication was greeted by almost total media silence.

EXCERPT PER PUBLISHER REQUEST

Have faith. She thinks the devil has her back, but she doesn’t see the knife he has in his hand. And when she least suspects it he’s gonna let ‘er rip.

Putin has Snowden. He’s got a lot more than just Hillary’s emails.

In the intelligence world there is a concept known as “plausible cover”. You have intelligence from a special source you don’t want revealed so you mount an operation in the open that could plausibly acquire the information. The Blumenthal email hack has all the earmarks of such an operation.

This woman needs to be in prison.

Just like Bergdahl, she's a "dirty rotten traitor".

Vladimir probably has Hillary on speed dial. That way he can call in the blackmail messages faster.

Yep, thats the authors conclusion and i can’t fault his logic. Sanders is at this point the tougher candidate.Best of all worlds is she gets the nomination through super delegates which alienates the Sanders wing and is then indicted. She is then fatally damaged and the Dem party has to decide on a new candidate in say September. I can dream can’t i?

Here’s my Nightmare Scenario:

Biden and Bloomberg jump in when Hillary drops out. Then, Cruz fades and we have to listen to geniuses Trump, Biden, Bloomberg, and Bernie argue with each other for MONTHS.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse. [shudder]

You can bet good money the Russians have every word of it.

And the Chinese, and the Israeli’s, and the Brits, and anyone else with a competent intelligence service.

Well i think anyone including you and i would be stronger candidates than Hillary so yes, i’d hate to run against the others especially if they’re seen as knights in shining armor come to the rescue of the party. As to Cruz it seems unlikely he fades. He’s the clear choice of the conservative side of the party that doesn’t want Trump so he does have a natural base to carry him to the convention. I think Kasich probably emerges as the ‘other’ choice. Rubio is overall a poor candidate. The last debate exposed him badly. Christie did the nation a favor before dropping out.

Hillary had SAP level emails and those entail nuclear bombs the b1 bomber and other stuff that even congress cant see. She was selling to the hightest bidder and she is just a little piggie when it comes to money. Putin et al knows all our state secrets. These are the secrets that keep you safe when others wish you dead.

Heres my realistic scenario: The swing states have urban areas that go 100% for Hillary. The Wilson-Fish states with tens fo thousands of moslem immigrants, who vote for the first time, go for Hillary. Everyone on welfare goes for Hillary.

The media declares her the victor before polls close in the west, Clinton Cash has bought the secretary of state in 20 states and polls are jiggered and closed early in 20 states.

It does not matter who runs against the democratic machine, it matters who counts the votes and shuts down the tally early.

What if they have all that top top secret material? Could it be used to blount the US response to Putin in Crimea, Ukraine, and now Syria? And could the payola of $150 billion to Iran’s militant Mullahs and the Birddoll trade off from Gitmo seem more reasonable?

The US is gonna need a whole lot of new secrets!

Would certainly throw the United States electio to shreds were Putin to release a good portion of hillary’s e-mails.
