Trump Zeroes In on Abedin, Comey; Says DOJ Should 'Act'

President Trump on Tuesday seemingly called for the Justice Department to look into Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s former aide, and James Comey, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols,” he wrote on Twitter. “She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

The comments come after a report published Monday by the Daily Caller said Abedin forwarded State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her private email account on Yahoo before it was hacked. Their analysis was based on emails obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a lawsuit.

Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work. This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was impacted by one or more of a series of breaches — at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised three billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. (DC)

According to an FBI report, Abedin regularly forward government emails to her Yahoo account.

“She would use these accounts if her (State) account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” the report states.

In August 2009, the emails forwarded to her private account included one that contained password information for her government laptop.

Comey said in 2016 that emails of Clinton associated had been compromised.

“We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private email accounts of individuals with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her private account,” he said.

“she could practically smell Jarrett’s perfume in the leather chair.”

Considering what a POS Jarrett is, I doubt that her chair smelled of perfume, unless they have a new fragrance: Eau De Outhouse!

If you couldn’t read and understand my post the first time, I’m certainly not going to repeat it. Believe whatever you like; it’s your choice.

"Just wonder who is paying him under the table to shaft Trump."

I do wonder who has him set up to make the big bucks as soon as he retires.

Deep State Justice Dept must finally act?

Didn't he appoint the head of this mess? Seems like he could surely clear it up with one good firing.

Until I’m no longer given a reason by Mr. Trump to note negative things. A lot of FR folks would be going nuts if a progressive president did some of the exact same things Mr. Trump has.

Seriously, I was thinking nastier thoughts and edited myself to write perfume, ha. But you know damn well Hummer was measuring her ass to fit ValJar’s chair... Hillary would have been seizing up half the day and drunk the other half.

Huma is a naturalized citizen whose family has proven ties to the MB and personal ties to the Clinton's corruption of the Dept of State for personal gain, plus the Clinton's foundation on an entirely separate level or basis. Then of course the issue of the laptop.

I want to KNOW if Huma sent those emails via State's Network, or if she sent them using a modem line that circumvented the Security of State's Network?
