‘OMG’: Emails Reveal Huma Abedin’s Reaction When Learning Hillary’s Server Was Target of Hacking
menrec.com ^ | May 10, 2019 | Rusty Weiss

Huma Abedin, a top aide to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had a simple three letter response upon learning that her boss’s private email server had been the target of a hacking attempt – “OMG.”

The revelation comes amidst the release of 277 pages of FBI files concerning Clinton.

One email in the document drop shows Abedin responding to IT professional Justin Cooper who explained that he had to shut down the supposedly secure server on January 9th, 2011, because “someone was trying to hack us.”

“I had to shut down the server,” Cooper wrote. “Someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in I didn’t want to let them have the chance to.”

After responding with the shorthand for ‘Oh My God,’ Abedin emailed other top aides warning them not to email “HRC anything sensitive” and that she would “explain more in person.” Repeated Hacking Attempts

In June of 2018, FBI emails obtained by Fox News showed that “foreign actors” were able to gain access to some of Clinton’s emails, including one which was identified as “secret.”

In an original draft statement, former FBI Director James Comey indicated that a combination of evidence made it “reasonably likely that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s private email account.”

He would later make edits to that statement watering it down. The phrase “reasonably likely” was replaced by “possible.”

Despite evidence to the contrary, Clinton insisted during a news conference in March 2015 that her server “was on property guarded by the Secret Service, and there were no security breaches.” It Gets Worse

Security breaches in Clinton’s home where she housed the server weren’t limited to hacking attempts. There were physical problems as well.

Cooper, according to handwritten notes via FBI agents, informed the Bureau of a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) within Clinton’s homes.

The notes indicate that doors housing these areas were simply left open at times.

“Open door — not always secured, sometimes when HRC not @ residence was not closed. (both resid),” the notes said.

Granted, these people housed the Secretary of State’s private server in the bathroom, but leaving the door open isn’t exactly a minor infraction akin to leaving the toilet seat up. It’s inviting entry for anybody who wishes to access these ‘secure’ areas.

President Trump has suggested in the past that both Clinton and Abedin deserve jail time for their role in the email scandal, referencing, in particular, a report that the top aide had forwarded government passwords before they were hacked.

“She [Abedin] put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents,” Trump wrote last January. “Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act?”

OMG.

They never did act. These new documents show just how willing the FBI was to look in the other direction when it came to Clinton’s reckless handling of government data.

🚨🚨NEWS: There are 277 pages of previously released documents related to Hillary Clinton sitting on the FBI’s FOIA server. They’re not mentioned on the Bureau’s page where the PDFs usually pile up. Several things of note here. [1/6] https://t.co/pWlMlrfkCO

The photos were actually of some pretty innocent stuff. The libs threw him in jail, dishonorable discharge, later had to become a garbage man. Pardoned by Trump.

I assume that every country (including “friends” like the UK and France) hacked Hillary’s email. Any intelligence agency that didn’t probably saw their director fired once everyone realized what the private email address Hillary used for official business meant. There’s a good chance that new hires in foreign intelligence agencies were assigned to hack Hillary’s email either during their first few weeks or as part of the job interview, and the least competent among those are probably the ones who were detected.

They are so clueless, to actually think that because she had a secret server hidden in her bathroom closet that it could not be found or hacked, is breathtakingly stupid, beyond words.

As soon as it was turned on, it became an integral part of the ‘web’ and as such can be ‘seen’ by anybody using the right tools.

And these people wanted to ‘rule’ the country................

I think Hillary was a willing "spy" who willingly put classified material on this computer so her "global friends" could have access to in in exchange for....hmmmm….donations to her foundation. In effect she was treasonous.

Let’s not be naive here, the SCIF door was purposefully left open. Also, why did she even have a SCIF at her home?

Hillary’s never going to get justice. Not in this world anyway.

It’s best to forget anyone led us to believe that would happen.
