Hillary Clinton’s private server target of cyber attacks: Document

For months, we’ve argued that Hillary Clinton broke law to operate an email account on a home-brewed sever.

A second email company, Datto, has now been embroiled in the server scandal, and a computer “cloud” apparently captured a few information that the former Secretary of State did not want on government servers. He even points out Platte River workers may have been anxious about the data backups, according to one employee email.

One e-mail suggests Clinton’s team told the company to cut back-ups to 30-days. Datto is collaborating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on obtaining and turning over these backed-up emails. She was said to have deleted more than 30,000 emails from the server that she has claimed were not pertinent to her job as the nation’s top diplomat and has turned over another 30,000 to the State Department for archiving.

“Ron Johnson is ripping a page from the House Benghazi Committee’s playbook and mounting his own, taxpayer-funded sham of an investigation with the sole objective of attacking Hillary Clinton politically”, Brian Fallon, a campaign spokesman, told the AP by email.

At stake is whether Mrs. Clinton was the right person to review her own messages and decide which ones are official records to be kept by the government, and which are private messages she can delete without having to share them with the public.

Johnson, whose committee is investigating Clinton’s email arrangement, has sent a letter to Victor Nappe, CEO of SECNAP, the company that provided the monitoring software installed on Clinton’s server.

Datto said in a statement to McClatchy that “with the consent of our client and their end user, and consistent with our policies regarding data privacy, Datto is working with the FBI to provide data in conjunction with its investigation”. This hardware had allowed the company to store data on its cloud. Platte River moved the server from Clinton’s basement to its New Jersey offices.

The letter also noted that Platte River employees were directed to reduce the amount of email data being stored with each backup.

In September, the AP reported that Russian hackers tried to break into Clinton’s server at least five times by sending malicious emails.

Platte River’s Boian told the Washington Post that despite the employee’s private speculation, the company does not think any “shaddy shit” – or rather a cover-up – took place. “And if you have a private server, it’s very likely that you would be compromised”.

When Datto acknowledged the issue via email, a Platte River employee replied: “this is a problem”. Datto says there is no evidence that the system was hacked.

“I just don’t see what my authority under FOIA would be”, said Judge Walton, referring to the Freedom of Information Act.

Stone, a controversial figure who recently decamped from Donald Trump’s campaign, also delves into the more fantastical rumors that have dogged the Clintons for years.
