[Weekly Standard] Two big Clinton stories landed last week. The first is that Hillary Clinton destroyed the electronic copies of her State Department emails on her private server after the State Department subpoenaed her emails. The second is that Hillary Clinton had an aide running a "secret spy network" that was, among other things, feeding her information on Benghazi, according to a report by Pro Publica and Gawker. Earlier this month, I noted the myriad ways that Clinton running her own private email server breathes new life into the Benghazi investigation, but this last revelation takes things to a whole new level.
Specifically, this new report suggests that three men -- Sidney Blumenthal, Tyler Drumhiller, and Cody Shearer -- were involved in her private intelligence gathering efforts. Each of these men has a reputation for being associated with scandal.
We only know about Clinton's spy ring because a hacker who goes by the moniker "Guccifer" hacked the email account of former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal and posted his emails online. (Guccifer is now serving a prison sentence in his native Romania.) Guccifer's emails reveal Blumenthal was providing Clinton with detailed intelligence briefings on events in the Middle East and running the ad hoc spy ring. This arrangement is very curious, considering that the Obama White House made it clear that they didn't want Blumenthal working for the administration after Hillary Clinton previously tried to formally hire him to work at the State Department.
There are already a lot of Hillary's e-mails (hacked by gucifer and others) floating around out there on the net.
Be interesting to see how many of these "hacked" e-mails were NOT included in the batch Hillary turned over in response to the Trey Gowdy/Benghazi Commission Subpoena.

..and right now, anyone who has the means and know how is 'manufacturing' material that fundamentally can't be denied because they destroyed the evidence. We're not talking crude sophomoric Dan Rather stuff, but world class level art. The assassins are out there, any nationality, any alphabet agency, can hold these people hostages. The word 'compromised' doesn't do justice to what they've done to themselves.

Agreed Procopius2k. The irony is that they may now have to produce the original e-mails to counter the more malicious documents being "manufactured" (by whoever) out there in the cyber wilderness.
It is a lot easier to just replace a hard drive than it is to wipe one clean. I'm betting Hillary Clinton still has the original hard drive (Along with a backup) stuck somewhere in a crack (along side her Rose Law Firm records).
Remember the White Water documents that were "lost" and then mysteriously reappeared at the White House when they needed them ? I'm having Deja vu all over again here !
