#1 The thing that has always struck me about the whole Hillary Clinton email fiasco is the studious lack of curiosity by the US government over how TS/SCI documents were removed from a SCIF and transmitted via garden variety email and stored on a server that had no cyber or physical security.

"Astounding" to some possibly. How can an effective disinformation or 'leaks' campaign be run if the target audience is unable to access the data ?

She had a JOB to do! How else could she operate a 'homebrew' system and continue to conduct gov't business? She had to read or be briefed on the daily classified traffic.

The ~~hacking~~ surrender of 30K Clinton Emails (and who knows what else, attachments, etc.) was a well planned and coordinated event. The recipients got something, the gov't or DNC (or both) got something. Nothing is free. Everybody got something. Who knows, perhaps a Russian hacking scandal could one day assist in the invalidation of a national election.

One could call it the "Yellowstone Paradox." Hungry bears don't generally approach the roads for purposes of navigation.

#2 Plots within plots? More like plausible deniability when faced with demands for official records search of communications. Think modus operandi of the perps rather than rationalize some elaborate plot of intrigue.

#4 At some point the hierarchy of the FBI went from a crime clean-up org. to a crime cover-up agency much to the detriment of the American people.

#5 Hitlery was secretly involved in a false flag op to disseminate fake (ink, wink) e-mails full of false (wink, wink) information to the gullible Russkies. Now, let zir get on with zir crusade against those drooling, mouth breathers that infest the between states.

#6 Ref #2 Plots within Plots ...More like plausible deniability when faced with demands for official records search of communications.

Reluctance or refusal in reference to 'demans for official records search of coms. Alright, I'll buy that, but 'refusal' for what reasons ?

#7 but 'refusal' for what reasons?

~~Hubris~~
~~Didn't want to expose sensitive channels and assets?~~
Didn't know how to find them?

#8 My dad's cousin had this happen under Carter. (I assume his whole life is redacted. He told me his wildest stories when he was dying of cancer)
Under Carter his GS rating was too high to fire so they made him the acting DEA drug czar. Something he wanted nothing to do with
First day on the job it took two hours of security to get to his office. 15 mins later the mob walked in and demanded he leave their shipments alone or his family would be killed.
He was like fine... I am a cold warrior not a drug warrior I will leave you alone.
6 months later he was back in State.
