Hillary Clinton Withdraws As Cybersecurity Conference Keynote, Citing ‘Unforeseen Circumstance'

[Daily Caller] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton withdrew from the cybersecurity conference where she was scheduled to be the keynote speaker, citing an "unforeseen circumstance," according to an email from the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit.

Clinton ‐ who infamously transmitted classified information over a homemade server once housed in her bathroom ‐ was the centerpiece of the October 9-10 summit in Washington, where Clinton was to have "engage[d] in a Q&A discussion with FireEye CEO, Kevin Mandia on the geopolitical landscape and its implications for global cyber security today."

The FireEye "Cyber Defense Summit brings together many of the world’s leading security experts, frontline heroes, government leaders, and executives from various industries to address the challenges of today’s threat landscape," its website says.

An email from FireEye sent Tuesday said "Due to an unforeseen circumstance, Secretary Clinton will no longer be able to participate in this year’s conference. Additional speakers will be announced as confirmed. We look forward to hosting attendees in October with a comprehensive program at our 10th annual event."

#7 What? The conference wanted something more than destroying Blackberries and laptops with a hammer as a topic for cyber security?

#9 This comes down to a high priced lawyer looking over his or her glasses and tiredly saying or writing "There's nothing you can say, scripted or - heaven forbid - unscripted - in an uncontrolled setting that I would be comfortable having to defend later..."
