-Lurid Crime Tales-
New York Times alters Clinton email story

[POLITICO] The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
made small but significant changes to an exclusive report about a potential criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ...
's State Department email account late Thursday night, but provided no notification of or explanation for of the changes.

The paper initially reported that two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation "into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Livingstone ...
mishandled sensitive government information on a private email account she used as secretary of state."

That clause, which cast Clinton as the target of the potential criminal probe, was later changed: the inspectors general now were asking for an inquiry "into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state."

The Times also changed the headline of the story, from "Criminal Inquiry Sought in Hillary Clinton's Use of Email" to "Criminal Inquiry Is Sought in Clinton Email Account," reflecting a similar recasting of Clinton's possible role. The article's URL was also changed to reflect the new headline.

#3  While he amassed a great deal of wealth and power, a virtual kingdom of underworld connections and lieutenants, income tax evasion and syphilis eventually took Alphonso Capone down.

If you're smart, you'll mind the small details. She doesn't appear to be either smart or mindful of details.

Anyone besides me note how little we're hearing from her spouse these days? I suspect he has a sense of what lies ahead.

#9  Well I'm with Boeseker on this one, I bet Bill is good around the campfire with a beer or two under his belt.

However, I would turn on the alarm on my house and sit on my wallet while I was drinking with him...not to mention locking up the women and children.

#11  I dunno about Izvestia, I always thought Pravda's propaganda was more sophisticated and higher thinking.

I used to read both for a good laugh once in a while. I quit laughing when they mentioned a black op in Africa that I was involved in...still don't know who spilt the beans on it. We didn't even tell the locals we were there nor the Brits

Hildebeest slams 'inaccuracies' in email reports
[The Hill] Hillary Clinton on Friday panned reports that the Justice Department has been asked to investigate whether she possessed classified information on her private email server, saying they contain "inaccuracies."
It is inconceivable that she could act as Secretary of State and conduct all of her business in a collateral (UNCLAS) computer environment. Her travel itinerary and schedule as Secretary, destinations, dates, hours of arrival/departure etc, would have been classified.
"There have been a lot of inaccuracies, as Congressman Cummings made clear this morning. Maybe the heat is getting to everybody. We all have a responsibility to get this right; I have released 55,000 pages of emails, I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions in front of the House committee," she said during an economic speech in New York.

"We are all accountable to the American people to get their facts right, and I will do my part, but I will also stay focused on the issues."

The new email troubles for Clinton stem from a New York Times report late Thursday night that said two inspectors general have asked Justice to determine "whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account" of Clinton.

A second report in The Wall Street Journal said that the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community told Congress that at least four emails from her server should have been classified as "secret."
Finally, the jig is up. She HAS received classified (SECRET) possibly higher emails on her private 'unclassified' server and computer. Last time I checked, there was no toggle switch that permits a classified computer, Secure Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNET) or JWICS (High Side) system to send classified documents to an UNCLAS computer. In fact, many agencies have inactivated the USB ports and disc drives of UNCLAS computers to prevent the upload and transfer of classified documents.

Someone or a bunch of someones somewhere downloaded classified documents to a thumb drive or disk, or scanned, then copied them to an UNCLAS computer and sent them to Clinton. If four out of some 40 emails contained classified information, it is likely that a goodly number of her emails might contain classified documents or information. The obvious question here is, what levels of classification did others in gov't receive on documents 'from' Clinton.

If other government employees received classified documents and or information on UNCLAS systems, I suspects alarms would have gone off. One or two might have slipped by, but thousands over several years? Highly unlikely.

Therefore, if other gov't officials received properly marked communications on classified systems [from Clinton], then a massive classified document laundering scheme was in play. Such a sophisticated operation would be well beyond the capability of a single system security officer (SSO) or man-in-the-loop working alone. The sheer volume of Clinton's email traffic combined with her frequent international travels and time zone hoping would have required that an entire team of classified document reviewers, declassifiers, sanitizers, or 'fixers' would have had to labor around the clock.

Per E.O. 12958, only the originating source of classified documents is authorized to 'declassify' those documents. Declassification guidance is provided on all classified documents. Lower left corner of the document as I recall: "OADR" (Originating Agency's Determination Required). Unless Information Security (INFOSEC) procedures have changed in the past few years, that's just the way it works.

My hunch is there was good reason for the establishment of a clandestine email system. A good reason for Clinton and her cohorts anyway. Obviously, she did not act alone.

Will anything come of this? Quoting Charles Krauthammer "not a snowball's chance in hell."

Africa Horn
Obama Begins Landmark Visit to Kenya

[ALMANAR.LB] US President Barack Obama
The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person...
arrived in the Kenyan capital Nairobi late Friday, making his first visit to the country of his father's birth since his election as president.

Obama was greeted by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta with a handshake and embrace as he stepped off Air Force One, at the start of a weekend visit during which he will address an entrepreneurship summit and hold talks on trade and investment, counter-terrorism, democracy and human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
A massive security operation was under way in Nairobi, with parts of the capital locked down and airspace also closed for the president's landing and his scheduled departure late Sunday for neighboring Æthiopia.

Top of the list of security concerns is Somalia's Al-Qaeda-affiliate, the Shabaab, who have staged a string of suicide kabooms, massacres and bombings on Kenyan soil, including the siege of the Westgate shopping mall in the heart of the capital nearly two years ago that left 67 dead.

The visit is the first ever to Kenya by a sitting US president.

#1  Think he's stupid enough to refer to Kenia as "my birthplace" in public?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 07/25/2015 4:46 Comments || Top||

#2  Stay, please.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 07/25/2015 5:05 Comments || Top||

#3  the Kenyans are truly the most polite people on earth.

They also love Obama so much they have sarongs printed with his face celebrating his election. they will go nuts.

race relations between white and black are better seemingly in Kenya than they are in the US. Blacks love white people there as they are always helping with some aid or training project and bringing in money.

but when it comes to tribal black violence.... Kikuyu vs Luo vs Kalenjin - then it can get ugly. Mostly very polite, but every now and then the machetes come out.
Posted by: anon1 || 07/25/2015 7:27 Comments || Top||

#4  ...there are enough Kenyans around who are observant enough to see what's happen to neighboring countries that drove the 'white devil' out and realize - it ain't good.
