It’s not really a presidential scandal until we get a whistleblower with a ridiculous nickname.
Armed with confidential memos to Hillary Clinton that were stolen from the e-mail account of a former White House aide, a hacker has distributed some of the documents to a wide array of congressional aides, political figures, and journalists worldwide.
In a series of weekend e-mail blasts, the hacker known as “Guccifer” disseminated four recent memos to Clinton from Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of the former Secretary of State…
Most of the e-mail recipients were sent four separate memos that were e-mailed to Clinton by Blumenthal during the past five months. Each memo dealt with assorted developments in Libya, including the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. One memo marked “Confidential” was sent to Clinton on September 12.
No word yet on what the memos contain. Recipes, probably? Oscar picks?
I’m torn on this one. It would be nice to have incontrovertible proof that Clinton’s been lying all along. But I don’t like hackers, even when they go after people who lie to me and then blame me for noticing. This “Guccifer” is the same creep who hacked into the Bush family’s e-mails. Is he (presumably it’s a “he”) any less of a creep now, even if he finally gets to the truth about Benghazi? Is he any different than, say, Bradley Manning?
I guess what I’m saying is that I’m leaning more toward Kilmeade than Doocy.
Then again, as the former Secretary of State once said: What difference does it make?
