Update: 21:00: Click this link for Russia Today to read the alleged emails that were hacked from the account of Hillary Clinton’s aide, Sidney Blumenthal.
In the memo sent hours after the attack, it appears that Hillary Clinton was sent disinformation about the attack being the result of the anti-Mohammed film.
A memo dated February 16, 2013 draws possible connections between the Benghazi assault and the January 2013 hostage crisis in In Amenas, Algeria near the Libyan border.
Original Story: 07:08: The administration might not want people to know what went on in Benghazi but they might not have any choice. Confidential memos sent to Hillary Clinton and saved to the AOL email account of a former White House aide, Sidney Blumenthal, have been hacked.
Five of the memos on Libya and the Benghazi attack are being distributed to hundreds of people, including congressional aides, political figures and journalists worldwide.
The time stamp is the day after Benghazi.
The hacker, Guccifer, has been attacking many notables including the Bush family, Colin Powell and a UN member.
If Congress uses emails from a hacker who is breaking the law, it could be problematic.
This attack happened last Thursday and the journalists have been absolutely silent.
The hacker sorted the emails, removed attachments, copied the text from the emails into new files, made screen grabs of the files and forwarded them in comic sans font with a pink background. He sent them from the hacked account of a Hollywood actor.
Two most recent IP addresses Guccifer has used are from the Russian Federation, which could mean nothing though he did send the emails to a number of Russian outlets.
Full story at the smoking gun
Hillary Clinton was sent a cable three weeks before the Benghazi attack notifying her that the consulate was surrounded by Islamist radicals and could not withstand an attack but she claimed she didn’t read it. Will the hacked emails tell a different story?:
I see many posts all over the web that reference these leaked e-mails, but for some reason, I don’t see any of the content… Hmmm…
Yes, nothing has been released. There might be nothing in the emails or there might be something. I wasn’t going to post it for that reason but the issue deserves attention.
The fact is that the hacking is quite serious. If these notables can be so easily hacked, it’s concerning. That might be the only story here.
I updated the post. Russia Today posted the emails and they aren’t very informative except to say that hours after the attack, the video was used as the reason. You can read them here: http://rt.com/usa/clinton-emails-guccifer-benghazi-492/
Thanks for posting that. The problem in America is not a left verses right problem; both parties have been coopted and are essentially moving in the same direction. Candidate Obama, who railed against the patriot act, could never have written the NDAA. And the phony floor votes at both parties primaries should also be evidence enough. The real struggle is between the citizens and the political elite… In the past 90 days, they’ve passed about 5700 new laws and routinely either exempt themselves or simply aren’t prosecutable for breaking them. I think the hacking should be very disturbing to them and actually good for the people.
I agree.
The elite are in an Ivory Tower making their deals, passing their ridiculous burdensome laws, wasting our money and our children’s money. When did they stop working for us? And yes, they continually pass laws which exempt themselves like Obamacare, gun laws, insider trading and so on.
They are good at dividing us against each other.
It must be alarming to them to be hacked. They’re used to just invading our privacy.
