Wut?
Exposed! Libya Security Briefs, Algeria Hostage Info & More — Hacker Threatens To Sell Hillary Clinton’s ENTIRE UNRELEASED Private Emails For $500K
Just as email-gate looked to be winding down, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned a person claiming to be a computer specialist has come forward with the stunning news that 32,000 emails from Hillary Clinton‘s private email account are up for sale. The price tag — a whopping $500,000!
Promising to give the trove of the former Secretary of State’s emails to the highest bidder, the specialist is showing subject lines as proof of what appear to be legitimate messages.
PHOTOS: Exposed! 10 New Revelations From Hillary Clinton’s Recently Released Emails — Overworked Staff And Guilty Pleasures!
“Hillary or someone from her camp erased the outbox containing her emails, but forgot to erase the emails that were in her sent box,” an insider reveals to Radar of the Presidential contender’s latest nightmare.
Radar has learned that some of the topics discussed in the email appear to include everything from Benghazi to the Algerian hostage crisis — with subject lines such as:
“H Libya security latest. Sid” (with attachment)
“H FYI, best analysis so far of hearing Sid,’ about the latest security
in Libya”
“H Algeria latest French Intel on Algeria hostage Sid”
“H Latest French Intel in Algeria hostage Sid” (with attachment)
“H Latest Libya intel internal govt discussions high level” (with
attachment)
“H HIGHLY IMPORTANT! Comprehensive Intel Report on (with attachment)”
Warns the insider, “If these emails get out to the public domain, not only is Hillary finished as a potential Presidential nominee, she could put our country’s national security at risk.”
Highly likely that this is a hoax...but... if true... damn. Automatically Appended Next Post: Didn't go far enough in my readings...
The Sale is "off" and the hacker actually gave it to the FBI.

Yeah, because most email servers maintain a full outbox and don't automatically delete from it and put the email into the sent box.

Outbox 'are' traditionally maintained and archived. However, if we truly believed that HRC staff tried to "wiped" the server... I'd have a hard time believing that they'd miss the archived/sent folders as well.
I'm just waiting to see if the FBI will acknowledge if they did indeed, received a batch of emails from this hacker. I'd give it a 1% chance...

'Outbox' generally empties out when a connection to the net is made, and in most cases that is a continuous connection so even though the whole .pst (or enterprise equivalent) is archived, the 'outbox' portion of it is generally pretty vacant.

That's exchange... and you're right. I'm on the old Novell Groupwise (ugh... I interpreted outbox to sent folder)... but, yes to your original point I see it and stand corrected.

Even after awhile the "sent items" folder will get full and you either have to delete stuff or move them to an archive. At least, that's how it works in my little corner of the government, and our system doesn't automatically archive stuff when the mailbox gets full; you just lose the ability to send or receive until you clean some of the crap out.
EDIT:
Also, Trump has signed the pledge to remain loyal to whomever the GOP nominates.
Somehow, though, I bet if the nominee is someone he doesn't like, he'll make some excuse and still try to run anyway.

Also arguably the nail in his campaign. He will continue to make noise, but is a back door admission by Trump and the Party that he is not going to be the nominee.

Is it possibly a strategy to appeal to more than just his current group of Republicans? To see if he can actually expand his voting group enough to actually win?
When he originally said that he might run even without the Republican nomination was basically ‘I do what I want’, and worked great with the disaffected and oddballs. But now he probably figures he’s got that group all sewn up, but they aren't enough to actually win the nomination. That same ploy didn't work so well with more loyal conservatives, so now he’s throwing that second group a bone, to see what happens. He should keep the disaffected, and if he can somehow win over enough of the rest, well...

Because the powers that be in the RNC will never back Trump and however dumb I think Trump is, he has to know that.
I would that this as little more than the quiet understanding between Trump and the RNC that Trump can make all the noise he wants but both acknowledging that he will not be on the Republican ticket.

The real question is, what would happen if he won the popular vote in the primary, but didn't get the nomination. There would be a shitstorm the likes of which would never been shat before. That would probably doom the R's presidential hopes more than him being the nominee. I'm sure a lot of his supporters would try a write in, and he might even go third party, he'd probably be pissed beyond all rekoning.

I think that if he won tthe popular vote he would be nominee (the RNC wouldn't have much choice), but I don't think he's going to get the popular vote at the primary, nor does the RNC. Another way to take this is that the RNC has acknowledged Trump has drawn a lot of attention. Enough to consider him a significant threat where he to run third party when they don't pick him.

Meh, I think he has a chance, especially if none of the less popular ones drop out, pulling the vote away from the real competitors. Not a big chance mind you, but a chance nevertheless.

I think if it gets to the pointy end and a lot of the more sensible* candidates are pulling votes away from each other, allowing Trump to still lead, then deals will quickly be done to make sure there's only one real candidate running against Trump.
*Well, less crazy.

HRC "sorry/not-sorry" for Emailgate:
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/hillary-clinton-sorry-email-controversy-n421851
In an exclusive interview with NBC News/MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Friday, Hillary Clinton said she's "sorry" there's been so much controversy over her private email server, but declined to apologize for the decision to use it. She also suggested that GOP front-runner Donald Trump is unqualified to be president and weighed in on the surprisingly robust challenge to her candidacy from Democratic primary rival Bernie Sanders.
"At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to all these questions," Clinton said of her email server after being pressed by Mitchell on whether she should apologize for the controversy that has dogged her campaign from the outset. "And I take responsibility and it wasn't the best choice."
It was just the third nationally televised interview for Clinton, the former secretary of state and Democratic 2016 front-runner, since announcing her campaign in April. Beset by flagging approval ratings, the Sanders challenge and the possibility that Vice President Joe Biden may enter the race, Clinton's interview with Mitchell appeared to be part of her campaign's latest effort to offer more access to the candidate.
Yet as her own campaign chairman John Podesta acknowledged in a conference call with reporters Thursday, Clinton's campaign has faced "headwinds" since March, when her private email server was first revealed. Her poll numbers have fallen as the number of people who consider her untrustworthy has risen.
"Certainly, it doesn't make me feel good," Clinton said when asked by Mitchell about those who find her dishonest. "But I am very confident that by the time this campaign has run its course, people will know that what I have been saying is accurate."
After laughing off questions about her server for months, Clinton has begun to strike a more contrite tone.
She explained that she had used a personal email account as a senator from New York and didn't spend much time considering alternatives when she became secretary of state in 2009. "I did all my business on my personal email [in the Senate]," Clinton said. "I was not thinking a lot when I got in [to the State Department]. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn't really stop and think what kind of email system will there be."
"This was fully above board, people knew I was using a personal email, I did it for convenience. I sent emails that I thought were work related to people's dot gov accounts," she added.
Asked by Mitchell about Trump's attacks on longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Clinton said the Republican's candidacy is "a bad development for our American political system" and that his bravado could have dangerous repercussions if he became president.
"Loose talk, threats, insults -- they have consequences," she said. "The president of the United States needs to be careful about what he or she says.
She went to say that Trump is "great at innuendo and conspiracy theories and really defaming people."
"He is the candidate of being against," she continued.
Trump and fellow Republican candidate Ted Cruz will hold a rally opposing President Barack Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran next week at the same time Clinton will be defending it in a speech in Washington. Asked about that, Clinton suggested that Trump and Cruz "don't believe in diplomacy" and said Americans want a president who does.
Clinton planned to deliver remarks on the Iran deal next week in Washington. "It is by no means perfect, but it's an important step," Clinton told Mitchell, adding that Iran "can never, ever have a nuclear weapon."
The Democratic front-runner has avoided getting into tangles with her primary opponents, and refused to weigh in on the political ramifications of Vice President Joe Biden's potential decision to the enter race.
But asked about why voters find Biden and challenger Bernie Sanders more authentic than Clinton, the former secretary of state seemed to take subtle dig at Sanders. "I started out listening because I think you can come with your own ideas and you can wave your arms and give a speech, but at the end of the day, are you connecting with and really hearing?" she said.
Aides have promised that Clinton in the coming weeks would take on a greater focus on women and stress her own role as a potential woman president. She appeared to make good on that promise with Mitchell, saying her candidacy was part of an career-long commitment to help women and girls around the world.
"My running for president is a way of sending a message -- we have an opportunity to lift up everyone," Clinton said.
Soooo... do we really want a president who admits that she “was not thinking a lot” about the national security implications of her email conduct as SoS??

Certainly, the answer is no. Sadly, however, in things like that she's no different than many of the politicians in Washington over the age of 50. They're just not a part of the I.T. generation.

I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks |

Soooo... do we really want a president who admits that she “was not thinking a lot” about the national security implications of her email conduct as SoS??
No one seemed to give a feth when it was Rove & Bush's cabinet doing much the same thing.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |

Nah, people cared then too. *I* care about this issue, even though I downplay the issue because I don't think it's going to impact the election. I give Whembly gak about it because I think it's clear he's going to post about it every 12 hours between now and November 3rd, but I'm only poking fun at his single mindedness, and in that his interest in good governance appears - at least to me - motivated solely by how useful a cudgel it is to use against a Democratic front-runner. However I agree this needs to be investigated.
Whether or not classified information was transmitted or not, using personal email as an end-run around the Freedom of Information act is pretty dirty pool, whether it's Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, or any of the many, many other politicians who played hide-the-emails. It sucks and it needs to be treated seriously.
