Limbaugh Tees off on Democrat Benghazi Report - Mentions Trump 23 Times

You said it man!

Fears that the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s report on the 2012 tragedy would become a prop in the 2016 campaign have been realized, according to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh expressed anger Tuesday over the Democratic committee members report’s seeming fixation with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“A 339-page report released by Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi mentions Donald Trump 23 times,” Limbaugh said, noting that is more mention than the Democrats gave former SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who were killed in the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks."Limbaugh noted that at the time of the attacks, Trump was a private citizen who “might have been on TV commenting about it as an infrequent guest.”

Limbaugh said the excessive mentions of Trump, and the lack of any criticism of Democratic presidential candidate and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the narrative, meant that the report was saying, in essence, “OK, media! Here’s what we want you to do. This is how we want you to cast and to characterize the Benghazi report.”

Absolutely unbelievable and believable at the same time. But would you expect any less than that from the party of the crybabies? The actual/factual report from the Republican committee cites numerous fuck ups, and laying some blame on the military which Obama is the commander-in-chief of.

Remember the leadership quote, "The Buck Stops Here"?

Well then the blame - while on the terrorist who committed the act - squares on Obama as Clinton as they were ultimately in charge.

Fox Report:

Top IT official: Disabling security for Clinton server laid out 'welcome mat' for hackers

Just as I had said before, it was a "Rats Nest" of infection.

A 2010 decision temporarily disabling State Department security features to accommodate Hillary Clinton’s private server effectively laid out a "welcome mat" for hackers and foreign intelligence services, a leading IT official who oversaw computer security at the Defense Intelligence Agency told Fox News.

"You're putting not just the Clinton server at risk but the entire Department of State emails at risk," said Bob Gourley, former chief technology officer (CTO) for the DIA. "When you turn off your defensive mechanisms and you're connected to the Internet, you're almost laying out the welcome mat for anyone to intrude and attack and steal your secrets."

He was referring to revelations from new court-released documents in a lawsuit by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch. They show the State Department temporarily turned off security features in 2010 so that emails from then-Secretary of State Clinton's personal server would stop going to the department's spam folders.

Gourley, who has more than two decades of cybersecurity experience and is now a partner with strategic consulting and engineering firm Cognitio, noted the Russians did breach the State Department system at some point – though it’s unclear when, and whether disabling the security functions in 2010 played a role.

He said, though, that when the Russian presence was detected in 2014, there were indications “they had been there for quite a while … [and] also hacked into unclassified systems in the White House.” He said the Russians would have tried “everything possible to get in.”

The question is "Did they?" Again, when you have to shut off access to a remote server - especially one with the incredible name of "clintonemail.com" - it means it's not a secure system and by security protocol it should have never been allowed to be used as a secure system for the SOC.

Security Features were Turned off DOS Server because of Problem with Hillary's Email Servers

Dont' know how much more the FBI needs, but it's starting to look really, really bad for Hillary.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department staffers wrestled for weeks in December 2010 over a serious technical problem that affected emails from then-Secretary Hillary Clinton's home email server, causing them to temporarily disable security features on the government's own systems, according to emails released Wednesday.

The emails were released under court order Wednesday to the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch, which has sued the State Department over access to public records related to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's service as the nation's top diplomat between 2009 and 2013.

The emails, reviewed by The Associated Press, show that State Department technical staff disabled software on their systems intended to block phishing emails that could deliver dangerous viruses. They were trying urgently to resolve delivery problems with emails sent from Clinton's private server.

"This should trump all other activities," a senior technical official, Ken LaVolpe, told IT employees in a Dec. 17, 2010, email. Another senior State Department official, Thomas W. Lawrence, wrote days later in an email that deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin personally was asking for an update about the repairs. Abedin and Clinton, who both used Clinton's private server, had complained that emails each sent to State Department employees were not being reliably received.

After technical staffers turned off some security features, Lawrence cautioned in an email, "We view this as a Band-Aid and fear it's not 100 percent fully effective."

The AP initially reported Wednesday that the emails described security features being turned off on Clinton's own private server, but State Department spokesman John Kirby clarified hours later that the emails described "a series of troubleshooting measures to the department's system — not Secretary Clinton's system — to attempt to remedy the problem."

I worked as a Network Administrator for a while. The only reason you would secure your main system from a remote system is because it's "rogue", in other words "a rats nest". Evidently her server was so "hackable" that no one in IT at the DOS thought it was secure enough to allow it to freely communicate with the mainframes. As the SOC Clinton is ultimately responsible for her department's computer security and acting like she doesn't know a mouse from a mouse trap isn't flying at all.
