Teenage hacker targets Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper

This comes on the heels of the Chinese hack attack in June 2015. A massive national security breach involving 21.5 million federal employee who's records including security-clearance details dating back 15 years were stolen. In a show of retribution for Chinese internet espionage, Barry  drew 'another red line' by inviting President Xi Jinping to the WH where they dined on Moo goo gai pan and egg rolls.

Office of The Director of National Intelligence

Ask them if they're so "intelligent" how did they allow a punk kid to hack into the head of the DNI accounts?  

-------------------------------------------------------------

One of the hackers who boasted last fall of breaking into the private email account of the CIA director apparently has struck again — this time targeting the director of national intelligence.

A prankster who goes by the nickname "Cracka" told a reporter for the online magazine Motherboard that he had broken into a series of accounts linked to National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper. They included his home telephone and Internet, his personal email and his wife's Yahoo email account, according to the site, which is owned by Vice.

The reporter, Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, said Cracka provided him screenshots of some of that material but not Clapper's personal email.

A spokesman for Clapper, Brian Hale, said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was "aware of the matter and reported it to the appropriate authorities."

The FBI is investigating.

(So they admit it took place)

Cracka also claimed to have changed the settings on Clapper's home phone number, provided by Verizon FIOS, so that every call would be forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement, Motherboard reported. The ODNI confirmed that.

(He changed the settings on Barry's phone too. When you call the WH a phone rings in Kenya)

When the hacking group known as Crackas With Attitude, or CWA, last year gained access to Brennan's account, they said it was in "opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support to Palestine."

One of the hackers who cracked Brennan's account last year told Wired magazine that he gained access by posing as a Verizon worker and tricking another employee into divulging Brennan's personal information.

Using that data, the hackers were able to reset the password on Brennan's AOL account, Wired reported.

It is not clear whether Cracka similarly used "social engineering" to gain control of Clapper's FIOS account or employed another method.

What an unadulterated embarrassment!

'Is Sean Penn a CIA spy?'

My first thought.  El Chapo is the most wanted guy on the fucking planet. Sean Penn was able to find him but authorities from around the world could not!

Let's face it Penn has an affinity for associating himself with the less desirable of the world.

Chávez and Castro come to mind.

If the story below is true he may not be around for his 56th birthday.

Not to mention legal problems.

Rolling Stone magazine published this photo to substantiate that Sean Penn met with the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo (Photo: Rolling Stone)

Penn fostered a relationship with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo who had the trust of El Chapo, only then did he agree to be interviewed by the actor.

--------------------------------------------------

As news emerged of the peculiar series of events that led to El Chapo's capture, Twitter was ablaze with one question: Is Sean Penn a CIA spy?

The actor met with the world's most wanted drug lord in the jungle to ask him a handful of Hollywood-worthy questions such as 'do you dream?' and 'how would you define yourself?'

And then just hours after the Sinaloa cartel leader was detained by Mexican marines, the Rolling Stone published a lyrical 10,000-word account of their meeting.

Supposedly the entire 'clandestine horror show' - as Penn put it - was part of a research project to develop a Netflix-style drama about Guzmán and his prison break.

Though Penn insists he went to extreme lengths to hide the meeting from authorities, the details have sparked widespread speculation that he was in fact tapped by the CIA to locate the fugitive criminal - just as screenwriters were enlisted to make Argo to free US hostages in Iran in 1979.

Mexican authorities knew about the meeting between Penn and El Chapo in October and were close to launching a raid on him that month but had to abort it because he was with two women and a child. 

The Rolling Stone piece in which Sean Penn documents his daring journey to Mexico to meet up with El Chapo Guzmán, ultimately led to the kingpin's recapture, six months after his elaborate prison break.

'Is Sean Penn a CIA spy?'

Hillary Clinton is "too big to jail"

After reading this article I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach. I sure as hell hope this story doesn't come to pass. But I suspect it will especially after I read the last paragraph.

 I seem to remember like 157 documented visits by the IRS to the WH before the scandal broke… and now it has all but disappeared.

 http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-oreilly-rails-irs-commishs-157-white-house-visits-a-smoking-gun/

We all know what happened to Petraeus concerning his handling of classified material. What he did is minuscule compared to Killary. I'm not a lawyer but the fact she deleted 31,000 emails after she was issued a subpoena indicates to me she broke the law right there. Tampering with evidence comes to mind.

If Killary is indicted and goes to trial (the trial in all likelihood wouldn't take place until after the election) but the damage done would be so great even the MSM won't be able to rescue her. It effectively puts a Republican in the WH. Knowing this administration that ain't gonna happen. Hope I have to eat crow.

As much as I hate the Clinton's I just can't visualize this. 

On the other hand...

Another Friday has passed and with it more of Hillary Clinton's emails. At latest count nearly 700 of her emails, emails that were stored on a private, unsecured server, contained information of various levels of classification. At least two of those emails have been identified as originating with data from a KH-series photo-reconnaissance satellite and had the classification of Top Secret and required handling within a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. The FBI's Counterintelligence Division is now engaged in an investigation. And FBI Director James Comey has vowed to follow the case wherever the evidence leads. But is that true?

Attorneys who have handled classified information cases say the bureau, initially asked to examine whether Clinton's arrangement compromised national security secrets, ultimately will have to consider whether she and her aides failed to sufficiently safeguard sensitive information.

They disagree about whether there's enough evidence to prosecute her or her aides for sending and receiving government messages over the personal email system. routed through a private computer server in the basement of her New York home.

But most who spoke to McClatchy say it's unlikely the former first lady, senator and Cabinet secretary will face charges because of her high profile and the hurdle to prove she knew the emails contained classified information when she sent them to others.

"She's too big to jail," said national security attorney Edward MacMahon Jr., who represented former CIA employee Jeffrey Sterling in 2011 in a leak case that led to an espionage prosecution and 3½-year prison term. He cited a pattern of light punishments for top government officials who have mishandled classified information while lower level whistleblowers such as Sterling have faced harsh prosecutions for revealing sensitive information to expose waste, fraud or abuse in government.

It is no coincidence that his article has been published now, relying on people familiar with the investigation. As with everything else concerning this administration, politics is everything. Were this not a primary season and Hillary Clinton not the front runner for the Democrat nomination she might conceivably be in legal jeopardy. But that is not the case. Obama is faced with a stark choice. He may either let this investigation proceed and see the Democrat nominee indicted… or he can sandbag the investigation.

Already, Obama has tried to send a rather public message that the investigation needs to end. It is really difficult to find another example of any president trying to tamper with an ongoing investigation as brazenly as this guy.

Then there is this nugget. James Covey has been engaged in a rather public spat with the White House over the Black Lives Matter bunch, and the impact of police brutality investigations, and the need to reduce  incarceration.

On Thursday, the president met with Mr. Comey in the Oval Office to discuss his views. The White House declined to describe the conversation.

 A cynic might connect the available dots in a different way and think that Comey was called to the White House, using the public statements by Covey as a cover, to tell him to leave Hillary alone and to finish up his investigation fast. This article appearing shortly thereafter is just to put him on notice that the Administration is serious.

Once upon a time we were a nation where the same basic set of rules applied to everyone. The legacy of the Obama administration will be the end of the very idea that that is the case anymore.
