Clinton Foundation Said to Be Breached by Russian Hackers

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation was among the organizations breached by suspected Russian hackers in a dragnet of the U.S. political apparatus ahead of the November election, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The attacks on the foundation’s network, as well as those of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, compound concerns about her digital security even as the FBI continues to investigate her use of a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state.

Clinton Foundation officials said the organization hadn’t been notified of the breach and declined to comment further. The compromise of the foundation’s computers was first identified by government investigators as recently as last week, the people familiar with the matter said. Agents monitor servers used by hackers to communicate with their targets, giving them a back channel view of attacks, often even before the victims detect them.

Thousands of Documents

The thefts set the stage for what could be a Washington remake of the public shaming that shook Sony in 2014, when thousands of inflammatory internal e-mails filled with gossip about world leaders and Hollywood stars were made public. Donor information and opposition research on Trump purportedly stolen from the Democratic Party has surfaced online, and the culprit has threatened to publish thousands more documents.

A hacker or group of hackers calling themselves Guccifer 2.0 posted another trove of documents purportedly from the DNC on Tuesday, including what they said was a list of donors who had made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.

The Republican Party and the Trump campaign have been mostly silent on the computer attacks. In an earlier statement, Trump said the hack was a political ploy concocted by the Democrats.

Information about the scope of the attacks and the government warnings raises new questions about how long the campaigns have known about the threats and whether they have done enough to protect their systems.

The Clinton campaign was aware as early as April that it had been targeted by hackers with links to the Russian government on at least four recent occasions, according to a person familiar with the campaign’s computer security.

Not hard to believe, but let's see those documents first...

========================

Russian President Vladimir Putin used a common idiom to brand former President Bill Clinton and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton as two sides of the same coin, with a rather negative connotation.

Putin quoted a familiar Russian proverb: "As we say, husband and wife are the same Satan," the Russian president said, laughing. The expression seems extreme to American ears, but it is well-known in that Eastern European country.

The president's comments came during an 80-question Q&A session broadcast live on Channel One, Rossiya-1, and Rossiya-24 TV which lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes. This is an annual event for Putin, and his record is 4 hours and 48 minutes. Notably, Putin also praised Obama for admitting that he had made a serious blunder in not planning adequately for the fall of Moammar Qaddafi's government in Libya.

A caller asked Putin, "Who is worse for Russia: Clinton or Trump?" The Russian president laughed and skirted the question. Instead, he warned America against "imperial ambitions," in a long tirade about American foreign policy attitudes.

He did return to Clinton, however, in comments defending Russia's political scene as not the only one with problems. He attacked American politics for being dominated by only two parties, saying that this system props up some political dynasties.

Thus, Bill and Hillary are "the same Satan." Beelzebub follows Lucifer in the succession of Hell, and so one Clinton must follow another.

#Nevertrumps, cheap labor express, Rinos* in power, crony capitalist interests, big government employee interests will thrive and love the Clinton II Administration.

Hillary hit the "reset" with "mother Russia," and they have their future plans ready to go.

Rinos in power mean those in office now, plus those in lobbying firms, etc.

Because he wants Trump?  Not sure that makes sense.  If he had things to blackmail Hillary with, wouldn't he be keeping his mouth shut?  Or, does he want Trump instead?

The hacker apparently wasn't Russian, so no russian hackers.

I think he'd probably prefer to deal with Trump, for a variety of reasons -- chief among them being Trump's willingness to negotiate on pretty much anything.  Not to mention Putin probably understands Trump a lot better than he does Hillary Clinton.
