VIP level protection in Pakistan. You're not getting her out (or him) with less than a SEAL team.

Well, another possibility, EC: drone home. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).

Wow. Thanks for that link. So much has made so little sense for so long, people were just beginning to think they were nuts. I wonder how many Republicans are in similar straits? Maybe that would explain some behaviour on the Hill.

Shouldn't the FBI be the ones investigating this? Or is this the Hillary method of investigation?

This has all the look of a seriously big problem.

Since it just went international, I would reckon it is the jurisdiction of the spooks.

Elsewhere, maybe, but there is some serious investigating that needs to be done right in the swamp, before the servers get wiped.

They were IT. There will be no trace.

I guess I don't know that - If they were general IT staff, or if they worked for a particular senate or house office... and even if IT, what positions were held. But even as helldesk, I could easily copy data and get it out of the building before uploading.

Of everyone who must be above reproach and political affiliation, it should be IT... even foremost.

The implication members are being blackmailed doesn't say good things.

Add a "randomly" murdered staffer and allegations from Wikileaks that he passed on e-mails and this plot increases in viscosity, too.

Which begs the question; If they can find this stuff why can't our professionally trained investigative people find it?

This one may be responsive to that: http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/09/suspect-in-house-it-security-probe-also-had-access-to-dnc-emails/

I would be very surprised if the servers weren't wiped long ago.

Democratic Aide Suspected Of Top-Level Security Breach Just Fled The USA!

A democratic information technology administrator for House and Senate members on intelligence committees who was suspected of leaking highly classified information has fled the USA for her native Pakistan. 

@Bigun

Don't ya just hate it when that happens?

As I remember it, these guys were fired shortly after a covert operation went wrong and some of our people died. It was clear the enemy knew we were coming and the story implied that these IT people may well have had something to do with the leaked intelligence.
