129. Why do you automatically assume his testimony will be used on Hillary?

We know he hacked Blumenthal, and we know Blumenthal had information he wasn't supposed to have (because he was sending it to Hillary).

Interesting that you also automatically assume Hillary is the target, and then hope "intent" will save her from her any harm caused by her actions.

Isn't this saying that he did indeed hack into her computer? jwirr May 2016 #15

We don't have the details yet about which ones he is pleading guilty to, but IdaBriggs May 2016 #20

Thank you. jwirr May 2016 #24

If he lied about anything, e.g., hacking her server/2gb, his other testimony would be less credible. JudyM May 2016 #55

No. He "hacked" Blumenthal's AOL account. That's what this has all been about. Recursion May 2016 #62

And he's lying, because he provides no evidence to support that claim. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #121

That doesn't mean he's lying. He did have Bill Clinton's droodles from his WH days. pdsimdars Jun 2016 #131

Many of the top intelligence officials past and present ASSUME she was hacked. pdsimdars May 2016 #109
