actually running Clinton's server, and was the one who turned it off temporarily when it was hacked early on. The most significant assertion in the Morris article is that Cooper has access to and was operating the server despite, Morris writes, that Cooper does not and never had a security clearance. I was able to confirm in a NYT report from last year that Cooper did install and initially set up the server in Clinton's house, however I was not able to find reference elsewhere to the rest.

Another thing that may have set some off is discussion of Cooper's connection to Teneo Holdings run by Doug Band who for years was Bill Clinton's closest aide and who had a major role in setting up the Clinton Foundation. Band was dropped several years ago from Clinton's entourage for, as a New Republic article linked on the thread put it, being "a gate keeper who charges a toll." The article also discusses Band's relationship with Huma Abedin, Hillary's close aide, who was also on the Teneo payroll.

Paul's post was hidden 6-1 last night. This points out two things: the danger of sourcing to figures and publications considered anethema on DU, and the desire to close off discussion on these subjects. A bad hide.
