It’s almost as if the Republicans never really cared about Hillary Clinton’s emails. Via Newsweek:
“Representative Elijah Cummings said Thursday the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform had obtained documents showing that former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland discussed transferring sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, according to a letter released publicly.
“Cummings’s letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone alleged that the documents showed McFarland used her personal AOL email account for official purposes, coordinating with White House officials and Tom Barrack—a friend of President Donald Trump and the chair of his inaugural committee—about sending the technology to the Saudis.
“Cummings also wrote that the House committee, which he chairs, had obtained documents that appeared to show Bannon received messages to his personal email from Barrack about the technology transfer.
“These communications appear to be sent while Mr. Bannon worked at the White House in order to inform Mr. Bannon’s official work relating to developing ‘broader middle east policy,'” the letter read.”
In todays world exactly zero (0) information is secure from the prying eyes of the NSA.
If the NSA can capture every jot and tittle sent by computer and phone then so can the Russians, the Chinese, the Israelis and anyone else in the world who cares to.
The point being that the intelligence community and our politicians are working a scam on us when it comes to using “secure lines” and “encrypted messaging” as protection, because there ain’t no such thing.
The Republicans know that and don’t give a damn and that goes for the Democrats as well.
It’s all politics.
