Sounds like the hacker believed in picking the Low(IQ)-hanging fruit.
Theres a serious side to this. Most of the legitimate Liberian princes I know are having a problem moving those funds to the U.S. Bossert made a big mistake not clicking that link.

They didnā€™t dare. The OECD has the whole thing tied up while they debate Best Practices for Best Practices.
Thereā€™s only one solution:

That was the first thing that occurred to me. But I quickly dismissed the idea because ukky couldnā€™t fool anyone.

Heā€™s had enough practice so that he knows he canā€™t fool Democrats.

Itā€™s a fake administration, so fake emails make sense.

Our enemies abroad will never have a better chance at injuring the United States than they have now with the circus of incompetents known as the Trump* White House.

Maybe thatā€™s why Kelly took the CoS job.

Thereā€™s nothing Kelly can do about the greatest domestic threat to the US, aka his boss.

Hereā€™s a little ā€œBREAKING NEWS!ā€ about someone who absolutely loooves ā€œtricksā€:
Brave Iron-Spined Warrior and currently the leading candidate in the running to play Ouiser Boudreaux in the new Charleston Theater-In-The-Round production of ā€œSteel Magnoliasā€ Senator Lindsey Graham now wants an all-out war with North Korea and China because, hell, what could go wrong? And whoā€™s going to be worrying about any of this piddling Russia stuff when we are so busy shoveling up American servicemen killed as a result? - something which our dear Lindsey didnā€™t stop for 5 seconds to think about:


Nothing like sage military advice from a guy who had to pad his service record to win an election:

There is just soo much packed into this story.

  1. It wasnā€™t just WH aides. It was the freaking team Jared put together to combat cyber threats. The same Jared that created a huge data operation out of thin in air in a matter of weeks. Because he knows technology.

  2. Look at how quickly, and easily, they were willing to go off their .gov email accounts to conduct business. With Jared Kushner. I know I am getting older, but I seem to recall reading something about it being bad for government employees to conduct business on private email accounts. Somewhere. It might have been just an obscure, stand alone post.

As a side noteā€¦the day after Priebus got fired, the RNC sent out an email requesting that every RNC record of the campaign be saved and archived.

Somebody is definitely talking :wink:
