Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Behind Servergate

Ms. Clinton's closest aid and friend is Iranian. Oh, she recently promised not to mess with email archives. You see, she had a personal account on the server holding national secrets.

Her input and friendship would be worth serious money to Iran. Why else would anyone want personal control over secret data?

Why was the impossibly stupid agreement with Iran finalized? Consider that merely by making an agreement, stupid or not, billions of dollars are to be released to Iran. Oh, yes, what is Obama's middle name?

Let us look at Ms. Clinton server company:



Daily Mail

EXCLUSIVE: Top executive at Hillary's server company was sued for 'fraud' after 'receiving proceeds' from $500m Ponzi scheme run by Backstreet Boys impresario... Platte River Networks maintained 'home brew' server Clinton used while Secretary of State


  • This week the embattled Democratic White House frontrunner handed it over to FBI after ultra-secret material found in tiny sample of emails

  • Daily Mail Online can reveal David DeCamillis of Platte River Networks was director of firm run by Lou Pearlman, who r's an $500m Ponzi scheme

  • Pearlman was jailed in 2008 and documents show that DeCamillis was sued for 'fraud' by bankruptcy trustee

  • Federal court documents show he was accused of several counts of fraud and receiving $1.5m in payments from cash traceable to duped investors

  • Disclosure raises questions what background checks - if any - were made on firm which….


Breitbart:

We’ll be hearing a lot more in the days to come about Platte River Networks, the tiny computer company in Denver, Colorado that Hillary Clinton improbably chose to manage the illicit “home-brewed” server she stashed in the basement of her vast estate in Chappaqua, New York.

The FBI reportedly visited the company’s Denver office earlier this week, but neither the Bureau nor company officials was willing to discuss what transpired during the visit. The best CBS News in Denver could do, by way of background reporting, was chat with a computer-science professor who observed that there were “questions about what security protocols were in place,” and mildly observed that Platte River Networks did not seem like “the best choice” for handling the secret personal server of the Secretary of State and her top aides, which we now know was processing classified and top-secret information, contrary to months of false denials from Hillary Clinton and her mouthpieces.
There is, no doubt, a fascinating story behind how Clinton chose this particular outfit for her server management needs. They do seem to be extraordinarily skilled at wiping hard drives without making backup copies of subpoenaed information, which would certainly have caught Clinton’s eye while she was leafing through their sales brochure.
Were employees of Platte River cleared to handle the top-secret information Clinton was handling? Did they have experience and training at securing a system that would have been one of the top targets in the world for hackers – and not just freelance troublemakers, but skilled espionage agents working for foreign governments? Were the interactions of company representatives with Clinton’s server logged as carefully as State Department IT specialists would have been? Was the company careful and disciplined enough to handle such a sensitive assignment?
A clue to the latter question is provided by a strange incident that occurred after Clinton departed as Secretary of State, resulting in a lawsuit being filed against Platte River last year. As chronicled by the UK Daily Mailthe computer company was sued by a telecommunications firm, T2 Communications, for its role in illegally accessing the master database of all U.S. telephone numbers, and using that information to improperly seize control of 390 phone lines… including some used by the White House and Defense Department.
T2 alleges that it had provided 16 phone lines to an insurance broker called Cambridge until they decided to switch providers and signed up with Windstream Communications, who worked with McLeod USA, a local exchange carrier owned by Windstream, and Platte River.
But instead of taking over the 16 lines, T2 claims that the companies asked for 390 more lines in what they called ‘intentional misappropriation’.
T2 alleges that they did this by illegally accessing the database for the Number Portability Administration Centre, the master agency which manages all US phone numbers.
The lawsuit states: ‘Under NPAC regulations, telecommunications providers are only allowed to access the NPAC data base for the exclusive purpose of routing, rating of calls, billing of calls, or performing maintenance in connection with the provision of telecommunications services.
‘Contrary to these NPAC regulations, Defendants accessed the NPAC database to find T2s 390 telephone lines as well as to obtain T2 and its customers’ proprietary network information for use in marketing T2’s lines to their existing and prospective customers.’
The lawsuit describes at length the chaos that resulted when the 390 numbers used by T2 customers suddenly stopped working.
T2 employees’ numbers also stopped working as did lines for: ‘The Department of Defense, Department of Energy; multiple medical emergency facilities as numbers used for general, pre- and post-surgical contact, and obstetric or gynecological emergencies; Federal Contract Support Desks; White House Military Operations support desks, several financial institution’s main telephone numbers, multiple Denver-based Charter schools’ main and backdoor phone numbers, a US-Based telephone number for IBM China, multiple other information technology companies and their support and internal telephone numbers, as well as T2’s main telephone numbers’.
The lawsuit states that the lines were dead for at least 21 hours and that it took the company at least 10 days to ‘unwind’ the mess and get the numbers back.
...Platte River’s role in all of this, according to the lawsuit, involved “spotting any red flags” and “resolving any inaccuracies” with the deal. The suit says Hillary’s computer company “acted negligently and breached this duty by failing to identify that the 390 additional lines were improper.”


Breitbart

The company that stored Hillary Clinton’s private email server tells Breitbart News no backup of Clinton’s server has ever been known to exist.

“No data or backups have ever been known to exist or have ever been in the possession of Platte River Networks,” a representative for the company said in an interview.
The revelation raises grave questions about Clinton’s record-keeping, considering that she used another server at her home that is no longer in anyone’s possession — let alone FBI investigator

As Breitbart News first reported, Clinton’s email account contained multiple emails that were classified when they were first sent, despite her campaign’s claim to the contrary. The State Department has already found more than 300 emails from Clinton’s inbox that could contain classified information.
Platte River Networks tells Breitbart News that it doesn’t know whether any security breaches occurred on the server prior to June 2013.
The company representative confirmed that Denver-based Platte River Networks was hired by the Clinton family in June 2013, five months after Clinton left the State Department, to secure the private email server that she used to conduct official government business. Platte River Networks was paid by the Clintons personally.
The company went to Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, New York, picked the server up from her basement, and transported it to a different company’s data center in New Jersey. The data center was selected by Platte River, and not by the Clintons or by anyone at the State Department.

Would you personally pay for a large, secured server used for your work?
