The ‘email election’
November 3, 2016 · 0 Comments
WHOEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, 50 or so years ago, that what were thought to be private communications might determine a U.S. presidential election?
As matters stand, no voter next Thursday is likely to have even the faintest idea what will be found in an estimated 650,000 emails found in a single computer, much less whether any one of them will suggest that as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did anything beyond using a private email service for communications that should have been made via a government website.
Previously portrayed by FBI Director James Comey (a lifelong Republican) as involving nothing more than extreme carelessness, the emails thus-far examined might well have better been sent using the government server.
However, recent Wikileaks disclosures (perhaps made with help from Moscow) suggest that no emails via any server are beyond the reach of a hacker.
