This is good. No, this is great, in terms of Kra$h being an imbecile! What an entertaining way to show, yet again, that Kra$h is another moron in the ‘cabinet’. Is there anyone with intelligence there? Marco? Anyone? What happened cannot be exactly considered good, but it’s still funny, at least to me. With appreciation to Raw Story:
The Justice Department (DOJ) confirmed Friday that the personal email of FBI Director Kash Patel was compromised by an Iran-linked hacking group, sparking an uproar from critics who noted the irony in a top national security official not securing their own personal email account. “The FBI boss who’s supposed to protect America couldn’t even lock down his own inbox from foreign spies,” wrote liberal influencer Ed Krassenstein on Friday in a social media post on X to his more than 1 million followers. “How does this scream ‘strong on national security’?”
Doesn’t Patel know anything about email security? Doesn’t the FBI know about software security? What’s wrong with this picture? Even I know the basics, and I’m not a computer geek anymore. Does this give you warm fuzzy feelings of confidence about our country? Me, either. What the hell is going ON here?
The group that claimed responsibility for the security breach is Handala Hack, which is affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, per the DOJ. Earlier this month, the DOJ issued a $10 million reward for information on any of its members.
In a defiant statement published on Friday, Handala Hack said that the $10 million reward was what motivated them to release Patel’s personal files and photos. The group mocked the FBI for how “easily” its security was breached. “The so-called ‘impenetrable’ systems of the FBI were brought to their knees within hours by our team,” reads a statement from the hacking group.
“All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, conversations, documents, and even classified files, is now available for public download. This is the security that the U.S. government boasts about?! If your director can be compromised this easily, what do you expect from your lower-level employees?”
Ouch. What *can* we expect? Not much, it seems. Did he fire all his software gurus? We knew the FBI was bleeding talent and experience by firing people when Kra$h took over. But this? This is a disaster. We don’t know how much they got. A lot? Probably. What happened to the FBI? Is that answer just Kra$h? How much has been lost now? We can be sure that they kept everything. It seems that his stupidity has put us in a bind. We’re in a war with Iran. Willing to bet that they have a lot of information that they can now make use of on their side. What can they manipulate? Wonderful.
Krassenstein was not alone in mocking Patel for his alleged incompetence. Journalist Max Blumenthal took aim at Patel specifically over a select few photos released by the hacking group that appeared to show the FBI director on a trip to Cuba, which the Trump administration is currently starving of resources with crippling sanctions that have shuttered hospitals and made food scarce.
“While US federal agents harass Americans for bringing humanitarian aid to Cuba, seizing their phones and subjecting them to interrogations at airports, photos surface of FBI Director Kash Patel on a trip to Havana enjoying cigars, rum and local culture,” Blumenthal wrote Friday in a social media post.
We seem to have moved into a mega-maladministration. This is nonsense. Hurting Cuba – for no apparent reason. Our FBI “director” was hacked. We don’t know exactly what information the hackers got, so we don’t know how to protect against it. We don’t know if the FBI is going to take a look at their software protections. They need to – that’s for certain! It might be a good idea for them to poke around the web. Has the group stolen information from other places in our government? This is a setback we certainly didn’t need on top of the war. Stop the world. I want to get off. It’s really expensive to try to move somewhere else, and family here.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Hmm. I wonder if this will get the same level of “investigations” as Hillary’s emails did?
*snort* ya think? Ahahahahahahaha!
Trump himself explains why we have such an idiotic imbecilic moron in charge of the FBI.
“I hang out with losers because it makes me feel better,” said Trump, “I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people who like to listen to my success.”
Indeed it explains the entire staffing of his whole regime.
Of course, he set himself a difficult task, finding people more stupid and less able than he is, nevertheless it does appear to be his only real achievement.
Hmmm, I thought I wrote about that. Well, whether I did or not, you are absolutely correct!
