When a White House coverup becomes no longer tenable - and the POTUS is a Democrat - you release the scandal piecemeal, in dribs and drabs that will run under the radar of an allied media that has no desire to or interest in exposing or covering it. Whatever initial headline splash there is is all their is, and by the time the true scope of the suppressed disaster comes to light, it will already be "old news". It's a tried & true technique that La Clinton Nostra pioneered twenty years ago, and which the Obama Regime has perfected.
And is now putting on masterful display:
The Obama administration for more than a week avoided disclosing the severity of an intrusion into federal computers by defining it as two breaches but divulging just one, said people familiar with the matter.
That approach has frustrated lawmakers as they probe the administration’s handling of one of the biggest-ever thefts of government records.
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation suspect China was behind the hack of Office of Personnel Management databases discovered in April, and that those hackers accessed not only personnel files but security-clearance forms, current and former U.S. officials said. Such forms contain information that foreign intelligence agencies could use to target espionage operations. Chinese officials have said they weren’t involved.
The administration on June 4th disclosed the breach of personnel files — but not the security-clearance theft. That theft was disclosed a week later, even though investigators knew about it much earlier, people familiar with the situation said. [emphases added]
One more disastrous Obama fait accompli. The damage is now done, and cannot be undone, and if anybody criticizes the Regime for it or seeks to hold them accountable of their derelictions, they'll be denounced and vituperated as "racists".
None dare call it "inside job sabotage"....except me.
And about that security clearance theft, or the oceanic depth of Beijing's cyberheist to compliment its ever-widening gyre of width.....:
A senior U.S. official has confirmed that foreign hackers compromised the intimate personal details of an untold number of government workers. Likely included in the hackers’ haul: information about workers’ sexual partners, drug and alcohol abuse, debts, gambling compulsions, marital troubles, and any criminal activity.
Those details, which are now presumed to be in the hands of Chinese spies, are found in the so-called “adjudication information” that U.S. investigators compile on government employees and contractors who are applying for security clearances. The exposure suggests that the massive computer breach at the Office of Personnel Management is more significant and potentially damaging to national security than officials have previously said.
Three former U.S. intelligence officials told the Daily Beast that the adjudication information would effectively provide dossiers on current and former government employees, as well as contractors. It gives foreign intelligence agencies a roadmap for finding people with access to the government’s most highly classified secrets.
Obama administration officials had previously acknowledged the breach of information that applicants voluntarily disclose on a routine questionnaire, called Standard Form 86, but the theft of the more detailed and wide-ranging adjudication information appears to have gone overlooked. [emphases added]
And deliberately so. But then, it was all deliberate on the part of this White House. It could not, in point of fact, be any other way. The scope of this breach is just too huge. In fact, I daresay this is the biggest counterespionage failure in the history of the human "species". Which is amusingly ironic. Consider it for a moment: the most secretive, opaque, diametric-opposite-of-transparent administration in American history has imposed total, buck-nekkid transparency upon every last national security secret we ever had and every federal employee and job applicant alive and who has ever lived going back to when the federal government could be run out of a POTUS's den.
This redefines the threshold of gallows humor, folks. Yet another plank in the Obama legacy, assuming he ever leaves.
In case you wanted a quantification of the width of O's cyberbreach (why bother blaming the ChiComm perps and omit the facilitator?), that count is up to ten percent of the entire U.S. population and rising:
Data breaches at the Office of Personnel Management may have affected thirty-two million current, former and prospective federal employees, Representative Jason Chaffetz said Wednesday.
That number could include potential military enlistees, as well, he told a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which he chairs.
That number comes from the agency’s fiscal 2016 budget proposal, in which it notes that OPM stores more personally identifiable information than any other agency.
That includes “banking information for more than two million annuitants and background investigations for more than thirty million people,” the budget document states. [emphases added]
And remember, this is the Regime that wants to collect and store ALL the personal information of ALL Americans in gigantic, hackable federal databases. Hell, at this point, is it not safe to assume that the ChiComms already have that information as well? And think what they can do with it; imagine just the identity theft implications when an entire country's population has had its bank account and credit card information looted; think what they could do to the U.S. economy without ever hacking into, say, the New York Stock Exchange's computers, or those of the NASDAQ, which I have no doubt they've already done. It's reminiscent of what the Japanese did in the Tom Clancy novel Debt Of Honor. And they're just two examples.
As "Failure Theater" usual, Chairman Chaffetz only went after the small fry:
For Archuleta, it was the latest appearance before angry lawmakers demanding answers about the personal information, including information used for background investigations for those seeking a security clearance. Some lawmakers have urged the White House to fire her.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, a Utah-3 Republican, said Wednesday he had no confidence in Archuleta.
“I think you are part of the problem,” Chaffetz said. “That hurricane has come and blown this building down, and I don’t want to hear about putting boards up on windows (now). It’s time for you to go.”
And yet....Barack Obama has total confidence in her. As well he should, because she has carried out his instructions to the letter. In fact, I bet she's doubled her 2015 performance bonus.
The problem isn't Katherine Archuleta, Chairman Chaffetz. The problem is that we have an Islamocommunist traitor barricaded in the
I wonder how much Mandarin Chinese language classes cost.
