Florida man who tried hacking into Clinton Foundation sentenced to 18 months in prison
Source: Bangor Daily News
Before U.S. intelligence officials began investigating Russian-led cyberattacks in the 2016 presidential election, a Florida man reportedly made 400,000 attempts to hack into the Clinton Foundations computer network, claiming he was a private investigator researching whether the charity was inadvertently providing funding to Islamist militant groups.
That man, Timothy Sedlak, 44, of Ocoee, Florida, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court Monday to 18 months in prison for attempting to access the global charitable organizations computers without authorization, and as a result, recklessly causing damage to the foundations computers, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Sedlak was arrested in September 2015 and pleaded guilty in February. Officials never identified the Manhattan-based global charity that was targeted, but Reuters obtained a court filing that stated federal agents questioned Sedlak about notes they found with references to then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
The court documents, which were later redacted, stated Sedlak told the agents the Clintons came up in his research, Reuters reported.

(50,562 posts)When the cops searched his home for evidence into the Clinton Foundation hacking, they found pictures of him molesting a one-year-old child, and more pictures of him molesting the same child at the age of three. They also found "hundreds" of pieces of child pornography downloaded from the Internet. He got 42 years in a federal license plate factory for producing and distributing child pornography. The 18 months he got for trying to hack the Clinton Foundation's server will be served concurrently.
Is it just me, or are all child pornographers Republicans?

(22 posts)Maybe not all child pornographers are Republicans but the Republican Party, especially the far Right variety does contain many unhinged deranged people. Kind of creepy that Mike Flynn and his psycho son promoted that horrid lie about the D.C. pizza parlor being a child abuse center led by Hillary Clinton and Mike Podesta. It was such a wacko story but believed by so many RW nuts. Go figure. Poor victim of this jerk. I hope the child is safe and receiving help.
