Related: About this forumThe Bill Clinton doodles. If they didn't come from the Clinton's hacked server then where?
I've gotten some pushback from stating that it's my opinion these images released from Guccifer are in fact from Clintons private server.
Some have said that they are from the Clinton library but that was because nobody new of Hillary's unique email arrangement at the time. Here's the original link
http://gawker.com/new-hacked-presidential-art-may-be-bill-clintons-white-1476802573
We need to remember Bill's server was updated by Brian Pagliano for Hillary to use so it's very possible that Bill's data was still present on the drives.
So if it wasn't Hillary's server then where did the images come from?

(11,366 posts)That's just a fact of life now days.
It's just that some have better security software, better security protocols and better physical security than others. For example, our national defense secrets are kept on SIPRnet or JWICS. Both of these are closed-loop systems that cannot be emailed into or out of. They don't face the public in any way and you have to be in a SCIF (a metal plated office, essentially) to access them. There is also a team of well-trained professionals monitoring them 24/7.
But other government, like the OPM, which was hacked, for example, have servers that face the public, can be emailed into and out of and don't have the high-level of security SIPRnet and JWICS do. Obviously, most government offices need to be accessible to the public and they have more employees with access, so they're more susceptible to phishing attacks, for example.
Still, the OPM was better protected than the Clinton server, which was unencrypted for the first months of its use, didn't need a dual-authentication VPN in order to access it (it could be accessed directly from the Internet) and didn't have an IT security team monitoring it.

Like I said before the library was brought up because nobody knew of Hillary's server at the time.

(11,366 posts)Even more mysterious, our request to the William Clinton Foundation for doodles (we appealed directly to the foundation because the Clinton Presidential Library did not open to the public until 2006) was turned down by Clintons press office.
According to an archives technician at the Clinton Presidential Library, "We currently have no doodles on display and there are no plans for a future exhibit in the works. As far as I know there are no doodles in our open files at this time."

(1,893 posts)It like part of the email thing: team chi ton says they used 'key word search' to determine which emails were personal and which were government.... That doesn't mean they did my also have staff also eyeballing the emails after keyword search was done.

(50,130 posts)Bill Clinton is well known for doodling on official papers that might be in front of him. In a meeting, on the phone.....he doodles.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Nope. there were already unmarked copies of this documents on whatever servers the people produced them used. these are not them. these could be plucked out of the garbage for all we know- that is much more likely than someone scanning meaningless scrap paper.
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)A. Most of them are in the margins of official documents, so they would be scanned.
B. It's a cottage industry. Books have been written about presidential doodles. They're often saved. Apparently, a president's doodle is of more value than what you and I draw on notepads when we're on the phone at work.
These series of Bill's doodles (which includes the penis and the fry cook next to the acronym FRY) was on paperwork that had been marked "secret" at the time:
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Other people might save them- but the Clintons, on their own server- highly unlikely.
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)and the Foundation probably saved such minutia.
May 21, 2010 to October 21, 2010: Computer records suggest Clinton's private server could be located at The Clinton Foundation's headquarters. According to publicly available computer records, the IP (Internet Protocol) address for the mail.presidentclinton.com server is 24.187.234.187 from at least 2009 to 2011. Records also show that mail.clintonemail.com server has the same exact IP address, 24.187.234.187, from at least May 21, 2010 to October 21, 2010. That means the two servers must have been in the same location for that overlapping time period. Computer records can also indicate where the IP addresses are physically located, and that IP address at that time is somewhere in the middle of Manhattan, New York City. That makes sense for presidentclinton.com, since former President Bill Clinton's offices are there, and The Clinton Foundation headquarters is also there. But that would suggest that Hillary Clinton's clintonemail.com server used for all her secretary of state work is also based in Manhattan and not Chappaqua, New York, for at least part of 2010. (DNS History, 9/7/2015) (DNS History, 9/7/2015) [https://web.archive.org/web/20150903235435/http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip=64.94.172.146 (IP Tracker, 9/3/2015)
The server was later moved to the Chappaqua home sometime between 2009 and 2013, as evidenced by where it was shipped from as it was allegedly decommissioned.
May 31, 2013: Clinton hires the Colorado-based Platte River Networks to maintain her email server. The original server is disconnected and shipped from Clinton's house in Chappaqua, New York, to a data center in New Jersey. (The Associated Press, 10/7/2015) (McClatchy Newspapers, 10/6/2015) This takes place three months after the hacker nicknamed Guccifer made public Clinton's exact email address. However, the process of choosing the company began in January 2013, prior to the Guccifer hack, suggesting the change was due to Clinton's time as secretary of state coming to an end in February 2013 instead. (The Washington Post, 9/5/2015) After moving the original server to New Jersey, Platte River moves all the data onto a new server. Then everything on the original server is deleted until it is "blank." However, it is not wiped, which means having the old files overwritten several times with new data until they can never be recovered. Platte River keeps the original server and eventually will turn it over to the FBI in August 2015. The FBI then apparently will be able to recover Clinton's emails from it. (The Washington Post, 9/12/2015)

The point is that there was a lot of intra-connectivity between the private servers and anything could end up on one or the other.

(146,317 posts)Makes sense. The Library contains all of Bill Clinton's papers. There would be no earthly reason for those scanned documents to be on Hillary's State Department server. Perhaps Guccifer hacked into the Clinton Library computer, as said in the Gawker article.
I have no way of verifying any of that, but I can't see any reason for those doodles or the documents they were on being on Hillary's State Department server. Can you?

(11,366 posts)As Gawker notes, the Clinton Foundation has long resisted making these documents public, but we'll have to see if that stance changes now that some have made an abrupt appearance.
Per NBC: http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/archive/Clintonian-Doodles-Need-Public-Airing.htm
But the Clinton Foundation -- the only people the authors could consult at the time of publication because the Clinton Presidential Library wasn't open yet.
Even more mysterious, our request to the William Clinton Foundation for doodles (we appealed directly to the foundation because the Clinton Presidential Library did not open to the public until 2006) was turned down by Clintons press office.

Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)They really don't understand this and really aren't attempting to try.
The accusations about the security of the server and the data flowing through it are serious charges - not some partisan committee out to "get" the Clintons.
I can understand why many have "Clinton Investigation Fatigue," but this is one case where we shouldn't.

I know half the shit the Republicans come up with against the Clintons is purely political. I just don't think this case is. You don't bring in the FBI for partisan witch hunts.
