NBC: She (Hicks) portrayed herself as not savvy in matters of technology.

[kpete]

Maybe Hicks should have had a private home server

Newly-resigned White House communications director Hope Hicks told the House Intelligence Committee last week that two of her email addresses had been hacked. NBC News reported Wednesday that Hicks informed the committee when answering a routine question that she was locked out of both her personal email address and the one she used when working on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. One of those emails had been hacked, she told them, but did not specify which. [b]Four people familiar with Hicks’ testimony told NBC that she “portrayed herself as not savvy in matters of technology.”

1. The irony of it.

In plain language, "The chickens are coming home to roost."

Careless with e-mails?

Maybe the Russians have them -- or can find them?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. "Like I just like... toootally got hackted. As if!!"

3. Don't worry, Hope

there are plenty of digital forensic experts at the FBI who can find your 'lost' emails,

[Cuthbert Allgood]

4. Yeah, because one gets to be a communications director

by not understanding that fancy new eeeelectronic mail and fancy intertubes thing-a-mabobs.

[Zoonart]

10. Yeah... what absolute Bull Shit!

[Me.]

5. Bridge...Brooklyn

[wishstar]

6. Since she was in email chains involving Papadopoulous, Gates, Page, Kushner, Don Jr. etc.

sounds like a very conveeeeenient excuse, but if she was truly not technically savvy, the FBI can recover those emails or already obtained them from the other parties

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. What BS. She's like 29 years old-- that puts her definitely in the "digital native" generation.

[IluvPitties]

12. I'd say that anyone born after 1980

Can't claim digital ignorance.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. 1980 is often cited as the beginning of the digital natives but my experience...

...working in college instructional tech I'd put it more like around 1985. That would have them entering school about the time computers were starting to seriously take hold in even less affluent K-6 classrooms.

[IluvPitties]

15. I was born in 83

and I started taking computer classes in 6th grade. By the time I was in 9th grade, all of my buddies and I had a PC at home and dial up internet access... so those a bit older than me, those born in 1981 at least, must have had similar access.

8. "And I can't remember my password!"

"And no, I don't see that little 'Forgot Password?' link right underneath. All those emails are gone forever!"

This is sort of like one of those sick "mirror" sequences from the movies.
They accused Clinton of "hiding emails", after all.

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HOPE HICKS UP! LOCK HACKED HICKS UP!

[Grammy23]

16. And thats what IT people are for. Not everyone is a computer guru,

even if they were born in 1990.

But they know there ARE people who actually study these things and are truly experts at doing things with computers that you’ve never heard of. Just tell them your issue and stand back. If she had difficulties retrieving emails, they, no doubt, had an IT person or two on board at the White House. Unless they quit, too.

[gratuitous]

9. Remember how hyperventilating Republicans got, once upon a time?

The idea that a high government official was using a private email server was Lexington and Concord all over again! No evidence or allegation that the email account connected to that server was ever compromised, but boy oh boy, it was "Lock her up" time.

Now, the White House communications director admits to Congress that her email account was hacked, and we can't even get a shrug out of the Republicans. I wonder if this causes a furrowed brow or a Fry squint among any of their supporters?

[nocalflea]

11. Is she going to claim the emails were altered when the prosecutors show her copies ?

I really don't quite understand how she thinks the "I was hacked" is a viable defense. Emails don't exist in a vacuum . Someone sends them, someone receives them ...

An another example of stupid criminal-ing, courtesy of the Trump crowd.

[struggle4progress]

14. "Rush-ah is a country? It is? I really thought that was just

a cute Manhattan way of saying 'Hurry up!'"

[hatrack]

17. "I got hacked!" - Said the politician busted for dick pics . ..

Said the teacher busted for racist Facebook posts and webcasts . . .

Said the preacher busted with kiddie porn . . .

You really can't come up with a better "excuse" than that, Hopium?
