MMFA, the HRC server hack, NSA legal counsel, and AP
Media Matters for America (David Brock) has a rebuttal to an AP article wherein Stewart Baker, legal counsel for NSA and former Homeland Security expert, claimed that names of CIA personnel were disclosed through the vulnerability of Clinton's private email server.
Here's the MMFA link. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/06/08/ap-uses-gop-donor-sole-source-claim-security-experts-say-clinton-could-have-compromised-cia-names/210821
Here's the AP article, from today:

Excerpt from Baker:
"Start with the entirely plausible view that foreign intelligence services discovered and rifled Hillary Clinton's server," said Stewart Baker, a Washington lawyer who spent more than three years as an assistant secretary of the Homeland Security Department and is former legal counsel for the National Security Agency.
If so, those infiltrators would have copies of all her emails with the names not flagged as being linked to the agency.
In the process of publicly releasing the emails, however, classification experts seem to have inadvertently provided a key to anyone who has the originals. By redacting names associated with the CIA and using the "B3 CIA PERS/ORG" exemption as the reason, "Presto — the CIA names just fall off the page," Baker said.
And look at MMFA's objective and professional conclusion to the article (NOT)
AP’s baseless, theoretical claim follows numerous debunked theories that Clinton’s server was hacked and that it exposed human intelligence agents, mostly stoked by other conservative and unreliable sources. No evidence has come to light that Clinton’s server was hacked.
MMFA continues to jeopardize its 501(c)(3) status.
