OK I don’t know what the heck is going on with Judge Napolitano, who is otherwise pretty reasonable and reliable, but is now advancing a conspiracy theory to protect Putin.
Watch this craziness:
But when you look into the documentation of this theory, it turns out the guy says the NSA “might have” hacked the emails:
A former National Security Agency analyst said it’s possible that someone in the U.S. intelligence community leaked Hillary Clinton’s emails to the public, since the NSA most likely has all of the messages Clinton deleted from her private email server.
William Binney, who spent decades with the agency before leaving as a whistleblower in 2001, pointed on Sunday to a comment former FBI Director Robert Mueller made in 2011, when he told senators his agency had the ability to access “sophisticated, searchable databases” of data in pursuit of terrorists.
Binney claimed Mueller was referencing NSA technology. “What he is talking about is going into the NSA database, which is shown of course in the [Edward] Snowden material released, which shows a direct access into the NSA database by the FBI and the CIA,” Binney told radio host Aaron Klein. “There is no oversight … by the way. So that means that NSA and a number of agencies in the U.S. government also have those emails.”
That’s a fine theory, but what motivation would Wikileaks have to release them and damage Hillary? Just because? I really think Napolitano is reaching and throwing this alternate theory out there to try to protect the Russians and Trump. Which is.. odd.
