Whistleblower had his personal email account hacked and messages deleted

  According to this story a State Department whistleblower, Richard Higbie, had his personal email account hacked and four years worth of messages were deleted.

  It just so happens that Mister Higbie is a criminal investigator who was working with the Congress on an investigation into the State Department. Here is some of what was deleted:

The e-mails included evidence about misconduct by top officials at the department, communications with other potential whistleblowers there, and correspondence with members of Congress who are investigating the allegations, Schulman said.

They also include correspondence between Higbie and Schulman about legal strategy, the lawyer said.

  Private correspondence with his legal team and information about misconduct in the State Department were deleted; while he cannot confirm who hacked his account it is quite clear who had a vested interest in seeing this information disappear, isn’t it? Destroy the evidence so the investigation can go nowhere, that appears to be the game plan here. He is now asking for an investigation into this matter and I only have one small piece of advice for Richard Higbie–be very careful, you are now a target.

  It becomes clearer by the day that this might be the most criminal and corrupt regime in United States history.
