I'm honestly surprised Congress doesn't have its own email server.
I'm sure they do, but this self-absorbed chucklefuck probably won't use it because he'd have to learn a new thing, along with using a good password.
No, it will be money. They don't pay employee to maintain somthing when they can contact it to micro$oft and it comes out another pot and the head of it gets another nice little bonus for reducing headcount
Probably a promotion, not a bonus. Plus I think contractors are budgeted by the year, where badged employees are amortized (not the right word) over the budget including their fringe benefits. So there is a huge benefit in making it look like your budget projections aren't going to blow up in the future.
His tweet says it was his campaign and personal email, both of which are separate accounts from his house.gov email. But he probably uses his personal email for work
This is actually the first of probably many of these cases from this little incident
More like he gave them his emails and then claimed he was hacked.
Just like that time he got really drunk and China shit in his pants.
So the Chinese apparently made moo shoo pork out of Bacon's email account...
The CCP [Communist Chinese Party] hackers utilized a vulnerability in the Microsoft software, and this was not due to ‘user error,’” Bacon wrote.
Who names their child Bacon? Also this article gets the name wrong, It's the Communist Party of China (CPC) not the "Communist Chinese Party" or whatever sinophobic nonsense he's telling his base. I think this is less about the actual vulnerability and more about "evil communists" living in this guy's head rent free that contribute to a very patriotic victim complex.
