Podesta Email was NOT a "Typo". Here's Why Not...

The Clinton camp is now trying to say a Podesta email was a typo, and that is what caused the hack to his email. But that is not logical, nor even likely given the facts of the case.

According to the Clinton camp, Podesta received a "phishing" email stating someone had tried to access his account, and he should change his password. They go on to say that the email was sent to an aide who checked it out (John Delavan), and emailed Podesta "This is a legitimate email. John needs to change his password immediately."

Now they say it was a typo - that he MEANT to say "illegitimate". But that simply cannot be truthful, for two reasons.

One reason is grammatical. If he had intended to type "illegitimate", he would have prefaced that with "an", and not "a". Can you imagine any educated person saying "a illegitimate..."? Not hardly.

But even more telling is the actual context. If, in fact, Mr Delavan intended to type "illegitimate", he would NOT have suggested that "John needs to change his password immediately", because if illegitimate, his email account was not at risk, but WOULD be if Podesta were to respond to it and provide his password. It would only be at risk if the email WAS legit and from gmail, and someone HAD tried accessing his account. In other words, it is not the word "legitimate" that caused Podesta to respond to the email and give up his password. It was the statement from Mr Delavan that he SHOULD respond and change it (to change it you must first provide the current password), and that is what allowed the hack. If Delavan had intended to type "illegitimate", he would NOT tell Podesta to respond to it. Therefore, there was no "typo" - just more incompetence from the Clinton camp.

In short, the assertion that the hacking occurred because of a typo is pure BS, and just more deceit from a campaign that is notorious for deception.
