If
you know anything about Hillary Clinton, you know that an unusual
number of people with damning information on her have turned up dead
under mysterious circumstances. Now, it appears that the Clinton body
count has just had yet another name added to it.
Freedom Daily
reported that former Marine James Dolan, one of the co-creators of
SecureDrop and Freedom of the Press Foundation’s first full
time employee, died suddenly over the holidays at the age of 36. Though
it is being reported that he committed suicide, his family and friends
are saying that he never gave any indication that he would take his own
life.
Back in 2012, Dolan teamed up with Aaron Swartz and
journalist Kevin Poulsen to create original prototype of SecureDrop, the
open source whistleblower submission system, which was then called
DeadDrop. It was Dolan who convinced a trio of his industry colleagues
to meet with Aaron to review the architecture and, later, the code. It
was Dolan and his team that made it so that sources would be able to
submit documents anonymously—so that even the media outlets receiving
the materials wouldn’t be able to tell the government where they came
from.
Of course, this came back to bite Clinton when her emails were leaked to WikiLeaks and then the general public.
Swartz
committed suicide five years ago just as the US government was
attempting to prosecute him for violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse
Act related to allegedly copying academic articles from JSTOR. After his
death, Poulsen donated the SecureDrop project to FPF, in the hopes that
we could revive it and get it in a place where more news organizations
could use it.
This meant that Dolan was then the only person in
the world who knew all the ins and outs of the system, how to install
it, and how to make it better. It’s awfully convenient for Clinton and
her cronies that he would turn up dead suddenly just as the heat is
being turned up on her again.
