DOJ said they'd appeal on the classified documents if the Chudge didn't rule today and/or against DOJ.

So she denied their motion for [bullshit]

The Special Master is completely fine - it was a good recommendation by the Trump lawyers that slipped through the cracks. That judge will have until November 30th to be done (one month longer than DOJ wanted) and the bullshit executive privilege claims are still on the table. Donnie pays 100% of Special Master costs.

I agree, but he does fit the bill. His last high-profile thing was serving on the FISA court and approving the Carter Page FISA Warrants. So he likely has actual history with classified/secret poo poo and he was an old-timey Reagan appointee.

Donnie just paid $3M, either as in a retainer account or up-front payment, to his new actually-good lawyer. The catch is that he's paying for the poo poo with his PAC funding, not his actual money. He'll likely pay - he loves using PAC money for legal poo poo.

‘I’ve never seen anything so disgusting’: Councilwoman rips conditions at animal shelter



By Ricardo Torres-Cortez Las Vegas Review-Journal posted:


By Ricardo Torres-Cortez Las Vegas Review-Journal
September 15, 2022 - 9:34 am

Las Vegas Councilwoman Victoria Seaman said she was appalled with what she saw at the Animal Foundation shelter after she showed up for an unannounced visit, which she classified as an inspection, earlier this week.

A stench of feces permeated from kennels that held distressed dogs at an intake area where animal control officers deliver animals found overnight, she said. Some of the 30 or so dogs sat alongside dry and fresh waste, while others rested beside overturned bowls of food.

Pictures she shared with the Review-Journal showed soiled blankets.

“The place was appalling,” she said in a phone interview. “I’ve never seen anything so disgusting that an animal should have to sit in a cage in those conditions.”

In all, Seaman said, she and Tim Potts, the city’s chief of public safety, only saw one employee in the area.

“He could not get to all the cages,” she said. “Of course he didn’t get around to cleaning up the dry feces.”

But had the councilwoman taken a look at the rest of the shelter Monday morning, even the adjacent room, she would have likely spotted an 11-member team cleaning areas that currently hold about 900 animals, according to the nonprofit, which is partially funded with tax dollars.

Either way, Seaman is calling for an “audit” of the foundation, which in 2020 received $4.7 million from fees and government contracts with Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Clark County, according to financial disclosures, and the councilwoman said she was putting it up for discussion at the Oct. 19 meeting at City Hall.

A Las Vegas spokesman confirmed the item would be in the agenda.

The funds cover about one-third of the foundation’s overall budget, the organization said. The contracts cover law-mandated holds for animals found or taken from people.

Foundation CEO Hilarie Grey and board member Jan Jones Blackhurst, former Las Vegas mayor, vehemently rejected Seaman’s characterization in a phone interview Wednesday.

“We find that to be nothing more than a political stunt, and not an indication of anything,” Grey said.

“The councilwoman’s antics are getting a little tiresome,” Jones Blackhurst said.

They noted that Seaman showed up before the shelter was open and that the power to inspect it does not belong to her. They said the shelter is routinely subjected to random checks by county and city inspectors, something they welcome.

“Animal control does not report to a council member,” Jones Blackhurst said, calling Seaman’s actions on Monday inappropriate.

Seaman also misstated the position of the worker she “surprised,” the foundation said. He is an admission specialist in charge of visiting animal hospitals and recovering injured animals.

It’s not rare to see feces in the intake area from dogs that are brought overnight and that often spend some time in animal control vehicles for hours before they’re taken to the shelter, the board members said.

Each animal is evaluated by teams of veterinarian and behavioral specialists, they added.

Seaman said that she’s been aware of issues at the shelter since November and that she regularly receives tips from within the organization about mistreatment of animals. She also alleged that the nonprofit pushes out anyone who speaks out.

Grey and Jones Blackhurst denied the allegations, which the former mayor called “categorically untrue.”

The board met with city and county officials earlier this year and work to address emerging concerns, the members said.

“I don’t buy it. I’m not gonna buy it,” Seaman said. “The animals are the concern that I have.”

If Seaman wanted to help, Jones Blackhurst said, she could advocate for allowing animal control to microchip animals so they could be returned straight home, increase funding for shelters, or move to ban sales of animals at pet stores like Clark County recently did.

“But she’s not doing any of that,” she said. “It’s not constructive; it’s disingenuous.”

“She was interested in her own political agenda,” Jones Blackhurst said about Seaman’s visit Monday. “Nobody cares more about our homeless animals than this staff and this board, and if the councilwoman wants to help, we would love the help. If she just wants to cause problems for her political agenda, then she’s not doing anything to help these animals.”

yeah, that's not exactly best practices

normally a company that size would have a tool scanning for stray credentials like that and sending nastygrams to a group of people empowered to fix that poo poo

and normally you'd keep that main break glass in case of fire never use this thycotic admin password in a few geographically distributed vaults, not on a network share that a motivated employee could find.

thycotic does "privileged access management" (PAM) - it can both store passwords securely and also generate one-time or time-limited passwords for highly sensitive accounts. with admin access to thycotic, every password for every application and service at the company, for every user, is in theory available.

Kardashians, Chrisleys, pretty much anyone with a show on a discovery network or Bravo or E. People eat that poo poo up like it's their grandmother's pasta sauce on a wooden spoon.

My time is better wasted thinking about the day I'll meet Bigfoot, we smoke a fat blunt, and he takes me into the great beyond of the forest, where all my old dogs and cats, even my childhood pet turtle, are chilling and waiting for me.

None of us matter to them, but people need their brain candy, so chew away.

Is that actually lyrics to a song though? Soundchecks are notoriously just random bullshit. They can just get up there and say whatever, as long as they can detect the differences in register and poo poo. Probably want to script it so you hear it roughly the same everywhere you'd perform.

The absolute best sound check I've ever seen was when the Flaming Lips played Sabbath's War Pigs in full as a soundcheck while the Police were playing their show at Bonnaroo '07. They mostly played Yoshimi that night.

I have to suspect this random 18-year-old is probably not the first actor down this path of criminally bad security. Just that any one doing state security or corporate espionage to track the activity of targeted Uber users isn't going to go out and helicopter their wang on the internet for cred.

The script with the Admin/password is dumb, but the main thing is that they, the hacker, was able to use social engineering to gain access; once you can get on an intranet and start escalating privileges then eventually you'll find something weak on a network. Basically the weak point, like everything in IT, was a person sitting in front of the computer.

on one hand, yes, getting access to an intranet endpoint is a big deal, but on the other hand leaving your admin creds out in plain text somewhere is still beyond asinine. sometimes a flame escapes the stove, but that doesn't mean that the gigantic mess of grease all around it isn't a huge contributor. :v:
