This is news? How many times did they "try" to hack into government servers?

MSM is really desperate to keep this "scandal" alive.

and lets finish the story......5 times TRIED...TRIED TRIED.... but was not successful.... Sorry, but I believe a private server is less likely to be hacked or attempted to be hacked then an official govt server. When everyone jumps here, remember the word TRIED
