Hacker May Have Obtained E-Mails, Threatened Sanford And Mistress
By Logan Murphy Friday Jul 03, 2009 10:00am
RIO DE JANEIRO — A television anchor who's the only journalist known to have spoken with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's Argentine lover since news of their affair broke last week said the couple received an e-mail threat from the person who hacked into her Hotmail account.
Eduardo Feinmann, who worked with Maria Belen Chapur when she was a translator for Argentina's C5N news channel, said in a telephone interview from Buenos Aires that a member of Chapur's family told him of the threat on Saturday.He said the family member told him that the e-mail from the unidentified person warned both Sanford and Chapur that "you don't know who you are messing with." He said he didn't know how either of them responded.
Sanford's wife has said she's known about the affair for many months, so if true, this would certainly explain a lot:
Chapur said in an e-mail to Feinmann, which the anchorman read on the air Sunday night, that her Hotmail account was hacked into around Nov. 24. She became aware of the intrusion shortly thereafter and by Dec. 8 had succeeded in having the account closed. Read on...

HOTMAIL?
Shit, there are other services and clients that provide better security. Hell, you could get PGP and encrypt your letters!
Gah!
No sympathy whatsoever. Besides which, it doesn't matter if a hacker was threatening to expose Sanford's affair - he was still having an affair, and he still left his post (and the country) to dip his wick.
It is cruel to Ms. Sanford to post about her husband and his complete and utter disregard for her and his family. I think this story needs to end. This is beneath Crooks and Liars. This is more Huffpo or TMZ.
I know it is "schaednfreude grosse" but you guys are better than this.
Everyone got the hypocrisy message, now we're just kicking a dead horse.
should be even more worried.
The MSM did not get the story right.
Here is the REAL skinny:
COLUMBIA, SC – Governor Mark Sanford returned to work after disappearing over the weekend. Photographic evidence proves he was spending time with his Bigfoot lover.
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford sent the country into a panic this week by disappearing completely for several days. Aides to the Governor said he went hiking on the Appalachian Trail to clear his head after a tough legislative session. However, evidence confirms that the South Carolina Governor was engaging in an affair with his Sasquatch mistress.
This breaking news explains why it took Sanford’s aides 9 hours to respond to reporter questions about his whereabouts, and why he was clearing his head now over a legislative battle that happened three weeks prior.
Governor Sanford was seen frolicking in the woods with what his clearly his Sasquatch lover. Eye witnesses saw the two running hand in hand through a field of wildflowers this Father’s Day weekend. Later they were spotted having a picnic on a hilltop including various cheeses and a bottle of wine. Whether the Sasquatch is of legal age has yet to be determined.
Witnesses later saw the two watching the sun set, before retiring to a rented cabin. Records show the cabin was rented to a Mr. Bark Blandford. Owners of the establishment confirm that they received numerous complaints about noise coming from the cabin all through the night, and that it was left in such a state that the deposit was not returned. Cleaning crews sent in the next day agreed it was like nothing they had ever seen before.
Investigators wonder if the Governor also chose this weekend to see his mistress as it was Nude Hiking Day. The Appalachian Trail was filled with nude hikers this weekend, making it easier for someone to overlook a Governor frolicking with his Bigfoot lover. This plan may have backfired as the Sanford was initially spotted by the North Carolina Naked Birdwatchers Association.
Sanford returns to work today, trying to minimize media fallout from his mysterious disappearance. Who his Sasquatch lover is, and what effect she will have on his political futures, remains to be seen.

Hellooooooooo.
Governor Sanford has only one person to blame: MARK SANFORD.
He chose to leave his post (and the country) to cavort with his mistress. His dereliction of duty led to the reasons why he was AWOL, and this - through his own admission before the media - brought his affair to light.
That he then saw fit to show 'complete and utter disregard' for his wife by LYING about the extent of his affair and that he had, in fact, had dalliances with other women as well, is also not the fault of an unforgiving or 'gotcha' media.
That Sanford is taking advice from an equally suspect 'spiritual advisor' who spouts nonsense like, "Well, there was no passion in the marriage," being "overcome by darkness," and drawing parallels to King David ... still no fault of the media.
It's a general rule that liars keep talking until you're convinced of their story, and this is what Sanford is doing.
and then take your concern troll shite elsewhere
thank you very much
Poor Uncle, someone put rock salt in your KY?
The story is done, move on, unless you find it entertaining to see his family publicly tortured day after day.
Do you enjoy her and her four sons getting skewered?
Hmmmm?
They are not crooks or liars. And voicing an opinion is not trolling. Unless you're a neocon. Are you a neocon? Or are you emulating your name sake?
.thank you......:)
... the only one mentioning Mrs. Sanford and her kids is YOU. Frankly, it is a tad early for red herrings, and today I don't feel like seafood.
Incidentally, it is interesting that you are requesting respect and tolerance from other people by being a complete dick to them. Concern trolls are funny that way...
the only one mentioning Mrs. Sanford and her kids is YOU.
Spot on!! Because this story and those who push it AREN'T THINKING OF THE EFFECT ON HIS FAMILY, JUST LIKE THE GOVERNOR THEY ARE CHASTISING!!
OK Einstein I will translate. The continuing coverage of this story is hurtful to Sanford's family, innocent kids and a woman who probably sacrificed a lot for her husbands career.
To keep hammering this WITH NO REGARD for his family is TO BE LIKE those we despise, the MsM and Neocons.
P.S. If you want an echo chamber with no dissent or discussion, YELL INTO YOUR CLOSET!
As I said, I don't feel like seafood today, so you are free to keep you red herrings for yourself.
Using Sanford's children to squash any sort of criticism towards him is kind of a pathetic move. Being a dick to other posters, while at the same time using said kids to gain any sort of moral higher ground... further compounds your intellectual dishonesty.
The only one who seemed to have little regard for his children and wife is Mr. Sanford himself. Your further insistence on using them as a shield makes it clear you have little regard for them either.
So keep on projecting, it is fascinating....
Using Sanford's children to squash any sort of criticism towards him is kind of a pathetic move.
I am not squashing anything. This story is old. Done. Dead. We know who Sanford is and what is important to him. Got tons of air and press. Tons.
Being a dick to other posters, while at the same time using said kids to gain any sort of moral higher ground... further compounds your intellectual dishonesty.
The guns came out when I got called a concern troll.
Concern troll is a term used by cranks who can't win an honest debate. Moral high ground? Huh? This about beating a dead horse as Blue Lensman said. As for intellectual dishonesty, if compassion and care for the victims of this fiasco is dishonest, I don't ever want to tell the truth.
Your further insistence on using them as a shield makes it clear you have little regard for them either. Shield? I am Captain America!!!
How is that closet working out for you...echo..echo..echo???
... very little of the coverage is about Jenny Sanford. There was one brief interview in which she made plain her concerns - saving her marriage, if possible, and raising her children.
The children, also, have not been dragged through the limelight.
You're railing against something that isn't happening. Really. Mark Sanford went from being a package (reporter-tracked story) at the top of the hour ... to a VO at the bottom of the hour after Michael Jackson died. And it was like JACKSON DIED! OMG! ohandmarksanfordhadanaffair BUT JACKSON DIED! THE KING OF POP! OMG! WTF!
"I am not squashing anything. This story is old. Done. Dead."
Do you even understand what you just wrote there? The only one claiming this story is "old" is you (it is what a couple of weeks old? Is that what passed for "old" in concern troll land?). By doing so, by trying to prevent anyone from discussing this douchebags actions by shielding behind your "concern" for his kids and wife (which you keep on being the only one who brings them to this fray), you are indeed trying to "squash" debate.
If you continue harvesting so many red herrings we may ran out of fish in the ocean pretty soon.
And let's not show the bodies of our fallen soldiers, because it will detract from the wonderful work we're doing in Iraq, and it's disrespectful to their families at a difficult time ...
The only person to blame is Mark Sanford. Really.
Come on, the media went chasing after Michael Jackson the moment he dropped dead. They're all camped out by Neverland and Staples Center. Mark Sanford is the furthest thing from the headlines.
Except for Mark Sanford giving an interview to AP, in which he insists his affair is a 'love story' and wants to set a moral lesson in character for his kids.
Um, yeah. Wouldn't want to stand in the way of that, would we?
Trust me, nobody's pitching, "How do we put the screws to Jenny Sanford today?" at the morning editorial meeting.
And let's not show the bodies of our fallen soldiers, because it will detract from the wonderful work we're doing in Iraq, and it's disrespectful to their families at a difficult time ...
That is such an MsM neocon pseudo equivalence.
Watch this....
maybe the site should report on sanford reimbursing the state 3k on an 8k bill for one of his trips to argentina
which was not a biz trip...but a sex trip
that probably hurts the wife and kids too
cuz the guy is a fucking crook
no one forces you to read these stories
you can always stick your head back into the hole
I draw a paycheck from CBS.
BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP YOUR RIGHTFUL MASTERS, YOU LIBERAL DOG!
hell fucking yes
i dont give a shit about wingnut wives or children
didn't give the same consideration to Mr. Clinton's daughter that she expects for her own children. More hypocrisy. She is quite OK with condoning Mr. Vitter's playtime. Mrs. Sanford is not OK with her husband's hanky panky and she is doing just fine handling the crap raining down on her husband's head. Because it's his crap, not hers. The consequences of his actions dealt out to him.
This story is about MARK SANFORD, not the Sanford family.
husband, and Mr. Vitter went on the record criticism the moral fortitude of homosexuals (among other groups), even after his diaper-wearing whoring shenanigans were exposed in full technicolor glory.
I am beginning to thing that this group of degenerates do not know shame, and they don't seem to need to... giving the copious amounts of idiots all too happy to carry their water.
No matter the atrocious hypocrisy any these vermin find themselves into, there will be plenty of concerned idiots doing the "leave Briney alone!" routine....
I take it you don't live here in SC (much less here on Sullivan's Island). We've had to put up with such arrant hypocrisy from sanctimonious better-than-thou's such as Sanford for so long that there will be no more forgive and forget. Forgiveness may come, but screw the forgetting part.
Sanford went out of his way to prove his Christian-worthiness during the impeachment vote...read his words from that debacle. Read what he said about Bob Livingston shortly therafter.
If Sanford had an ounce of shame, something proven beyond all doubt that he does not possess, he'd have resigned immediately. Republicans, however, have decided that they don't have to respond in the honorable fashion. They now have enough enablers in the press to allow them to cling to the rafters.
Oh no. But it's not like Clinton. It's a loooovvvve story. (/snark)
people like Sanford are lying, insane sociopaths; their religion-driven hypocrisy needs to be exposed until (hopefully) people like Sanford are driven out of politics. C'mon, he skipped out on his job---at taxpayer expense---to go bangin. He has no business having a job that gives him control over other peoples' lives.
He said he lived by the Bible. 'Judge not, lest ye be judged'. Sanford and all the PUKIES tried to judge everyone else, not even able to take their own, personal, 'inventory' and to inflict their 'values' on people not interested.
all someone did was get her password, which she probably was stupid enough to give to some underling
... provides for password recovery in a manner similar to Yahoo, but remember that a 'hacker' got into Sarah Palin's account with some educated guesswork.
My account with hotmail also got hijacked. Hotmail doesn't give a shit and didn't help me when I reported it.
I love that pic of Sanford.
If Al Qaida in Argintina kidnapped the Governor (he did not have a security detail nor did the State Dept made aware of his where abouts). If harm came to the governor in Argintina, would America respond with military action?
Sanford's poor decisions and secretive actions have place so much at risk for those of his state and this country. As sultry as it may be.
One issue that has been the lead point by Sanford in all of this has been soley about Sanford.
-"I" let down those around me.
-"I" met my soul mate.
-If "I" can fall back in love with Jenny, I can still Govern.
-"I" am getting spiritual council from Cubby.
-"I" I crossed lines before but never the ultimate line.
-"I" need to return to Argintina to see Maria face to face to work this out for the people of S.C.???
-Then God talks to Cubby and Sanford to express how Sanford is like King David and how King David stayed on as King after his Bathseeba fling?
It is all about himself. This is so evident in his stance on his state accepting or not accepting (in his case)needed stimulus money.
It is the "I'm OK so the rest of you can make do.
This is the cronic "Me" society syndrom.
By the way,
While Sanford acclaimed alot of media pomp for his disapproving of Stimulus money for his state. The State of South Carolina's Senator Lindsey Graham has provided large amounts of federal dollars via his Senatorial participation in Pork barrel projects in many bills from the Senate. Just as Graham recently provided in the last budget bill. Where he was one of the biggest mouths against Pork, yet became one of the biggest abusers of Pork to his State.
Go figure????
But remember, Senator Graham has said, Sanford can stay on as Governor if Jenny will accept her husband soul mate. You know, Sanford wasn't as forgiving of Bill Clinton as he now demands of everyone of him at this momment in his life. What a guy...
Sorry, no mercy for this hypocrit, no mercy for any of them. They are all sociopaths.
... the main point is that he left his post, without telling anyone, for days (and now it seems weeks) at a time. Under the "personal responsibility" "pull yourself by the bootstraps" framework these assholes are so keen on shoveling down our throats, we would have been fired in a New York minute.
In this case, this asshole is not even stepping down... he even gets to have plenty of concern trolls trying to equate criticism of this douchebag with hating kids or some such crap.
Conservatism truly has to be a mental disease, no healthy mind would be able to operate under such overwhelming load of hypocrisy.
She's the one with all the moeny.
She financed his first campaign almost singlehandedly.
Rich catholic girl from suburban chicago. Daddy invented the skil saw... (we might be related, distantly, on my mother's mother's side, a century or so ago)
Sanford's not quite trailer-trash, despite what his deeds and words might lead you to believe. In SC, the barrel's pretty deep, and he's about two-thirds of the way down..
Thanks for the local "take" on the story. I might agree with the troll upthread except for the fact that King David Sanford still needs to learn King David's lesson: consequences.
I think Jenny and the kids are doing quite well. Any shame and humiliation is raining down on Dad, and most decidedly not on Jenny. He's a fool.
Notice also that he's clinging to his job vs. resigning and "focusing on his family" to coin a phrase. No sincerity there at all and I doubt this is lost on his own family.
Notice also that GOP beg for privacy when they know they've blown it in quite an Abuse the Public way. Hello? Tax Dollars used? AWOL? to a foreign country?
Again, Jenny looking quite fine saying "enough" to the crap MARK SANFORD is leaving all over the place.
... besides which, Sanford isn't a king, biblical or otherwise. He's answerable to the public/electorate, and they're none too pleased.
You don't save your marriage by conducting an interview wherein you lament the absence of passion and gush about how much you love the other woman, tragic and forbidden and secret though it may have been.
In fact, it's sounding rather abusive and narcissistic. He wants 'passion,' but it's clear that Mark Sanford thinks Jenny is the one with failings in that department, and 'rescuing their marriage' means 'putting out for the Governor.'
scumbag's actions with veiled attempts to abuse children and women even the more pathetic...
This is why people on the left give a shit about this guy's extra-curricular sexual activity, aside from the fact that he lied to the person he swore to be faithful to, his kids, stole from the constituency, the state and federal gov't -- HE CAN BE BLACKMAILED!
That's why who else he or any other elected official fucks, outside of his or her marriage is of concern to outsiders. The Blackmail factor.
"NEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS!"
The hypocrisy, the immoral behavior AND that absence of any accountability to the people of South Carolina is appalling.
And this pile of shit wants to keep his job? I'd be calling for his head on a platter!!
my apologies to the sane and intelligent people left in SC. You are severely outgunned, and my sympathy goes out to you.
Maybe blue states should conduct an exodus III operation to allow the last decent individuals from the South to move over here for greener pastures? Maybe the south will self implode if the moron component is left to their own devices, rather than expect the decent sensible component of their population to cover for them over and over and over again...
She is a multi millionaire she has never made a sacrifice. She prpbably hired the hacker
