The Bush Family has fallen victim to a hacker, who obtained sensitive emails from friends and family members of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, then violated their privacy by leaking the correspondence to the public.
The FBI is currently investigating the hacked emails and the awkward breach the hacking has caused. Some of emails showed just how close former president George H.W. Bush was to death recently, as the family had started giving serious consideration to a possible funeral.
According to The Smoking Gun:
“In a December 26 e-mail to his siblings, George W. Bush wrote that he was ‘thinking about eulogy’ and solicited stories that best illustrated their father’s sweet nature, favorite jokes, and acts of kindness. ‘Hopefully I’m jumping the gun,’ noted Bush, who added, ‘But since the feeling is that you all would rather me speak than bubba, please help.’
“The mention of ‘bubba’ is apparently a reference to (Bill) Clinton, whom Bush has referred to as a ‘brother’ due to his close relationship with George H. W. Bush.”
“Bush, who wrote at a time his father was in intensive care (and amid media reports that the ex-president was on his death bed), added, ‘Might be tough to say it that way in a eulogy with President 42 there.'”
Another of the emails was also somewhat embarrassing to the Bush family. According to The Smoking Gun:
“In a December 27 e-mail to his four siblings, Jeb Bush saluted his ailing father’s ‘kindness and good nature’ and pointed to ‘how kind he was with President Clinton and he helped restore his sordid reputation. A very tough thing to do but with kindness, dad probably helped Bill Clinton than anything he himself has done.’
Yet another hacked email showed a message to the hospitalized senior Bush from President Obama: “Michelle and I haven’t wanted to impinge on you while you are recuperating, but please know that we are thinking of you and the entire family.”
It's too bad somebody invaded their privacy but these emails just go to show that's a shady family!
