At Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina Helped NSA With Wiretapping
The NSA used Hewlett-Packard servers in its warrantless wiretapping program.
Fiorina’s relationship with the U.S. intelligence community dates back to the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, when she got an urgent phone call from then NSA director Michael Hayden asking her to quickly provide his agency with HP computer servers for expanded surveillance.
While he did not tell Fiorina the details, Hayden confirmed to Yahoo News last week that he needed the HP servers so the NSA could implement “Stellar Wind” — the controversial warrantless wiretapping program, including the bulk collection of American citizens’ phone records and emails, that had been secretly ordered by the Bush White House. “Carly, I need stuff and I need it now,” Hayden recalled telling Fiorina.
Fiorina acknowledged she complied with Hayden’s request, redirecting trucks of HP computer servers that were on their way to retail stores from a warehouse in Tennessee to the Washington Beltway, where they were escorted by NSA security to the gates of agency headquarters in Fort Meade, Md.
“I felt it was my duty to help, and so we did,” Fiorina said. “They were ramping up a whole set of programs and needed a lot of data crunching capability to try and monitor a whole set of threats. …What I knew at the time was our nation had been attacked.”

Yeah, they all did this. The worst part of Lie-orina, in my opinion, is that she counts the jobs created overseas by HP as jobs created here in the U.S. She actually uses this number over and over and over again lol.
Gets away with it for now, but Dems will get relentless in the general election like they did with 47%-man Romney.

She’s either powerfully confused or just simply cra-cra or a little of both!

No, more like powerfully determined. She can see the Presidency and is willing to use everything in the playbook to win.

“I felt it was my duty to help, and so we did,” Fiorina said.
Ah, just doing your job, huh?

Thats why HP was happy to pay $21.4 mil to get rid of her

Well if her wiretapping/server equipment was anything like her printers, I think I understand why Bush’s intelligence gathering effort was so sh*tty

It’s not just the printers, the computers used to have a bad bad reputation. Full of bugs in the code, bloatware, horrible horrible tech support overseas, and the highest number of operating software crashes in the business. She got kicked out and HP improved, coincidence? I’m tellin you, Dems would have a field day with her. We’re supposed to be more afraid of her cause she’s a newly-converted “conservative” women. Rightwingers getting fooled again.

On top of all that, HP products were actually more expensive than the cheap-in-price but good-quality brands like Acer, Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc.
In other words, Fiorina is probably the biggest loser running on either side. She makes Cruz and Trump look like honest and brilliant people lol.

The right will not see a problem with this unless it happened under President Obama’s Presidency.
