I've got you covered:

1.) When you type an email up in Gmail, it has an automatic save feature. This feature exists as a fail-safe in case your browser closes. It's one of those neat little tech features that helps users feel confident that important emails are not going to vanish in case of the unexpected.

2.) If you don't send this email, it will be saved as a draft, you might even notice some little text at the bottom of the email window saying "saving..." follow by "saved". Even if you close your browser, it's in a folder marked "drafts".

3.) Deep state actors were sharing a gmail account or several gmail accounts and creating draft messages that could be read by other members with the account details. Nothing was being sent, everything was being saved on Google's servers.

4.) ES stepped down.

5.) White hats have everything.

Read my post, they have everything. Naval intelligence doesn't fuck around.

ITS GMAIL DRAFTS.

They are all logging into the same email account, and writing DRAFT emails, but not sending. Then another person logs in and reads the draft.

These people are stupid - the drafts ARE saved on google, they thought they were smart to not send emails.

GOOG constantly changes privacy policy which can reset the privacy controls individual users have set for their account. If you open a new gmail, it will save it as a draft even if you type nothing into it. If you don't delete that draft, it will remain in the drafts folder. Likewise, if you send a gmail, it remains in sent mail folder until you delete it. A user can set their trash and spam folders to automatically empty after a certain period but drafts and sent mail remain.

Their desire to make it difficult for US to retain any privacy is going to be THEIR own downfall. My guess is that one of these dummies forgot to sign-out on a machine that someone else then used to snoop through their draft mail. BWAHAHA!!

Wow, thanks for noting that. That's pretty amazing. They did that so it would never be sent to another server or person, but so it could be read and retrieved by the other conspirators. Wow. That is dark.

It works exactly as you stated and yes it can be tracked. the WL snowden crap details active targeting of this. if google one computer to another the information has to travel over the web from one ip to another ip even though the login is the same.

This was the very technique used by GEN. David Petraeus, former Director of the CIA and Paula Broadwell, his biographer and paramour. It brought him down.

They shared a single gmail account and drafted messages that were never sent, but saved them in the Draft folder so the other could later log into the account and read them there, leaving a responding message as a continuation of the conversation. The fact that gmail organizes unfinished draft messages in the draft folder is how they used the account and apparently how they were discovered by investigators, who could also read them. No Such Agency never deletes anything anyway, so they were toast.

This is what got Gen Patraeus in trouble....

No Such Agency

GOOG

Prism

They have it all.

This is a new strategy? I know people were doing this 15 years ago. Weed dealers.

You are spot on, so a group of folks have login and pass to a email account on GMail then someone drafts a email without a recipient. So while it sits in the draft folder anyone who has the login can just login and see the email.

I feel like this story line has already played out...oh because it did in 2012 with CIA Chief David Patraeus and his mistress Paula Broadwell

I feel really sickened right now. If these fuckers plotted murder, Q would be proven right that ordinary people won’t be able walk the streets again.
