The Smoking Gun

As federal agents hunt for the culprit who illegally accessed several Bush 
family e-mail accounts, The Smoking Gun has learned that the hacker’s victim 
list also includes a U.S. Senator, a senior United Nations official, security 
contractors in Iraq, two former FBI agents, and a Department of Defense 
supervisor.

The hacker, who uses the alias “Guccifer,” apparently began the breaches last 
year, with infiltrations of the AOL accounts of Dorothy Bush Koch, sister of 
George W. Bush (and the youngest child of George H.W. Bush), and Bush family 
friends Willard Heminway, 79, and Jim Nantz, the CBS sportscaster.

While Dorothy Bush Koch’s account yielded the hacker a trove of sensitive 
e-mails, documents, and photos about the Bush clan--including correspondence to 
and from the two former presidents--other compromised accounts were also raided 
for intimate information about the political dynasty.

For example, the hacker broke into the AOL account of Scott Pierce, the 
82-year-old brother of Barbara Bush, and accessed correspondence between him 
and the 87-year-old former First Lady. The hacker also infiltrated the Comcast 
e-mail accounts of Josephine Bush, sister-in-law of the 41st president (and 
mother of Access Hollywood host Billy Bush), and Patricia Legere, a Bush family 
friend (and former Miss Maine).
