A flurry of significant stories broke on Friday, including the Obama administration's belated capitulation on executive privilege assertions pertaining to the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal, as well as the release of a large document dump to the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Another potentially-meaningful revelation came via Fox News' Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, who reported that the timing and context of US officials' extradition of a Romanian hacker is "not a coincidence" vis-a-vis the FBI's ongoing criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's national security-compromising email scheme. Let's follow the breadcrumbs:
The extradition of Romanian hacker Guccifer to the U.S. at a critical point in the FBIs criminal investigation of Hillary Clintons email use is not a coincidence, according to an intelligence source close to the case. One of the notches on Guccifers cyber-crime belt was allegedly accessing the email account of Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, one of Clintons most prolific advice-givers when she was secretary of state. It was through that hack that Clinton's use of a personal account -- clintonemail.com -- first came to light. Former law enforcement and cyber security experts said the hacker, whose real name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, could now that hes in the U.S. help the FBI make the case that Clintons email server was compromised by a third party, one that did not have the formal backing and resources of a foreign intelligence service such as that of Russia, China or Iran. Because of the proximity to Sidney Blumenthal and the activity involving Hillarys emails, [the timing] seems to be something beyond curious, said Ron Hosko, former assistant director of the FBIs Criminal Investigative Division from 2012-2014.
On or about March 31, Lazar was extradited 3,700 miles to Alexandria from a prison in Arad, Romania, where he has been serving a seven-year sentence for hacking crimes committed in his native country. His targets in Romania were prominent government officials and political figures whom he often taunted under the name of Micul Fum or Little Smoke. Following his 2014 conviction, Lazar was effectively neutralized in prison and no longer a threat, which makes his transfer to the U.S. all the more noteworthy. According to the 15-page federal indictment, Lazar "specialized in gaining unauthorized access to the online accounts of high-profile individuals" including Clinton ally Blumenthal, who appears to be identified as Victim 5 … a journalist and former presidential advisor who was the true owner of an AOL account with subaccounts known to the grand jury....The Romanian government told Fox News that the request to extradite Lazar came from the FBI, but when Fox News asked when the process began, a government spokesperson said they were not authorized to comment further. Romanian media have reported the request came on or about Dec. 29, 2015. That would have been shortly after the intelligence communitys identification of emails beyond top secret on Clintons personal server, which became public in mid-January.
In a 2015 prison interview from Romania with reporter Matei Rosca for Pando.com, Lazar told Rosca that, "I used to read [Clinton's] memos for six or seven hours ... and then do the gardening." ... Clintons deliberate choice to use a private, unsecure server based in her home and a private email address for her government business as secretary of state remains under federal investigation by the FBI while she campaigns for president. It has been widely reported in the last month that the FBI is setting up interviews with Clinton and her associates, what is believed to be a final phase in the process. Hosko noted that commitment of resources by the FBI to extradite Guccifer to the U.S. with the cooperation of Romania is significant. A review of recent federal cases by Fox News found that Guccifers extradition appears to be an outlier. Hackers typically are extradited in the event of major financial theft, such as a 2013 case where three Romanian men stole in excess of $2 million in a cyber-fraud ring and not in cases involving a breach of personal privacy.
They just want to find out what other secrets he is hiding, so damage control for Empress Hillary and the Dems can be conducted.
America is watching. Will DOJ/FBI sacrifice their integrity on the altar of partisanship?
Guccifer will be found mysteriously dead in his cell within 30 days.
She is going to be indicted.
The neuro damage is again apparent in her right in-turned eye.
Yes
They just want to get him under wraps before he spills his guts to some conservative blogger or news outfit.
She might be, but will not be sentenced to prison. Count on it.
>>>She is going to be indicted<<<
but will they find 12 jurors that value their lives so cheaply that they will find her guilty?
Yes, not even close. All the leadership are Obama appointments. It’s all shake and bake posturing by GOPe to pretend they are on our side.
Respectfully disagree. 0 will pardon her to prevent the corruption of the DOJ from being exposed. All problems solved. After all what is the down side for 0? He won’t get to run for president again?
Since Guccifer hacked Sid & was reading Hilly’s ‘memos’, you know the FBI & intelligence investigators are trying to find out who Sid’s contact(s) are/were. This is some super serious stuff that was being leaked to Sid.
From the link:
Now, over two months later, I can confirm that the contents of Sid Blumenthals June 8, 2011 email to Hillary Clinton, sent to her personal, unclassified account, were indeed based on highly sensitive NSA information. The Agency investigated this compromise and determined that Mr. Blumenthals highly detailed account of Sudanese goings-on, including the retelling of high-level conversations in that country, was indeed derived from NSA intelligence.
Specifically, this information was illegally lifted from four different NSA reports, all of them classified Top Secret / Special Intelligence. Worse, at least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program or SAP, several of which from CIA Ms. Clinton compromised in another series of her unclassified emails.
Currently serving NSA officials have told me they have no doubt that Mr. Blumenthals information came from their reports. Its word-for-word, verbatim copying, one of them explained. In one case, an entire paragraph was lifted from an NSA report that was classified Top Secret / Special Intelligence.
How Sid Blumenthal got his hands on this information is the key question, and theres no firm answer yet. The fact that he was able to take four separate highly classified NSA reports none of which he was supposed to have any access to and pass the details of them to Hillary Clinton via email only hours after NSA released them in Top Secret / Special Intelligence channels, indicates something highly unusualas well as illegalwas going on.
My guess is that they are carefully pre-selecting jurors from the #BLM pool and being offered a very lucrative package for a NOT-GUILTY verdict.
That will be more acceptable to the American sheeple than an 0bama pardon.
The neuro damage is again apparent in her right in-turned eye.
I believe you are on to something.
As soon as Obama can figure out a way he’s going to dump her. It just can’t look like he did it or fix it so she won’t rat on him and ValJar.
