The Kremlin is considering whether or not to release some 20,000 hacked Clinton emails reportedly in its possession.
Russian security services apparently obtained the emails as part of their investigation into the Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, known as “Guccifer” — now in U.S. custody in relation to the Clinton email scandal.
“Guccifer” hacked into the former secretary of state’s email. “For me, it was easy.”
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) began monitoring Lazar after a failed attempt in 2011 to hack into RT, a news service funded by the Russian government. While it hasn’t been confirmed publicly by its government that Russia is in possession of the emails, there is ample evidence which suggests the Russians do indeed have Clinton’s emails.
Lazar has stated publicly that he knows he is not the only hacker who was able to — and did — gain access to Clinton’s private server. “For me, it was easy … easy for me, for everybody,” he said in an interview with Fox News. Everybody included “up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world,” that were active on the server while Lazar had access.
Furthermore, RT published portions of Clinton’s emails on its website in March 2013, claiming they were supplied by “Guccifer” himself. But given the existence of websites like Wikileaks, it’s difficult to imagine a hacker like Lazar personally giving such sensitive information to a news agency that is a de facto branch of the Russian government.
The closer the email investigation gets to the truth, the more evidence seems to disappear Indeed, RT's proximity to the Russian government suggests it's more likely the agency received the emails, not from Lazar himself, but from Russian authorities monitoring Lazar or Russian hackers themselves. In October 2015, The Associated Press reported that Russian authorities may have hacked Clinton's server on at least five separate occasions.
The existence of these emails is a significant problem for Clinton. Despite the ongoing FBI investigation growing larger and more serious by the day — it was revealed last week that her closest aides from the State Department had all been interviewed, some more than once — Clinton seems no closer to being indicted.
Indeed, the FBI's investigation has at times seemed almost farcical. On Monday, the State Department said it had apparently lost four years' worth of emails from Brian Pagliano, Clinton's IT head who set up the private server.
"Such records might shed light on his role in setting up Clinton's server, and why he was granted immunity by the FBI," said Republican National Committee Deputy Communications Director Raj Shah. "But it seems that his emails were either destroyed or never turned over, adding yet another layer to the secrecy surrounding his role."
But if the State Department is unable (or unwilling) to provide materials to the FBI pertinent to its investigation, then perhaps the Russian government will oblige.
Bingo. The Russians won’t embarrass her,they will use the threat of it to manipulate her should the worst happen and she wins the presidency. She will be Putin’s puppet.
Yeah. Mainstream media is ignoring things and alternative media is often unreliable and unprofessional. Whenever I see an interesting article in alternative media I check what they publish about UFO-s, 9/11, Stalin and chemtrails. Too often it turns out they are commies or nutcases.
Russians want Trump. They believe he is inexperienced and can be taken advantage of. I myself don’t believe this to be true, but it is quite common that people are wrong about Trump. He was called a clown with no chance of winning for the most of the early primary season.
here’s your reset dork>> lol
I hope you are being sarcastic. The Russians absolutely loathe Clinton and for plenty of good reasons.
“Clintoon may become a footnote in history if/when”........
“If/when” has been the problem for years when speaking of the Clintons. For example; “If someone would only indict her”.....”When will someone please put her fat behind in jail?”, etc., etc. We are well past “if” we should indict her, now “when” will it happen?
“Blackmail potential”
What’s to blackmail? It’s common knowledge that Huma will be First Lady.
Trump needs to back channel a Most Favored Nation Trade Status on the down low with Putin if these get released, as long as his fingerprints can’t be traced back to it.
So the Russian government was aware of her private server before the USA government was.? How incompetent!
Why would Russian intelligence burn a source?
It was meant to be sarcasm.
This would be a GREAT WAY for President Trump to reset relations with Russia. Can’t see a problem here.
Others here would have posted the same thought and not been sarcastic... just checkin’!
Man o man
Please Puttie Pooh,
Release the dirt on this bitch.
Oh,
You mean the les bean ones between hill and huma?
Over the top funny Bon mots,
Great job.
Or, as others have pointed out, with the eMails Putin could blackmail a president Hillary much as he seems to be able to do with Barack.
And Trump needs another ammo box to keep storing all the weapons he will have at his disposal to dispose of Hillary....
Clinton will be easily blackmailed or bought.
Hillary has threatened Russia over Syria (she will declare a no-fly zone and shoot down Russian military planes) to protect anti-Assad jihadists. She was very much a part of the instigation of hostilities in Russian with her operative, Victoria Nuland, and has pledged to give military assistance to Ukraine and ramp up this division. She is one of the most destructive persons in history, and as President she would instigate a war to end all wars. She really is— and I mean no hyperbole here— demonically destructive and a menace to the civilized world. Hillary, like Obama, like the Devil, sows nothing but division and strife and destruction. And contrary to what people might think, Hillary doesn’t discrimate (right v. left) when it comes to pursuing destruction, it just so happens the most societally and civilizationally destructive approach is, more often than not, through leftist motivations. But those on the left are not spared Hillary’s demonic quest to divide and destroy, as leftists in Honduras found out:
