(ANTIMEDIA) Hillary Clinton sits at the center of a raging firestorm concerning her arrangement of a private email account and server set up in her home — from which top secret information may have been deleted. But despite Bernie Sanders’ apparent annoyance with the “damn emails,” the scandal just exponentially intensified, when Judge Andrew Napolitano revealed on Monday that Russia has possession of around 20,000 of Clinton’s emails — leaving open the possibility her deletions might not have been permanent after all.
“There’s a debate going on in the Kremlin between the Foreign Ministry and the Intelligence Services about whether they should release the 20,000 of Mrs. Clinton’s emails that they have hacked into,” Napolitano told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in an interview for The Kelly File.
With Clinton’s repeated claims she employed the personal email server only for mundane communications and non-sensitive State matters having been proven outright lies, the deletions of 31,830 emails — in the new context of Napolitano’s statement — have suddenly become remarkably relevant.
As the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s questionable email practices deepens, the question of who had access to what information previously located on the former secretary of state’s server is now more critical than ever.
One such individual, Romanian hacker Guccifer, who was abruptly extradited to the United States, revealed he had easily and repeatedly accessed Clinton’s personal server — and he wasn’t the only one.
“For me, it was easy,” the hacker, whose given name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, exclusively told Fox News; “easy for me, for everybody.”
If Guccifer and Napolitano are right, Russia may, indeed, have possession of highly-sensitive information courtesy of Clinton’s arrogant failure to adhere to the obligation to use a government email account during her tenure as secretary — a situation worsened by the now-mendacious claim no sensitive information had been sent through the personal account.
In fact, if Guccifer is to be believed — as his extradition by the U.S. indicates — news of the Kremlin having obtained potentially top-secret material may be the tip of a gargantuan iceberg. Using a readily available program, the Romanian hacker also claimed he observed “up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world” during sessions on Clinton’s personal server. If just one of those unknown parties was connected to Russia, who the other nine might be could be central to the FBI’s decision whether or not to charge Clinton for mishandling classified information.
Adding yet another nail in the coffin case against Hillary on Thursday, the Hill reported conservative watchdog Judicial Watch revealed, pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request, frustration with technical difficulties in obtaining a secure phone line led the secretary to direct a top aide to abandon the effort and call her without the necessary security in place.
“I give up. Call me on my home [number],” Clinton wrote in a February 2009 email from the newly-released batch — on the also notoriously unsecured server — to then-chief of staff, Cheryl Mills.
Though the email thread contains no confirmation such a call was ever made on the unsecured phone line, it evidences still more of the same flagrant disregard for national security apparently peppering Clinton’s practices during her time at the State Department.
“This drip, drip of new Clinton emails show Hillary Clinton could not care less about the security of her communications,” noted Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton, in a statement cited by the Hill. “How many other smoking gun emails are Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the Obama administration hiding from the American people?”
For a putative presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton certainly doesn’t appear to appreciate the imperative for keeping matters of national security obscured from … anyone.
,,,,,, never happen ,,,,, those eMails are worth more if used to blackmail the beast if she were to be elected .
Please do. I want to see the Extortion 17’’s flight plan coordinates she sold to the Muslim Brotherhood. That and all the fees she made for selling state secrets.
Speaking of Hillary and her missing emails, dontcha think that Bernie Sanders must regret giving her a pass about that so soon in the campaign? If he had pressed the issue, maybe he would be ahead in the delegate count...
Here’s an interesting little problem for the worlds smartest woman to solve.
Sanders is only 100 earned delegates behind. The big lead Hillary has are with her bought and paid for super delegates.
If Sanders wins Californida and passes her with elected delegates, the convention will rival 1968 for chaos.
The MSM though keeps lying that the Republican side is headed for a contested convention. As usual, the opposite is true.
Hillary as president would be a gift to America’s enemies. They could buy or blackmail anything they liked from Hillary. Releasing their stash would be like a blackmailer publishing the blackmail material. Once public it loses its power to blackmail.
Every nation which possesses the emails should adopt the wide-eyed innocent expression and say, “we had no idea she was doing anything that stupid. Of course we don’t have anything.”
Unless Russia wants WW3, they should release the emails a month before the electin, not sooner. The Dems will just replace her with biden/Warren.
Yes, and I think some superdelegates are going to turn suddenly on her Hillariness. I lived in Chicago during the 1968 Democrat convention and watched that mess on TV. I wonder where all of those “The Whole World Is Watching” signs have gone?
I’d like to know how the good judge knows about this. How does a TV lawyer guy have information about what the Kremlin is discussing?
Regardless, Putin would much rather have President Hillary than President Trump. Putin would eat her lunch every day of the week.
Come on, Putin.....I triple-dog dare you to release those emails!
Come on, Putin.....I triple-dog dare you to release those emails!
“The Dems will just replace her with biden/Warren.”
Absolutely the Dem will parachute in Biden if necessary,
Or Hillary might make a ‘daring and unexpected!’ VP Choice, like a ‘conservative’ McCain or even Romney to counter Trumps onslaught, shes ill prepared to have a capable opponent whose not afraid to draw back the curtains on her criminal enterprise,
Also if Russia does have the emails (no reason to think that they don’t - along with a dozen other nations) then this maybe explains the whole ‘panama papers’ thing, its a shot across the bow,
Th bitch has got to go! Go trump!
PUTIN has already conquered HILLARY. TRUMP is a fascinating conquest for him. The quest to conquest is in the nature of a former KGB agent.
FBI Director Comey is hoping the Russkies don’t release 20,000 more Hillary emails (probably some highly classified) since Comey will have to hold another press conference where he spouts an even more idiotic and implausible excuse why the FBI hasn’t arrested Satan’s daughter yet.
I will reiterate the fact that Putin has no desire to conquer the world. His goal is to keep Mother Russia, a very sick old woman, alive. All his actions are designed to pump up his approval numbers at home and present the world leader rubes that buy weapons with a display of his wares. He has no wares worth a damn except weapons.
He needs a strong American leader to use as a whipping boy. The whole world knows that Barack is a wimpy black nothingness. Vlad needs a strong target to abuse. No American can do him any real harm but can provide a target for the Russian people to feel good about.

Good point - but I suspect no matter what the implications may be for Nations or individuals involved, that these WILL be released - with or without government(s) approval.
How long will we have to wait?
Let’s say Trump sends an ‘intermediary’ to meet up with Putin. Makes a deal. Trump ends up winning. Will the rats make the same charge as they did with 41’s secret trip to Iran to release the hostages?
If it looks like Trump might be the next prez, they might release them.
If it looks like Clinton might be the next prez, they might hold onto them for blackmail and similar negotiation purposes.
Either way, they show that Clinton’s home server WAS compromised.
Then, of course, are similar concerns/threats from Iran. And China. And a few other hacker groups. Each of those may also have a huge share of Clinton emails. And they are not hanging onto them to learn yoga or get tips on wedding preparations.
