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.
I think they won’t. Apparently Hillary is on good terms with the Russians after resetting our relations with them. Ergo, they would do nothing to embarrass her.
The FBI have shown themselves as a joke.
This is disqaulifying among a million other things. Blackmail potential
She will end up starting WW3 against Russia too..that won’t help things
Yes, they should release them. Hillary will lie, of course.
[She will end up starting WW3 against Russia too..that won’t help things]
I’m not certain that Obama isn’t. Trying at least.
Bucharest TAXI DRIVERS have better knowledge of the workings of the US government than US citizens do.
HOW TELLING.
Clintoon may become a footnote in history if/when Putin releases her emails.
Hillary’s Emails Hacked by Russia – Kremlin Deciding Whether to Release 20,000 Stolen Emails

The Kremlin is debating whether to release the 20,000 emails they have hacked off of Hillary Clinton’s server.
According to a report from four days ago, beginning in 2011, the Russians began monitoring Romanian computer hacker Marcel Lazăr Lehel (aka Guccifer) after he attempted, unsuccessfully, to break into the computer system of the Russian funded RT television network.
After monitoring Guccifer, the Russians were reportedly able to record (both physically and electronically) his actions which allowed the Russian intelligence analysts, in 2013, to not only detect his breaking into the private computer of Secretary Clinton, but also break in and copy all of its contents as well.
The report notes that shortly after Russia obtained Clinton’s emails, they released a limited amount to RT TV which were published in an article in March 2013, titled Hillary Clinton’s ‘hacked’ Benghazi emails: FULL RELEASE.
Apparently no Western journalists promoted this story in 2013.

My guess is that if this wasn't an election year or if Hillary wasn't running, they'd release them. Given the election, it would all end up being spin doctored into,these are fake !! Just trying to sway the election,"
The, "they're fake" meme will happen anyway although with header information it'll be difficult to make stick, but Russia releasing them in an election year before the FBI does it would muddy the water. Remember, the FBI has said they're thinking of releasing a large number of them and if the JD doesn't do something before long, I expect someone to leak all of them anyway.
Well, every world war has focused on wiping out as many white european men as possible.
Wait until the Huma e mails surface..
Of course, we’re buddies with Russia now thanks to HRC’s Glasnost style reset!
Repeatedly and without fail.
It’s potentially worse than that. She has backed herself into a corner with public statements. Emails to the contrary - or emails of any kind that are highly personal or highly sensitive - could be used as blackmail by a foreign government.
I hope the stress is killing her. Literally, I mean.
Immune system compromised. Anxiety, blood pressure spikes as well as hormonal and thyroid imbalances. Daily prescription meds, maybe some IM/IV supplementation going on.
Push it to the very end, you wretched bitch.
Trump would ‘make deals’ with Putin. That reason alone is enough to release them.
They might not release eMails that would harm Hillary if they calculate that she would be an easier foe as president than Trump.
I think they should.
Gaddafi’s manpads were being collected at Benghazi and funneled to Syrian Terror groups which promised to overthrow Assad, rusSia’s client, thereby denying Russia of its single port on the Mediterranean.
Russia opted to fight back.
how was it that the Russians would know that Chris Stevens would be in Benghazi on that particular day?
I think we all here know the answer to that question.
