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.
It ain’t like she doesn’t have a big FOR SALE sign hanging out.
“The RT article from 2013 clearly states that it was Sid Blumenthal’s AOL account that got hacked and all the e-mails published had Blumenthal either as a sender or receiver.”
Which raises the questions, “Why and how did Blumenthal have these emails, some of which contained classified material, when he was not a government employee or contractor with a current security clearance?”
Hillary sent her. He is Hillary’s attack dog.
Given the Clinton’s “activities” and everything that Hillary has done or attempted to do throughout the course of her “professional” career, that’s probably a false premise. You assume that’s the only thing that the Russians (or anyone else, for that matter) have on her.
I’ll bet I know what the FBI LEGATT (legal Attaché) in Moscow is doing right now...
Checked it again. It was only e-mails from Blumenthal to Hillary. I am posting from a phone and can’t make a link, but the article comes from google with search ‘rt 2013 hillary blumenthal’.
I smell “blackmail”.
I’m generally not a big fan of Zero Hedge, but the article at ZH at the link below contains the screenshots of Blumenthal’s inbox which seems to contain at least one message not released by the State Dept., presumably because it contains such highly sensitive information that it could not be revealed even in redacted form. So, Blumenthal clearly had access to very sensitive material that he received from highly placed sources.
As a SoS how do you have time to send/receive 30K+ private emails, as claimed “deleted,” and Slick Willy NOT into emails, and same time working as an effective SoS???
