Hacker who claims he breached Clinton server pleads guilty, strikes deal with feds
Fox News ^ | May 25, 2016 | By Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne

The Romanian hacker who claimed he easily breached Hillary Clinton's email server pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to two counts of computer hacking charges, as part of a deal with the Justice Department.

In exchange for a reduced sentence, Marcel Lehel Lazar – also known as Guccifer -- has agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in the future....

...An intelligence source told Fox News at the time of his extradition from Romania in late March -- which was unusual because his prison term there was not complete and no major financial fraud was alleged against U.S. victims -- that it was not a "coincidence" and was connected to the FBI email probe.

The same source said Guccifer’s breach of Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal’s account – which was connected to his indictment in the U.S., and which first exposed the .Clintonemail account -- put national defense information at risk.

“[Hillary Clinton’s] gross negligence allowed this material to get out to an adversary,” the source said. “Through her communications with Blumenthal, [Clinton] contributed exposure and risk.”

And part of the deal is to not reveal what he now knows about Hillary.

Why would Putin attack Hillary when there is a chance she may become POTUS? When your enemy is destroying itself, why intervene?

Trump should use this story to explain, in easy terms, how Hillary jeopardised national security by emailing Sid Vicious from her non-secure server to his non-secure server and back again. He should tell the story that Sid was banned by Obama from communicating state business with her and her to him.

He could boil it down to a small paragraph so people get how reckless she was.

I suggest that he stays out of the weight room. Just sayin'.

Body weight exercises are great for conditioning.

They better keep this guy under lock and key. Even then he could wind up like Frankie Five Angels.

“Putin doesn’t need to do anything. I bet that the only reason Hillary hasn’t been officially cleared by the Obama DOJ is that these e-mails can be released afterwards making them all look like fools.”

Interesting angle.

[Putin will wait for President Hillary and then the fun begins]

Exactly. Trump needs to say she is forever compromised.

I thought I read that he also gave or sold those emails to Putin.

I doubt the FBI is going to do anything.

No way. Blackmailing Hilary as President would be worth far more...

Putin could do the world a great service by releasing his copies of Mrs. Bill Clinton’s secret server emails. He would give us the unredacted originals, as opposed to the scrubbed versions the Justice Dept. has released.

Putin will never release his copies of the emails.

He wants Hillary to be elected. Then he will blackmail her with the emails.

The stupidity of what Hillary Clinton did is astounding.

Guccifer may have been safer in Romania because here he might face a Lynch mob.
