My suspicion is that the email hackers already hacked into Lauers email account and will have the questions that he passes to Hillary.....passing them to Trump. I also think that Trump can throw an ace or two into the conversation about how much it costs for a reporter to buy into the Clinton Foundation...at the right moment....to publicly embarrass Lauer.
Lauer might also be playing hardball here and refusing to throw Hillary the soft question routine unless NBC gives him the NBC Nightly News position and toss Lester Holt. It wouldn’t surprise if there are some serious background episodes going on and various people being promised things....which the hackers will show at the right moment.
Anyone who thinks they are safe from the hackers....are just BSing themselves.
