FBI Probe Into Clinton Emails Prompted Offer Of Cash, Citizenship For Confession, Hacker Claims
Newsweek ^ | 5/11/17

Posted on 05/11/2017 9:39:50 PM PDT by Helicondelta

A Russian citizen accused of being a hacker by both Russia and the U.S. has claimed U.S. officials offered to cut him a deal if he admitted to interfering in the 2016 presidential election.

Yevgeniy Nikulin, 29, has found himself in the middle of an international dispute between Washington and Moscow, at the very center of which lies U.S. allegations that Russia sponsored a series of hacks targeting Democratic Party candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in favor of Republican candidate and current President Donald Trump. On October 5, 2016, days before U.S. intelligence publicly accused Russia of endorsing an infiltration of Democratic Party officials' emails, Nikulin was arrested in Prague at the request of the U.S. on separate hacking charges. Now, Nikulin claims U.S. authorities tried to pin the email scandal on him.

Nikulin was detained in the Czech Republic for allegedly hacking the servers of major sites LinkedIn, Dropbox and Formspring between 2012 and 2013. While awaiting trial, he claims in an undated letter reportedly given to U.S. Russian-language news site Nastoyashchoe Vremya by Nikulin's lawyer, Martin Sadilek, that the FBI visited him at least a couple of times, offering to drop the charges and grant him U.S. citizenship as well as cash and an apartment in the U.S. if the Russian national confessed to participating in the 2016 hacks of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta's emails in July.

This is another plot by the Ruskies working in conjunction with Trump. That is why Trump had to fire comey, comey was on to him. You just know that is going to be the narrative.

But how did the hacker convince Hitlery to use a private server located in a water closet? How did he convince Podesta to use “password” for his password? How did he convince CNN to provide Hitlery with the townhall questions so she could beat Bernie Sanders in the primary? How...?

If this is true it seems a clean sweep of the FBI is in order.

If True the FBI needs to be purged and whoever made the offer tried for treason.

Seth Rich turned over the emails to a third party who gave them to Assage. Seth Rich was murdered by the Clintons/DNC for his transgressions.
