A wealthy Russian businessman indicted in Boston late last year on hacking and insider trading charges could have access to documents and information about the 2016 election hacking in the U.S.
Vladislav Klyushin was extradited to the U.S. from Switzerland late last month and charged with overseeing a multinational scam that pried privileged documents that companies were filing with U.S. regulators before they were public, then trading on the information.
Among his employees, and also named in the indictment, is Ivan Yermakov – who was among a dozen Russian military intelligence officers former special counsel Robert Mueller indicted in 2018 on charges related to 2016 election hacking.
Sources close to the Kremlin and Russia's intelligence sources believe Klyushin has access to documents related to the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton allies, Bloomberg News reported According to the report, the documents establish that a team from Russia's GRU military intelligence unit led the hack, providing the first detailed evidence of the alleged hacking effort.
The U.S. is pursuing the case but has not been able to try any of the alleged hackers, who remain outside the U.S. Indictments of people identified as members of the 'Fancy Bear' hacking team charge them with computer hacking, wire fraud, and identity theft.
According to the Bloomberg report, Klyushin was approached by U.S. and British spy agencies in the years before he left Russia by private jet for a ski trip with his family in Switzerland. People characterized the extradition as a 'serious intelligence blow' to the Kremlin.
If he has documents central to the election hack, Klyushin could try to leverage the information about the election hack in exchange for leniency in the financial crimes he is charged with carrying out.

“The return of “Russia, Russia, Russia!”. Instead of a fake dossier we’ll have a fake defector who will vouch for the fake dossier.”
Oh...I think it’s more than that. This is an attempt of Putin to help keep the Democrats and Joe Biden in power by sending more disinformation to the US. They just talked recently, we need ALL THE TRANSCRIPTS (sound familiar) from the conversations to make sure they didn’t plan this together.
This sounds like a deep state anti Trump move. What the NYT did with Valerie Plame comes to mind.
The hacks of the DNC, riiiight, the contents are plastered in all the papers. His main fear will be Arkancide, and everyone in the Kremlin and the US knows it. Meanwhile the fraud Christopher Steele is still spending the holidays with his loving family.
There is no proof that Russia hacked the DNC, in fact it points to an inside job, Seth (who was murdered) Rich did it.
Don’t tell them. People think the Soviet Union is still there, because Rat media says so.
You still have to go through immigration control in leaving Russia, because your visa is checked to see if you are leaving on or before the valid end date: that’s how they prevent illegal immigration.
It’s a system that the US could use.
But never let facts get in the way of a bad preconception.
Gotta redeem the worn out old bag Hillary in time for her big re-entry onto the political scene, tanned, rested and more hideous than ever.
The kid didn’t even hack; he downloaded stuff onto a USB.
And then it comes to what you said, even at worst, a hack, it would not equate with changing outcomes. That is because, short of some Jedi trick, no opponent of the hildebeeste “made her” eschew campaigning in states like Wisconsin.
I don’t see any way you can mention the guys name and Hilary Clinton in the same article when he is not on the run while indicted for charges, and expect him to live. It’s just a matter of how ingenious the kill will be. Hope he has a good burial policy.

Even odds Vladislav Klyushin commits suicide before the covid/vax gets him
He’s hiding in Rachel Maddow’s basement.
They keep beating that dead horse lie.
Aw jeez, not this 💩 again!
A political prisoner, in short. I’d take everything the FBI is going to say he told with great skepticism.
