Guccifer, the infamous Romanian hacker who accessed emails of celebrities and top US officials, will be extradited to the United States, after losing a case in his home country’s top court.
Reuters reports that Lehel will come to the US under an 18-month extradition order, following a request made by the US authorities. Details of the extradition have not been made public, however.
Marcel Lehel, a 42-year-old hacker better known by his pseudonym “Guccifer,” achieved notoriety when he released an email with images of paintings by former President George W. Bush, including a self-portrait in a bathtub. He also hacked and published emails from celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Steve Martin and Mariel Hemingway.
Also released were emails between former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Corina Cretu, a Romanian member of European Parliament, prompting Powell to deny that the two had had an affair.
Perhaps most notably, Lehel was also the first source to uncover Hillary Clinton’s improper use of a private email account while she was Secretary of State, which the FBI is investigating as a potential danger to national security.

So, I’m reading this correctly, and I may be wrong but, he’s in trouble because he saw classified emails? That’s not his fault at all but the person who changed the classification without the authority to do so. It’s the person who removed the classification of those top secret emails that needs to be prosecuted which would be, Hillary. He needs to be protected not prosecuted.
If this is true, Hillary is headed for jail. This is a serious move and one that isn’t necessary if they were just looking to sweep everything under the rug.
He will be testifying before the Clinton FBI grand jury within the week.
Not a chance. She’s the GOP-e’s only hope for POTUS.
that’s how I see it too - IMO he gets immunity
If I were scheduled for the same flight I would cancel.
Is it possible he’s brought here for purposes of supporting Hillary’s case? Same question regarding Pags’ immunity.

ICBW, but I believe he’s in trouble for hacking the computers of W and other high ranking or former high ranking US officials.
If The Emperor’s New Clothes were told in a modern setting,
the king’s guard would have run the little boy through with a sword.
Hell, he’ll probably be the FBI’s star witness..........................
heck, he can stay at my house!................
