Romanian hacker who claims he breached Clinton server says he spoke with FBI at length

EXCLUSIVE: The Romanian hacker who says he easily breached Hillary Clinton’s personal email server also claimed, in a series of interviews with Fox News, that he spoke with the FBI at length on the plane when extradited from Romania to Virginia last month.

"They came after me, a guy from the FBI, from the State Department," 44-year-old Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News during a jailhouse phone interview. He said the conversation was "80 minutes ... recorded," and he took his own notes.

A government source confirmed that the hacker had a lot to say on the plane but provided no other details. Lazar was flown to the U.S. to face separate cyber-crime charges.

In addition to the apparent conversation with the FBI on the plane, Fox News has learned a meeting was expected as early as this week at the Alexandria, Va., detention center where he’s being held involving Guccifer, the FBI, the U.S. attorney and the defendant’s court-appointed lawyer.

These officials have not commented on his clams or detention.

An intelligence source close to the investigation, speaking with Fox News last month, questioned the timing of Lazar’s extradition to the U.S., coming amid the Clinton email probe. As for what was discussed on that plane, Lazar said he told a State Department representative on the plane about "hot" data, some of which was hidden in Google drives, and other data that was too sensitive and deleted. The hacker, who offered no proof for his claims, said cryptically that he could not say more.

Can’t have the Russians or Chinese pulling any surprises if she’s President, can we?

I hope Trump hammers home the 'Blackmailability' of Hillary Clinton. Can we Americans take the risk?

Just say “Guccifer and duplicate RSB Drives” hung around a couple cats’ necks in Romania and Hillary will never sleep again.

I know a couple Romanians and they are all crazy, often like a fox.

“Sleep well Hillary. You have nothing to lose but your freedom”.

Instead of singing “The Stars and Stripes Forever”, I’ve written a new song just for Hillary. It is called “The Bars and Stripes Forever”.

Orange is very becoming, on a prison suit made by Gucci-fer.
