The Kremlin is considering whether or not to release some 20,000 hacked Clinton emails reportedly in its possession.
Russian security services apparently obtained the emails as part of their investigation into the Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, known as Guccifer now in U.S. custody in relation to the Clinton email scandal.
Guccifer hacked into the former secretary of states email. For me, it was easy.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) began monitoring Lazar after a failed attempt in 2011 to hack into RT, a news service funded by the Russian government. While it hasnt been confirmed publicly by its government that Russia is in possession of the emails, there is ample evidence which suggests the Russians do indeed have Clintons emails.
Lazar has stated publicly that he knows he is not the only hacker who was able to and did gain access to Clintons private server. For me, it was easy easy for me, for everybody, he said in an interview with Fox News. Everybody included up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world, that were active on the server while Lazar had access.
Furthermore, RT published portions of Clintons emails on its website in March 2013, claiming they were supplied by Guccifer himself. But given the existence of websites like Wikileaks, its difficult to imagine a hacker like Lazar personally giving such sensitive information to a news agency that is a de facto branch of the Russian government.
The closer the email investigation gets to the truth, the more evidence seems to disappear Indeed, RT's proximity to the Russian government suggests it's more likely the agency received the emails, not from Lazar himself, but from Russian authorities monitoring Lazar or Russian hackers themselves. In October 2015, The Associated Press reported that Russian authorities may have hacked Clinton's server on at least five separate occasions.
The existence of these emails is a significant problem for Clinton. Despite the ongoing FBI investigation growing larger and more serious by the day it was revealed last week that her closest aides from the State Department had all been interviewed, some more than once Clinton seems no closer to being indicted.
Indeed, the FBI's investigation has at times seemed almost farcical. On Monday, the State Department said it had apparently lost four years' worth of emails from Brian Pagliano, Clinton's IT head who set up the private server.
"Such records might shed light on his role in setting up Clinton's server, and why he was granted immunity by the FBI," said Republican National Committee Deputy Communications Director Raj Shah. "But it seems that his emails were either destroyed or never turned over, adding yet another layer to the secrecy surrounding his role."
But if the State Department is unable (or unwilling) to provide materials to the FBI pertinent to its investigation, then perhaps the Russian government will oblige.
Wanna bet real money ?
I'm reminded of two posts, one from April, 2015 by Talisker:
"Fact is, Hillary had THOUSANDS of emails between her private, unsecured email system and the State Department email system. Therefore the Russians (and everyone else) could easily not only break into her system, but then use her own emails to piggyback into the State Department system and probe it - and from there to every other government agency and the White House.
What Hillary did was - literally - high treason. The ENTIRE Federal government is now compromised. This is a security breach so huge, we literally have to scrap everything and start all over again. It is possible that the US simply has no secrets from its enemies anymore - Hillary literally, and deliberately, GAVE THEM AWAY. And THAT is the TRUTH."
and a paragraph by Dr. Gorka from the article, Jan,16, Latest Clinton Emails Are The .44 Magnum of Smoking Guns
"Theres the issue of what if Anonymous, or the Chinese, accessed that information on her private server? he continued, referring to the Anonymous hacker collective. And shes in the White House, and they start to blackmail her, saying: If you dont do this, with regards to something that matters to us, were gong to let out what you really did. So shes eminently blackmailable, in addition to the issue of the security of our future information."
I hope Trump hammers home this whole potential blackmail issue. This one issue alone should be enough to sink her. Hey Donald, bring it up in the debates with references from the various hacker and IT types who will testify Russia has Hillary's whole server, no doubt about it.
If Hillary had one ounce of integrity, she would call a news conference tomorrow, announce she is dropping out of the race, give a sincere apology to the American people and give herself up to the U.S. Marshals Service.
why would the Kremlin say or do
any of this?
it is obvious they prefer Hillary over trump
Very interesting point. Treason I for Hillary. Forget running for President.

heard this guy on C-SPAN 2 when the book came out. Iran’s role in Benghazi.
If you include the DoJustUs then yep...
Duh!
“Its potentially worse than that. She has backed herself into a corner with public statements. Emails to the contrary - or emails of any kind that are highly personal or highly sensitive - could be used as blackmail by a foreign government.”
Yes, she sold them 25% of our national Uranium, through a straw buyer in Canada through her Foundation.
She should be tried and hung for treason. Her sale of national military assets to aggressors for her own personal gain is nothing short of espionage, fraud and high treason.
Kremlin Has Hillary's Emails
how was it that the Russians would know that Chris Stevens would be in Benghazi on that particular day?
I think we all here know the answer to that question.

Don’t Think So
I have worked with CIA and FBI and have never ran into a no-load, every single contact was with a very sharp (sharper than me) Individual. Stress the Individual, I was Military (Collective) they were Individuals working for the Collective.
Hard to explain unless you were there.
(All Top Notch .. no Family or Political appointments,YMMV)
I’m sure to be proven wrong by anything I say or do, but My Memories will sustain my belief that our current Leaderships Course and Plan to Fundamentally change MY Country will not prevail.
**** “I hope the stress is killing her. Literally” ****
YES! DITTO, BUMP, AND HIGH FIVE
“They might not release eMails that would harm Hillary if they calculate that she would be an easier foe as president than Trump.”
They might rather work with competent people.
The Obama/Clinton policy in the Middle-East has been a disaster. I doubt they want to see more of it and may prefer Trump or Sanders.
Can you imagine headache of PIAPS trying to impose sanctions on Russia for gender specific bathrooms?
Don’t you think the Russians might have a higher priority than Climate Change?
They might find it useful to publicize how much the PRC knows about US secrets.
The last thing the Russians want is an unstable world.
There are several good, non-nefarious reasons that they might release the Emails.
Henry Kissinger will die laughing if true.
1. Clinton told him to go to Benghazi - he had a deadline of 9/30 (end of fiscal year) to author a report on the "political and security" situation
2. He had dinner with the Benghazi city council the night before
Why not wait until Hillary becomes president and then use it to best advantage?
I don’t think Russians have the e-mails. Judge Napolitano has a very poor judgement when it comes to source criticism. The talk about these 20,000 e-mails was started by a site http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/ and they publish all sorts of crazy things like for example “Mysterious Planet Ejected From Black Hole At Center Of Galaxy Warned Could Soon Impact Earth”. The RT article from 2013 clearly states that it was Sid Blumenthal’s AOL account that got hacked and all the e-mails published had Blumenthal either as a sender or receiver.
Most of the stuff we've heard about the Clintons (e.g. The Clinton Body Count, etc.) is probably exaggerated.
But even the stuff that we know is true doesn't get fully and properly reported.
Our only hope is that the American public is mad enough to take the red pill and vote for Trump.
I fear they will be afraid on election day, however, and go with the "safe" felon rather than the "crazy" reality show host.
