A Russian man wanted by the Justice Department on charges connected to hacking U.S. companies now claims the FBI offered him immunity in exchange for accepting responsibility for cyberattacks targeting former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Yevgeny Nikulin, the alleged hacker, laid the claim to Russian media Thursday in a letter sent from a Czech Republic prison cell amid an international extradition battle currently underway between Washington and Moscow.
FBI agents promised Mr. Nikulin money, American citizenship and a free apartment for taking the fall over hacking Mrs. Clintons campaign, he alleged in a letter published Thursday by Nastoyashchoe Vremya, a Russian-language website.
[They told me:] you will have to confess to breaking into Clintons inbox for [President Trump] on behalf of [Russian President Vladimir Putin], Mr. Nikulin wrote, as translated by The Moscow Times.
He was offered to falsely testify that he was cooperating in the attack on the Democratic Party, defense attorney Martin Sadilek said Thursday, the Associated Press reported. The FBI declined to comment.

While I question Nikulin’s veracity, I could believe the FBI offered American citizenship and an apartment but were not sincere. I would want some corroboration, but I don’t consider the allegation impossible.
Richard Jewell agrees with me.
Credible enough.
The dems are good at hiding concrete evidence. What they’re not good at is hiding their obviousness.
They are laughably obvious about being liars, fabricators and corruptors.
But when certain pieces fall into place just the right way, concrete evidence like this can be discovered.
Bookmark.
Wait and see. I think there will be some surprises coming out about the ex-British intelligence officer’s “dossier”, and possibly a few demotions or firings. The man’s credibility is less than sterling.
Bump!
