According to a report in Newsweek by Tom OConnor, a Russian hacker who had been detained in Prague at the request of US authorities, was visited multiple times by FBI agents, who pressed him to confess to hacking the Podesta emails at the behest of Putin, and to help Trump. They allegedly (and unsuccessfully) offered generous inducements, to say the least.
Yevgeniy Nikulin, 29, has found himself in the middle of an international dispute between Washington and Moscow, at the very center of which lies U.S. allegations that Russia sponsored a series of hacks targeting Democratic Party candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in favor of Republican candidate and current President Donald Trump. On October 5, 2016, days before U.S. intelligence publicly accused Russia of endorsing an infiltration of Democratic Party officials' emails, Nikulin was arrested in Prague at the request of the U.S. on separate hacking charges. Now, Nikulin claims U.S. authorities tried to pin the email scandal on him.
Nikulin was detained in the Czech Republic for allegedly hacking the servers of major sites LinkedIn, Dropbox and Formspring between 2012 and 2013. While awaiting trial, he claims in an undated letter reportedly given to U.S. Russian-language news site Nastoyashchoe Vremya by Nikulin's lawyer, Martin Sadilek, that the FBI visited him at least a couple of times, offering to drop the charges and grant him U.S. citizenship as well as cash and an apartment in the U.S. if the Russian national confessed to participating in the 2016 hacks of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta's emails in July.

Looks like another stooge being set up as the fall guy, sort of like the man who made the video that caused the murder of the American ambassador to Libya.
Don’t believe this. Russians, like Democrats, are congenital liars.
It is a strange story, perhaps it is a lie, I do not know. I do know that DC is a strange place with strange people doing strange things.
He would have been assasinated by pro-Clinton peeps.
I sure as heck don’t trust the FBI to tell the truth about anything concerning Clinton or president Trump.
So, if the speculation that he was on the way to spill some beans...
http://www.thewrap.com/wikileaks-julian-assange-dnc-democratic-national-committee-staffer-murdered-hillary-clinton-email-source/
because he had the story on what was being attempted by the offer to Yevgeniy Nikulin...
Yeah, that would be kinda bigly.
.
Could be a total deflection for the Seth Rich assassination.
The swamp is very deep at the FBI. It will take a tough-minded individual as director and a small army of dedicated assistants to clean up this mess.
Bring this young hacker in and submit him to a polygraph test. If he “passes” find out which FBI agents were involved. There is criminality involved here -— and that criminality may involve members of the deep state. And the criminality may reach into the high levels of our government.
If true, Comey should hang.
The Gummint entity that saw fit to burn down a CHURCH full of 100 people, including 20 kids:
Would they also do THIS..?
CHILD’S PLAY..!!
They didn’t bat an eye.
First thing they did after the conflagration died down:
Raised the ATF FLAG directly on the still-burning embers.
SOUNDS made-up, right..?
They did it on videotape.
(more kids than at Sandy Hook)
Atlanta Olympics, 1996:
An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.
Knowing Richard Jewell revers real cops the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.
The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?
A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their training video, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with his friends, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.
He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that hes in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.
YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.
It started at least 20 years ago.
These days, I’d believe a 29 year old Russian hacker before I’d believe the bureaucrats at the FBI
sad but true
Good point, the left is truly an evil and murdering dictatorship.
I’m sure the FBI and CIA have made many controversial offers to individuals, both foreign and domestic over the years to gain their cooperation. Nothing would surprise me. So as Democrats would say: “It doesn’t matter about the evidence...it’s the seriousness of the charges that count.”
QUite true. So is the U.S. government. I wouldn't trust the FBI to judge a 5th grade spelling bee without burning down the school, or killing one of the contestants.
