Hillary Clinton was working so hard to hide her emails from the American people that she exposed them to everyone from foreign intelligence agencies to random hackers. Also it turns out that Sidney Blumenthal is the hole in Hillary's security.
The infamous Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer,” speaking exclusively with Fox News, claimed he easily – and repeatedly – breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server in early 2013.
"For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody," Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held.
The 44-year-old Lazar said he first compromised Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account, in March 2013, and used that as a stepping stone to the Clinton server. He said he accessed Clinton’s server “like twice,” though he described the contents as “not interest[ing]” to him at the time.
“I was not paying attention. For me, it was not like the Hillary Clinton server, it was like an email server she and others were using with political voting stuff," Guccifer said.
Hillary 2016 is doing what it always does, deny everything.
In response to Lazar’s claims, the Clinton campaign issued a statement Wednesday night saying, "There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell. In addition to the fact he offers no proof to support his claims, his descriptions of Secretary Clinton's server are inaccurate. It is unfathomable that he would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he did to his other victims.”
That's a point, but Lazar is not a conventional hacker, but had his own eccentric obsessions. He hacked politicians, but he also targeted a variety of people, and his reasons had more to do with an illuminati obsession than conventional politics. There's also no particular reason for him to admit to yet more crimes.
“It was like an open orchid on the Internet,” Marcel Lehel Lazar, who uses the devilish handle Guccifer, told NBC News in an exclusive interview from a prison in Bucharest. “There were hundreds of folders.”
As Scott Johnson at Powerline notes, NBC had been sitting on its own version of the story for a while. Presumably because it was deemed damaging to Clinton. That's what this election will look like.
