Romanian hacker Guccifer: I breached Clinton server, ‘it was easy’

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Dissent

Catherine Herridge and Pamela K. Browne report on a jail-house interview with Marcel Lehel Lazar, aka, “Guccifer,” about how he hacked then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email server. You read their story on Fox News. If he’s telling the truth, there was nothing very sophisticated about his approach.

    The Fox News about the hacker and Clinton email server article is very careful how it words their input. The seem cautious about what the hacker claims he has accessed on the Clinton email server. The hacker also claims that he has 2GB worth of data that’s too hot, and is on interest to national security. Some how, all this hype about the Clinton email server and hacker is unfolding closer and closer to election day. I won’t get into the political side of this.

    The more time the Feds have to dig around, the more pieces of the puzzle they will find. Now they have 2 major players. One that was the email server administrator, and on the other end, the hacker that supposedly breached the Clinton server. The problem here is that the so-called accused member is of the same party alignment as the President. I am sure it there was one that was a republican or an Independent and a Democrat, it would be handled in a different manner.

    No matter the party alignment, the handling of US state secrets shows NO due care or NO due diligence. The Clinton email server was set up in order to serve the needs of some one that has no concept of what national security secrets are, no does Clinton appear to care. This is when Clinton held a role in which she had access to many secrets. It does not matter whether or not the markings were taken off the emails or correspondence. All it takes is a bit of brains to match up two like items. Prove that Clinton had a copy of a secret document on her server without the markings. Prove that she had read the same message WITH the security markings intact. This proves that she has items on her server that were improperly marked. Clinton and her email server can plead the ignorance, assuming she even cares about the situation. Clinton will say anything she wants – why? Because once the FBI, DIA and other entities collect the necessary facts, she will be headed to criminal court, and her true reputation will be seen for what it is.

      I agree with Anonymous. This will not bode well for H.R.C in regards to her email security. Also, it substantiates her opponents claims about using her private email server for classified information.

        Remember that the FBI examined the server and said they found no evidence of classified info – or info that was classified at the time.
