Hacker ‘Guccifer,’ Who Uncovered Clinton’s Private Emails, To Be Extradited To US

[Purveyor]

Guccifer, the infamous Romanian hacker who accessed emails of celebrities and top US officials, will be extradited to the United States, after losing a case in his home country’s top court.

Reuters reports that Lehel will come to the US under an 18-month extradition order, following a request made by the US authorities. Details of the extradition have not been made public, however.

Marcel Lehel, a 42-year-old hacker better known by his pseudonym “Guccifer,” achieved notoriety when he released an email with images of paintings by former President George W. Bush, including a self-portrait in a bathtub. He also hacked and published emails from celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Steve Martin and Mariel Hemingway.

Also released were emails between former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Corina Cretu, a Romanian member of European Parliament, prompting Powell to deny that the two had had an affair.

Perhaps most notably, Lehel was also the first source to uncover Hillary Clinton’s improper use of a private email account while she was Secretary of State, which the FBI is investigating as a potential danger to national security.

1. I suppose there are a number of things you could read into the timing of this story

If I were Hillary Clinton or one of her toadies I might be losing some sleep over it.

7. He hacked Sidney Blumenthal's personal email account

and distribute memo's that Blumenthal wrote for Clinton.

12. No you are just ignorant of the facts

he didn't break into her account he broke into Blumenthal's. On edit, all one had to do was go to the link and then to the link within the link. Of course though it was easier to just ignorantly slime Clinton which says a whole lot about you.

16. But, if he hacked Blumenthal's e-mails then surely he could get into

Hillary's server following the tracks?

Since we know from Hillary's e-mail releases that she was in constant contact with Sid Blumenthal. Why wouldn't the two be connected? Hacking Blumenthal and following the link to Hillary's Private Server once he had the address?

3. The plot thickens

A new character enters!

4. I thought MSM said her email wasn't hacked?

5. i think they said the server logs showed no evidence of hacking

could be the guy knows how to get in and out w/o leaving a trace, or he was able to intercept the emails in transit

8. He hacked Sidney Blumenthal's personal email account

and copied email he send her.

10. I'd like to see those emails. (Nt)

6. Is this a different e mail account? Her server in the basement wasn't hacked

was it?

13. It is Blumenthal's account as the link says

[NV Whino]

11. I see Gitmo in his future r grading the Clinton emails.

He gets a pass on everything I lose, of course.

15. Oh my...just a snip

(I hate to think what might happen to him)

Also released were emails between former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Corina Cretu, a Romanian member of European Parliament, prompting Powell to deny that the two had had an affair.



Perhaps most notably, Lehel was also the first source to uncover Hillary Clinton’s improper use of a private email account while she was Secretary of State, which the FBI is investigating as a potential danger to national security.

n March 2013, the hacker released to RT and several other news outlets the four memos that had been sent to Clinton from her former political adviser Sidney Blumenthal. The memos contain information regarding the September 11, 2012 attacks on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, as well as the January 2013 hostage crisis in In Amenas, Algeria.[/b
