The Kremlin is considering whether or not to release some 20,000 hacked Clinton emails reportedly in its possession, Edmund Kozak reports for Lifezette.
Russian security services apparently obtained the emails as part of their investigation into the Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, known as “Guccifer” now in U.S. custody in relation to the Clinton email scandal.
“Guccifer” hacked into the former secretary of state’s email.
“There’s a debate going on in the Kremlin between the Foreign Ministry and the Intelligence Services about whether they should release the 20,000 of Mrs. Clinton’s emails that they have hacked into,” Judge Andrew Napolitano told Megyn Kelly on Monday.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) began monitoring Lazar after a failed attempt in 2011 to hack into RT, a news service funded by the Russian government.
While it hasn’t been confirmed publicly by its government that Russia is in possession of the emails, there is ample evidence which suggests the Russians do indeed have Clinton’s emails.
Lazar has stated publicly that he knows he is not the only hacker who was able to and did gain access to Clinton’s private server. “For me, it was easy … easy for me, for everybody,” he said in an interview with Fox News. Everybody included “up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world,” that were active on the server while Lazar had access.
