"hacker Guccifer: I breached Clinton server, 'it was easy'"

Fox News:  "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.
Guccifer’s potential role in the Clinton email investigation was first reported byFox News last month. The hacker subsequently claimed he was able to access the server – and provided extensive details about how he did it and what he found – over the course of a half-hour jailhouse interview and a series of recorded phone calls with Fox News.
Fox News could not independently confirm Lazar’s claims.
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.”

This is interesting. I have little doubt Comey is doing a professional and thorough investigation. This idiot Darrell Issa thinks it's too thorough. Issa has fucked up his chances @ investigating. He's worthless. He's worse than worthless, he's a fucking liability. One does have to wonder about the FBI's cyber ability. After all, they had to hire someone like Guccifer to hack into the cell phone of those San Bernandino terrorists.

This news would have had more impact if Guccifer had said that he received Clinton's emails from Russia and China.

Allen, I'm no expert on cyber shit. My partner knows much more. He says, like all criminals, the big ones use the info from the smaller fish. Small time burglars give leads to real professional burglars. With cyber, the Russia and Chinese state sponsored hackers stalk guys like Guccifer and get leads from them.

Drip, drip, drip This or Benghazi, one way or t'ther Smith, Stevens, Woods, and Doherty see justice done.

And it's going to nail her. According to one story the FBI says she's guilty as sin.

Imagine the parade of leaks all year if the Choom Gang doesn't throw her under the bus.

ed, I'm on the record, back when Biden was doing his grief tour on the late night shows, that he was laying the groundwork. Listen, we hate the Clinton's, but not any more than Obama does. He KNOWS Clinton will trash his legacy. Uncle Joe will be his lap dog. I analyze my own thoughts and feelings. Part of what I said is wishful thinking. Because I think Trump would beat Biden more easily than Rodham. Biden is an old Rubio. Trump pimp slapped Rubio.

You may be right. I think the Demos, even Pissy, are going to wonder what the Hell happened this Fall.

I know you don't like the guy, but, at the risk of stirring the Furies, there are a couple of Surber posts that show how antediluvian Hillary's (and Biden's if she has some convenient breakdown) campaign tactics are and how Trump's 21st century float-like-a-butterfly-sting-like-a-bee are going to be how politics works in this country.

Somebody on Gateway commented she'll be begging to be indicted just to be put out of her misery by September. He was kidding, but I think there's going to be more truth than most people would imagine.

I think that the Democratic ticket will be Elziabeth Warren and Deval Patrick. Warren will bring all of Bernies people in a fanatical wave. She will have avoided being beat up during the primary season and can conceal a lot of her past with the help of the lapdog media. It will be much harder for Trump to hit her as she is in sync with him on some of his issues like trade and ending the endless neocon wars. So she takes some important issues off the table for him where he could get crossover votes from Hillary. Patrick or some other token minority can energize the minority vote. It could be Hispanic or if they are really smart and think outside of the box a media celebrity like Trump. Personally if I were her I would pick Oprah. That would scramble the race.

Trooper York said...

I know, I know crazy right? Oprah would be an inspired pick. She is trusted by soap opera women. She shares some of Trumps positives. Name recognition. Familiarity. People are not scared of her. No government experience? Who gives a shit. People don't care about that this election. She is bulletproof from Trump's attacks. While she can punch back at him and he has to pull his punches. An Elizabeth Warren Oprah Winfrey ticket would be pretty hard to beat.

But I don't think the Democrats are smart enough or have big enough balls to try. At least not in this cycle.

Why would it not be Bernie? As I see it his many supporters are more devoted to him than are Trump's. They wouldn't take kindly to seeing their hero kicked out of the way and could express their anger by voting for the other populist star.

Sounds like McGovern/Shriver II. Of course, it's a way to turn all the white guys in the country into Trump supporters. Problem with Fauxcahontas is she's the female Joe. She says dumb stuff only MA would tolerate.

And the minority thing, unless you've got a Ricardo Montalban running with you doesn't seem as urgent as it once did.

Yeah, but her TV show (and just about everything since) died after she introduced The Won to a still-grieving nation.

Bernie is the most popular guy this year. And, if Hillary does have to bail, for any reason, pulling in somebody else besides him to carry the flag will mean war.

Trooper York said...

Because America loves a comeback. Oprah is ripe for a second act. She would be the prefect answer to Trump's celebrity. But the Democrats are too conventional to do it. But she is the magic bullet for them. Even if they put Biden on the ticket. I really think that is their best move.

ndspinelli said...

Two politicians from a solid blue state on the same ticket. Now THAT is wishful thinking.

ndspinelli said...

The Dems would NEVER allow Bernie to get the nomination. They would slip him ricin[Yes, I just finished Breaking Bad for a second time] before they gave him the nod. Here's the Dem pecking order. it has changed recently.

Negro. Done.

Woman

Gay

Latino

Jew

Vegan

ndspinelli said...

You could mix vegan in w/ any of the above and get a twofer.

Jim McDougal somehow died in prison. I expect Guccifer will as well, before anything damaging comes out. Trump should sign him up for campaign ads before he's gone.

Trooper York said...

I heard that John Boehner said that Ted Cruz is Guccifer in the flesh.

WELL!! A red flag just appeared. First, you need to know how the Clinton's operate. It was just revealed Rodham's girlfriend, Huma, was interviewed by the FBI. It was also revealed the Federal Judge handling to FOIA violation civil case ordered Rodham be deposed. Here's the Clinton red flag. An anonymous source has spoken w/ CNN, WaPo and the NYT saying "no malicious intent" has been found yet. Anyone making an anonymous comment is a Clinton operative. Those XXL Spanx on Rodham are getting quite wet.
