Guccifer expected to plead "guilty" on Wednesday.

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/

Lazar was brought to the United States, just as reports indicate that the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email server was in in full swing. Lazar is facing charges including wire fraud, cyberstalking, identify theft, unauthorized access to computers and obstruction of justice. In an interview with both NBC and Fox News, Lazar said he had “easily” breached Clinton’s email server. Lazar had previously entered a not guilty plea. However, the court docket now indicates that Lazar may have come to some kind of plea agreement with the feds. Lazar is reportedly cooperating with the FBI as they work to determine if any laws were broken when Hillary Clinton set up a private unsecured email server. A jury trial for Lazar had been scheduled to begin in September.man-who-says-he-hacked-clintons-server-set-to-enter-guilty-plea/

"Oh, you drove with .16 BAC and killed three people? Well, that's a problem."

3. Does anyone think any physical evidence of the hack will be produced?

The wording was gray. He said the server was like an open flower or something but he would not provide proof...or something like that.

I wonder if he does have hard proof and evidence of the hack will be provided at trial.

Guccifer's statement confuse me.

ETA - I want Clinton, Inc.'s corruption gone. I've really had enough of her, her cronies, her crooked foundation, her lies, her cheating, warmongering fake ass.

hacked Blumenthal. If he's got files stashed somewhere in the cloud that can verify he broke into Clinton's private server, she's toast.

5. Why would he give away what he's got before he got a plea deal?

You get a good deal, then provide the evidence you've got, not the other way around.

He'll provide whatever he's got now that a deal is in place.

Third paragraph from the end of the article...

Two birds with one paragraph. Damn.


"For Lazar, a plea agreement where he cooperates in exchange for a reduced sentence would be advantageous. He told Fox News he has nothing to hide and wants to cooperate with the U.S. government, adding that he has hidden two gigabytes of data that is “too hot” and “it is a matter of national security.”

It seems unlikely if Clinton hasn't been interviewed yet. But there is of course speculation that she got interviewed earlier this month. If that's the case, this could be the start of the shit storm.

they already pulled Blumenthal's thread and now Gufficer and McAuliffe's threads, and announced it very noisily each time

and last week's "we are NOT absolving her!"

things move so fast
