Hacker 'Guccifer,' Who Uncovered Clinton's Private Emails, To Be Extradited To US (rt.com)
schwit1 writes: 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. 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.
"Clinton's improper use of a private email"
No. If that was true, the FBI would have charged her long ago.
No?
you are free to hack and extort from the little people, just don't mess with the people running the show or they will burn you alive. he would have been safer and richer if he just proliferated ransomware.
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Shame on Romania for extradition of one of their own nationals. He should have been prosecuted in his home country.
This does not sound lawful. IANAL
Romania has just killed off its internet business of everything for caving to American pressure. Nobody will trust Romanian ISP's ever now - good-bye easy $USD for them.
I doubt Romania could extradite an American citizen for the same offense. Also if convicted, he should spend his time in a Romanian prison, and any time served concurrently. Taking a prisoner from his locale, state, let alone country is cruel and unusual punishment. Sounds like make up law.
Of course she didn't have anything illegal in her emails.
I love Jesus, except for his foreign policy.
I have a problem with them prosecuting a person in another country. Does that mean I am subject to foreign laws? This is all bullshit.
If you have a server then it's up to you to secure it. Your failure; then arrest yourself. Otherwise don't connect the server to the outside world.
And as general policy there should be no hacking laws. All traffic over a computer network is speech.
If I hook a bomb up to a computer and put it on the internet and someone hacks it who is responsible for the damage? Answer: The idiot that hooked the bomb up to the internet.
He's never even touched a woman; that is punishment enough.
Trump can run as independant. There is no need for him to run as a Republican, it is just convenient for him. If the Republicans are throwing him through the window, they may pay the price if he decides to run for the presidency as an independant. The Republican candidate will lose a large chunk of votes.

Hop!
That has NOT been proven in a court of law yet. Many experts say the laws at the time were poorly written such as to make prosecution very difficult.
Bad judgement, yes. Illegal? Subjective.
Table-ized A.I.
The FBI operates outside the USA.
...never to be seen again. I'm sure they have places worse than ADX Florence specially reserved for people that embarrass the top brass.
To avoid the most severe penalties he will deliver up those emails that Hillary conveniently deleted. That way the NSA doesn't have to burn any political bridges by coughing them up. We know he has some of them since he published screenshots of some classified emails that never quite made it to the FBI. Sucks to be caught between two government agencies trying not to look bad...
The fuck are you talking about.
Maybe you'd like to learn how Teo Peter died. Or, rather, was killed.

Not so much a troll as a woosh.
I do not want your cheap brainburning drugs. They are useless for work. And I am a working man today.
She is holding Top Secret documents in an unsafe location. She was sending Top Secret documents across open networks.
He found out about it.
She has a team of top lawyers and the POTUS in her pocket.
He gets jail, she continues running for office.
Congressional Medal of Honor is an award that needs to be considered.
Get this: to make the point that she did nothing wrong Miss Clinton would continue to use home server and would state that we have always been doing this and there was never a problem.
In the future, reflecting past and reconsidering their path to success president Bernie, Donald or Cruz, whoever the president at the time, will probably pardon this dude.
I shall repeat this message several times in the coming days.
Uh...why? I'm seriously asking here. What's your motivation behind this?
If you just want to annoy us, go for it, I guess. But comment spam is always specific enough that I feel there's a goal behind it. Why do you feel this is the most important story we could be reading right now?
Last post!
If only saying so on Slashdot made it true.
Slashdot still doesnâ(TM)t support Unicode after it was added to the HTML standard in 1997.
I'm willing to pay that price to not have a proto-facist sitting in the Oval Office.
And yes, I'm a registered Republican that cannot believe what has happened to this political party. I may be going independent soon.

Exactly! It's a big deal. The problem is the Republicans gave her cover with the insipid Benghazi probe. The real issue was the private email server containing classified information. FYI the FBI is investigating. Charges come later.
Bullshit alarm!
Bullshit alarm!
We have here a case of utter bullshit being spouted!
No, the information was HUMINT, it was classified at the source and had the classification markings removed. HUMINT is always classified top secret as exposing it would expose the source, who would be arrested or killed for revealing the information.

Trying to claim that these emails were retroactively classified shows your lack of knowledge of how the system works.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Most of the classified emails made public so far (after appropriate scrubbing) were classified at the time they were sent.
Things like foreign intelligence information, CIA asset details etc. are considered 'born classified' meaning the documents were classified as soon as they were created. Other things like State Department schedules can be retroactively classified if something important happens and they want to cover up who was present. Since both types of documents exist in Hilary's email cache the 'retroactively classified' defense died a very quick death almost as soon as it was made, and it's only repeated by die hard Hillary supporters (usually the same people who claim sexism as a defense for every attack).
The State department has been spending a considerable amount of effort to get things declassified to try and save face for Hilary but since they were not the source for many of the classified emails on Hilary's server they have no power to do so.
Powell used email in it's infancy at the State department when simply cc'ing a .gov address was considered ok. He was partially responsible for starting the move to update the email systems at State. There have also been no reports of any external agency classified emails present in any of his records the State department has searched, and they did, all the while claiming NOT to have the resources necessary to meet the court mandated date to search Hilary's.
Of course that's just my opinion...... you could be wrong!
Can we extradite Hillary to Benghazi for prosecution to?
It's not that simple.
Trump is obviously not a religious person. There's very little record of him being much of a church-goer, and what little religious background he has is non-evangelical (Presbyterian in particular).
His biggest opponent, Ted Cruz, is very religious and is an evangelical. If evangelicals really cared about supporting their own, they'd be voting for Cruz in the primaries.
However, Trump is getting a surprising amount of support from the evangelicals (though a lot are voting for Cruz). There's various theories about this. A lot of people don't trust Cruz at all, think he's a big liar, etc. Some could be bad blood because of how Cruz's campaign fucked over Carson's campaign (and Carson was a favorite with the religious set for a while, since Carson is super-religious too).
But the biggest factor in Trump's popularity overall is that his base is working-class white people, of all stripes. They don't feel the Democrats represent them (and they're right, if they look at ones like Hillary who are in the pocket of Wall Street and push free-trade deals and more immigration), and they've finally figured out the mainstream GOP politicians are working against their best interests too. So Trump is basically the best choice they have, in their perspective, because he appears to be working in their best interests.
Right-wing Christians are frequently working-class, so it makes perfect sense that they support the one candidate who appeals to that group.

We Hillary's muscle get a hold of him he'll be wishing he was sent to Guantanamo Bay
It is not possible for a Non American who is living outside of the USA, and not visiting here, to break a US law. The USA has no jurisdiction to make laws that are binding on citizens of another country in their homeland. So no crime was committed under a US Law. Why was he extradited?
Heavy is the head that wears the tinfoil hat.
Irregardless of whether Hilary Clinton send secure or insecure emails via her personal account, it shows ineptitude. Enough to warrant NOT voting for her for any further US office! DUH!
Self-importance and self-indulgence is the root of ALL evil.
