Timing of Extradition of Hacker "Guccifer," Who Downloaded Hillary/Syd Blumenthal Emails, To the US Is "No Coincidence," Say Fed Sources

He hacked and published the Hillary/Blumenthal correspondences. It was always assumed, or claimed, that he'd hacked Blumenthal's emails.

Is it possible he actually hacked Hillary's, and that's why he's being extradited? To provide testimony to that effect?

Or that by hacking Blumenthal, it was easy enough to send an email from Blumenthal's account containing a spyware file which Hillary would have thought nothing of opening?

Eh, that's a bit of a stretch by me. But this does seem very curious.

Catherine Herridge and Pamela K. Brown:

The extradition of Romanian hacker "Guccifer" to the U.S. at a critical point in the FBI's criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email use is “not a coincidence,” according to an intelligence source close to the case.

...

Former law enforcement and cyber security experts said the hacker, whose real name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, could -- now that he's in the U.S. -- help the FBI make the case that Clinton's email server was compromised by a third party, one that did not have the formal backing and resources of a foreign intelligence service such as that of Russia, China or Iran.

"Because of the proximity to Sidney Blumenthal and the activity involving Hillary's emails, [the timing] seems to be something beyond curious," said Ron Hosko, former assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division from 2012-2014.

...

A spokesman for the FBI's Washington Field Office, which led the Guccifer investigation, had no comment on the extradition, the timing, and any potential intersection with the Clinton email probe.

An expert opines that Guccifer will only be used to demonstrate how easy it was to crack Blumethal's private account and thus (I guess) how negligent Hillary was in handling classified information.
