H.A. Goodman Flashback: Romanian Hacker Guccifer Just Gave Bernie Sanders the Democratic Nomination

Romanian Hacker ‘Guccifer’ Just Gave Bernie Sanders the Democratic Nomination
05/06/2016 09:49 am ET
H. A. Goodman

There’s the recent claims of a Romanian hacker named Marcel Lehel Lazar, also known as Guccifer. His statements are addressed in an NBC News article titled Hacker Guccifer Claims He Got Into Hillary Clinton’s Server

<...>

Guccifer is likely telling the truth, and former FBI agent Chris Tarbell states “To go on television and admit to a felony you didn’t commit seems a little silly.”

<....

Guccifer’s relevance in 2016 is enormous. Touching upon this impact, The Daily Beast has a brilliant article by Shane Harris titled Hillary’s Secret Email Was a Cyberspy’s Dream Weapon

<...>

While Hillary supporters are dancing in the streets after hearing anonymous sources stating she didn’t “willfully” break laws, the FBI hasn’t formally concluded anything. I explain how the Clinton campaign, and its supporters, view the FBI in the following YouTube segment. Ultimately, this viewpoint, combined with the likelihood that Guccifer did indeed compromise Clinton’s server, will give Bernie Sanders the Democratic nomination.

News from today:

Comey: Hacker Guccifer never gained access to Clinton server
By Katie Bo Williams - 07/07/16 12:50 PM EDT

The hacker who exposed Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email account never gained access to her private server, FBI Director James Comey testified Thursday.

The hacker “Guccifer,” whose real name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, hacked the email account of longtime Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal — and claimed he broke into the server Clinton used when she was secretary of State.

But those claims were bogus, Comey told the House Oversight Committee during his testimony on the investigation into Clinton’s use of a personal email server.

“He did not gain access to Clinton's server, he admitted that was a lie,” Comey said in response to questions from Rep. Blake Farenthold

He was never right on anything and I was amazed that people actually posted his articles on DU. Trusting or posting anything from Goodman shows bad judgment

Progressive Entertainment Complex. Like Robert Reich and Cenk Uygur, he's got a lot of confirmation-bias-boosting content to sell to gullible leftwingers. A fool and his money are soon parted, and Goodman has helped identify a lot of fools to be targeted for future fleecing.

But Goodman will always be a murderer in my eyes, because he killed the myth that to be progressive means that you're educated, rational, and exist in a fact-based universe.

He put all his money down on one number, spun the wheel, and lost. EVERYTHING.

I hear they're hiring at Dairy Queen. He'll have to find some way to make the rent.

He's certainly never going to be regarded as a "credible journalist" ever, EVER again. He wasn't even a good propagandist--his natterings were of Baghdad Bob proportions.
