So why is there a question about whether or not Clinton's server was hacked?

Clinton Hacker Extradited to U.S.

Romanian hacker Marcel Lazăr Lehel -- better known as Guccifer -- is being extradited to the United States, say news reports.

The hacker has scored many notable victims in recent years, including Hillary Clinton shadow adviser Sid Blumenthal.
Guccifer once bragged to PANDO that "I used to read [Clinton's] memos... and then do the gardening."

As the Daily Caller has previously reported, Guccifer's hacking has played a role in the Clinton email scandal:

Sidney Blumenthal emailed Hillary Clinton at least two intelligence reports about Libya which were not included in the trove of 296 emails released by the State Department on Friday.

Clinton has claimed that in December she turned over all official government emails she sent or received from her personal account while in office. In turn, the agency has claimed it turned all Clinton emails related to Libya or Benghazi over to the House Select Committee investigating the Benghazi attack.

But a screenshot of Blumenthal's email inbox, which the Romanian hacker Guccifer published in March 2013, shows two reports about Libya emailed to Clinton which were not released in Friday's batch.

It's not known whether Guccifer's extradition is in any way connected to the investigation into Clinton's private email server.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has come under fire for using a private server to send and receive official emails during her tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat. There have been no reports to date, however, that Clinton’s account was hacked.


More than 30,000 emails sent from Hillary Clinton’s private server have been put up for sale, a new bombshell report claims.

RadarOnline.com reported Thursday that a “a person claiming to be a computer specialist” is asking for $500,000 for 32,000 emails from the former secretary of state’s private server.

“Hillary or someone from her camp erased the outbox containing her emails, but forgot to erase the emails that were in her sent box,” a source told the entertainment and gossip website.

The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Clinton has come under fire for using a private server to send and receive official emails during her tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat.

The 2016 Democratic front-runner has repeatedly claimed she never sent or received any classified material on the private server. She has said that she deleted thousands of non-work-related emails from the account.

The State Department is examining the remaining emails and releasing them to the public in small troves.
For the emails to be up for sale on the black market, a hacker would have, presumably, had to have extracted them at some point from Clinton’s account or from the account of someone Clinton had emailed with.

To date, there have been no reports that Clinton’s account was hacked.

The email account of Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant to former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, was hacked in 2013.


However, in 2013, a Romanian hacker known on the Internet as “Guccifer” leaked confidential memos written for Clinton by former aide and confidante Sidney Blumenthal.

“Guccifer,” whose real name is Marcel Lazar Lehel, allegedly hacked into Blumenthal’s AOL email account and leaked several messages to a variety of recipients, including gossip sites Gawker and The Smoking Gun.

The hacker reportedly accessed Blumenthal’s correspondence with Clinton dating to 2005, including sensitive foreign policy and intelligence memos shared while Clinton was secretary of state.
