Hacker Claims to Have Trove of Hillary Clinton’s Unreleased Private Emails That Would Kill Her Presidential Bid If They ‘Got Out’

A self-proclaimed hacker is looking to sell an unreleased trove of Hillary Clinton’s private emails for $500,000, according to RadarOnline.
The anonymous “computer specialist” claims to be in possession of 32,000 emails from Clinton’s private server that were retrieved because, according to the site’s source, “Hillary or someone from her camp erased the outbox containing her emails, but forgot to erase the emails that were in her sent box.”
Clinton’s attorneys recently admitted the former secretary of state had her hard drive wiped clean before turning it over to the FBI. Accordingly, the claim that she merely forgot to delete sent emails should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The so-called “insider” alleged the emails could be extremely damaging to Clinton if they were released to the public.
“If these emails get out to the public domain, not only is Hillary finished as a potential Presidential nominee, she could put our country’s national security at risk,” the person said.
RadarOnline posted several of the “subject lines” of the alleged emails, which make references to Libya:
“H Libya security latest. Sid” (with attachment) “H FYI, best analysis so far of hearing Sid,’ about the latest security in Libya” “H Algeria latest French Intel on Algeria hostage Sid” “H Latest French Intel in Algeria hostage Sid” (with attachment) “H Latest Libya intel internal govt discussions high level” (with attachment) “H HIGHLY IMPORTANT! Comprehensive Intel Report on (with attachment)”
It is important to note that these claims cannot be independently verified.
