A Russian hacker accused of stealing from Russian banks reportedly confessed in court that he hacked the U.S. Democratic National Committee (DNC) and stole Hillary Clinton's emails under the direction of agents from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).
According to Russian news site The Bell, Konstantin Kozlovsky, a Russian citizen working for a hacker group called Lurk, confessed to hacking Clinton's emails during a hearing about his arrest in August. An audio recording and minutes from the hearing were posted on Kozlovsky's Facebook page, and their authenticity was reportedly confirmed by The Bell.
In a handwritten letter that also appears in a photo on his Facebook page, Kozlovsky admits to hacking the DNC on the orders of an FSB agent he called "Ilya."

Can we please talk about what was in those e-mails? Can we discuss the meetings held in private with GS and other global investment banks? Can we discuss the inner workings of the DNC, and how it selected their nominee? Who and how the information was leaked is a distraction. We have real, documented insight into how we are governed and by who. Let's talk about that. When we are finished, let's pin medals on those who braved quite possibly being murdered to bring us this information.
