This is a pretty-good read, all-in. ********************* “A speed of 22.7 megabytes is simply unobtainable, especially if we are talking about a transoceanic data transfer,”

President Trump needs to call a News Conference and *FORCE*, with every bit of power available to him, the media to put it on the air during prime time. (the way they routinely did for that stupid ignorant bastard Obama.)

Trump then needs to announce this bit of information to the entire American Public, and then say, "I told you the Media was lying about this."

Game. Set. Match.

No, not really. The date/time stamps that show when the copied files were created would not have been created as the files were copied across the internet - but they could have been created as the files were first copied across the local network in preparation for their exfiltration from the local network.

There are many reasons why a hacker may have copied the files locally first. He may have wished to review them before stealing the "good" ones. He may have copied them from the mail server to a less protected workstation where he had administrative rights before compacting or encrypting the files. He may have moved them into a common directory before running a process on them that would hide them in image or video files (making them easier to exfiltrate.)

Karl is a smart man (even though he does admit to having voted for Barack Obama) so when I notice him failing to mention something as obvious as this I have to wonder why... Then again, when it comes to Market Ticker and Karl Denninger it is always a good idea to keep your eyes open and look for ulterior motives.
