Full Title: Sources: FBI investigation continues into 'odd' computer link between Russian bank and Trump Organization

(CNN)Federal investigators and computer scientists continue to examine whether there was a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, sources close to the investigation tell CNN. Questions about the possible connection were widely dismissed four months ago. But the FBI's investigation remains open, the sources said, and is in the hands of the FBI's counterintelligence team -- the same one looking into Russia's suspected interference in the 2016 election.

One U.S. official said investigators find the server relationship "odd" and are not ignoring it. But the official said there is still more work for the FBI to do. Investigators have not yet determined whether a connection would be significant.

It’s not imaginary.

The bank is asking for help from the DOB because they have noticed it again.

I think it was a setup to justify a warrant.

That’s what I have been thinking all along frankly. This “Tea Leaves” character seems awfully suspicious.

Fake news may be a gross understatement of the facts.

Or to justify surveillance.

Isn’t it odd how the MSM is having the vapors that Spicer mentioned the Judge Napolitano story alleging the GCHQ was Obama’s backdoor surveillance when we know that the fake dossier was cooked up by a retired Brit spook.

If I were a "journalist" I would ask some of the following questions:

1. How many servers are in the tower?
2. Do residents of the tower own any computers in their residences?
3. Do businesses in the tower have computers to process credit card purchases, deal with payroll/scheduling, etc.?
4. Does the tower provide internet to the residents/tenants?
5. Are there servers that provide wireless internet in the hotel part and/or lobby/common areas?
6. What server(s) did the Trump campaign use for campaign business? Are those servers in the tower or somewhere else?
7. Has the Secret Service looked at any servers/computers in the building that have anything to do with the president?
8. Has the Secret Service looked at any routers, firewalls or other equipment that may service the building, it's management, it's businesses or its residents?

And yet we know from Vault 7 they have tools to hack someone’s system and leave Russian or Chinese fingerprints on it.
So the feds could have spied on Trump per Obama’s orders, made it look like Russia did it in case discovered, and are now investigating the “hack” or Russian involvement they likely created in the first place.

Another curios thing about Steele. It has been widely reported he was hired by “Trump political opponents”. But none of the reporting I’ve seen has said just who exactly was it that hired him. I want names!

I dont trust anyone..they are all a bunch of liars.

Frankly, I think Pence is a slicker more mannered genteel version of Daddy Bush vs. Reagan in that he is opposed to Trump in many ways. More in line with Ryan. He is sitting quietly just waiting for his time.

This whole thing is complete nonsense to Anyone who reads the details. It was most likely marketing spam and they don’t know if one computer even ever sent the other a single email of any kind. Seems to me they can easily obtain the records of any such Communications.

Well this article is saying is they got someone at the FBI to tell them that they never completed this supposed investigation. Therefore, it is technically open. It also amounts to nothing and is based on nothing more than internet computer noise.

The only reason this investigation is being marked open, it is a cover for the surveillance they did looking into a non-existent Russian connection. They don’t want to stamp it closed because it was used as their excuse for campaign and pre inauguration surveillance.
