Hacked computer server that handled DNC email remains out of reach of Russia investigators
Washington Times ^

Posted on 07/05/2017 8:53:47 PM PDT by bryan999

It is perhaps the key piece of forensic evidence in Russia’s suspected efforts to sway the November presidential election, but federal investigators have yet to get their hands on the hacked computer server that handled email from the Democratic National Committee.

Indeed, the only cybersecurity specialists who have taken a look at the server are from CrowdStrike, the Irvine, California-based private cybersecurity company that the DNC hired to investigate the hack — but which has come under fire itself for its work.

Some critics say CrowdStrike’s evidence for blaming Russia for the hack is thin. Members of Congress say they still believe Russia was responsible but wonder why the DNC has never allowed federal investigators to get a look at the key piece of evidence: the server. Either way, a key “witness” in the political scandal consuming the Trump administration remains beyond the reach of investigators.

This is a great article.

Not only didn’t “17 agencies” investigate the case, the three that supposedly did never looked at the DNC server.

And still haven’t.

No evidence, no case. This should have been over long ago. Were the MSM not so intent on spinning lies to undermine a President they detest, it would have been.

How convenient the DNC servers will not be investigated.
It might just show Seth Rich was the leaker.

Does this mean Trump and others don’t have to co-operate either?

It’s really hard to find a hacker when the problem is a leaker.

The RATS can't let any competent investigator examine records because there was NO HACK. Seth Rich gave all the emails to WikiLeaks and he was killed for that action.

The average American is waiting for the presstitutes to tell them the truth instead of looking at the facts and reaching a reasonable conclusion.

The RATS are now caught in a trap that they themselves sprung.

This whole case of a Russian impact on poor Hillary’s election is increasingly turning into ashes, based on thin air and a hoax of opinion, from the beginning.

They are losing it.

Is the server still up?

If so I wonder if someone at 4chan can access it?

Who knows?

The article said the DNC wouldn’t even tell the Wash. Times where the server is now.

That DNC server is at the bottom of the Atlantic, IMHO.

Either way, the Russian collusion story is rapidly collapsing.

Can it be used as evidence and placed under 5th amendment protection? DNC shouldn’t quality as classified so why wasn’t there a warrant and agents kicking in a door? Even now? I think they have gotten away with it.

Pivotal to this story is that the Russians gave Wikileaks the DNC/Podesta emails, but Wikileaks founder Julian Assuage, love him or hate him, he has never lied and has denied this. Clapper and his crew is another story, however.

None of the intel agencies ever actually examined the DNC server, but a DNC connected security firm Crowd Strike did.

For sure Russia did try to influence the election but there is a good chance Russia DID try to influence the election but they did so to help HILLARY get elected, not Trump.

The people whom you have evidence of illegality on are the ones that you TRY to get elected. For example, China-Clinton. The Trump-Russian narrative doesn’t support this.

None of the deleted or damaging Hillary emails besides DNC or Podesta ones have surfaced suggesting people that have them like the FBI or enemies want to leverage them.

Didn’t she delete over 30,000 of them? I am going out on a limb her but I think Russia HAS these deleted emails. If they were trying to damage her, why didn’t they leak them?

But think of other Russian interests.

They would like us to remove tactical nukes from Europe.

They would like us to let the military deteriorate.

They would like us to NOT develop our energy resources. A drop in oil price would have a massive impact on Russia economically.

They would not want us to build up our military intelligence.

They would not want us to develop our military technology.

They would not want us to be secure from terrorist attacks.

On each and every one of these issues, the candidate the Russians would NOT want to get elected would be Donald Trump.

I think most people who believe this story was falsified by a politicized intel community instinctively know this, but I think it is worthwhile to state it unequivocally.

Also, who do you think Russia thought would GET elected?

Almost all news including Fox thought Hillary had an 85% or higher chance. Putin doesn’t have his own people taking polls so he relies on ours.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to get the goods on her and wait until she is elected before rocking the boat?

You know, if they weren’t lying out their asses (and probably covering up Arkancide) all they would have to do to demonstrate who hacked their computer was to let it be properly examined. Or so I’ve heard claimed when looking for traces that hackers leave.

It’s the seriousness of the charges all over again.

It fell overboard above the Atlantic abyssal plain in a freak squall. Obviously.

Add that 100 million in venture capital at crowdstrike since that. Love to know where that came from.
