DWS, Perkins Coie May Have Engaged CrowdStrike Instead Of FBI Without Consulting DNC Officers

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former head of the Democratic National Committee, did not tell the DNC’s own officers about a breach on its servers for more than a month after learning about it, according to then-DNC officer Donna Brazile.

Wasserman Schultz alerted the officers of the breach only when The Washington Post was about to make the revelations public, Brazile writes in an excerpt of the book Politico ran Thursday. The DNC instead enlisted the law firm of Perkins Coie to make major decisions, including how to handle the breach of its servers that led to an embarrassing email dump.

The timing suggests the DNC’s unusual and significant choice to have the private law firm CrowdStrike conduct the investigation into the breach, rather than turn the evidence over to law enforcement, was made without consulting DNC officers.

“She told [officers] about the hacking only minutes before the Washington Post broke the news,” Brazile wrote.

A June 14, 2016, article by the Post quoted “committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach” and said “DNC leaders were tipped to the hack in late April.”

“Chief executive Amy Dacey got a call from her operations chief saying that their information technology team had noticed some unusual network activity,” WaPo reported. Dacey enlisted a lawyer from Perkins Coie, who “called in” the private security firm CrowdStrike “to handle the DNC breach.”

Perkins Coie is the same law firm that paid for the Trump dossier using the DNC’s funds. DNC officials including Wasserman Schultz claim they had no idea that their organization had indirectly funded the infamous document.

That too.

Juan made a good point.
....The significant thing is an insider is willing to come out and tell all against the Clinton machine. ...

Once again, the only credible explanation for what happened to the DNC data is it was leaked, not hacked. The Russians had nothing to do with a series of leaks of information that could only jeopardize the election hopes of their collaborator and wannabe Benedict Arnold, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

They had no idea because Hillary/Podesta were in control and did all the dirty tricks. Time for more to come forward

She’s already talked. She was smart to so. When the noose starts to tighten is when Arkancide is a strong possibility.

Pleading ignorance... the standard fallback position of the political party that believes its base is made up of “intellectuals.”

[hoosiermama]

There is a great deal of security in coming out and telling your side of the story with every document available to support it

Really? The first place you call is a law firm?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

P.C. was the main firm for the (Obama) WH and DNC from what I understand.

[SE Mom]

It’s unbelievable to me that she’s done this. I’m really shocked. Not that Clinton was (is) the DNC, $$$ and all, but that anyone has the courage to investigate thoroughly, discover what she did, and then TELL the party and the country.

I admire what she’s done. May God keep her safe.

Who killed Seth Rich?

[rod1]

One thing the Brazile revelation seems to makes clear, Seth Rich’s murder required the approval of Podesta and/or Clinton. No one else around the DNC had any authority to do anything on their own.

Which raises suspicions that Perkins Coie was directly involved. Perkins Coie was the firm behind all of the lawsuits against Sarah Palin.

[stylin19a]

that's the general consensus...Seth Rich transfered - not hacked - data from the DNC.

[bitt]

I’ll take Seth Rich for $1000....

[grey_whiskers]

can the dots extend to the awans ?

I don't think so. They're Pakistani, not Indian. /rim shot>

[little jeremiah]

Things are moving quite fast.

[petitfour]

It isn’t hacking when an insider downloads and distributes. Or am I wrong?

[petitfour]

When did Seth rich die?
