It has to be squashed. It not only obliterates the “hacking” theory, it kills the Russian connection at the same time. The IG report says the foreign destination is NOT Russia.

Just wonder if President Trump and President Putin will talk about the farce in summit.

"Just wonder if President Trump and President Putin will talk about the farce in summit."

They might both laugh about this feeble attempt to distract attention from the STRUCK OUT interview and Louie Gohmert's great line of questions ?

This whole indictments song and dance is pitiful. So they have indicted:

--25 Russian internet trolls who will never see the inside of a court room,

---3 Russian owned businesses in the US, one of which didn't yet EXIST at the time they are alleged to have committed a crime, a second which is making the Mule Team look foolish in court with their flat-footed attempts to actually prosecute someone.

----2 Trump associates, not for any campaign related activity but for the FBI pet charge...saying something alleged to be untrue to a Federal law enforcement officer under oath.

----1 Trump associate for a dozen year old set of financial dealings, none of them dealing with Trump, which other Federal prosecutors had already given a pass.

The one time STRUCK OUT wasn't lying through is teeth is when he said: "...there is no there THERE"!

Is sad that AP has refused to print the truth. Clinton staffers gave Russia so much more than emails for which Russia would help hitlery win or rather be announced as having won no matter what the votes were. Some call it treason but then Obama’s treason is placed on full display also ... So blame Trump is the media’s new game to protect hitlery / obama

You are correct! No FBI analysis. The DoJ is completely relying on Crowdstrike, hired by the DNC.

This is a hit job and setup, for some purpose against the Putin meeting, deflection, stall tactics, and midterms - then a phony impeachment attempt. Expect worse as we get closer to Nov.

” ... by some small piece of code running on her server that somehow inserted this rogue name into many/all/most of her outgoing mass emails.”


They are called Rules. At least on Mac’s Mail ... you just make a Rule and it is applied to all pertinent and subsequent emails - incoming/out going.

And the FBI never even examined the DNC server. Ever. In fact, they didn't even ask to see it. Sociopath Peter Strozk "interviewed" Hillary without putting her under oath, gave immunity to her co-conspirators under the auspices of them being her "lawyers", and then never even seized (let alone examined) the server. So how does the FBI know the forensics of this "hack?" They don't, because it is all a Soviet-style hit job.

I see that now. When I first posted the story there was no author or date listed which I thought strange but the sidebar had the link to the story as posted under an hour prior and so finding no author at the top I used the names listed at the end.

LOL! Exactly, “Yes sir Mr. Trump! Right away Mr. Trump! Vlad really appreciates the condo with the gaudy gold decorations you got for him and hereby relinquishes control of his intelligence agencies to you!!”

You know months ago I posted a comment on Freep that Strzok came across to me as gay because only gay men seemed to have that level of Trump hate and that mommy fixation on Hillary, that level of worship to the point where the would risk their careers.

Well lo and behold, I saw that video yesterday of Strzok with the homo mincing mannerisms, I was right! He’s a kuh-weer boy. He’s either bisexual or his wife and the girlfriend are just that- friends, beards. I am betting anything gay male loversof this guy could be found, just totally expose him as the fraud he is.

Manner and Means of the Conspiracy
Spearphishing Operations

21. ANTONOV, BADIN, YERMAKOV, LUKASHEV, and their co-conspirators targeted victims using a technique known as spearphishing to steal victims’ passwords or otherwise gain access to their computers. Beginning by at least March 2016, the Conspirators targeted over 300 individuals affiliated with the Clinton Campaign, DCCC, and DNC.

a. For example, on or about March 19, 2016, LUKASHEV and his co-conspirators created and sent a spearphishing email to the chairman of the Clinton Campaign. LUKASHEV used the account “john356gh” at an online service that abbreviated lengthy website addresses (referred to as a “URL-shortening service”). LUKASHEV used the account to mask a link contained in the spearphishing email, which directed the recipient to a GRU-created website. LUKASHEV altered the appearance of the sender email address in order to make it look like the email was a security notification from Google (a technique known as “spoofing”), instructing the user to change his password by clicking the embedded link. Those instructions were followed. On or about March 21, 2016, LUKASHEV , YERMAKOV , and their co-conspirators stole the contents of the chairman’s email account, which consisted of over 50,000 emails.

I read about half of the indictment. My key take-aways:
* Democrats are incredibly naive and downright stupid about fundamental information security. The perps used the most basic spearphishing techniques to gain initial access. Weren't these people taught ANYTHING about security? (already known to the public)
* Democrats didn't bring the FBI in; rather they hired their own forensic IT firm. Why? (already known to the public)
* This is classic spy tradecraft and a national security issue. Since when do we indict spies? The only reason to indict spies to further bolster the preposterous claim that Trump was behind all of this.

Trump said this AFTER the Dems said the data was hacked. Nice job compressing the timeline for effect AP.

Sort of like forgetting the word “illegal” when talking about illegal immigrants.

In Helsinki, Putin will have a folder. He will claim it is a dossier of charges against various American Officers for cyber espionage.

He will then offer the deal. You forget your indictments and i will forget mine

I did not know that Trump had that much control over Russia that he could order Putin to hack the DNC.The AP is no better than CNN. Do teh Ap, CNN, MSNBC, Wire Reports get together each morning to go over the talking points for the day?
