... The theory — which has its roots in the emails stolen from his personal account by Russian hackers and dumped online by WikiLeaks ...

Speaking of lies and smears that data breech was too fast to have been downloaded on the Internet. Seth Rich downloading onto a thumb drive is most likely what happened.

Interesting that he is compelled to get ahead of it...I haven’t had much hope lately of the bad guys getting punished, but this gives me a little bit.

Not even close. The allegation is 87 seconds for less than 2GB: https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ In that article they say:

The Key Event

July 5, 2016: In the early evening, Eastern Daylight Time, someone working in the EDT time zone with a computer directly connected to the DNC server or DNC Local Area Network, copied 1,976 MegaBytes of data in 87 seconds onto an external storage device. That speed is much faster than what is physically possible with a hack.

No idea where they got their 87 seconds number. That's slower than a typical internet transfer, server to server, which I tested yesterday and got 70 MB/sec The whole article and organization reads like disinformation. It is certainly possible and more likely than not that the DNC email leak was by insider(s). But the 87 second claim does not prove anything. It shows complete lack of understanding of internet transfer speeds

Speaking of which, pizzagate also looks like a giant disinformation campaign designed, successfully, to paint people as unhinged. It worked perfectly when some idiot went looking for the basement in a building with no basement. Jerks like Podesta are probably bringing up pizzagate again to deflect from the fact that they were let off the hook for FARA violations and tax evasion (especially Podesta's brother) that are being used against Trump allies.

Internet speeds are expressed in MegaBITS per second. There are 8 bits to a byte.

To capture 1,976 bYtes in 87 seconds, the download speed would have to be nearly 200 megaBITS per second.

FIle transfer speeds are in Megabytes per second. Here's the output from my test:

1916MB 72.1MB/s 00:26

No, you are incorrect.

Go do a little Googling about internet speeds and how they are expressed and you’ll find I am correct.

The media plays defense again for democrats. They are not actually investigating. No- that’s for Republicans.

They are only dismissing it out of hand as ‘a theory’.

I remember the night Trump won in 16 and was watching Podesta speaking to the losers at Hillary’s election party ( which she didn’t even have the decentsy to make a concession speech) and he said something to the effect that “ don’t worry folks, we’re gonna fix this situation”. He truly looked like a ghoul. I looked over to my wife and said that these azholes have something devious up their sleeves. Now we’re seeing the poison fruit of their labor.

I did that file transfer yesterday to test the notion that two servers, in two parts of the world, cannot send a 2 GB file in 87 seconds. I sent a 1.9 GB file in 26 seconds. My printout is in GBytes per second.

When a hacker or anyone else is transferring data, they are transferring bytes, not bits. The bits/sec pipe speeds are hidden underneath. The pipes under the ocean being used for this sort of transfer now range up to 160 TBits per second and there are many such pipes. No shortage of bandwidth. Just that one pipe alone is 20,000,00 MBytes / second or about 285,000 times faster than my transfer speed.

In any case, by occam's razor, the best explanation of the DNC email leak is an insider. But the blather in that "Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russia Hack’ Evidence" article is unsupported. It is not "proof" of any sort.

On this, we are in agreement.

the 87sec came from the time stamps on the files transferred from beginning to end of transfer

I watched that video. I’ve never been filled with such rage, horror and disgust before this. The terror in the little boy’s voice broke my heart. Knowing that even worse things were done to him makes me feel so helpless. I can’t wrap my mind around the evil in the hearts and minds of these people.

Title should be, “John Podesta Is Ready to LIE About Pizzagate”. No way in hell he’s going to come clean or throw anyone under the bus; he’s up to his eyeballs in everything the Clintons and their friends have done.

I have no idea as to whether the Pizzagate story is true or not. However, a very good friend of mine who was an FBI agent and former Special Agent in Charge once told me that the American people have no idea of the depth and extent of child sex trafficking in the United States. He went on to tell me that there are child sex trafficking organizations that cater to politicians and the elite in the United States, speculated that Jon Benet Ramsey’s death was tied to one of those organizations and that the Clinton DOJ under Janet Reno - a woman he and the sheriff of Dade County referred to as a “predatory lesbian” - did everything they could to undermine ongoing child sex trafficking investigations.

If you choose to believe this is a “conspiracy theory” and that child sex trafficking is limited to India, Bangladesh, Thailand, the Caribbean, Macau, etc., you’re delusional and probably think none of your fine, upstanding “community leaders” are involved in drug trafficking either.
