http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/346468-why-the-latest-theory-about-the-dnc-not-being-a-hack-is-probably-wrong I'd also add that no actual expert would rely on just the MAC times of a series of files to draw any sort of major conclusions without having access to the original file system(s). Especially when you knew the files were copied/transferred an unknown number of times by an unknown number of entities prior to being released. I'd trust the MAC times even less if I knew one of the groups that had touched the files was APT 29. |

What we can be certain of is that hideous DWS did not even notify anyone of the alleged "hack" for an inordinate amount of time.
What we are certain of is that our magnificent FBI was never allowed to examine the servers that were allegedly "hacked". What we are also certain of is that this dubious "Crowd Strike" organization was founded by, and is headed by, an anti Putin Russian. Quite a series of "coincidences". |

"What I believe is that we have to get to work," Trump said. "And I think everybody understood this that heard the answer. We have to get to work to solve Syria, to solve North Korea, to solve Ukraine, to solve terrorism," he added.

The server itself wouldn't be the best source for understanding what data was exfiltrated by whom. The fact that a national organization like the DNC was successfully attacked by any number of named threat sets isn't a surprise with the clowns they had running the place. The fact that they had been owned by someone likely to be a nation state actor however doesn't necessarily mean that they were the ones that exfiltrated the data, it's then another leap to declare that they were also the ones that released it.

You two should worry more about the domestic democrat problems. Russia is the least of your worries. Seriously |

In the Presidential Debate in 2012, Barack Obama told Mitt Romney Russia wasn't a threat, and the 1980s wanted their foreign policy back.
Oh, how the media and liberals laughed and praised Obama for his witty retort, while calling Romney a buffoon. Russia is no threat, we "Reset" our relationship! Was Obama so stupid and unfit for office, that he had no idea Russia WAS a threat, and would go on to totally destroy our democrstic process and expose the Dems for the crooks they are? Or did he knowingly and willfully lie in order to win that debate, and get back on top of the polls? So, is Russia a threat to America, or is it not? Maybe Obama was just "misinformed", or maybe he should have went to his security briefings more often. And maybe this whole "Muh Russia" is just butthurt bullshit. |

It looks like Mueller and his gang are slowly pressing on with their investigation into both Flynn and Manafort as seen below. I figured it would be easier to dump updates into one thread so that anyone worried about "NeverTrumpers" that "troll" other threads can simply avoid this one. http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/348046-mueller-subpoenas-six-manafort-linked-pr-firms-report Special counsel Robert Mueller has issued grand jury subpoenas for public relations firms that worked on an international campaign organized by former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, according to NBC News.
The move is the first public indication that Mueller’s team is beginning to compel testimony from witnesses — and suggests that Manafort may be in serious legal peril. The six firms participated in a public relations effort headed by Manafort, whose ostensible mission was building support for Ukraine’s entry into the European Union, one executive whose firm received a subpoena told NBC News. http://www.businessinsider.com/mueller-subpoenas-firms-who-worked-with-flynn-manafort-consulting-groups-2017-8 Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has subpoenaed a number of Washington lobbying firms as part of its investigation into whether President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the 2016 election in his favor, The Washington Post reported on Friday.
The firms that were subpoenaed have been associated with consulting firms led by former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. Both Flynn and Manafort are being scrutinized as part of the Russia investigation. Manafort left the Trump campaign last August, and Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser in February, when it emerged that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Sergey Kislyak, the former Russian ambassador to the US. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/politics/trump-tower-putin-felix-sater.html A business associate of President Trump promised in 2015 to engineer a real estate deal with the aid of the president of Russia, Vladimir V. Putin, that he said would help Mr. Trump win the presidency.
The business associate, Felix Sater, wrote a series of emails to Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, in which he boasted about his ties to Mr. Putin and predicted that building a Trump Tower in Moscow would be a political boon to Mr. Trump’s candidacy. “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Mr. Sater wrote in an email. “I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.” The emails show that, from the earliest months of Mr. Trump’s campaign, some of his associates viewed close ties with Moscow as a political advantage. Those ties are now under investigation by the Justice Department and multiple congressional committees. In other words, and to paraphrase Monty Python: "Not dead yet!" |
