ON MONDAY NIGHT, Slates Franklin Foer published a story thats been circulating through the dark web and various newsrooms since summertime, an enormous, eyebrow-raising claim that Donald Trump uses a secret server to communicate with Russia. That claim resulted in an explosive night of Twitter confusion and misinformation.
The gist of the Slate article is dramatic incredible, even: Cybersecurity researchers found that the Trump Organization used a secret box configured to communicate exclusively with Alfa Bank, Russias largest privately-held commercial bank. This is a story that any reporter in our election cycle would drool over, and drool Foer did:
The researchers quickly dismissed their initial fear that the logs represented a malware attack. The communication wasnt the work of bots. The irregular pattern of server look-ups actually resembled the pattern of human conversation conversations that began during office hours in New York and continued during office hours in Moscow. It dawned on the researchers that this wasnt an attack, but a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank.

Actually it isn’t....though the comments are
Thanks. This was a good reading and excellent analysis
This article is an excellent example of why people who go beyond the biased sound-bites of the MSM can actually get to the real FACTS behind a story.
I thought that people who believed in conspiracy theories were supposed to be crazy.
Russians spam the US. Trump org like any other business probably received spam phishing emails.
FYI
So what do you disagree with and why
Of what you’ve read point of the article you think is true and why
As a network engineer and computer security person this article to me is the most coherent in laying out the bogus of the whole thing
How did they get all that detailed information if 0bama wasn’t surveilling Trump?
The #FakeNews Corps need to pick a story and try to make it stick. lol
If you go to the article, some of the communications intercepted was advertisments for Trump hotels.
I take it that this is in reference to Bill Clinton's infamous, "It depends on what the definition of 'is' is."
I will defend Bill Clinton, as I have steadfastly done, by pointing out that he was responding to a question of the form, "Is there a relationship ... ?", so probably he just should have said "No." But as his response reveals, there was a relationship at one time, so with this quibble, he was in effect spilling his guts.
