-- People are wondering how + why Trump's tweet timestamp was WAY off --

LOL. The displayed timestamp can be changed at will, just change the timezone your computer is set to.

Not the timezone - the TIME - the tweet appeared about 10 minutes before its timestamp (?!?!?>

Here's DOJ: DEPUTY A.G. ROSENSTEIN: GOOD MORNING. FOR MANY DECADES, THE UNITED STATES HAS LED THE WORLD IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT. HOSTILE INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND NATION STATES HAVE TAKEN NOTE OF OUR SUCCESS. THE INCREASE IN THE ATTEMPT TO PROFIT FROM AMERICANS INGENUITY BY INFILTRATING OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS, STEALING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ABATING CONTROLS ON EXPORTS. WHEN HACKERS GAIN UNLAWFUL ACCESS TO COMPUTERS, IT CAN TAKE THEM ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO STEAL DISCOVERIES THAT WERE PRODUCED BY MANY YEARS OF WORK IN MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT. THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY DOES NOT JUST CAUSE ECONOMIC HARM. IT ALSO THREATENS AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY. IDENTIFYING AND PROSECUTING COMPUTER HACKERS IS A TOP PRIORITY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WE ARE HERE TODAY TO ANNOUNCE THAT A FEDERAL GRAND JURY IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK INDICTED NINE IRANIANS FOR CONSPIRING TO HACK INTO COMPUTERS AND ATTEMPTING TO DEFRAUD AMERICAN AND FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES, BUSINESSES, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. I WANT TO CAUTION YOU THAT AN INDICTMENT IS NOT IF FINDING OF GUILT. IN THE AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM, DEFENDANTS ARE ASSUMED INNOCENT UNLESS AND UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN COURT. THE INDICTMENT ALLEGES THE DEFENDANTS WORKED ON BEHALF OF THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT, SPECIFICALLY THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS. THEY HAVE TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS OF APPROXIMATELY 120 UNIVERSITIES -- PARDON ME, APPROXIMATELY 320 UNIVERSITIES IN 22 COUNTRIES. 144 OF THE UNIVERSITY VICTIMS ARE AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES. THE DEFENDANTS STOLE RESEARCH THAT COST THOSE UNIVERSITIES FOUR POINT $2 BILLION TO PROCURE AND MAINTAIN. THAT INFORMATION WAS USED BY THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARD OR SOLD FOR PROFIT IN IRAN. THE DEFENDANTS WORKED FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT TWO OF THE DEFENDANTS FOUNDED FOR THE STATED PURPOSE OF HELPING IRANIAN DIVERSITIES ACCESS SCIENTIFIC -- UNIVERSITIES ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THE WORK CONSISTED OF STEALING RESEARCH THROUGH ILLEGAL COMPUTER INTRUSIONS. THE INDICTMENT CHARGES NINE DEFENDANTS FOR COMMITTING SEVEN FEDERAL FRONT -- CRIMES THAT INCLUDE COMPUTER FRAUD, WIRE FRAUD, CONSPIRACY, AND IDENTITY THEFT.

I had a FR post, last week, that had an later time stamp than the two posts AFTER mine. How does THAT happen? I even checked it, a while later, and it still showed same, for those posts.

I thought the tweet was new when I saw, it was about 10 minutes before the post time - however some people are saying 40 minutes off?
