Barky pulled the strings, play by play. Right down to the Press Conference of exoneration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to Henry (President of Crowdstrike), the FBI has a complete "Image" of the DNC servers. (Think "MIRROR" Image). So Comey was LYING When he said they had to rely on Crowdstrike.

Possession of the server HARDWARE is practically irrelevant.

Not only that, but the FBI told the DNC (called their "Helpdesk") there were "Dukes" in the system ... a term of art for a particular flavor of Russian hacker. THEY TOLD THIS TO A LOW-LEVEL CONTRACTOR. Yeah, right.

This also shows the FBI was LYING when they claimed to have not done analysis ... unless the DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS A LIE. (Incidentally, the "Contractor" was unable to verify, using security software, that they had any problem.)

CLEARLY, the FBI was setting the whole thing up ... including creation of a "Trail" showing they tried to alert the DNC.

This all STARTED in about JULY of 2015 ... shortly after Trump announced, but LONG BEFORE it became clear he would be the nominee.

Sooooo ... OBAMA PLANNED TO USE THE RUSSIA HOAX AGAINST ANY REPUBLICAN, not just Trump.

corroborated by ANDREW BROWN's testimony. Brown was the IT Director for the DNC.

Q But do you know, or does the DNC now know if the FBI ever had access to the infrastructure to do their own analysis?

A It's my understanding that, yes. So the servers that were compromised in this attack were imaged. So what that means is most of these servers were not like a physical box --

Q Sure.

A -- running an OS. They were a box that had multiple servers running on them in a virtual environment. So the images of those virtual servers, as well as the physical servers, were taken.

And that is an important distinction because that means that not only were the -- it means that the running state of the server was captured, so not only the information that was on the hard drive and maybe logs that existed but the actual working memory of that server was captured. Those server images were, as far as I know, turned over by CrowdStrike to the FBI, so the FBI could investigate them.
...
Q I want to ask about the server or the servers at the DNC, and you talked with my colleagues a little bit about that. I just want to clarify, were the actual physical servers turned over to the FBI?

A So images of those servers. So the physical hardware itself was not removed from the premise, but a virtual image of the running servers were taken and turned over. And that was the level of detail, which, again, is greater than what could -- if the servers were turned over, they would have to be unplugged and turned over, and there would be information that was lost when those servers were taken offline.

So based on the recommendation and request of CrowdStrike to create images of those running servers that would contain not only the information stored on disk, but the working information stored in the memory of the computer; that was what CrowdStrike requested for the purpose of their investigation, and is what I believe that they passed along to the FBI for the FBI to conduct its own investigation.
Q That's what I thought. I wasn't sure from your conversation earlier. But the former Director of the FBI, James Comey, actually testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this year and said that while the FBI did not have access to the servers themselves, they were able to obtain the relevant information they needed to understand the intrusion and that they had obtained that from CrowdStrike.

A Yeah.

Q So that was my initial -- A And at every point we fully cooperated with all of the requests that the FBI made. I'm not aware of any request that the FBI made of the DNC for access or information that was not complied with.


Comey should be the first indictment.
