The FBI said the DNC servers/computers were definitely hacked by Russians.

That is an amazing conclusion since they did not have access to the computers and simply took the DNC at their word.

I work in cyber consulting. The whole thing is laughable/unprofessional.

Damn there certainly are a lot of people in the top 1% of the FBI.

Maybe the DNC is accusing Seth Rich of being a Russian agent?

We know for a fact that the DNC server leak was an inside job (and many of us have known this for years). The closely-spaced file creation times show that the leak was to a thumb drive at the servers and not through an online hack. The FBI is, again, lying to the American people. Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and the rest of the Deep State traitors disgust me. Anyone involved with this ongoing attempt to overthrow the duly-elected President of the Untied States should be tried for treason and should never walk free again.

Right. They weren’t hacked. They files were downloaded directly from the server.

According to the congressional testimony of the DNC IT Director Andrew Brown, as far as he knows, that was a false story.

Q Now, did the FBI ever receive access to DNC servers to do their own exploitation?

A Yeah. So at every step of the way we fully cooperated with everything the FBI requested of us.
And to my knowledge, everything that the FBI requested they received.
Once -- you know, with the expertise and the background and experience that CrowdStrike had, they became the main point of contact in dealing with the FBI on behalf of the DNC.
So requests that the FBI would have while they were doing their investigation, they would give to CrowdStrike, and we always said, yes, please do that.

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.

starting at page 35, they get into Seth Rich...Brown says he knew Seth well...
