[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I've excerpted this post by Karl on the assumed premise that FR would not permit a link to The Nation. The article in The Nation is fairly long, but the salient parts are brought out and I have also summarized them in this post. The hack of the DNC files was an inside job. There really isn't another plausible explanation. As the transfer was timestamped, in the evening, when even dedicated liberals might have already gone home, in July when HRC was the inevitable candidate, there is every possibility that the person who downloaded the files can/could be narrowed down to 2-3-4 people. This makes the FBI's failure to forensically examine this server even more egregious.

In brief: On the evening of July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded from the DNC’s server. The operation took 87 seconds. This yields a transfer rate of 22.7 megabytes per second. This is known because the file transfer itself is/was timestamped.

This transfer rate is 99.999% impossible over the internet. Yes, such a rate *might* occur between two "single-hop" connected nodes. A normal office PC or server would have trouble with that amount of throughput.

But over a multi-hop connection, which is what the internet is, careful tests have shown that sustained rates over about 15 MB are not possible. Over a multi-hop connection *overseas*....forget it.

OTOH, a 23 MB transfer rate is VERY similar to the rate achievable using a USB thumb drive.

This is a pretty-good read, all-in. ********************* “A speed of 22.7 megabytes is simply unobtainable, especially if we are talking about a transoceanic data transfer,”

President Trump needs to call a News Conference and *FORCE*, with every bit of power available to him, the media to put it on the air during prime time. (the way they routinely did for that stupid ignorant bastard Obama.)

Trump then needs to announce this bit of information to the entire American Public, and then say, "I told you the Media was lying about this."

Game. Set. Match.

There was no hack.

It was a leak, his name was Seth Rich and he was plugged.

al gore invented the internet, but he didn’t make it transmit data fast enough to make the russia-collusion dream a reality. al gore is such a fail, but apple computer sho’ ‘nuf loves him on their board.

This has been anticipated for a long time. Where is the Trump outrage? where is Sessions? Where is Mueller?

Mueller is working with a blank check and doesn’t have to produce any work and/or work product. Sessions refuses to discuss ongoing investigations. That itself is fine. Where are any results? Trump is left on his own. I hope he makes it but the more time passes the less likely. This new report will never be addressed anywhere in the MSM.

During the campaign, we were repeatedly told that “Trump has peaked”. It was wishful thinking by the Left.

During President Trump’s first 6+ months we have been repeatedly told that the current “scandal” (and how many of these silly things have they dreamed up?) would “finish” him. It was wishful thinking by the Left.

They look ridiculous.
Imagine how ridiculous they will look if they try to pull this crap for 8 full years!

Throwing things around in my head.

Let's just guess that the hack was picked up and divided up among several thumb drives...then hand carried to different sites for downloading.

This narrative will only fall apart when the Propaganda Media says it has fallen apart.

And they'll be the last people to admit that.

So "the hack narrative" lives on in the whimsical bubble of the Democrat Media—and in the hearts and minds of those who get their news from it...

[Lady Heron]

The whole group of people and the media pushing this conspiracy need investigating....but that will never happen.

This was an active conspiracy to take down a sitting president because they had a fit on who the people chose.
