Gubarev Lawsuit will Expose Mueller Witch-Hunt

In this case, Gubarev has the DNC cornered up in a dead-end street, with no way out. At this point, the DNC probably needs to lay some money on the table and try to convince Gubarev to halt the case. He has no interest, and he’s got tons of money to continue the case. I think he’ll only stop if they lay a hundred-million on the table and admit they really screwed up badly. They don’t have that kind of money...nor can they admit this in public.

My bet is that the case finally concludes in spring 2019...no settlement...judge awards the win to Gubarev and there’s some twenty to forty million dollar win here, and strong comments over DNC fraud. It’ll harm the 2020 election, and the ability of the Party to get donations.

HAHAHAAH!!! And CROWDSTRIKE was started by a RUSSIAN!!

It does not matter that the facts, its the seriousness of the charge. Collusion will stand until, either the Democrats fail to regain the House and Senate in November, or gaining both, impeach convict and remove DJT.

Thanks for posting this. Nicely detailed article of what is a very convoluted and intricate story.

Is Gubarev in this photo of Obama with silicon tech giants helping him set up his police state data base of Americans?

Russian tech expert named in Trump report says US intelligence never contacted him
BY KEVIN G. HALL AND TIM JOHNSON / McClatchy Washington Bureau / Jan 11, 2017

WASHINGTON A Russian venture capitalist and tech expert whose name and company are mentioned in the now-notorious document alleging connections between the Donald Trump campaign and Russian hackers says no intelligence officers have ever contacted him about the accusations, which he says are false.

A report compiled by a former Western intelligence official as opposition research against Trump was made public Tuesday when BuzzFeed posted its 35 pages. The document included unsubstantiated claims of collusion between the Trump campaign team and the Kremlin.

Trump addressed his relationship with Russia and how he will handle his business once taking office. By McClatchy Today's top news by email It also alleged that global tech firm XBT Holding, with operations in Dallas, was instrumental in the hack of leaked Democratic Party emails that embarrassed Hillary Clinton and fellow Democrats.

XBT, owner of Dallas-based enterprise-hosting company Webzilla, is run by a successful Russian tech startup expert, Aleksej Gubarev. In a phone interview from Cyprus, where he said he’d lived since 2002, Gubarev said he was surprised to see his name in the report.---snip--

"It does not matter that the facts, its the seriousness of the charge."

The "show me the man and I will find you the crime" principle is alive and well under the auspices of Herr Mueller. Despite what appears to be skulduggery by the DNC , the President is still in peril of impeachment, a proceeding that does not necessarily conform to the rules of criminal justice.

This guy needs to be careful, he might commit suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head twice.

Russian Tech firm named in Trump dossier was target of anti-piracy advocates
BY KEVIN G. HALL / mcclatchydc.com / November 15, 2017 03:11 PM

The dossier that has fueled investigations into Russian connections to Donald Trump’s team got a lot right. Indeed, congressional probes and the first guilty plea in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation have shown the document’s suggestions that the Kremlin sought for years to cultivate Trump, that it cozied up to key Trump campaign officials, that it worked to sow division in the U.S. electorate and that the campaign had contacts with Wikileaks have all been on target. Yet among the 35-page dossier’s claims stands one – on the very last page – that is still vexing investigators. It’s the accusation that a company called XBT and its U.S. subsidiary Webzilla hacked the emails of Democratic Party leaders.

“[O]ver the period March-September 2016 a company called XBT/Webzilla and its affiliates had been using botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct ‘altering operations’” against them, according to the dossier, which was prepared by a former British spy who specialized in Russia. XBT and web-hosting company Webzilla, while not well known to the American public, have long been the targets of lawyers who fight Internet piracy. They have claimed, in several lawsuits and submissions to regulators, that Webzilla looks the other way while its customers flagrantly steal copyrighted materials.

None of the lawsuits involve the very specific actions described in the dossier, which was published by Buzzfeed on Jan. 10; XBT has brought defamation suits against the online news site and the document’s author, Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent. McClatchy consulted a wide range of experts and reviewed more than 1,000 pages of court documents, U.S. Copyright Office filings and corporate registry documents in Cyprus, Singapore, Florida and the United Kingdom to learn more about XBT. That review yields a profile of a company and, specifically, two corporate employees whose legal entanglements underscore just how difficult it will be for investigators to dismiss the dossier’s claims.

Indeed, Webzilla employees were linked through litigation and regulatory filings to two companies accused of large-scale copyright violations involving Hollywood movies and subscription pornography. Pirated pornography is often baited with malware that can affect users’ computers in various ways. “It’s not shocking that Webzilla was listed as a hub for questionable activity. Webzilla is on my radar weekly due to its client base facilitating online piracy on a massive scale,” said Jason Tucker, president of Battleship Stance, a company that manages and investigates copyright infringement for film studios.

Unraveling a Mystery---- XBT is based in Luxembourg but run out of Cyprus, and has seven subsidiaries, including Webzilla. Among the allegations against Webzilla: The International Intellectual Property Association, in a Feb. 9 letter this year to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, complained that Webzilla, as an Internet Service Provider, “serviced and administered” in Cyprus a company called 4shared.com. That’s a file-sharing website that the trade association said draws more requests to remove specific website addresses from search engines than any other in the world. Gurvits insisted that XBT and its subsidiaries had no control of nor access to the website or its data.

Similarly, in joint comments to the U.S. Copyright Office in 2015, 18 music-industry associations complained that Webzilla and an unrelated company routinely fail to take down copyrighted content “despite receiving thousands of notices of infringement.” XBT counters these complaints are misguided, saying Webzilla hosts websites much like AT&T offers customers its telephone network but has no control over the content of calls. “The short answer to it is we have no duty to know,” Valentin Gurvits, XBT’s attorney, with the Boston Legal Group, said in an interview. He added that “100 percent, across the board, I have successfully defended Webzilla against these allegations.”

XBT and its main shareholder have repeatedly offered to open logbooks and take questions from the FBI or U.S. law enforcement but nobody has taken them up on the offer, Gurvits said Thursday. He also branded as frivolous the past lawsuits against XBT and Webzilla.--snip--

My fear is that too many Republicans, Freepers, conservatives will stay home in the fall to teach the party a lesson, combined with the Independent vote which may easily be swayed for Democrats, given the incessant mantra of charges against DJT. As a result all my worst nightmares can come to pass.

“When Peter Strzok’s FBI superiors wanted to know “which one” leaked to BuzzFeed, he told them it had to come from John McCain. “The set is only identical to what McCain had. (it has differences from what was given to us by Corn and Simpson),” Strzok wrote in a recently surfaced email.

Alexej Gubarev should depose Ali Watkins and James Wolfe about how the dossier came to BuzzFeed, which employed Watkins at the time they published the dossier.

McCain was emeritus chair of the SSCI and would have known Wolfe quite well. McCain to Wolfe to Watkins to BuzzFeed?

[DaxtonBrown]

Great find!

[poconopundit]

A very likely target for Mueller: a successful Russian capitalist in the high tech/internet arena. He's "obviously" guilty because:

1. He's Russian;
   
2. He's making money;
   
3. He owns a company headquartered in red Texas;
   
4. He lives in Cyprus;
   
5. He looks like a cousin of Putin;
   
6. He was accused by the reputable intelligence officer, Christopher Steele;
   
7. The prestigious BuzzFeed is accusing him.

Appears that Gubarev is not the kind of person who is going to sit back and let Mueller walk all over him.

Mueller will slither out of this somehow.
