Posting this for informational purposes only and do not in any way endorse the veracity of this Slate article. In fact, I regard it with great suspicion and post it here only to help my fellow Freepers stay informed.
The Democrat Candidate shared a link to this article on Facebook this evening.

Hillary is tweeting this nonsense. It reads like a Coast to Coast show. Incredibly long and way at the end you find it’s not true, NYT disproved it, they admit there are other explanations. It’s all data conspiracy craziness.

US officials see no link between Trump and Russia: report

I love the left’s tactic of asking a question, e.g. “Is Trump a serial groper?”; “Will the GOP rebound after Trump?” “Will Trump’s temper lead us to war?”

The article here is example #7,589, (just this week!).

From the end of the article- “What the scientists amassed wasn’t a smoking gun. It’s a suggestive body of evidence that doesn’t absolutely preclude alternative explanations.” It’s nonsense and Hillary relied on it like a kook.

Oh, Fer Pete’s Sake. Give. It. Up.

Hillary is TOAST...and should have already been arrested last July. Huma is going to SING like a canary to save her sorry Muslim @ss because the Devil She Knew WILL throw her under the bus!

Best. Election. Ever. EVER!

Okay, it’s got to be gospel.

LOL. I crack me up.

This story likely originated on a single entry WordPress blog:

An critique of the above blog post by an author likely hostile towards “Donny” finds the story flimsy to say the least:

Yes, that’s why I included that final paragraph. Even Slate knows they must shield themselves from the manure they are shoveling in case they end up in court.

What the scientists amassed wasn’t a smoking gun. It’s a suggestive body of evidence that doesn’t absolutely preclude alternative explanations.

Translation: we got nothing so we'll make some stuff up and hope it sticks.

If I'd written this crap I'd shoot myself.

Slate's "Russian server story" is so bad that Daily Beast (owned by Chelsea Clinton) passed on it and Carlos Slims' blog (NYT) debunked it.

[mrsmith]

It’s “intelligent” enough for a Hillary supporter!

I’m just an IT dilletante and it seemed like a case of looking too hard for something.

[DesertRhino]

This is BS and doesn’t belong here. Now is not the time to give crap stories like this a single hit.

Was Hillary’s sever communicating with the Russians?

A better question is who was Huma Abiden communicating with?

[House Atreides]

The stench of Progressive bull crap is in the air.

Probably the real story is that Clinton campaign is making a big stink about this easily debunked garbage. It is the move of a candidate in despair. This story proves that Clinton has destroyed herself.
