The server in this case was a marketing company server with Trump hotel contract
This was sending spam emails from domain the marketing company created. (It was not even a trump.server or domain)...
The so call suspicious traffic was alfa bank doing dns looksup on the spam
..im reading the server was not at Trump tower but in a Phili data center hosting site...
It sound like it just some VMware image/cloud Server spun up in data center for marking spam...and would be all open ip traffic easy to traceroute, sniff and dismiss in about two seconds
So the question is what were they looking at vs what they got the warrant on
At very least secret traffic is going to be encrypted and the Trump and Russian server talk via vpn or some tor / onion router
So did the claim for the warrant some dns queries from a Russian computer to a marketing server for Trump in a Philly Data Center was some nefarious traffic and then use it to go on a fishing expedition?
See the link on my post #52.
Oh, yes. They lied. The real reason to wiretap Trump was to get information on him to use against him.
The ENDS justify the MEANS. They had to lie to put the caper into place without getting stopped.
To a democrat, that’s just a little lie, like calling in sick to work so you can go fishing. “Hey, the fish are biting and I don’t feel like working! What’s the big deal, man!?”
Some will even argue that because it was about getting info on Trump, it was justified,
