Pulling The Pin On ‘Russian’ ‘Hacking’ (Crowdstrike)
Daily Caller ^ | June 9 2017 | Diana West

Posted on 06/10/2017 11:57:46 AM PDT by Whenifhow

....Not one US senator asked former FBI Director James Comey to account for the sinister fact that the source of the explosive determination that “Russia hacked the DNC” computer system is a DNC contractor, not the FBI. Not one US Senator asked why Comey’s FBI deferred to DW-Schultz’s DNC when the DNC refused to permit FBI forensics specialists to examine the DNC computer system; or why the FBI was never able to examine Podesta’s devices.

Not one member of the Senate Intelligence Committe inquired as to why the DNC servers have not,[ ] ever been re-examined by the FBI; or whether it is just possible that this same DNC contractor putting forward the DNC/Russian hacking charge might have destroyed the DNC computer system.

[possible Q & A ]

BURR: And the FBI, in this case, unlike other cases that you might investigate — did you ever have access to the actual hardware that was hacked? Or did you have to rely on a third party to provide you the data that they had collected?

COMEY: In the case of the DNC, [ ] we did not have access to the devices themselves. We got forensic information from a private party, a high-class entity, that had done the work. But we didn’t get direct access.

The “third party” Comey and Burr discuss is a DNC contractor named Crowdstrike. How “high class” Crowdstrike really is becomes an open question on learning that Crowdstrike has had to retract signficant portions of a recent report — also on “Russia” “hacking” — following “a damaging series of questions over its credibility,” as the Daily Mail explains in detail here. The Daily Mail further reports that Crowdstrike’s co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch and president Shawn Henry themselves refused to testify in March before the House Intelligence Committee, ....

For many reasons — and particularly so long as a Washington-garrisoned army fights against solving the 2016 murder of Seth Rich, DNC voter expansion data director — I suspect that the DNC was brought low by a disgusted American leaker, very possibly Seth Rich, someone who had had it with Clinton corruption, with DNC-Clinton collusion against Bernie Sanders, not a foreign actor at all. That, of course, is my hunch, which throws a certain desperate logic into the “Russian hacking” hysteria (Look over there….) Then there are the opaque and furtive qualities of the “Russian hacking” finding, which exhibits every sign of being a Swamp creation.

They need a hack, no matter the truth, because leaks lead them down a road they cannot bear to travel.

They hope to hang Trump with a Russian hack.
A leak puts the nooses around their own necks.

I'm sure that virtually everyone in Congress, the IC and in the MSM knows that the whole "Russia" thing was simply the excuse Obama used to spy on Trump's campaign (and later his transition) team.

No one in this Deep State wants to admit it because it provides the justification they need to protect Obama, Hillary, themselves, and to continue to try and oust the biggest threat they've ever faced in their corrupt careers... Trump.

Not one Senator, even Republicans, decried this sham “investigation” even though they knew it since early May. They all want Trump out and the legitimate will of the people overturned no matter how it happens or who gets hurt.

So Ukraine is the source of the Russia story. Ukraine and DNC. And Comey’s FBI ran with it, as did the obamists at the intel agencies.

Remember this when they tell you that “17 agencies agree”.

To paraphrase a founder: They need to find a way to hang an innocent man or they will all hang together.

We think Richard Burr cares to impugn the Democrats, while Trump is president, or any other of his nemesis among the institutional enablers of the Left? Not.

Burr is not one of us. He is one of theirs.

Yes, maybe now the obvious surfaces more publicly.

The R’s are in with CNN and also for any investigative committee that can further impugn Trump. The R’s are the ones waiting with bated breath for enough innuendo and slander to prompt Paul Ryan the Depressed to cheer up and call for impeachment.

Paul Ryan in the House and the senate Gang of Eight are the pack leaders. The R’s are soo in.on.this. We pretend, if we think otherwise.

If George Webb gets a White House Press pass, some very interesting questions may get asked...

Perhaps there already is an ongoing investigation, and if so Sens would be advised not to comment on it.

It is true, they needed to ask why the FBI was conducting a large scale investigation on the mere self-serving claim of DNC employees who refused anyone else access to the seen of the alleged crime?

That is like me hireling someone to claim my neighbor broke into and trashed my house while refusing the police or anyone else access to my house to investigate.

My neighbor might be justifiably annoyed at having to endure an intrusive year long investigator that doesn’t even cover the one place that the crime is alleged to have taken place.

He might even assume that such an investigation given what it excludes is by definition little more than a broad and largely aimless witchhunt!

Why not ask the FBI director why he felt it justified to investigate everywhere except the alleged seen of the crime?

You just don’t see a pack of wolves eating one of its own.
