Is this why Russia news is fading? A progressive magazine printing something like this seems like an earthquake for the Democrats. I pray that the whole truth will out on all of them: HRC, JP, DWS, Awans, JC, etc., etc., etc.!

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.

One nit to pick. Transfer rate is in bits per second (bps) vice bytes per second.

It is painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ that allows them to tie their shoes that the Uniparty is completely uninterested in pursuing any of this.

Fiber or FIOS? Hell, there are decades old copper services that well exceeded 25mB/s. They talk like 2016 is ancient history too. *head scratch* Even your average high-end residential ISPs which tend to offer asynchronous services will still let you download much faster then that. So I could maybe buy the hypothesis that the speeds were close to USB2.0 but not that it was too fast for readily available internet speeds.

To Romania? Yes, that’s more implausible. Not impossible though.

A New Report Raises Big Questions About Last Year’s DNC Hack

But enough about Debbie Wasserman Schultz

That darn flash drive got Seth Rich killed.

I’m sure one of the Awan brothers know.

And remember, Podesta said leaked should be killed.

Time stamps in the metadata provide further evidence of what happened on July 5. The stamps recording the download indicate that it occurred in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone at approximately 6:45 pm. This confirms that the person entering the DNC system was working somewhere on the East Coast of the United States. In theory the operation could have been conducted from Bangor or Miami or anywhere in between—but not Russia, Romania, or anywhere else outside the EDT zone.

If I leave a thumb drive in a PC in NYC and I access the NYC PC from Chicago and download data to the thumb drive, what will the meta data show as a timestamp ?

...and that is most likely why Seth Rich was killed.

Folden and Edward Loomis say a survey published August 3, 2016, by www.speedtest.net/reports is highly reliable and use it as their thumbnail index. It indicated that the highest average ISP speeds of first-half 2016 were achieved by Xfinity and Cox Communications. These speeds averaged 15.6 megabytes per second and 14.7 megabytes per second, respectively. Peak speeds at higher rates were recorded intermittently but still did not reach the required 22.7 megabytes per second.

Somebody doesn't know what they are talking about. Transmission rates are usually quoted in megaBITS per second, not megabytes. Is there a units error here?

I subscribe to Xfinity "Blast" service and SpeedTest just a moment ago shows I got 118 megabits//sec or 14.75 megabytes/sec.

George Webb had this a long time ago.

The framing of the Russians has Brennan’s smell all over it.

thanx for posting this important information

Another very interesting article:

“Why Some U.S. Ex-Spies Don’t Buy the Russia Story”

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-08-10/why-some-u-s-ex-spies-don-t-buy-the-russia-story

Unfortunately, it’s on Bloomberg, so I can’t post it. But it says that at least one of the hacks had to be an inside job because of the download speed that was used. It could not have been done via the web, and more likely with a thumb drive.

That The Nation printed this is interesting.

When I asked Edward Loomis, a 90 percent man, about the 10 percent he held out, he replied, “I’ve looked at the work and it shows there was no Russian hack. But I didn’t do the work. That’s the 10 percent. I’m a scientist.”

I like this guy.

Bush administration.Binney continues to speak out during Barack Obama's presidency about the NSA's data collection policies, and continues to give interviews in the media regarding his experiences and his views on interception of communication of American citizens by governmental agencies. In a legal case, Binney declared in an affidavit that the NSA is acting in deliberate violation of the U.S. Constitution.
