EXCLUSIVE: Mike Lindell’s lead cyber expert says they can’t prove China hacked 2020 election
Washington Times ^ | Aug 11, 2021 | Joseph Clark

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s lead cyber expert now says the key data underpinning the theory that China hacked the 2020 election unveiled at the Cyber Symposium is illegitimate.

Mr. Lindell said he had 37 terabytes of “irrefutable” evidence that hackers, who he said were backed by China, broke into election systems and switched votes in favor of President Biden. The proof, he said, is visible in intercepted network data or “packet captures” that were collected by hackers and could be unencrypted to reveal that a cyberattack occurred and that votes were switched.

But Mr. Lindell’s lead cyber expert, Josh Merritt, told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyberincursion by China.

Bullsh!t. If they have even one data packet with a Chinese destination or origination IP address, then that is all they need. And, I'll bet they have plenty of those. The liberal press has been throwing these bombs for the last week.

The man is NOT Lindell’s lead cyber expert and does NOT work for Lindell. People should read the article and not the headline.

Just to clarify your excerpt:

"Clarification: The article previously described Mr. Merritt as Lindell’s lead cyber expert. Mr. Merritt is a cyber expert on the red team hired by Mr. Lindell to interrogate the data for the symposium, and does not work directly for Mr. Lindell."

From the original source.

Then why has he not made the data public?

Actually, The Washington Times is the Romney/Graham/McConnell Press.

I haven’t heard of a Josh Merritt during the symposium so I did a search. Mostly results pertaining to Sidney Powell.

I thought the person that is supposed to have supplied the 37tb was some other guy who recently died of a stroke.

The Chinese,the North Koreans and the Russians are masters at cyberhacking. Just because you can't prove that the Chinese did something it most assuredly doesn't mean that they didn't.

As proof I give you the Wuhan Flu.

It’s easy for the enemy to win when we fall so easily for their lies and our cowardice leads us to throw our heroes under the bus so quickly and so easily.

He did release tons of data. Why don’t you investigate before trolling this thread?

Even if they could - what will change as a result?

The disinformation clan to discredit the Cyber Symposium didn’t take long.

You know you’re right over the target when...

Sorry but there hasn’t even been a whiff of a captured data packet.

:-(
