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

Posted on 08/11/2021 6:44:11 PM PDT by Rightwing Conspiratr1

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.

He’s not dead, so far as is known. The source is Dennis Montgomery, who scammed the CIA by claiming that he had developed software which supposedly could intercept and decrypt secret Al-Qaeda communications.

Then why has he not made the data public?

He did. IT people who are there on site get to see the decoded packets for any county they want. The liberal news has been throwing these "he said she said" bombs all week. Some of the IT people they are interviewing at the conference who have been spending time in the breakout sessions and deep-diving into the data are saying they are thoroughly impressed.

I fear though, that it will be like the Obama birth certificate. Any IT geek worth their salt in the day knows that thing was as phony as a three dollar bill the instant they loaded it into Adobe. But, to try and explain it to the average Joe was a monumental task.

Lindell's 5 million challenge was for someone to show that his data wasn't from the 202 election. He'll never have to pay off on that one because his data is legit. A TCP/IP data packet contains a date/time and a source/destination. Lindell has the real stuff.

Bullsh!t. If they have even one data packet with a Chinese destination or origination IP address, then that is all they need.

100% agree with you. Now all they have to do is upload that single packet to the Internet.

And, I'll bet they have plenty of those.

I'll take you up on that. How much you willing to put up?

Um, no. Did you watch any of yesterday or today’s presentation - especially yesterday when Dr. Frank, the mathematician showed the R factor of .994 (i.e., no way is natural causing) of the pattern of all 50 states’ vote tallies, today with Dr. Shiva discussing Free Speech (not votes but related) and especially when Captain Keschell, and Raza (the woman cyber forensic engineer from Sandia Labs) sat with Dr. Frank, and the NM prosecutor and all three had matching analysis of the election but from different perspectives? If you did - and you were thinking with a brain (anyone - not you specifically) - and honest - then you’d be as angry as me or anyone else watching. This was stolen. The presentation and the talk of the pcaps was a little disorganized, but, do you really think, after months of dissection and parsing and final weeks of review - that in one little article, with one or two sentences from who knows who, that it’s all fake? Then you haven’t been paying attention.

Reading the article and checking it out goes against FR's rules of reacting to the headlines and not the content.

I don't think China hacked the election. The Democrat party, Democrat Secretaries of State, a compliant Republican party, and corrupt courts let it get stolen. There was never any need to send data outside and back into the U.S. to throw the election once the software is in the necessary computers. If Gateway Pundit is right about the identical ratios of Trump to Biden votes regardless of batch size in dozens of batches in the swing states, all it would take is a excel spreadsheet with the calculations to fix the outcome. Arguing over 3am vote dumps was almost a decoy to the real rigging of the spreadsheets tallying all the votes. Too many people are still looking for exotic scenarios instead of looking at what makes the most sense.

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

Yeah, you can knock that off anytime.

Lindell was explicit that he had packet captures that showed that the election systems in several states were hacked. He had a video created about this, and that purported to show some of the actual packet captures in question (it didn’t - it was made up)

That was one of the objectives of the event - to release the packet captures that were “Absolute Proof”.

The Chicomc didn’t need to hack the election. The Democrats were happy to ballot harvest and stuff the ballot boxes while the GOP looked the other way to remove Trump. Occam’s Razor applies here in spades.

Let’s all just forget anything happened, forget that Trump had thousands of people supporting him in his rallys and Joe was lucky to muster up a dozen and the election changed in the middle of the night when everyone said they had to sleep on it.

Are we stupid enough to believe all this crap or, do we know the election was stolen. Been a nice ride for this country but, it seems many here are okay to let it keep happening.

Only one guy seems to be a real American hero. I am ashamed of America tonight. No Republican is supporting the investigation.

I have a PayPal account. But, before you over-extend yourself, you might want to capture and decode one of the 64k segments he has streaming on the big screen to the left of the stage.

Not disagreeing, but the 3rd para of the excerpt repeats the headline.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again...I don’t pay any attention to what the pillow guy has to say. Quite frankly, he’s an embarrassment to the conservative cause.

Has anyone seen a photo of Gina since that allegedly occurred? The last I heard, there has been no video of her since then.

Separate from the pcaps, this afternoon was the solid proof of the pattern of the cheat, by three independent and very well qualified observers - observers of Nov 3rd+ - not of Mike’s pcap data. That’s a bonus. Being a software developer for decades, I understood what they were saying.

Even the dummies in the middle of the day fumbling around the forensic copies of the disks of before/after of the Mesa County Colorado machine - I wanted to scream at the screen how to do basic Windows filesystem and communication logs forensics. They didn’t know what they were looking at. But, I could absolutely see the before/after of when the Dominion guy went in to do an ‘update’ - and all logs and SQL Server databases were wiped, gone, deleted. All Windows log files poofed. That is a coverup.

“John Smith murdered Steve Johnson!”

Washington Times: “You can’t prove John murdered Steve.”

They’re trying to get you to look past the sale. The issue is Steve getting murdered. It’s not about proving who did it.

No, there is isn’t. People that are there have stated that none of the packet captures in question ahve been made available - see https://mobile.twitter.com/ErrataRob as one example

If Lindell has the real stuff then he’s not making it available for review.

So, the entire article starts out with a lie? Seems like a pretty big mistake to make in the title.
