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.

“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.”

Directly from the article.
He is on the Red Team that Lindell has been talking about…a lot.

Trust the plan
LOL

Trust Sessions and Q too!

They only want the sensational headline to discredit Lindell.

Thank you for the post.

But he can prove the election was hacked.

Right, The point is to prove the election was hacked, and therefore, illegitimate. Consequences for who did it can be determined after Joe and the Ho are out of office.

who is a fake?

...Powell describes Spyder in court filings as a former “Military Intelligence expert,” and his testimony is offered to support one of her central claims. In a declaration filed in four states, Spyder alleges that publicly available data about server traffic shows that voting systems in the United States were “certainly compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and China.”.....

You seem to be confusing Ron Watkins with Josh Merrit.

Only one guy seems to be a real American hero.

Yes, thanks for saying it. I am very grateful for the team he has put together. This is a symposium (a conference). If Mr. Lindell can not lay this in our lap tied up with a bow, so what, he's still put in a hell of a lot of work.

We've paid attention or the best we could with all the trolling. I've seen 4 main trolls tag teaming for 2 days now. Do they really have nothing better to do?

[T]hat thing [is] as phony as a three dollar bill" .. "But, to try and explain it to the average Joe [is] a monumental task."

I'll give that a whirl using just a few of the many possible examples!     (Zoom into this image as you may desire.)

"This thread is overflowing with Chicom trolls and leftists ( but I repeat myself)." You noticed that too. The same few people are everywhere attempting to discredit every truth. Here is one from the article that those who don't read it are missing. Notice the posters do not include it.

Still, Mr. Merritt said, the data did contain important “forensic” evidence of manipulated voters. “We were handed a turd,” he said. “And I had to take that turd and turn it into a diamond. And that’s what I think we did.” “He also said that ample evidence was contained in the data which points to other significant election anomalies, that were just as significant and worth unpacking during the symposium.”

That’s the thing, it’s difficult to either prove or disapprove something happened. But I do believe that all things hidden will be revealed. I’m just waiting for that.

I don’t think it was any one thing. I think it was deliberately a bunch of little things that all add up to massive fraud. Mike is a good man, he’s digging everywhere and he could well stumble onto the very thing that will reveal the thread that can be pulled to unravel the whole scheme. Let him keep looking.

You watch the symposium on the live stream on your computer, then whenever they show the data stream on their big screen, you start screen capturing it.

How’s that going to work? You are viewing video on a screen and you screen capture the data stream “whenever” they show it? You must be kidding.

How about they do it the way most organizations do? They provide a link to the files so they can be downloaded and then run through any number of programs that can analyze and display screen captures.

Sorry, but "anomalies" are not necessarily "evidence of manipulated votes".

This is potential trial evidence. I wouldn't put it up for download. I would want to be in control of all existing copies.

Yep. The Letters, the kearning, the cutting and pasting in the layers from different sources - there is plenty to show that was a fake birth certificate.

[Revel]

Dang you are transparent.

[Fury]

This is potential trial evidence. I wouldn't put it up for download. I would want to be in control of all existing copies.

Why not? Generate a checksum for a file using SHA256, and compare the generated results between the two files.

And your suggestion of not putting it up for download is negated by doing screen captures (well enough of them) for several hours and creating the files from scratch.

[Coronal]

That would make too much sense.

[BiglyCommentary]

Now why would the consultants being paid big money by Lindell want the data to be freely available to all, so that in days it would be analyzed and then they would all be out of jobs and have the gravy train end?
