Ironically living in a great country like ours vs. what Putin runs gives you that right. 2003 called, they want their blind belief in the intelligence community back. 1

Deranged Rhino Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 11 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: AFAIK the FBI was satisfied with everything that was provided to them for them to conduct an examination which seems pretty comprehensive in light of the 12 indictments this past Friday. (with nothing but respect) That's the FBI's position, Comey was satisfied with not possessing the server and trusting CrowdStrike who was, in addition to being a contractor for the DNC and Clinton campaign, was also an FBI contractor. Those connections alone would cause any investigator worth their salt to pause - especially in light of the 10 day lapse between when the "hack(s)" took place and when it was reported to the FBI. Under normal circumstances this would look fishy - let alone the under the intense pressure of what was going on in 2016. When we're talking about the investigation into an attack on our elections by a foreign actor, in the middle of one of the more divisive campaigns in US history, this flub is egregious is it not? It can't be simply passed off as a non issue - not when Vault 7 calls into question every forensic conclusion drawn by the investigators. This decision by Comey NOT to take possession of the servers opened the FBI and the DNC up to all sorts of questions that deserve answers. Answers that could have been provided without qualification had the FBI just examined the evidence for themselves directly. With the help of DNI Coats and NSA head Mike Rogers, we know for a fact that the FBI Counter Intelligence Division (CID) was illegally abusing FBI/NSA servers to spy on Americans without a warrant during this time period. We know, for a fact not speculation, that private government contractors were the source of this abuse. We also know, for a fact, that CrowdStrike was a government contractor working inside the CID at the time of these abuses. This is backed by mountains of evidence. It's a bit suspicious that every single "hack" and event in the narrative happened after Mike Rogers ordered an audit into these abuses inside the CID. If you're a government contractor who's breached national security by installing back door access onto FBI/NSA servers and found out the NSA is now going to investigate that breach - wouldn't there be extreme motivation for you to hide that evidence? And wouldn't an excuse to wipe the server completely be a perfect solution? See. I have evidence to prove all that happened. I can prove there were abuses inside the CID. I can prove CrowdStrike had access. I can build a convincing case that shows it's possible - if not probable - that CrowdStrike created the persona of Guicifer 2.0 to get ahead of WikiLeaks' release of documents. What I can't prove is that the forensic evidence used by the FBI is legit because the original server was never turned over and all the evidence comes from a suspect of the investigation rather than an impartial investigative body like the FBI. In this environment, when discussing the most politically divisive scandal in US history, I most reasonable people would agree this isn't good enough. The FBI shouldn't have put themselves in a position where they had to trust the word of a third party contractor over being able to see the evidence directly for themselves. This gaffe, and it is a gaffe, in light of all the other revelations about what the FBI-CID was up to during that time frame raises reasonable doubt about the FBI and DNC's account. And Vault 7 raises reasonable doubt as to the findings in the most recent indictments. That's not conspiracy to suggest there's doubt. It's reality because of the way the FBI chose to handle the investigation. 1

Or maybe you're adding words and context that didn't exist - because dishonesty is your thing. This guy needs proof that Trump sided with Putin over the USA. Pick up a paper.

Max doesn't believe in innocent until proven guilty I guess.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 (and this was one of the more interesting disclosures that no one picked up on) TRUMP: Well, our militaries do get along. Our militaries have gotten along probably better than our political leaders for years. Our militaries do get along very well. They do coordinate in Syria and other places. Okay? Thank you.
