Monday.  I wonder if anything happened over the weekend…

 

THE PARADISE PAPERS TIE COMMERCE SECRETARY WILBUR ROSS TO A COMPANY CO-OWNED WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN’S SON-IN-LAW

Wow. Just, wow. The Paradise Papers.

This is like the sequel to the Panama Papers.  I even joked about that yesterday.  But this could be even bigger for US Politics.

Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce, and one shady muthafucka, did not divest himself from all or his assets before taking his cabinet position, nor were they placed into a blind trust.  One of those assets, owned by him through four shell companies each named with his initials, is a shipping company called Navigator Holdings.  It is a shipping company that specializes in transporting oil and natural gas across the world.

Ross owns a share of this company. As does Kirill Shamalov, Russia’s youngest billionaire.

Never heard of Kirill?  What about his wife Katerina Tikhonova?

Still not ringing a bell?  Her maiden name is Katerina Putina.

Still not making sense.  Ok, Russian names are hard.  Here’s a hint.  Women in Russia often add an a to their last name.  So, take Putina, and drop the a, and you get…

Putin.  Yes, that guy.  Kirill is Vladimir Putin’s son-in-law, and business parter of Wilbur Ross.

If he just had some shares, that wouldn’t be so bad.  But he owns a large percentage of the company, covered it up with 4 shell companies, and DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS TO THE SENATE DURING HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING.

He’s trying to hide this.

I’ve covered his shadiness from his days running the Bank of Cyprus, famous for it’s money laundering, money laundering, and money laundering.  This adds to it, and may get the needle moving on him leaving office.

 

KREMLIN CASH BEHIND LARGE INVESTMENTS INTO TWITTER AND FACEBOOK

Yuri Melner is a Russian billionaire and tech investor.  He invested $191 million in Twitter, and over $1 billion into Facebook at their IPO, propping up their valuation enough for them to get through some lean years.

It turns out it wasn’t his money he invested, but that of the Russian Government.  The money was given to him from government owned banks like VSB, and they received that from various Oligarchs and government bodies.  Milner than took that money, and invested it in the tech giants before they were the giants they are today.

By the way, Yuri is good friends with Jared Kushner.  Let that sink in.

 

MUELER HAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE FLYNN, HAS A PLAN TO DEAL WITH POTENTIAL PARDONS.

Flynn is fucked worse than a drug addicted porn star with severe daddy issues.  He’s looking at serious jail time for not registering as a foreign agent, money laundering, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and espionage.

And his son is just as fucked.

Their only chances at not receiving the death penalty is to cooperate with Mueller, or hope for a pardon.  Of course, Mueller has a plan for Pardons.

Expect some concurrent charges to come from multiple states when Mueller is ready to drop the hammer on Flynn.

There is the chance that he is cooperating.  I’ll explain that later on.

 

DeVOS COULD RESIGN SOON

Might not be an indictment, but at least it could get her out of office and prevent some of the damage she could cause.  Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, a member of the Prince family and brother of Erik of Blackwater fame, is reportedly looking for a way out of her cabinet position.

Supposedly, she’s pissed at having to perform her job, is not liked in the Department of Education at all, can’t play politics, and doesn’t like the fact that she’s not treated like a queen.

I still fully expect her to end up under indictment at some point.  Remember the Alfa Bank/Trump Tower server connection?  They were incorporated with a third sever, located at Heritage Health, owned by Betsy’s family.  The hypothesis goes that after the Russians hacked the voter rolls from various locations, they transmitted these databases to Trump Tower, which then connected to Heritage Health.  There, using access to national health care databases to verify identities, they would modify the data, like changing addresses, or middle initials, or change the zip codes of registered Democrats and Independents in strategic locations.  Then, that info was transmitted back to Trump Tower, where it was then handed off back to Alfa Bank.  From there, the hackers could upload the new data, overwriting the old with little to no notion that they were ever there.

 

GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS MAY HAVE MET PUTIN IN GREECE

Check this out. Screenshot is below in case it disappears, along with a picture of him with the Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos This photo was reportedly taken in late May, on or around the 27th.  Vladimir Putin was Was in Greece at this time.

Independent Reporter put the pieces together on this one.

 

RUSSIA SCREWING WITH SCOTLAND SECESSION VOTE

Russia is trying to screw with the Scotland Independence vote. At this point, I can’t say I’m even the slightest bit surprised.

 

TRUMP JR. OFFERED TO RELAX, EVEN RESCIND MAGNITSKY ACT IN JUNE 9 MEETING

Trump Jr. offered to “review” the Magnitsky Act if his dad were elected President, according to Natalia Veselnitskaya.

I’m not sure what’s more fucked up.  That this conversation took place, that Diaper Donnie was dumb enough to release the email evidence to the world, that I’m willing to believe the Russian Lawyer/KGB/FSB Agent, or that the Russian Lawyer and Spy has built a better reputation during this story than the namesake of the fucking President, or that this isn’t even the biggest story of the day.

 

AIRPLANE LICENSE TRUST THROUGH BANK OF UTAH ALLOWS OLIGARCHS TO OWN AMERICAN LUXURY AIRPLANES

Another gem from the Paradise Papers.  Leonid Mikhelson owns a plane in the United States, even though he’s under sanctions, and not allowed to enter the U.S., let alone have a pilots license.  Thanks to the Bank of Utah setting up a trust, he was able to purchase a luxury jet.

 

OTHER STORIES:  ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING, TRUMP IN ASIA, POTENTIAL WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND HOT TAKES FROM THE RUMOR MILL

There was another mass shooting over the weekend, this time in a Texas church.  I’d make the joke about “thoughts and prayers”, but it’s very low hanging.  Of course it’s in bad taste, but when has bad taste ever stopped me from telling a joke?

A ballistic missile was fired at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia over the weekend, and the Saudi’s are blaming Hezbollah.  They’re trying to start a war with Lebanon.  This is also a week after Jared Kushner visited Saudi Arabia, and several government members that have pushed for more democratic reforms were either arrested or expelled from the country.  I’m not sure if a shooting war will break out, or if Russia will swoop in at the last minute to fill in as “peacekeepers” but I expect something bad

There has been a lot of arguing on the Rumor Mill the last couple days about Mike Flynn. I didn’t want to include this in the main section about him, since this hasn’t been corroborated by the Main Stream Media, but several Twitter accounts like Claude, Louise, John Schindler, Eric Garland, and Countercheckist, all agree that Flynn is about to be publicly indicted.  They’ve mostly agreed to the existence of sealed indictments for months, and they also agree that at some point, Flynn was cooperating with Mueller on a deal to spare his son’s life.

This is where the consensus splits.  Mike Flynn, Jr., is an asshole, and won’t keep his mouth shut.  He’s still tweeting out Russian propaganda, and has even gone after the Special Counselor.  This may have caused the deal with Mike Flynn, Sr. to fall apart.

Louise and Claude are still sticking with their original story that Flynn has flipped, and that the deal is still on the table.  Someone else, I believe John, said that Mueller pulled the deal a month or two ago after several warnings.  Yet another member claimed that the deal was pulled, but then re-extended recently.

If I had to guess, I’d say that the third is pretty likely.  Mike Flynn has been very quiet, aside from one press conference announcing his legal fund.  Even if he flipped, he’d still need a lawyer, and they get expensive quick.

By the way, Countercheckist did another one his FEATHERS tweets, saying that “FEATHERS13 is cleared for takeoff, with thermonuclear payload.”  Attached was a gif of a B-2 Stealth Bomber taking off.  Last time he did one of these was a couple weeks ago on October 3rd, for FEATHERS11 and FEATHERS12. He retweeted it as the Manafort/Gates/Papadopoulos story broke.  I think this is his way of being cute and saying something big is coming.  I’m going to say he’s referring to Flynn as FEATHERS13.  Taking him down would almost guarantee the end of Trump’s Presidency.  Flynn can deliver everyone in the administration on a silver platter, and would force Trump to try to use his pardon power to get out of this, which could be even worse for Trump.  Trump will try to fire Mueller at some point, but even that will backfire.  Mueller has a deadman’s switch built into this whole operation.

The Washington Post has the Mayflower Hotel Tape, where Donald Trump explicitly asks Putin and the Russians for help.

The New York Times also has it.  And NBC.  And CBS.  And ABC.  And CNN.

Shit’s bout to get crazy like the cat lady.

 

That’s it for today.

Thank you, and have a good one.

 

EDIT:  The Carter Page Transcripts just came out. Never speak to Congress without a lawyer.  Even a bad one wouldn’t let their client go on like this.

Friday. Time for the news dump.

RUSSIANS, ROGER STONE EDITED DNC MAILS, THEN GAVE THEM TO JULIAN ASSANGE TO RELEASE ON WIKILEAKS

Remember when Roger Stone, one of Trump’s campaign leaders, bragged about how he was in contact with Guccifer 2.0 about the DNC emails?

Turns out that contact included editing the stolen mails to make them even more salacious than they were before.  These edits made turned the DNC mail story into one of conspiracy and vote rigging in the Democratic Primary, where the Democratic National Committee’s hand picked choice of Hilary Clinton, a lifelong Democrat, defeated the fringe candidate Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont.  Meanwhile, Hilary beat Bernie by MILLIONS of votes, and Bernie Sanders would have been a terrible choice to run for President.

Did I mention that Guccifer 2.0 was a Russian state sponsored hacker?  This person may have been a part of, or an alias for Fancy Bear.

After Roger and the Russian Hackers edited the DNC mails, they then gave them to Julian Assange, who released them on Wikileaks.

What also gets interesting is how this narrative of what the mails contained seemed to come out a day before the mails dropped.  Almost like someone knew.

 

IT’S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF

According to one source that CBS spoke to, it’s every man, and woman, for themselves in the Mueller investigation.  Everyone is throwing each other under the bus to try to get the best deal.

This reminds of the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

Two people, let’s call them Al and Bob, are arrested, and taken to separate interview rooms.  The cops interview both of them separately, and offer each of them the same deal.

If neither accept the deal, both Al and Bob are looking at 5 years in prison.

If Al accepts, and Bob doesn’t, the one who accepts gets 2 years, but the other one gets 20 years.  The opposite applies.

If they both accept, Al and Bob will both rat each other out, and both will get 10 years.

It sounds like that everyone is trying to give Mueller and his team all of the information they can, in order to not die of old age in prison.

 

MORE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN UKRAINE, RUSSIAN ORGANIZED CRIME, MANAFORT, AND TRUMP

Yep.  This time, some of the same Russian Oligarchs that worked with Manafort in Ukraine also have connections with Trump’s casinos dating back to the 1990’s.

 

MANAFORT TRIAL SET FOR MAY 8, 2018, PROSECUTION PLANS A 3 WEEK TRIAL

From what the lawyers on Twitter are saying, this is a pretty quick timetable for a trial of this magnitude.  Either they have some pretty damning evidence, or everything they have is flimsy.

Considering that Mueller team member Andrew Weissman was able to successfully argue that Manafort’s lawyer was a party to these crimes and thus waived the right to attorney-client privilege, and was subpoenaed by the Grand Jury to testify against Manafort, and they’ve had a FISA warrant on Paul since last year, I’m guessing they have a pretty powerful case.

 

TRUMP KICKS OFF NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH WITH “POCAHONTAS” RACIAL SLUR AGAINST SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN. I SHIT YOU NOT.

In Trump’s morning tirade, he went after Senator Elizabeth Warren.  She claims to have some Native American ancestry, which is more common than people think.

Trump, in his morning tweet tirade, called her Pocahontas.  This might not seem like much, but there’s a good number of people that would consider it at least slightly racist.

This was also the beginning of Native American Heritage Month.  Think about that for a second.  I’m honestly afraid of what he’ll say to Senator Cory Booker in February.

 

NEWS SOURCES CITED RUSSIAN TROLLS

WaPo, NYT, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, PBS.  All of them got fooled by the Russians.

 

CANADA ADDS 52 NAMES TO THEIR MAGNITSKY LIST

Most of them came from Russia.  19 from Venezuela, and 3 from South Sudan.  Way to go, Bill!

 

FACEBOOK HAS 60 MILLION FAKE ACCOUNTS

About 2-3% of accounts on Facebook are duplicates or fakes.  Some of those are used to spread propaganda.  Surely not all 60 million, but enough.

 

TWITTER DIDN’T TAKE RUSSIAN ACTIONS SERIOUSLY

On the other hand, Twitter seems to thrive off of fake accounts.  Thousands of fake accounts are added every day, many of them from Russian, Indian, or Chinese IP’s.  Their business model is driven by views, not content.  If views and hits are all that are important, creating armies of bots to swarm to a post to view and interact with users or posts to drive hits is all that is needed to make something appear big.

This is Twitter’s problem.  And as more information comes out, it’s only going to get worse.

 

TWITTER CUSTOMER REP DELETES TRUMP TWITTER ACCOUNT, GONE FOR 11 MINUTES For 11 glorious minutes, in one of the best “Fuck it, I’m out” moves in history, a third party contractor blocked @realDonaldTrump on their way out the door.

For 11 minutes, he did not exist on Twitter.  And the world was safe and sound.

It was quickly fixed, but reports out of the White House said that he went absolutely batshit when it was blocked.

Just imagine how bad he’ll get if he gets slapped with a gag order soon.

 

RIGHT WING BLOGGER JENNA ABRAMS WAS A RUSSIAN CREATION

I’ve never heard of her before, but apparently this blogger, who had 70.000 followers, wasn’t real, but a Russian creation.

 

TRUMP HEARD OUT GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS, PER JD GORDON

Another member of Trump’s NatSec team, JD Gordon, said that Trump heard George Papadopoulos out on his Russian meeting idea during the March meeting, and didn’t say no.

Of course “Greatest Memory in the World” Donald Trump doesn’t remember that.  And yes, last week he claimed to have the World’s Greatest Memory.  This is gonna bite him in the ass.

 

PAPADOPOULOS CONSIDERED CONGRESSIONAL RUN BEFORE ARREST

According to his LinkedIn profile, George was looking into a run for Congress before he was indicted.  He asked people for help in finding staffers, campaign finance people, and what districts would be good to run in.

After his indictment, he asked for recommendations on publishing houses, saying that “he has a a story to tell.”

No fucking shit.

 

TRUMP MAY MEET WITH PUTIN IN VIETNAM ON ASIA TRIP

Trump has met with Vladimir Putin twice.  Vietnam will be the third time.

That’s more times than he’s met the Mexican or French President, or the Canadian or British Prime Ministers.

And they didn’t commit an Act of War against the United States last year.

 

LONGTIME TRUMP BODYGUARD TO MEET WITH MUELLER ABOUT 2013 RUSSIAN TRIP

Phil Schiller knows where the bodies are, both literally and figuratively.  He has been by Trump’s side for nearly 20 years.

That includes Trump’s trip to Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant.  And to the Ritz Carlton where the “Pee Tape” was supposedly made.

 

“I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS”

When he asked by Laura Ingrahm of Fox News why he hasn’t filled senior positions at the State Department, this was his response.

This cult of personality has gone too far already.

 

TRUMP NOT HAPPY ABOUT RULE OF LAW

Trump doesn’t want to be President, he wants to be a dictator.  We still have rules and laws here in the U.S., and he’s going to find out the hard way how much that means to people.

 

“THIS IS AUTOCRAT 101” SAYS EX-OBAMA SPOKESMAN

Yep.  Just like I just said, Trump thought being President meant he could do whatever he wanted.  He was wrong.

 

CARL BERNSTEIN SAYS THIS COULD BE WORSE THAN WATERGATE

Watergate was an attempted break-in of a campaign headquarters, followed by a massive cock-up of a cover up.  A handful of burglars and a few principles in the administration knew at first, but it grew quickly.

The Russian Affair was a Presidential candidate working with a hostile foreign power to subvert Democracy itself.

40 men went to jail, with 69 indicted.  When it’s all said and done, it’ll make Watergate look like a parking ticket.

 

VESELNITSKAYA ENTRY VISA TO UNITED STATES DENIED

The lawyer from the June 9 Meeting was denied entry into the U.S.

 

DONNA BRAZILE AND DNC MAILS STORY PUSHED BY RIGHT WING BEFORE GUCCIFER 2.0 STORY BROKE

This one was a weird one to make the rounds today, but in hindsight it makes sense.  The RWM and Donald Trump were pushing the DNC rigging storyline pretty hard today.  It confused me as to why, until I saw the story about Guccifer 2.0.

This was deflection, distraction, and projection.  Pure and simple.  This is their weapon of choice.

 

CARTER PAGE NAME DROPPING JEFF SESSIONS A BIT TOO MUCH

Carter Page is a fucking idiot.  A useful fucking idiot.  One of the things that he did, a little too much in the last couple days, was drop Jeff Sessions’ name in connection to his Russian trip.  Several times.

Did Jeff know? Absolutely.

Is Carter likely a Russian Spy? I wouldn’t put it past him.

Could he be trying to implicate Jeff even further, and get it to the point that he’s pushed out of the door and Jeff is replaced with a new Attorney General who can fire Mueller?

That’s what I’m worried about.

 

IVANKA STILL USES PRIVATE MAIL FOR WHITE HOUSE BUSINESS

Of fucking course.  Irony must be a rare commodity in Washington these days.

 

CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL

This report needs to be released every four years, and the EPA and other departments released it to the public.  Not only does it come to the pretty obvious conclusion that Climate Change is real, but we’re causing it.

How are them coal jobs coming along?

 

CYPRUS GAVE MUELLER MANAFORT’S BANK RECORDS BEFORE INDICTMENTS

From the Manafucked Chronicles, when the Government of Cyprus gives the Special Counselor you’re bank records, showing your transaction history from Russian Mafia and Oligarchs and to businesses owned by you in the United States, that’s Manafucked.

LIN WEBER, HEAD OF MERCURY LLC, UNDER INVESTIGATION

Mercury LLC was one of the two lobbying groups that Manafort commissioned to work on Ukraine’s behalf, and they did not register with FARA while doing so.

 

REDDIT HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL IN SPREADING FAKE AND ALTERNATIVE NEWS

The fake news order goes a little like this.  Someone makes something up on 4chan or Reddit, out on the fringes like The_Donald.  The person who made it puts it on Twitter. It gets picked up on other, more popular pages, then on other media sites like Daily Caller or Breitbart.  Next thing, Fox News is running a story about it.

 

LARA TRUMP ANGLING FOR WHITE HOUSE POSITION

Eric Trump’s wife, the head of the reelection committee, and founder of Trump TV, is trying to get an official position in the White House.

 

MARY TRUMP WONDERED WHAT KIND OF MONSTER SHE CREATED

Most of Trump’s mental problems started with Mommy and Daddy.  This article goes into some details about her.

 

WHO IS THE PROFESSOR?

John Schindler writes about The Professor, a Russian Spy who worked with George Papadopoulos in London.

He has disappeared for the time being, and hopefully we catch him before the Russians do.  He has some explaining to do.

 

MNUCHIN BEHIND POWELL FED NOMINEE

Steven Mnuchin was behind the pick, no matter what Trump wants to say.

 

TRUMP NOMINATED CLUB MEMBERS TO IMPORTANT POSITIONS IN GOVERNMENT

In yet another example of blatant corruption, high ranking positions like diplomatic assignments are going to people who are members of Trump’s resorts.

 

SECOND YEAR WILL BE WORSE

If you thought this year was bad, wait till next year.  Not only will the Russian Investigation be in full swing, but the government still has many unfilled openings across many departments, and the parties will be at each others’ throats next year.

 

STRATEGIC DECEPTION FROM THE RUSSIAN PLAYBOOK

A nice little description about how the Russians do what they do, and how they do it.

 

THREE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF FREEDOM CAUCUS FILE RESOLUTION ASKING MUELLER TO RESIGN

At this point, I’m strongly in the “If you’re trying to end this investigation to protect Trump, you are a co-conspirator” camp.  There is no other way to describe it at this point.

RICK GATES FAILED TO DISCLOSE SECOND PASSPORT

This just came in a short time ago.  I’d ask how he forgot that he has a second passport, but then again, I forgot my keys on my work desk 5 times this week when I left the office.  What’s really impressive is I only worked 4 days.

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s kind of hard when the person pals around with Paul Manafort.

 

That’s it for today.  At least, most of what happened.  Trump left on his Asian trip, but as far as I heard, there were no new arrests or indictments unsealed.  Part of the trip was a rider that included some crazy requests, like having the heat in the hotels set to 81 F, 3 XXXL silk robes, which I believe are also called Parachutes, and a bunch of unhealthy food, with not a vegetable in sight.

I’ve got a couple story ideas for this weekend, assuming I get some time to write.  Since Bernie is back in the news, and there are more than a couple voices saying that he might be complicit in some stuff with Russia, which I don’t necessarily believe, I want to write about how Trump vs. Bernie would have been Putin’s best available outcome.  The other story is about an article I didn’t cover this week, about why I don’t use the T word.

 

Thank you, and have a good one.

Thursday.

MORE INFORMATION COMES OUT CONNECTING MANAFORT TO RUSSIA

The Daily Beast illustrated a few more connections between Paul Manafort and Russian Organized Crime.

According to the article, his ties go all the way to the top of the Russian Mafia. Considering his ties to the Party of Regions, I’m expecting to hear that he has Putin’s cell phone by the end of the week.

MUELLER GETS DOCUMENTS FROM JARED KUSHNER

Jared Kushner is in Mueller’s crosshairs. Kushner has voluntarily given the Special Counselor documents related to his role in Comey’s firing.

Jared is an interesting case. He is the weak link in the family, and doesn’t want to end up like his dad, in prison. But he is in WAYYYY over his head, and is looking at a very long prison sentence.

Jared might try to flip. The question is, does he have enough for Mueller?

CLOVIS WITHDRAWS FROM AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT POSITION

Sam Clovis withdrew his name from consideration for the top science position in the Department of Agriculture.

Not because he’s completely unqualified, or he’s not a scientist, or he has no clue what he’s doing, but because he’s a cooperating witness with the Special Counselor.

TRUMP TEAM FOUND OUT CLOVIS TESTIFIED BEFORE GRAND JURY FROM MEDIA

Well, this is awkward. Trump found out that Sam Clovis testified before a grand jury by watching it on the news.

Right before his Senate confirmation hearing.

CARTER PAGE TESTIFIED FOR OVER 7 HOURS, SAID SESSIONS KNEW OF RUSSIAN TRIP

The Sheldon Cooper of Treason is at it again. Carter Page spoke with the House Intelligence Committee all day. For more than 7 hours. Without an attorney.

Only an idiot would represent themselves in court. Only the heir to the throne to the Kingdom of Idiots would represent themselves in front of Congress when espionage is on the table.

According to Page, he told Jeff Sessions that he was working on the campaign, and that he was traveling to Russia.

MERCER RESIGNS FROM HIS HEDGE FUND, CUTS TIES WITH BANNON, BREITBART, MILO

Robert Mercer is stepping down from his hedge fund. He is also selling his share of Breitbart to his daughter, and is separating himself from Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopolous, whom he funded on his recent tour.

Mercer, who was also the money behind Cambridge Analytica and Ted Cruz, knows that something is up, and may be trying to distance himself from everyone else.

Plus, it’s bad for business if people know that they’re investing their money with a crazy racist.

TRUMP SUBDOMAINS POINT TO RUSSIAN IP ADDRESSES, GODADDY ACCOUNT HACKED YEARS AGO, DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT

This got me a little worked up this morning. Someone, likely Russians, gained access to the Trump GoDaddy account, and used it to register extra shadow domains that pointed to IP addresses in Russia. Those addresses hosted servers that hosted malware that could spoof logins and grab ID’s and passwords.

These subdomains were online for five years, and likely had access to all of the other servers on the Trump server farm, like their email servers, their business and payment servers, and their campaign servers.

The only way that the Trump team even knew about this was because Mother Jones called them for comment. Only after this did they disappear.

Holy Fucking Dogshit! This is IT Security 101. A few commands from the command prompt, or some online tools could check the domains in a few seconds, and an NSLookup would find the IP address faster than it took to read that sentence.

And they were on the network for five years.

This is criminally negligent at best. Complicit or worse is even more likely.

They hosted their campaign information on this compromised server farm. They hosted their businesses there. Hell, Jared and Ivanka hosted their secret White House mail server there.

And the Russians had the keys.

I have a couple articles I didn’t write about today or yesterday, but I want to save them for bigger pieces. One will be why I don’t necessarily trust Bernie Sanders and his team, and why I don’t use the T word too much.

Thank you, and have a good one.
