What was the big news from the latest Senate Intelligence Report? That Trump associates may have conspired with some Russians to do something vague which may or may not have helped Trump in the 2016 election? Maybe, but that is not the big news, which is that

There is no hard evidence that Russians hacked the DNC computers and delivered stolen e-mails to Wikileaks.

Here is what Mueller alleged in his report: "Between May 25,2016, and June 1, 2016, GRU officers accessed the DNC's mail server from a GRU-controlled computer leased inside the US," the report, released on April 18, 2019, stated, referencing the acronym for one of Russia's spy agencies. "During these connections, Unit 26165 officers appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments, which were later released by WikiLeaks in July 2016."

Despite relying heavily on the Mueller report, the fifth volume of the report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) doesn't feature any of the details from the specific claim by the special counsel. The late May time frame alleged by Mueller is entirely absent from the committee's 20-page timeline of the DNC hack. Instead, the SSCI report includes a single vague sentence, as part of an undated timeline entry that mentions neither emails nor hacking.

"Henry testified that CrowdStrike was 'able to see some exfiltration and the types of files that had been touched' but not the content of those files," the Aug. 18 report says, citing the committee's interview with Shawn Henry, the head of the team from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which the DNC brought in to handle the breach on April 30, 2016. ...

CrowdStrike's official timeline of the DNC event likewise omits the hack that Mueller alleged to have taken place on or about May 25 to June 1, 2016. The cybersecurity firm claims that no hack occurred.''"There is no indication of any subsequent breaches taking place on the DNC's corporate network or on any machines protected by CrowdStrike Falcon," the company told Epoch Times."

The Epoch Times, Wednesday, August 26, 2020.


There you have it, folks. CrowdStrike investigated the rumored hacking and found no hacking occurred. That makes it appear that attempts to ignore Seth Rich and the possible in-house theft of the emails as suggested by Julian Assange, was an unwise tack to take.
 
Trump was bailed out of bankruptcy at least once by the "Russian Mob". So how much money does Trump owe the Russian mob? Isn't this a national security issue?

Let's see what the MSM reports from the newly released Senate intelligence report which exposes the testimony from CrowdStrike that they could not even tell if the Russians had really hacked the DNC at all or if they did what exactly was stolen.

Here is the breaking news from the Senate Report:

Senate provides proof Trump colluded with the Russians!!!!

What a bunch of lying scumbags.

The Epoch Times? Seriously? What’s wrong, couldn’t find anything in thegatewaypundit or InfoWars to post?

A sample of what The Epoch Times is best known for;
“Facebook took down more than 600 accounts tied to the pro-Trump conspiracy website The Epoch Times for using identities created by artificial intelligence to push stories about a variety of topics including impeachment and elections.

The network was called “The BL” and was run by Vietnamese users posing as Americans, using fake photos generated by algorithms to simulate real identities. The Epoch Media group, which pushes a variety of pro-Trump conspiracy theories, spent $9.5 million on ads to spread content through the now-suspended pages and groups.

What’s new here is that this is purportedly a U.S.-based media company leveraging foreign actors posing as Americans to push political content. We’ve seen it a lot with state actors in the past,” Facebook’s head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, said in an interview.”

Imagine that. A rag like Epoch Times got Henry's testimony before Congress right when no other major news outlet did. What a marvel!

"Henry testified that CrowdStrike was 'able to see some exfiltration and the types of files that had been touched' but not the content of those files," the Aug. 18 report says, citing the committee's interview with Shawn Henry, the head of the team from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which the DNC brought in to handle the breach on April 30, 2016. ...

Imagine that, a far right wing “news” organization that routinely peddles in outright lies and crazy ass conspiracy theories gets inside help from a far right, perpetually lying, conspiracy pushing administration. :roll:

Next, breaking news from OAN!

Leftist democrats continue to ignore the truth that CrowdStrike was the only group which was ever allowed to physically handle the DNC computers and their president testified under oath before Congress that they never actually found hard evidence the Russians hacked the DNC computers and stole emails.

Leftist democrats go all out to cloud the truth as they attempt to divert attention away from the fact that the whole Russian conspiracy theory lie was invented by democrats seeking to undermine Trump for evil political advantage.

Crowdstrike "CLAIMS". A claim is not proof of a damn thing. And 'Epoch Times', an obscure, far-right religious source nobody ever heard of? You really are scraping the bottom of the credibility barrel mate!:lol:

Want to give us a reference for this latest bit of nonsense or were you just trying to bring this IDIOT thread back to the top of page 1 again only to see it sink once more and get flushed where it belongs.

Gullible democrats believe some of the stupidest claims made by lying propagandists because the propagandists back up their claims with support from unrelated photos which don't support the lying narratives in any logical way.

Henry testified before Congress under oath. The record is clear whether democrats are happy about it or not. Henry said he had no evidence the Russians hacked the DNC computers and stole emails they gave to Assange.

I went into the Congressional Record itself and read Henry's testimony that democrats keep under wraps for so long but were forced to release recently. Henry said he had no evidence the Russians hacked the DNC computers, stole emails and delivered them to Assange. Read the record for yourself. Don't let liars fool you. Henry testified and his testimony is in the record no matter what the liars tell you to the contrary.

This issue was ignited again last week when leftist democrat news outlets claimed the newly released Senate Intelligence report showed that Trump colluded with Russians, which was a lie. Trump has talked with Russians. Everybody knows that, but it takes lying leftists supporting the democrat party to twist the facts into a lie which seems to support the disproved fake Russian collusion conspiracy theory invented by the DNC 4 years ago.

I suspect you don't know how digital forensics work, how assessments are generated or actually ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING. Beginning to wonder if Trumpets know enough to effectively wipe their own asses or even if they care to.


From testimony:
“MR. HENRY: So, to go back, because I think it’s important to characterize this. We didn’t have a network sensor in place that saw data leave’ We said that the data Ieft based on the circumstantial evidence. That was a conclusion that we made. when I answered that question, I was trying to be as factually accurate’ I want to provide the facts. so I said that we didn’t have direct evidence’ But we made a conclusion that the data left the network.”

HENRY: We said that we had a high degree of confidence it was the Russian Government. And our analysts that looked at it and that had looked at these types of attacks before, many different types of attacks similar to this in different environments, certain tools that were used, certain methods by which they were moving in the environment,and looking at the types of data that was being targeted, that it was consistent with a nation-state adversary and associated with Russian intelligence.

Well, when 'Henry' becomes a member of the US security and intelligence agencies and has access to the technology they have, I might start listening to Henry. Lots of people testify under oath; doesn't mean they're telling the truth.

You NEVER support your narrative with anything even remotely approaching a credible source; far-right blogs, conspiracy blogs and obscure religious websites and whatever you made up on the day is about the extent of your credibility. The troubling aspect of all this is that you, an adult, actually believe that tripe, without question!

So, to be honest, Henry admitted the facts did not force him to believe the Russians hacked the DNC and stole emails they delivered to Russia. But his gut feeling was that Russians did hack the DNC even though he could not prove it with hard evidence. That brings up another fact of democrat incompetence. Not only did the FBI not investigate the DNC computers themselves but they totally relied upon CrowdStrike to do the investigation, even though FBI officials testified the FBI had been tracking Russian hacking of American government computers for years and knew the DNC was under attack long before Trump ever announced his candidacy, proving that helping Trump could not have been a motive for the Russians even if they had hacked the DNC and stole the emails nobody could prove they stole.

There is another problem. Brennan was hired by Obama to put together an intelligence assessment of the alleged Russian hack, which he released in Jan. 2017. Obama and democrats claimed the report was backed by 17 intelligence agencies and proved Russia hacked the DNC on Trump's behalf which was a lie in several ways. First, it was not 17 intelligence agencies, but hand-picked partisans from just 3 agencies, one of which had no real business involving itself in the intelligence report anyway. But the real kicker about the intelligence report which should have raised red flags from every media source which covered the story was the fact that nobody from NSA was represented on the committee even though the NSA was the most important of all intelligence agencies because the NSA could prove who hacked the DNC computers and stole information, or if anyone did. But the NSA was not invited to get involved, which was a big failure on Brennan's part and gave rise to the rumor that he was deliberately hiding information which would prove the fake democrat Russian conspiracy theory was a lie.
 
Well, when 'Henry' becomes a member of the US security and intelligence agencies and has access to the technology they have, I might start listening to Henry. Lots of people testify under oath; doesn't mean they're telling the truth.

Considering Henry's lack of expertise and equipment, why did the FBI commit the investigation of the alleged Russian espionage to CrowdStrike instead of taking charge of the investigation themselves? Was it because Comey, Brennan, and Hillary did not want the FBI looking into the DNC computers?

The Congressional Record of sworn testimony is not a conspiracy blog.
 

From the above source:

HENRY: We said that we had a high degree of confidence it was the Russian Government. And our analysts that looked at it and that had looked at these types of attacks before, many different types of attacks similar to this in different environments, certain tools that were used, certain methods by which they were moving in the environment,and looking at the types of data that was being targeted, that it was consistent with a nation-state adversary and associated with Russian intelligence.

Several witnesses testified that the Russians had been hacking sensitive government computers for years, yet the FBI never opened a serious investigation nor warned the DNC of the alleged Russian hacks until after the DNC was notified by Assange that it had sensitive information stolen from the DNC computers. When the DNC became aware of the breach they did not contact the FBI, they hired a private firm to do the secret investigation of the allegations for some reason, presumably to keep the FBI from having access to the information in their computers.

Which was well within the DNC's rights. If you look, historically companies, political parities, ANYBODY avoids calling in the FBI where their computer data is concerned. When Trumpets get out of diapers they MIGHT be able to discuss these topics.

Ooh, I don't know. Consult one of your conspiracy theory blogs for the truth.
