For Whom Did Donald's Server Toll? Trump, Putin and Alfa BankNote: This essay was first published on November 22, 2016. Shortly after, the essay was hacked. When the author clicked on the link to view the story, a large image of FBI Director James Comey would appear on the screen instead. The author recognized the photograph to be one that accompanied a news story about Director Comey testifying before Congress. The author then began to receive a security alert message when linking to the story. The alert stated that the identity of the website lawnewz.com could not be verified. (Lawnewz.com is ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams website.) You might be connected to a website that is pretending to be lawnewz.com, the alert said, which could put your confidential information at risk.
The author does not believe that this essay, the only one of four essays exploring possible Donald Trump ties to Russia published by the author in the month following the November 2016 national election to be hacked, was done so by either the FBI (too obvious) or by Dan Abrams lawnewz.com. The question then becomes, who else would have a motive to hack into this essay and post a threatening image? Having some experience in being harassed for his political actions and views, the author suspects that the view that is expressed in this particular essay is hitting too close to comfort for some.

a statement made one week after the election by the US National Security Agency Director that there was a conscious effort by a nation-state to achieve a specific effect during the 2016 presidential campaign
a post-election comment posted on Facebook by the DNC staffer who led a team investigating Trump-Russia ties, a post which revealed that on Election Day, both the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice worked with an Anonymous-associated group of computer experts throughout the day to try to ward off Russian hacks of to more than half of our states computerized vote-counting systems
