Trump's 'Missing DNC Server' Is Neither Missing Nor a Server

[CatWoman]

Donald Trump turns to right-wing conspiracy theories when he’s cornered, and he was cornered on Monday. Standing feet away from Vladimir Putin at a press conference following their Helsinki tete-a-tete, a reporter challenged Trump to condemn Putin for Russia’s election interference, “in front of the world.”Instead, the world watched as the President of the United States took Putin’s side against his own Justice Department and his own intelligence agencies, and launched into a rambling discourse about Hillary Clinton’s emails and a supposedly missing DNC server that hides the truth about Putin’s innocence.

“You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server. Why didn’t they take the server? Where is the server, I want to know, and what is the server saying?”

The server is saying shut up.

The “server” Trump is obsessed with is actually 140 servers, most of them cloud-based, which the DNC was forced to decommission in June of 2016 while trying to rid its network of the Russian GRU officers working to help Trump win the election, according to the figures in the DNC’s civil lawsuit against Russia and the Trump campaign. Another 180 desktop and laptop computers were also swapped out as the DNC raced to get the organization back on its feet and free of Putin’s surveillance.

But despite Trump’s repeated feverish claims to the contrary, no machines are actually missing.

3. It is a good article

One point I do not understand is why Comey asked for direct access to the servers.


"At that same hearing, Comey complained that the DNC didn’t give the FBI direct access to the DNC’s servers. It’s unclear why Comey wanted the FBI operating on the DNC’s live network, but if the DNC demurred it wouldn’t be an unusual call, particularly five months before election day."

Now I have my suspicion. Either he didn't understand SOP and someone in that industry should do a Youtube educational video on it for us all (since so many don't read) or he was actually trying to screw with the functioning of the DNC. I am convinced that he was trying to keep Clinton from running up the score and having a Democratic Senate and House as well. He was sure that Clinton was going to win that he always erred on the side to benefit Trump (that was the reasoning used to fire him anyway).

6. Just have to

toss this thought in here because it has been haunting me for at least since his pre-election BS stunt...

What if Comey is a mole? Honestly, this has been a question troubling me since the election.
