You know DUers that Groper Don the Con is way more tied up in this Russian hacking

than HRC ever was in Benghazi. Indeed Benghazi happened because of ReTHUG cuts in spending at US overseas Embassies and Consulates .

I can't wait to see how this shit hits the fan.

What amazed me at the time was how quickly it turned into the anti-Hillary campaign. The usual suspects ran with it and that was that.

I will get my fan (Shakey Jake) in from the garage if you promise he's gonna get in a shitstorm over this.

My patience with this travesty is weaning thin.

.


Once they have the source and destination systems, they can back track and grab all of the prior DNS entries and filter on them. So if your personal computer or server switches IP addresses, once they have one of them... they will have all of them.

That corporate ISP logging, that the companies must adhere to, resolves this with a simple information request.

It will be easier to get domestic IP addresses, since the government has direct access to them. They also know which IPs are not domestic, or can follow intermediary hops within the US before the information leaves the country.

Then, they just apply the times the IP addresses changed to their archival system and they will have every byte sent.

If a file is encrypted, they have banks of parallel processing servers that can crack them in minutes to an hour.


It's just a matter of time and effort to get everything, and the motivation seems to be there now!

there and had dozens of his agents and operatives on the ground there before, during, and after the attack.

He was in charge and by Oct2012, every GOP congressman knew it. They just saw an opportunity to exploit the circumstances and perceptions to blame Clinton, because they knew the WH and State Dept would never expose a covert CIA mission in such a volatile region.

and that's the difference between ReTHUGs and Democrats - they don't give a flying fugg what they blow for political gain - Dems take the high road.
