I just read this on Facebook.

Does anyone know anything about the article and/or the source?

http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/russian-email-donald-trump-betsy-devos-server/1484/

According to the article, there's a Russian connection between Trump's server and a Health Care Co. that has connections to Devos's family.

There's no mention of her brother, Erik Prince and Blackwater, but it does make one wonder if there are more connections than meet the eye at this point.

The Health Care Company mentioned in the article (Spectrum) provides contract services for military hospitals (ie, ER and Clinic staffing). I worked for them for awhile after retiring from the Navy, but was unaware of their connection to the Devos family.

Located in Michigan, where Assface ended his campaign?

Strange place for him to hold his final rally...

It's so hard to tell these days what's legit and what's not. I've seen a few reports on that site that were also listed on several other sites that I know are legit, but I don't want to post anything that is "iffy".
