Was a Trump Server Communicating with Russia?

This spring, a group of computer scientists set out to determine whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign. They found something they weren’t expecting.

Interesting Excerpt:


"Earlier this month, the group of computer scientists passed the logs to Paul Vixie. In the world of DNS experts, there’s no higher authority. Vixie wrote central strands of the DNS code that makes the Internet work. After studying the logs, he concluded, “The parties were communicating in a secretive fashion. The operative word is secretive. This is more akin to what criminal syndicates do if they are putting together a project.” Put differently, the logs suggested that Trump and Alfa had configured something like a digital hotline connecting the two entities, shutting out the rest of the world, and designed to obscure its own existence. Over the summer, the scientists observed the communications trail from a distance."

This is a very technical type of article, but it's very interesting...

Watching Chris Cuomo

Because he is better than the hosts everyone complains about.

New Day on CNN...best morning news!

Time to focus on what we can control and stop focusing on what we can't...

We can't change Comey's actions.

We CAN recognize that as long as people are talking about this it hurts Hillary.

Sooo...let's STOP talking about it. The email crap is old news and a distraction.

So, I'm challenging everyone to find a pro-Hillary or anti-Trump article/story NOT related to Comey, emails or Huma and start a new thread.

Let's bury all this email garbage and get back on track!

PLEASE IGNORE any new or current threads about that thing that really does not matter!

Email servers 101: Why the FBI can quickly check if they have already seen these emails

There are two types of incoming mail servers...POP and IMAP. POP mail, by default, only goes to the first device that logs in to that account and does not go to all devices. If you delete an email from one device that is on a POP account it will only be deleted from that account. You can configure a POP mail account to keep a copy on the server but most people don't use POP mail anymore.

IMAP mail is the most common used type of incoming mail server. When you sign in to an IMAP account for the first time on a new device it will pull ALL of your old mail from the server to your device. If you delete an email on one device it will delete that email from the server AND all devices.

All the FBI investigators need to do is check to see if that email account is set up as IMAP and IF it is and they have already seen Huma's devices with that account then ALL of these emails are ones they have already seen.

So, regarding content...there is most likely nothing new. If they didn't find anything regarding Huma on other devices then there is almost certainly nothing on this one either.

What a white male retiree said to me while waiting in line to vote...(in Florida)

He told me that he is voting for Clinton because he has strong objections to the way Trump treats and talks about women.
He said he was a truck driver for many years and he never talked like that and can't condone it. He did not like Hillary and said he felt like he was voting for the lesser of the two evils...but he could not vote for Trump. He then told me that his wife likes Trump and is mad at him that he's voting Hillary. Then he grinned and leaned in closer to me and whispered, "Don't worry...she's Canadian and can't vote!"

This nasty woman is up early so she can go VOTE for Hillary!

That's right...I'm in a slightly red county in battleground Florida.

I say SCREW Trump, Comey and Chaffetz and their happy horseshit!

Take that you slimy little bastards!

Who's with me?

CNN is finally covering Huma's emails associated with WeinerGate accurately

If anyone is looking for coverage that doesn't make you throw shit at your TV.

Didn't Eric Trump's wife hint about the campaign having something up their sleeves?

So what I want to know is who in the FBI gave Trump's campaign a head's up and how long have they been sitting on this?


I hope that aspect is looked into and dealt with.

About NoGoodNamesLeft

Apparently if you don't care for Bernie Sanders or disagree with the incessant posts implying that all white people are racists you are not welcome on this site. Despite voting exclusively for Democrats for most of my life (I'm over 50 years old) I got relentlessly reported when I did not violate any rule simply because certain members did not like my viewpoint and wanted to censor me. There were a couple of the flags that I did deserve because I got so frustrated with being pig piled on when I stood up for what I honestly believe is right. My account was locked on February 26th. I emailed the administrators and have been ignored. Democrats cannot afford to alienate and silence people who vote for them. People disagree and that should be OK. The administrators need to pay closer attention to people who are serial post reporters. There ARE people on here who target people that disagree with them or accuse them of being trolls or right wingers and then get them banned. That is what happened to me. I'm not a troll or a conservative. I am a 50+ year old grandmother who is on the same side as everyone else on this site. It sure would be nice if the admins would actually review my account...it's been two months. If this how this site advocates for Democratic values and reaches out to voters...well, it's not doing a very dang good job.
