IN THIS THREAD:
Smartech Corp, a subsidiary of Airnet Group., based in Chattanooga TN, was breached in late 2015, by Russian agents.

Smartech was, at one time, home to the information architecture of the RNC, innumerable republican campaigns, even congressional committees

under Dennis Hastert's leadership, including House Judiciary, Financial Services, Ways & Means, even House Intelligence Committee... 11/

all the sensitive information handled by those committees were hosted by GovTech, a sibling of SmarTech, hosted in the same facility: 12/

A basement of an old bank, in Chattanooga, TN. Security? Provided by....
Chain link fencing. https://t.co/jFhSDtg5f2

What else was on these servers? Other than the RNC's website, email, http://GOP.com

Hosting for email and websites for campaigns, state parties.
Hosting and call centers for the 04' Bush campaign, the '08 McCain campaign 15/

And this is where it starts to get good, folks. Perk up your ears, and feast on this - 16/

Remember: HRC wasn't the first to use an off-site email host...
Karl Rove had one too.

And while HRC lost about 33,000 emails, that 22,000,000 missing emails, confidential information and all: is a bit more significant. 18/

And all at SmarTech.
[side note: I'll give y'all a chance to ponder this, while I eat what hopefully isn't my last meal. It gets better.]

I'm sure what I share here is only the tip of the iceberg. I'm only sharing the info I have support for from the free press (mostly) 21/

What else did SmarTech have to offer a hostile agent who could gain access to their server farm?

Back in 2004, there was an irregularity in the presidential election in the state of Ohio. In the middle of the night, election night 25/
Ohio vote tallying servers started communicating with an external system.

One guess where that external server was? In the basement of an old bank in Chattanooga. At SmarTech. 27/

Based on communications and system architecture, experts said it was possible these communications could have tampered with vote counts 28/

And that's where this starts to drop into conspiracy theory land... as an OH lawyer moved towards filing RICO charges against purported 29/

Mastermind Karl Rove, after giving a deposition, the consultant in charge of designing the 'failover system' for the OH Sec of State... 30/

Mike Connell, also known as the President of SmarTech/GovTech et al., was purportedly threatened by Rove. 31/

32/ Subsequently, there were two or three suspected attempts at sabotage on Connell's private plane.

33/ The fourth time, he wasn't as lucky.

. . .

38/ But any hostile agent who gained access to those servers would gain access to any evidence which remains therein. Kompromatilicious.

39/ One more item on the wish list of any agents hoping to interfere in US would undoubtedly be a copy of the voter rolls. Guess what?

RNC VoterVault, after its genesis in an outsourced Indian code sweatshop, came to live in the basement at SmarTech.

42/ And while that code base was under development in Maharashtra, the company was hacked by RyDen - a Russian hacker.

43/ And what did that database contain? Obviously, voter data. But what else?

The GOP knows you don't like anchovies http://www.latimes.com/la-op-hamburger25jun25-story.html

44/ And also, enough to make you easily stalkable, if you're a woman. https://t.co/CFfqc3sRK9

45/ That's the overview of the _types_ of information contained on SmarTech servers. Tomorrow, specifics & the evidence.
