Trump Ordered the Release of Sensitive Intelligence at Sean Hannity’s Request

https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2018/09/19/19-sean-hannity-white-house.w700.h467.jpg

On Monday, Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-press-secretary-34/)to declassify highly sensitive materials related to an ongoing investigation into his own campaign and administration.

Specifically, the president demanded (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/05/this-senator-wants-to-make-foreign-policy-progressive-again.html) the release of a variety of

classified documents related to the FISA warrant application that the FBI submitted to monitor Carter Page;

all FBI reports of interviews with senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr (who communicated with former British spy and “dodgy dossier” author, Christopher Steele);

and every text message that James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr ever sent about the Russia investigation.

The president stipulated that said text messages were

to be made public “without redaction,”

ostensibly ordering the Justice Department to disclose sensitive intelligence sources and methods if that is what full transparency requires.

This was an audacious exercise of Executive authority, even by Trump’s formidable standards.

Not only was the president interfering in an active investigation (in which he has a blatant conflict of interest),

he was also potentially jeopardizing the security of American intelligence assets,

and/or the comfort that foreign intelligence agencies have in sharing their secrets with the United States

the president doesn’t need to declassify intelligence in order to access it.

So he must have already found something that the public needed to know so desperately,

concerns about obstruction of justice and national security were mere afterthoughts.

Buck Sexton: Have you reviewed the memos yourself? What do you expect them to show, if so?


President Trump: I have not reviewed them. :lol

When fascism comes to America, it will be because a Fox News segment producer took Judge Jeanine’s “Opening Statement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQzSD3hFBI)” a tad too far.

How this interview,

which garnered big ratings for NBC and became a frequently rewatched segment,

Trump adds more Russians who interfered in the 2016 election to a sanctions list

Is Trump finally getting tough on Russia?

President Donald Trump (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-authorizing-implementation-certain-sanctions-set-forth-countering-americas-adversaries-sanctions-act/) has expanded a US sanctions list of Russians that interfered in the 2016 presidential election — one of his toughest moves yet against a country he says didn’t meddle at all.

On Thursday afternoon, the State Department announced that the administration

identified 33 individuals and entities (https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2018/09/286077.htm) — including oligarchs, a troll farm, and a mercenary group — for their connections to Russia’s defense and intelligence sectors.

Putting them on the list is meant to “impose costs on Russia in response to its interference in the United States election process, its unacceptable behavior in eastern Ukraine, and other malign activities,”

according to a State Department fact sheet (https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2018/09/286077.htm).

It’s also meant to deter other people from doing business or interacting with individuals and entities on the list.

So … Who Tattled on Rod Rosenstein to the New York Times?

On Friday, the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/us/politics/rod-rosenstein-wear-wire-25th-amendment.html) that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed invoking the 25th Amendment process (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/05/no_the_25th_amendment_is_not_the_solution.html) for removing an incapacitated president in the chaotic aftermath of FBI Director James Comey’s May 2017 firing.

The paper also says that Rosenstein, who supervises Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation of Trump-Russia connections, also discussed on multiple occasions the idea of “secretly recording” Trump.

Rosenstein told the Times its story was “inaccurate and factually incorrect” and that

he does not believe there are 25th Amendment grounds to remove the president;

one or more Rosenstein-friendly sources have already told a number (https://www.weeklystandard.com/michael-warren/rosenstein-disputes-nyt-claim-that-he-wanted-to-record-trump) of outlets (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rod-rosenstein-donald-trump-25th-amendment_us_5ba53007e4b069d5f9d29afa) that the deputy AG’s comments about wearing a wire were made in jest.

Trump supporters in the hard-right media have nonetheless called for Rosenstein to be fired:

Trump Vows to Get Rid of ‘Lingering Stench’ at Department of Justice

Trump told the raucous rally crowd that while

“we have great people in the Department of Justice,”

there are “some real bad ones” too.

“You’ve seen what’s happened at the FBI. They’re all gone,” Trump said.

“They’re all gone. They’re all gone.

But there’s a lingering stench we’re going to get rid of that, too.”

Russia's Divisive Twitter Campaign Took A Rare Consistent Stance: Pro-Gun


https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2018/09/20/ap_18048365843372-ef48b8d4ae017b0b942eec3e46efb2bda14fd9a6-s1500-c85.jpg

Russia's influence campaign on Twitter pushed pro-gun and pro-National Rifle Association messages during the 2016 election and beyond — a rare example of consistency in a scheme that mostly sought to play up extremes on the left and right.

On every issue, from race to health care, women's rights to police brutality, gay marriage to global warming, accounts associated with

the Internet Research Agency (https://www.npr.org/2018/02/17/586698361/the-russia-investigations-mueller-indicts-the-internet-research-agency) sought to amplify controversy by playing up conflict.
Except when it came to guns and the NRA.

The NRA declined to comment for this story. :lol


The scale

Of the accounts that talked about guns, 60 percent were pro-NRA and pro-gun, while only 15 percent were opposed.

And of the content the Internet Research Agency produced that mentioned firearms, guns, the Second Amendment or the NRA, 77 percent of the posts were pro-NRA and pro-gun.

Russian Twitter Accounts Pushed Pro-Gun Messages

Of the known Internet Research Agency accounts that talked about guns,

60 percent were pro-NRA or pro-gun.

The tweets produced by those accounts were even more strongly pro-NRA:

More than ¾ conveyed pro-gun or pro-NRA messages.

Pro-NRA and pro-gun messages had more than 32.4 million potential impressions;

anti-gun and anti-NRA messages had fewer than 6.7 million potential impressions.

The pro-NRA messages had nearly five times the reach as did the anti-NRA messages.

The tweets are overwhelmingly supportive of gun ownership and speak about the NRA in positive terms. There was comparatively little anti-NRA content.

"It's 100 percent an anomaly ... The gun debate has all the hallmarks of a typical tool in their tool set — but they only use half of it."

https://www.npr.org/2018/09/21/648803459/russias-2016-twitter-campaign-was-strongly-pro-gun-with-echoes-of-the-nra?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20180923&utm_campaign=&utm_term=

The entire country witnessed Trump fire the man heading the investigation into this Russia attack and then brag to Lester Holt and the Russians that he indeed fired comey because of - this Rusher thing.

How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump

A meticulous analysis of online activity during the 2016 campaign makes a powerful case that targeted cyberattacks by hackers and trolls were decisive.

new book from, of all places, Oxford University Press promises to be incendiary.

“Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President—What We Don’t, Can’t, and Do Know,”

by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of communications at the University of Pennsylvania,

dares to ask—and even attempts to answer—whether Russian meddling had a decisive impact in 2016.

Jamieson offers a forensic analysis of the available evidence and

concludes that Russia very likely delivered Trump’s victory.

Jamieson makes a strong case that, in 2016,

“Russian masterminds” pulled off a technological and political coup.

Mueller's most impressive conviction so far - that of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort - had nothing to do with the election and involved old lobbying crimes that the FBI knew about since 2014.

And Mueller's most convincing indictments - those of the Russians who stole Clinton's emails and used Facebook for psy ops - go out of their way to say no Americans were willingly involved.

The House Intelligence Committee also has reported it found no Trump-Russia collusion after an exhaustive search.

Thus, today's prevailing question is far less about a still unproven alliance between Moscow and Trump. Rather, it is whether Trump-hating bureaucrats inside the U.S. intelligence community abused their position to mislead the nation's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in an effort to negate Trump's election victory.

As one senator who has read most of the classified documents told me last week, "the real question we must now answer is did U.S. intel conspire with a foreign spy, a Democratic campaign and a few foreign allies to attempt a soft coup against the man Americans chose as president?”

https://thehill.com/HillTV/rising/408850-mr-president-tear-down-the-wall-hiding-those-fisa-abuses?amp&__twitter_impression=true


House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) - a member of Congress's "Gang of Eight" that was briefed more than anyone else about the inadequacies of the Russia evidence - believes you should declassify. His office told me so today.

"Upon redaction of sources and methods, the speaker supports the president's decision to declassify the documents to bring about more transparency regarding potential FISA abuses," he said.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), long a respected voice inside your party on issues of law enforcement and security, promises the documents will prove that the FBI and DOJ committed a fraud upon the FISA court.

"I urge the president to release them. I believe what it will show is that the FBI and the DOJ held back important information from the FISA court and that some of the information they gave turned out to be misleading," King told Hill.TV's Alison Spann. He added that "there is nothing there that would really hurt any foreign government."

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) insists the documents will prove the FBI and the DOJ signed applications for FISA warrants to surveil the Trump campaign that omitted essential derogatory information about the sources and exculpatory information about the accused.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a lawmaker whom the president's party has entrusted with high-profile investigations in the past and who has read much of the classified evidence present, goes further. He not only advocates releasing the documents, he provocatively suggests it may raise questions about former CIA Director John Brennan's conduct.

Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), two more Republicans who are deep into the evidence, are certain that the evidence will prove the FBI used its "crushing" investigative powers just to further flimsy political opposition research.

Pootin queering, meddling in another country's vote

Russia 'orchestrating covert campaign to wreck Macedonia name change vote'

Russia is waging a covert propaganda campaign to torpedo a referendum in Macedonia this weekend which could

pave the way for the small Balkan country to join Nato and the EU

Moscow is vehemently opposed to Nato enlargement in the Balkans,

which it regards as its sphere of influence, and

has allegedly flooded social media in Macedonia with false accounts calling for a boycott of the referendum.

Thousands of fake Twitter and Facebook accounts with the hashtag #Bojkotiram, meaning "boycott" in Macedonian, have appeared in recent weeks,

The objective appears to be to reduce the turnout of the referendum to under 50 per cent of eligible voters, meaning it would lack legitimacy.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/09/27/russia-orchestrating-covert-campaign-wreck-macedonia-name-change/

Retraction: Aaron Rich and the murder of Seth Rich

By Washington Times Staff - - Sunday, September 30, 2018

The Washington Times published an op-ed column titled, “More cover-up questions: The curious murder of Seth Rich poses questions that just won’t stay under the official rug,” by Adm. James Lyons (Ret.) (the “Column”), on March 1 online and on March 2 in its paper editions. The Column included statements about Aaron Rich, the brother of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, that we now believe to be false.

One such statement was that: “Interestingly, it is well known in the intelligence circles that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron Rich, downloaded the DNC emails and was paid by Wikileaks for that information.” The Washington Times now does not have any basis to believe any part of that statement to be true, and The Washington Times retracts it in its entirety.

The Column also stated: “Also, why hasn’t Aaron Rich been interviewed [by law enforcement], and where is he?” The Washington Times understands that law enforcement officials have interviewed Mr. Rich and that he has cooperated with their investigation. The Washington Times did not intend to imply that Mr. Rich has obstructed justice in any way, and The Washington Times retracts and disavows any such implication.

The Washington Times apologizes to Mr. Rich and his family. All online copies of the Column have been deleted and all online content referencing the Column has been deleted to the extent within The Washington Times’ control.

U.S. would destroy banned Russian warheads if necessary: NATO envoy

Russia must halt its covert development of a banned cruise missile system or

the United States will seek to destroy it before it becomes operational, Washington’s envoy to NATO said on Tuesday.

The United States believes Russia is developing a ground-launched system in breach of a Cold War treaty that could allow Russia to launch a nuclear strike on Europe at short notice, but Moscow has consistently denied any such violation.

“At that point, we would be looking at the capability to take out a (Russian) missile that could hit any of our countries,”

“Counter measures (by the United States) would be to take out the missiles that are in development by Russia in violation of the treaty,” she added. “They are on notice.”

Understanding why the FBI moved an apparently unrelated case to Robert Mueller might explain a lot (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/2/1800829/-Understanding-why-the-FBI-moved-an-apparently-unrelated-case-to-Robert-Mueller-might-explain-a-lot)

Jacobus was also fighting with Trump’s team. A regular Fox News commentator during the primaries, she was singled out as a “dummy” in one of Trump’s tweets and attacked in the press by Lewandowski.

Then the summer of 2016,

Jacobus’s email and online files were hacked and the contents of her accounts deleted.

It was all enough to trigger an FBI investigation … and

now that investigation has been turned over to Robert Mueller.

The referral adds yet another dimension to the special counsel’s sprawling probe,

even as some of President Donald Trump’s allies portray Mueller’s work as nearing its conclusion.


They’d like to think Mueller’s investigation is almost done. But it’s not.

There was clearly animosity between the Trump campaign and Cheri Jacobus.

What ultimately happened to Jacobus certainly echoed the attacked on Democratic organizations and

individuals during the same time period.

But the DNC and others like John Podesta

had their emails hacked by Russian operatives for the purpose of assisting the Trump campaign.

Did the FBI forward Jacobus’s case to Mueller because they had come to suspect that the same operatives might have raided her email?

the combination of hacking and connections to the Trump campaign was enough to pull the case in.

But if Russian hackers were actively going after someone in 2016,

right after Trump and his campaign operatives pointed that person out as a problem,

that would certainly be … interesting.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1800829

So did Trump tell Pootin to hack Jacobus whom he was fighting with? Trash did ask Pootin to hack/find Hillary's deleted emails

Putin: Skripal Not Rights Defender, But 'Traitor' and 'Scumbag'

kripal is a 'Traitor'

Vladimir Putin commented on the Skripal case, saying that Sergei Skripal is a spy and a traitor to his homeland.


"As for the Skripals and so on, this spy scandal has been fostered artificially.

I am looking through some information sources and your colleagues are pushing the thought that Mr. Skripal is almost some kind of human rights activist. He is just a spy, a traitor to the motherland …

Imagine: you are a citizen of your own country and all of a sudden there is a person who betrays his motherland.

How would you treat him?

He is just a scumbag, that is all,"

the president said.

According to Putin, the sooner this information campaign around Skripal ends, the better.

The president also said that he was surprised to hear that someone believed in Russia's involvement in the poisoning incident in the city of Amesbury on June 30 that left one person, who lived in a hostel for homeless, dead and one more injured.


"Do you want to say that we have also poisoned a homeless person?

I am surprised to hear all these rumors on this case:

some guys arrived in the United Kingdom and started to poison homeless persons there.

That is absurd," Putin added.

Collusion bombshell: DNC lawyers met with FBI on Russia allegations before surveillance warrant

Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump's campaign.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee's private law firm.

That's the firm used by the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign to secretly pay research firm Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative, to compile a dossier of uncorroborated raw intelligence alleging Trump and Moscow were colluding to hijack the presidential election.

The dossier, though mostly unverified, was then used by the FBI as the main evidence seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign in the final days of the campaign.

The revelation was confirmed both in contemporaneous evidence and testimony secured by a joint investigation by Republicans on the House Judiciary and Government Oversight committees, my source tells me.

It means the FBI had good reason to suspect the dossier was connected to the DNC's main law firm and was the product of a Democratic opposition-research effort to defeat Trump - yet failed to disclose that information to the FISA court in October 2016, when the bureau applied for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

"This is a bombshell that unequivocally shows the real collusion was between the FBI and Donald Trump's opposition - the DNC, Hillary and a Trump-hating British intel officer - to hijack the election, rather than some conspiracy between Putin and Trump," a knowledgeable source told me.

Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI.

The sources also said Baker's interview broke new ground both about the FBI's use of news media in 2016 and 2017 to further the Trump case and about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's conversations in spring 2017 regarding possible use of a body wire to record Trump.

"The interview was one of the most productive we had and it opened up many new investigative leads," one source said.

Another said Baker could not answer some questions about FBI media contacts, citing an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department inspector general into alleged illegal leaks, during and after the election, about the Trump collusion probe and other matters.

These revelations illustrate anew how much the FBI and Justice Department have withheld from the public about their collaboration and collusion with clearly partisan elements of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, Fusion and Steele, that were trying to defeat Trump.

West accuses 'pariah state' Russia of global hacking campaign

Western countries issued coordinated denunciations of Russia on Thursday for running what they described as computer hacking programs to undermine democracies, targeting institutions from sports anti-doping bodies to the chemical weapons watchdog.

In some of the strongest language aimed at Moscow since the Cold War, Britain said Russia had become a “pariah state”.

The United States said Moscow must be made to pay the price for its actions. And their allies around the world issued stark assessments of what they described as a campaign of hacking by Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency.

Britain and the Netherlands accused Russia of sending agents with computer gear and wifi antennas to the Hague, to try to hack into the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The accusations were unveiled at briefings around the globe that were held as NATO defense ministers gathered in Brussels to present a united front to their Cold War-era foe.

“This is not the actions of a great power, these are the actions of a pariah state,” British Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson told reporters.

"The problem persisted in the aftermath of the election with four million tweets to fake and conspiracy news publishers found from mid-March to mid-April 2017," the report reads.

"A large majority of these accounts are still active today."

Rohrabacher's brushes with Russia probe complicate his reelection bid

When President Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to assorted federal crimes in mid-September, court papers cited his lobbying of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, an Orange County Republican, as part of the illicit scheme.

The prosecutors did not say Rohrabacher is suspected of wrongdoing.

But Rohrabacher’s dealings with Manafort, his public defenses of Russia’s authoritarian president, Vladimir Putin, and his efforts with advocates pushing Moscow’s agenda in Washington remain a puzzle — and a potential problem — as he fights for his political survival in the Nov. 6 election.

In May 2016, for example, when Rohrabacher sought to change a U.S. law that Putin opposed, the congressman proposed an amendment (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4956455-Magnitsky-Act.html) that mirrored talking points (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4956509-Talking-points-for-Magnitsky-Bill.html) given to him by a Russia-affiliated lobbyist, The Times found. Rohrabacher failed to persuade his colleagues to make the change.

More than any other member of Congress, he has vehemently rejected U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusions that a Kremlin-backed operation hacked digital files from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and funneled much of the material to WikiLeaks.

The anti-secrecy website posted thousands of the stolen emails online before the 2016 election, wreaking havoc on the Democrats.


Rohrabacher also sought, unsuccessfully, to broker a deal to shield Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, from potential U.S. prosecution for posting the stolen emails.

Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?

A team of computer scientists sifted through records of unusual Web traffic in search of answers.

“We thought there was no way in the world the Russians would just attack the Democrats,” one of the computer scientists, who asked to be identified only as Max, told me.

“People think the Internet runs on its own,” Max told me. “It doesn’t. We do this to keep the Internet safe.”

The hack of the D.N.C. seemed like a pernicious attack on the integrity of the Web, as well as on the American political system.

The scientists decided to investigate whether any Republicans had been hacked, too. “We were trying to protect them,” Max said.

As Max and his colleagues searched D.N.S. logs for domains associated with Republican candidates, they were perplexed by what they encountered.

“We went looking for fingerprints similar to what was on the D.N.C. computers, but we didn’t find what we were looking for,” Max told me.

“We found something totally different—something unique.”

The server that housed the domain belonged to a company called Listrak, which mostly helped deliver mass-marketing e-mails:

the one that Max and his colleagues spotted appeared not to be sending anything. At the same time, though, a very small group of companies seemed to be trying to communicate with it.

Examining records for the Trump domain,

Max’s group discovered D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia.

Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable:

between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times.

“We were watching this happen in real time—it was like watching an airplane fly by,” Max said. “And we thought,

Why the hell is a Russian bank communicating with a server that belongs to the Trump Organization, and at such a rate?”

Only one other entity seemed to be reaching out to the Trump Organization’s domain with any frequency:

Spectrum Health, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Spectrum Health is closely linked to the DeVos family;

Richard DeVos, Jr., is the chairman of the board,

Mueller has been looking into Prince’s meeting, following the election, with a Russian official in the Seychelles, at which he reportedly discussed setting up a back channel between Trump and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. (

Why was the Trump Organization’s domain, set up to send mass-marketing e-mails, conducting such meagre activity?

And why were computers at Alfa Bank and Spectrum Health trying to reach a server that didn’t seem to be doing anything? After analyzing the data, Max said,

“We decided this was a covert communication channel.”

he and his lawyer decided to hand over the findings to Eric Lichtblau, of the Times. Lichtblau met with Max, and began to look at the data.

Lichtblau shared the data with three leading computer scientists, and, like Max, they were struck by the unusual traffic on the server.

As Lichtblau talked to experts, he became increasingly convinced that the data suggested a substantive connection.

“Not only is there clearly something there but there’s clearly something that someone has gone to great lengths to conceal,”

“These people who should not be communicating are clearly communicating,”

the Bureau had intelligence from informants suggesting a possible connection between the Trump Organization and Russian banks, but no data.

It was very important to the Bureau. It was urgent.”

For four days, the servers at Alfa Bank kept trying to look up the Trump domain. Then, ten minutes after the last attempt, one of them looked up another domain, which had been configured to lead to the same Trump Organization server.

He reasoned that someone representing Alfa Bank had alerted the Trump Organization, which shut down the domain, set up another one, and then informed Alfa Bank of the new address.

This March, after

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced that it had found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, :lol

the committee’s Democrats filed a dissent, arguing that

there were many matters still to be investigated, including the Trump Organization’s connections to Alfa Bank.

The Democrats implored the majority to force Cendyn to turn over computer data that would help determine what had happened.

Those records could show who in the Trump Organization used the server.

There would probably also be a record of who shut down the Trump domain after the Times contacted Alfa Bank.

Cendyn might have records of any outgoing communications sent by the Trump Organization. But the request for further investigation is unlikely to proceed as long as Republicans hold the majority.

“We’ve all looked at the data, and it doesn’t look right,” a congressional staffer told me. “But how do you get to the truth?”

The enigma, for now, remains an enigma.

The only people likely to finally resolve the question of Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization are federal investigators.

Max told me that no one in his group had been contacted. But, he said, it wasn’t necessary for anyone in the F.B.I. to talk to him, if the agents gathered the right information from other sources, like Listrak and Cendyn.

Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?

A team of computer scientists sifted through records of unusual Web traffic in search of answers.

“We thought there was no way in the world the Russians would just attack the Democrats,” one of the computer scientists, who asked to be identified only as Max, told me.

“People think the Internet runs on its own,” Max told me. “It doesn’t. We do this to keep the Internet safe.”

The hack of the D.N.C. seemed like a pernicious attack on the integrity of the Web, as well as on the American political system.

The scientists decided to investigate whether any Republicans had been hacked, too. “We were trying to protect them,” Max said.

As Max and his colleagues searched D.N.S. logs for domains associated with Republican candidates, they were perplexed by what they encountered.

“We went looking for fingerprints similar to what was on the D.N.C. computers, but we didn’t find what we were looking for,” Max told me.

“We found something totally different—something unique.”

The server that housed the domain belonged to a company called Listrak, which mostly helped deliver mass-marketing e-mails:

the one that Max and his colleagues spotted appeared not to be sending anything. At the same time, though, a very small group of companies seemed to be trying to communicate with it.

Examining records for the Trump domain,

Max’s group discovered D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia.

Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable:

between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times.

“We were watching this happen in real time—it was like watching an airplane fly by,” Max said. “And we thought,

Why the hell is a Russian bank communicating with a server that belongs to the Trump Organization, and at such a rate?”

Only one other entity seemed to be reaching out to the Trump Organization’s domain with any frequency:

Spectrum Health, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Spectrum Health is closely linked to the DeVos family;

Richard DeVos, Jr., is the chairman of the board,

Mueller has been looking into Prince’s meeting, following the election, with a Russian official in the Seychelles, at which he reportedly discussed setting up a back channel between Trump and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. (

Why was the Trump Organization’s domain, set up to send mass-marketing e-mails, conducting such meagre activity?

And why were computers at Alfa Bank and Spectrum Health trying to reach a server that didn’t seem to be doing anything? After analyzing the data, Max said,

“We decided this was a covert communication channel.”

he and his lawyer decided to hand over the findings to Eric Lichtblau, of the Times. Lichtblau met with Max, and began to look at the data.

Lichtblau shared the data with three leading computer scientists, and, like Max, they were struck by the unusual traffic on the server.

As Lichtblau talked to experts, he became increasingly convinced that the data suggested a substantive connection.

“Not only is there clearly something there but there’s clearly something that someone has gone to great lengths to conceal,”

“These people who should not be communicating are clearly communicating,”

the Bureau had intelligence from informants suggesting a possible connection between the Trump Organization and Russian banks, but no data.

It was very important to the Bureau. It was urgent.”

For four days, the servers at Alfa Bank kept trying to look up the Trump domain. Then, ten minutes after the last attempt, one of them looked up another domain, which had been configured to lead to the same Trump Organization server.

He reasoned that someone representing Alfa Bank had alerted the Trump Organization, which shut down the domain, set up another one, and then informed Alfa Bank of the new address.

This March, after

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced that it had found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, :lol

the committee’s Democrats filed a dissent, arguing that

there were many matters still to be investigated, including the Trump Organization’s connections to Alfa Bank.

The Democrats implored the majority to force Cendyn to turn over computer data that would help determine what had happened.

Those records could show who in the Trump Organization used the server.

There would probably also be a record of who shut down the Trump domain after the Times contacted Alfa Bank.

Cendyn might have records of any outgoing communications sent by the Trump Organization. But the request for further investigation is unlikely to proceed as long as Republicans hold the majority.

“We’ve all looked at the data, and it doesn’t look right,” a congressional staffer told me. “But how do you get to the truth?”

The enigma, for now, remains an enigma.

The only people likely to finally resolve the question of Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization are federal investigators.

Max told me that no one in his group had been contacted. But, he said, it wasn’t necessary for anyone in the F.B.I. to talk to him, if the agents gathered the right information from other sources, like Listrak and Cendyn.

“I hope Mueller has all of it,” he said. ♦

Trump is a criminal-period.

He has to answer for crimes committed. No one is above the law. Mueller has got him and will give Trump an out - because he is the sitting president. I don't like it - but I understand why.

The criminal will not pass on a chance to keep his ass out of criminal prosecution. He will attempt to save face and claim victory while leaving the office and not running again.

Or he can face the consequences of his crimes and see his kids get indicted/prosecuted. He won't.

He will attempt to save face and claim victory while leaving the office and not running again. You don't get it.

The reason that Mueller won't indict and DJT won't step down (or refuse to run for reelection) are identical: the sitting president can't be indicted, per the prevailing DOJ custom. It's hard to imagine anything more conducive to the notion the DOJ is undertaking a slow motion coup against DJT, than changing the rules midstream to allow the special counsel to indict the president.


Or he can face the consequences of his crimes and see his kids get indicted/prosecuted. He won't.Normally, that would be considered a powerful lever.

Trump is only interested in lining his pockets, looting the country and enriching his fraudulent empire and his rich buddies - who will in return - do shit for him - cover crimes for him, etc.

In other words he will do what any common criminal would do.

So - he will have an easy choice. By 2020 he will have committed more fraud, made more money illegally and he will be staring at either;
a) see his kids indicted and keep running his fraud presidency while his family gets prosecuted
b) take Muellers deal and step down saving face, retaining his dignity (in the brainwashed cults' minds), keep his kids out of prison - and get away scot-free again from his crimes.

Rachel Maddow Sends Trump Reeling With New Russia Secret Communications Bombshell

Rachel Maddow said that Democrats are ready with subpoenas and set to investigation the line of secret communication that existed between Trump Tower and Russia largest private bank.

Video:

Maddow said:

In other words, if there really was this story that’s been so intriguing for two years now,

if there really was secret line of communications set up between trump tower and Moscow during the election,

one they tried to cover up,

that could be sort of the missing link involving how involved the trunk campaign was

in Russia’s efforts to interfere on the election on Trump’s behalf.

If anybody really wants to figure out whether that secret line of communication was there,

it’s doable.

You could probably figure it they could probably do it with just a couple of subpoenas.

And in fact, if Democrats win the house four weeks from tonight,

it look likes Democrats are ready to go with subpoenas to get that information.

Which means we’d finally have an answer.

Now, one does, of course, wonder if Robert Mueller and his prosecutors have already beaten the Democrats there either

before Dexter Filkins published this piece (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign) or since it has been out.

I think they should be prosecuted as soon as Mueller delivers the proof.
They won't.

But they can be prosecuted after Trump leaves office - Trump can be indicted also after he leaves.
Since the cult will not care - Trump could conceivably run again and possibly win -

except the crimes he committed will have to be accounted for.

Mueller could give him a choice - for the good of the country - Trump has to resign or face indictments to him and his family. Trump will take the deal and forego his run.

Former FBI Agent Explains Why Mueller’s Russia Investigation Is Unstoppable —

Even If Trump Fires Rod Rosenstein

To begin with, there is no such thing as a single ‘Russia investigation.’

Trump could very well fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in an effort to slow down the Mueller investigation, but

his replacement would be hard pressed to shut down the various avenues FBI agents have already gone down.
“To begin with, there is no such thing as a single ‘Russia investigation.’

The F.B.I. pursues cases against individuals and organizations, not topics —

this allows each case to have the flexibility to go in the direction the evidence leads, regardless of what happens with other, related cases,” Rangappa wrote.

“After the Sept. 11 attacks, for example, ‘Pentbomb’ was the umbrella name for hundreds of discrete cases on the hijackers, their networks and Al Qaeda.”

Writing

“Existing cases spawn new cases. This is especially true of counterintelligence and conspiracy investigations,”

she added,

“The current Russia investigation, originally referred to in the F.B.I. as ‘Crossfire Hurricane,’ isn’t just a single case on Russian election meddling.

Rather, at this stage it is a spider web of tens or dozens of cases

on intelligence officers, their agents and individuals and organizations helping Russia that are investigated independently, cross-referencing pertinent information to other cases as necessary.”

“No case agent worth their salt would remain quiet if their cases were closed in the face of a continuing threat,”

she wrote.

“To ‘shut down’ the investigation at this point

would require not just a face-off with Mr. Mueller but also with special agents in charge of multiple field offices with a vested interest in seeing their responsibilities through, and

possibly even a battle with the F.B.I. director, Christopher Wray.”

And then there are the elements of the investigation that are already entrenched in the courts —

putting them beyond the reach on the Justice Department.

Trump says using stolen information not a crime, as more Russia connections are confirmed (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/10/1803445/-Trump-says-using-stolen-information-not-a-crime-as-Russia-connections-get-more-confirmations)

Using stolen information, say Trump’s lawyers, is protected free speech. :lol

new information has appeared on two long dangling threads of the Russia investigation.

A new connection has been drawn between former national security advisor Michael Flynn and a Republican strategist who reached out to Russian hackers.

And that Russian bank that was communicating with the Trump Organization seems less like a coincidence, and more like … a Russian bank communicating with the Trump Organization.

A report in the Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/trump-campaign-defends-wikileaks-use-hacked-dnc-emails/572587/) covers the lawsuit filed by donors and employees of the Democratic National Committee after

information stolen from their email servers by Russian hackers was used by both the Trump campaign and Trump adviser Roger Stone.

That “did not participate in the theft” is an amazingly exact standard,

considering that the Trump campaign may not have been directly involved in the theft,

but was certainly aware that the material was stolen, and

worked with WikiLeaks and others to disseminate the stolen goods.

The other standard, “the information deals with matters of public concern,” is even more vague.

The emails stolen were not government information and not connected to any crime.

this motion seems to be testing language that could be part of an argument from the Trump team when special counsel Robert Mueller issues a final report.

new information draws a firm connection between former GOP strategist Peter Smith,

who committed suicide last year, and

the raising of money to be used to locate … Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Before he committed suicide in 2017, Smith took money from several Republican donors, telling them that he was on the trail of emails from Hillary Clinton’s personal server.

Over a year ago, reports surfaced that

Russian hackers were trying to obtain this information and pass it to Michael Flynn. (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/30/1676675/-Operative-who-colluded-with-Russians-to-get-emails-to-Michael-Flynn-was-one-piece-of-puzzle)

Smith formed a company and collected money to pay hackers for what he claimed was a copy of Hillary Clinton’s “deleted emails.”

Smith claimed that many people had copies of the emails, and that he had sent copies to WikiLeaks.

However, investigators have found no evidence that Clinton’s personal server was ever breached.

a very different connection is drawing fresh attention.

The New Yorker reports (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign) that the odd chatter between a Russian bank and a server based in Trump Tower now looks less like a coincidence, and more like communication.


In June, 2017,

Trump nominated Brian Benczkowski, a lawyer who had overseen the Stroz Friedberg report for Alfa Bank, :lol

to lead the criminal division of the Justice Department. :lol

Republicans confirmed Benczkowski in July. :lol


Trump’s advocates claimed that the

investigations sponsored by Alfa Bank :lol

had proved :lol that Alfa and the Trump Organization were not communicating. :lol

In fact, they sidestepped the question. Mandiant, one of the cybersecurity firms, said that it was unable to inspect the bank’s D.N.S. logs from 2016, because Alfa retained such records for only twenty-four hours.

The other firm, Stroz Friedberg, gave the same explanation for why it, too, was “unable to verify” the data.
