    A good history of what will soon be destroying Trash and his presidency


    Russia-gate Began Like Watergate — With A Break-In That Few Noticed


    If there were a starting point for the political turmoil around members of Donald Trump's inner circle and their ties to Russia, it likely would be last June 15.

    On that day, news broke of a computer penetration. It seemed like a minor event and was barely noted in newscasts, not unlike the famous political break-in 44 years earlier at the Watergate complex that became synonymous with political scandal.


    A cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, posted a blog item saying it had detected a series of intrusions into the network of the Democratic National Committee in Washington. The culprits, it said, were Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, nicknames of two highly skilled hacking units linked to the Russian security services.


    CrowdStrike said one of the units had been lurking on the DNC network for at least 10 months, and that both units had used sophisticated Remote Access Tools — fittingly called RATs — to maraud for do ents and emails.


    Those hacked emails would soon turn into a political weapon, leaked to the media in an effort to hurt presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Russian hack marked the beginning of a cascade of allegations about Russian influence on Trump's aides, steadily building to this week's troubles hounding Attorney General Jeff Sessions.


    Along the way, the rip-roaring scandal has ricocheted from hacked emails, and the sudden ouster of Trump's campaign manager, to a secret dossier with salacious content and on to wiretapped phone calls between Trump's national security adviser and Russia's ambassador. The scandal shows no signs of abating.

    DNC emails that revealed personal information about donors, cozy ties with media figures and evidence that the DNC was tilting the board in favor of Clinton over a rising challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

    The leak took an immediate toll: DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and three other senior party officials resigned on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia,

    "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

    The call ruffled the presidential race. By asking Russia, a longtime U.S. nemesis, to break American law and muck around in its computer networks, even if in a jocular tone, Trump was seen as breaking sharply from conventional Republican orthodoxy.

    Trump's appeal to Russia would soon boomerang.

    On Aug. 19, his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, stepped down amid allegations that he had accepted millions of dollars in cash from Russian interests in Ukraine. Manafort had also been involved in gutting the GOP platform of its anti-Russia stance.

    As the presidential race heated up, the White House faced new pressure to accuse Russia formally of meddling in the campaign.
    In early September, another cybersecurity firm, ThreatConnect, said Russian hackers appeared to be probing election databases in Arizona and Illinois, a possible prelude to broader interference in the November vote.

    It wasn't until Oct. 7 that the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a short statement saying U.S. intelligence agencies were "confident that the Russian government directed the recent compromises of emails from U.S. persons and ins utions, including from U.S. political organizations."

    So is it possible that Comey purposely released the Clinton letter to sink her campaign, so that he could keep building a massive amount of evidence against Trump/Russia?

    If it means that Bannon, Kellyanne, & the entire Trump camp in prison for treason, then bravo.

    There's more to it than that. Rumors are that Russia hacked the letter and they were going to release it or force Comey to. And he did. Now Comey is getting his revenge.

    Thanks.

    I never even saw that. Probably because it's tiny on my screen.
    And I have the same question. What did he do? He is irritating but unusually polite.

    I don't think AGW is a conspiracy, just not proven to be catastrophic. Next.
