on July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes (not megabits) of data were downloaded from the DNC’s server. How was this determined? The time stamps contained in the released computer files’ metadata established that at 6:45 P.M.
#WHO HAS THE DNC SERVER PORTABLE#
Instead, the data were downloaded by means of a thumb drive or similar portable storage device physically attached to the DNC server.
VIPS concluded that the DNC data were not hacked by the Russians or anyone else accessing the server over the internet. In its analysis of the purported DNC hack, VIPS brought to bear the talents of more than a dozen experienced, well-credentialed experts, including William Binney, a former NSA technical director and cofounder of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Automation Research Center Edward Loomis, former NSA technical director for the Office of Signals Processing and Skip Folden, a former IBM information technology manager as well as other computer-system designers, program architects, and analysts. The answers to those questions began to emerge thanks to an article in the Augissue of the Nation. By no means a pro-Trump publication, the Nation published an exhaustive report about an exacting forensic investigation of the DNC hack by the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), an organization of former CIA, FBI, National Security Agency, and military intelligence officers, technical experts, and analysts.
#WHO HAS THE DNC SERVER FULL#
Why would the DNC, the purported victim of a crime, refuse to fully cooperate with law enforcement in solving that crime? Was it hiding something? Was it afraid the server’s contents would discredit the Russia-hacking story? Why, instead of full and complete cooperation with the FBI, was the DNC having CrowdStrike and Perkins Coie run the investigation and, in effect, filter and control the flow of information regarding the server’s contents to the FBI? And Comey’s FBI made no effort to gain direct, hands-on access to the DNC server, the scene of the alleged cybercrime. Instead, the server was examined by CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity company retained by Sussmann. When the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI learned of the hacking claim, they asked to examine the server. Let’s get back to the alleged hack of the DNC’s server. “You get this inquiry from the intelligence community to look at the Clinton campaign trying to create a distraction, accusing Trump of being a Russian agent or a Russian stooge.”īut enough about Comey.

On July 28, 2016, CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama on an alleged plan by Hillary Clinton to tie Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the upcoming presidential election.īrennan’s handwritten notes (which were not declassified until 2020) state, in part, the following: Well after the convention, Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s public relations chief, said in a Washington Post essay that she worked assiduously during the nominating convention to “get the press to focus on … the prospect that Russia had not only hacked and stolen emails from the DNC, but that it had done so to help Donald Trump and hurt Hillary.” This caused the Clinton campaign serious political damage at the Democratic convention. Much to the embarrassment of Hillary Clinton, the released files showed that the DNC had secretly collaborated with her campaign to promote her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination over that of Bernie Sanders.
