Crowdstrike a DNC friendly company, investigated the hack of their servers and determined it was the Russians. 100 million in funding immediately poured into the company, currently it is valued at more than a billion dollars.

All good and well, but there is this tweet

https://twitter.com/TruthinGov2016/s...42204418732032

see New questions over claim Russia hacked the election | Daily Mail Online for a tabloid news story.

From the story above -
Quote:
It was an explosive conclusion which cast a pall over the entire election: that the Kremlin was behind a hack of the Democratic National Committee which resulted in its embarrassing secrets being published.

First made in June 2016, it has overshadowed the election, transition and now presidency of Donald Trump.

And the FBI, CIA, NSA and 12 other intelligence agencies published an unprecedented joint report saying the Vladimir Putin ordered a hacking campaign to tip the election against Hillary Clinton.

But now the first expert company to make a link between the DNC hacks and the Kremlin is facing a damaging series of questions over its credibility, DailyMail.com can disclose.

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has had to retract portions of a report supporting its allegations of Russian cyberattacks – and is also refusing to address Congress about its findings on Moscow's election hacking.
If Crowdstrike collected nearly a billion dollars on anti-Trump sentiment, fine and good, but it should be cooperating with the investigation of the alleged Russian hacks. If it recants the claim Russia hacked the DNC, then there is nothing anywhere even from a DNC friendly company and DNC supporters were bamboozled out of nearly a billion dollars by con artists posing as geeks.

Time will tell.

A lot of people don't understand that one company, bought and paid for by the DNC, is the basis of the Russian fairy tale. I suspect that it will all come out in Mueller's report.

Funny you should mention Obama's spying on Trump...https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...umn/102284058/

You mix illegal surveillance of a presidential candidate by the opposition, mix in CrowdStrikes lies about Russia and you have the mess we have today.

This story came out in early March. Wired had a very laudatory story about CrowdStrike, but they hate Trump...DNC hack: how Crowdstrike found proof Russia hacked DNC | WIRED UK

Zero Hedge started poking holes in the story. Here's three links in order of date.

What Is CrowdStrike? Firm Hired By DNC Has Ties To Hillary Clinton, A Ukrainian Billionaire, And Google | Zero Hedge

The Evidence That Russia Hacked The DNC Is Collapsing | Zero Hedge

"Something Stinks Here" - CrowdStrike Revises, Retracts Parts Of Explosive Russian Hacking Report | Zero Hedge

This whole affair is a mess, and we may never find out just how dirty the Democrats truly were this election...there just seems to be circles within circles within circles. I've often wondered just what the hell is going on with this Russian collusion silliness but then, oftentimes the best defense is a good offense. Democrats have very sucessfully deflected attention away from Obama's illegal activities and the DNC's use of CrowdStrike. To say nothing of Hillary's emails. Or DWS computer under lock and key by the Capitol police.

According to that article this whole Russian conspiracy thing has been investigated since June 2016. It is almost a year later and what has been found out? The answer is there is nothing to find out and it is all a made up witch hunt used to discredit Trump in the eyes of the public and keep his administration on edge.

Follow the money and as the article says Crowdstrike made a bundle and so does CNN who keeps this mess going.

Well, Crowdstrike makes a claim that the Russians hack the DNC emails.

Within 24-48 hours tech, and security experts thoroughly debunk the ridiculous claim.

The DNC refuses to allow the FBI to examine their servers.

Crowdstrike refuses to testify before congress when asked.

Crowdstrike has to retract a prior claim about Russian hacking after it is revealed that the "evidence" they used was proven false.


Honestly, why would anyone believe the Russian hacking claims?
