Medusa?
Former DNC interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile lit up the political world on Thursday when she revealed the underbelly of the DNC which included Hillary's dirty tricks to rig the primary in her favor.Not only did Brazile throw Hillary under the bus,
she exposed Debbie Wasserman Schultz's horrible management skills and secretive behavior which crippled the lines of communications with DNC officers.
Wasserman Schultz was so secretive that she didn't even tell any of her fellow DNC officers that the servers had been breached until MINUTES before WaPo broke the news of the hack.
Donna Brazile via
POLITICO:
The Saturday morning after the convention in July, I called Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of Hillary's campaign. He wasted no words. He told me the Democratic Party was broke and $2 million in debt.
"What?" I screamed. "I am an officer of the party and they've been telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no problems."
[...]
If I didn't know about this, I assumed that none of the other officers knew about it, either. That was just Debbie's way. In my experience she didn't come to the officers of the DNC for advice and counsel. She seemed to make decisions on her own and let us know at the last minute what she had decided, as she had done when she told us about the hacking only minutes before the Washington Post broke the news.
According to a June 2016
WaPo article, Wasserman Schultz immediately consulted with Crowdstrike,
rather than law enforcement. This decision was made without fellow DNC officers.
"The security of our system is critical to our operation and to the confidence of the campaigns and state parties we work with," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), the DNC chairwoman. "When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately. Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network."
Chief executive Amy Dacey said she then spoke with Michael Sussmann,
a DNC lawyer who is a partner with Perkins Coie in DC-yes the same law firm that paid for the Russia dossier. And we're supposed to trust Crowdstrike??
According to WaPo,
within 24 hours, CrowdStrike had installed software on the DNC's computers so that it could analyze data that could indicate who had gained access, when and how.Why on earth didn't Debbie Wasserman Schultz consult with other high level DNC officers about such a huge breach which ultimately led to the DNC emails being released to the public?Debbie Wasserman Schultz has proven that she cannot be trusted to secure the proper IT staffers. She is also responsible for Pakistani IT spy ring that infiltrated her party. The fallout from this reckless woman will be felt for years to come.
Hillary's campaign was an absolute disaster. The DNC was broke. Dumb and Dumber were at the helm. Hillary ignored Wisconsin and Michigan. The FBI investigation over her emails plagued her. Her perverted husband's past came back to haunt her and people just wanted a change after 8 years of a Democrat.
But 1,000 Russian trolls on Twitter and a few Russian ads on Facebook is the reason why Hillary lost the presidential election....
Comment: There's a very simple answer to why Wasserman Schultz did not consult with other high level DNC officers about the breach that led to the release of DNC emails: because there is clear evidence that the emails were not "hacked" but rather downloaded by someone within the DNC, someone very angry at what they had inside Clinton's campaign, and possibly at Clinton herself. The evidence that the emails were downloaded was revealed months ago. From an
article in the Nation from August 2017 we read:
Qualified experts working independently of one another began to examine the DNC case immediately after the July 2016 events. Prominent among these is a group comprising former intelligence officers, almost all of whom previously occupied senior positions. Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), founded in 2003, now has 30 members, including a few associates with backgrounds in national-security fields other than intelligence.
The chief researchers active on the DNC case are four: William Binney, formerly the NSA's technical director for world geopolitical and military analysis and designer of many agency programs now in use; Kirk Wiebe, formerly a senior analyst at the NSA's SIGINT Automation Research Center; Edward Loomis, formerly technical director in the NSA's Office of Signal Processing; and Ray McGovern, an intelligence analyst for nearly three decades and formerly chief of the CIA's Soviet Foreign Policy Branch. Most of these men have decades of experience in matters concerning Russian intelligence and the related technologies.
[The] first decisive findings, made public in the paper dated July 9, concerned the volume of the supposedly hacked material and what is called the transfer rate-the time a remote hack would require. The metadata established several facts in this regard with granular precision: On the evening of July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded from the DNC's server. The operation took 87 seconds. This yields a transfer rate of 22.7 megabytes per second.
These statistics are matters of record and essential to disproving the hack theory. No Internet service provider, such as a hacker would have had to use in mid-2016, was capable of downloading data at this speed. Compounding this contradiction, Guccifer claimed to have run his hack from Romania, which, for numerous reasons technically called delivery overheads, would slow down the speed of a hack even further from maximum achievable speeds.
Folden and Edward Loomis say a survey published August 3, 2016, by www.speedtest.net/reports is highly reliable and use it as their thumbnail index. It indicated that the highest average ISP speeds of first-half 2016 were achieved by Xfinity and Cox Communications. These speeds averaged 15.6 megabytes per second and 14.7 megabytes per second, respectively. Peak speeds at higher rates were recorded intermittently but still did not reach the required 22.7 megabytes per second.
"A speed of 22.7 megabytes is simply unobtainable, especially if we are talking about a transoceanic data transfer," Folden said. "Based on the data we now have, what we've been calling a hack is impossible." Last week Forensicator reported on a speed test he conducted more recently. It tightens the case considerably. "Transfer rates of 23 MB/s (Mega Bytes per second) are not just highly unlikely, but effectively impossible to accomplish when communicating over the Internet at any significant distance," he wrote. "Further, local copy speeds are measured, demonstrating that 23 MB/s is a typical transfer rate when using a USB-2 flash device (thumb drive)."
So there you have it. Are we surprised that the DNC, Clinton, the FBI and now Mueller would ALL have conspired to cover up this damning fact that blows the whole "Russia collusion" nonsense out of the water? Hardly. The goal behind everything that has happened since Trump won the election has been an attempt to attack Russia and isolate it as much as possible on the world stage. Such is the desperation of the US 'deep state' as it has become vaguely aware in recent years that its global empire is crumbling as the rise of Eurasia continues.
