Yes, there's a CrowdStrike, but they didn't do anything nefarious. CrowdStrike committed the cardinal sin of agreeing that Russians hacked the DNC, which was not what Trump wanted to hear, for some reason. So his supporters did what they always do and said "I know you are, so what am I?" and accused CrowdStrike of hacking instead. Jeeeezzzzussss. How clear can this get, folks? What is really scary here is that our PRESIDENT believes this shit. When our President starts taking his opinions from the journalistic likes of the National Enquirer, it's a little terrifying. He has been doing it more and more in the past months and it needs to stop.
This is what CrowdStrike really found. Fact:
CrowdStrike stands fully by its analysis and findings identifying two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network in May 2016[...] We've had lots of experience with both of these actors attempting to target our customers in the past and know them well. In fact, our team considers them some of the best adversaries out of all the numerous nation-state, criminal and hacktivist/terrorist groups we encounter on a daily basis. Their tradecraft is superb, operational security second to none and the extensive usage of 'living-off-the-land' techniques enables them to easily bypass many security solutions they encounter.[4]
Other cybersecurity firms, Fidelis Cybersecurity and FireEye, independently reviewed the malware and came to the same conclusion as CrowdStrike—that expert Russian hacking groups were responsible for the breach.[24] In November 2017, US authorities identified 6 Russian individuals who conducted the hack.[25] Beginning in December 2016 the Russian government arrested Sergei Mikhailov, a high ranking government cyber-spy, Ruslan Stoyanov, a private sector cyber-security expert, Georgy Fomchenkov, a former government cyber-spy, and Dmitry Dokuchaev, a Mikhailov associate and charged them with aiding U.S. intelligence agencies which the New York Times associated with the DNC hacking.[26][27]
See, this is what the basic arguement is about, folks on the left take this as a basic fact.
OTH, CrowdStrike has been known, absolutely to have been PROVEN WRONG, in the case of RUSSIAN artillery estimates.
Trump was asking about the server that had information about THAT. If he could get that, he could have that AS FORENSIC EVIDENCE, for either incompetence or nefarious activity to create a FALSE PARADIGM.
THIS IS NOT FOR DISPUTE.
The FBI never asked for the primary source of the DNC "HACK" while other intel experts said Crowdstrike had made the same error.
How do folks KNOW who is right?

Without the
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE? WE DON"T!!
CrowdStrike Revises Russian Hack Into Ukrainian Artillery
CrowdStrike Revises Russian Hack Into Ukrainian Artillery
"Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike recently revised a report from December that insisted that the group “Fancy Bear,” which has ties to Russian intelligence, used malware to hack into Ukrainian artillery. In the same report, the firm said “Fancy Bear” used the same malware to “hack” into the American election.
Well, British think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) found that CrowdStrike “erroneously used IISS data as proof of the intrusion.” This also calls into question its findings of meddling in our election.. . . . "

"What Does That Mean to America?
Like I said, it calls CrowdStrike’s reputation and statistics into question. As someone who despises Russia, I still want the truth. It’s sickening if the firm misrepresented data concerning the DNC because the left and Russian conspiracy theorists latched onto CrowdStrike’s report. Comey even stuck up for CrowdStrike during his Congressional hearing."
Yeah we know. Everybody is wrong but Trump, a man who can't read briefings and must be shown pictures so he will pay attention. And this is the person in charge of our security.
I'm not talking about Trump being right or wrong, I don't care about Trump, he is a distraction man. Forget about him.
Ask yourself, WHY didn't the FBI or Mueller look at the primary evidence for "Russian Interference" after all those millions spent and all that time spent? That entire special report HINGED on that one point. The greater majority just believes, w/o question, that basic premise, i.e., the Russians hacked the DNC sever.
. . . and yet, the whole reason the special counsel COULD NOT prosecute those Russians, OR Roger Stone, is the very fact that there IS NO PROOF of this contention, just speculation based on CrowdStrikes say so. Oh, they could have subpoenaed the server and put the whole question to rest. . . . BUT THEY DID NOT!
WHY?!?!
Because then, if it positively were NOT the Russians, what then?

Then who would Hillary and all these lefty partisans blame?
This Deep State civil war would clearly be out in the open, and the rot in the DNC, would be full circle, folks would have to focus back on the corruption in the DNC again. Instead, that court case ruling against Bernie was just swept under the rug.
But, maybe if the server were analyzed, the FBI would find that it was the Russians. I'm betting that isn't the case though, otherwise, it would have been handed over. This would not be a controversy at all. Why make it one?

Occam's razor man. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire.
