Happy spelunking. With regard to the Intelligence Commitee transcript of the interview of Roger Stone above: Who copied the contents of files from the DNC server onto a thumb drive to give it to Craig Murray, if that is what happened?
Why does this matter? Because today we learn the whole "Russia Hack / Crowdstrike " story was a red herring. The FBI didn't investigate it properly. They just took Crowdstrike's word that it was an internet hack exfiltration.
Several Intel community members including Bill Binney, however, long maintained that the only way to get the files out of the server with the timestamps that they had was if files were copied onto a thumbdrive at high speed, not exfiltrated over a slower Internet connection (to anywhere, much less Russia.)
The DNC files were most likely copied onto a thumb drive.
By Seth Rich.
And after this… where did Crowdstrike send that Server to prevent anybody else looking at it?
The Perfect Call… Crowdstrike… the Server… Ukraine… As soon as Trump revealed he knew where the Server was, they launched his impeachment and got people like Vindman to leak a falsified transcript.
How'd the Server go from FBI hands to… Ukraine? 👀
Roger Stone was telling Congressional investigators of the HSPCI back in 2017 that a British agent played a role in the transfer of the DNC emails via thumb drive to Wikileaks.
And that forensic evidence indicated the data wasn't hacked off the DNC server via the internet, but that the timestamps proved it was taken much faster, which meant it was a portable storage device such as a thumb drive.
And now we know the DNC never allowed the FBI or anyone else in the federal government to examine the server, it appears to have been shipped off to Ukraine for safekeeping away from any prying eyes.
And back in 2019, when Trump made his perfect phone call to Zelensky and dropped the fact he knew the server was in Ukraine, the people listening in to the phone call, like Vindman, all freaked out and immediately spun up a bogus reason to use that phone call to launch an impeachment effort against the President.
Wow.
In case you're wondering why they really went after Roger Stone so hard, including an early morning FBI raid with a fully geared tactical team, I believe you're looking at the reason right now.
He knew the truth about the server, Seth Rich, Ukraine, Crowdstrike, Craig Murray, all of it.
They 100% tried to intimidate him.
Mueller had 22 months to find any of this stuff and somehow never found it.
Instead the Mueller Special Counsel and people within the FBI attempted to send Roger Stone to prison for going on the record and discussing the truth about the DNC email case.
Russia was never involved.
This was a Ukraine operation.
And Ukrainians love to use Russians as their patsies.
Trump knew who was listening in on this phone call.
He had to have had a pretty good idea what would happen if he revealed to Zelensky and all those around him and behind him that he knew the DNC server was in Ukraine.
Trump knew it would provoke a major response.
And boy did it ever.
"….the server, they say Ukraine has it."
"As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine."
That's all it took.
And voila!
You got your first Star Chamber impeachment of a President in US history.
