Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.

Was a Trump server communicating with a Russian bank? These cyber experts believe so. http://slate.me/2e6A00U

1. Why doesn't Clinton hold a press conference about it? That would guarantee this gets coverage.

3. Wait one more day, more collaborative evidence...then pounce!

2. This story goes deep, Manafort is now getting a look into his connections, maybe to start digging

into the Russian connections. We know the DNC has been hacked by Russians and this is probably a bigger deal than any emails. Thanks for posting, lots of dirt going on here.

4. "Yes, speaking of servers" should be the clear message to the MSM.

Dooley is right.

This needs to happen NOW, to drive off that fucking e-mail nonsense - not in two week.

5. "We can only assume"

Sure. We'll see where that leads, given what we know about the FBI director and his sensitivity to Russia's fee-fees so close to the election.

7. Putin really wants trump to win

[Hekate]

10. Also good for Trump: Sow chaos and distrust of American systems of governance...

...so that no matter who wins, Putin wins.

The man from KGB is not now and never has been a friend of ours.

12. Was that server connected to the server hacking the DNC?

O.K. Trump's secret server connected to a Russian server and a server in Russia hacked the DNC.

13. I would be happier if it was the DOJ or CIA instead of the FBI. I no longer trust any of them.

14. I'm so old, I remember a time . . .

I'm so old, I remember a time when Republicans were ultra-sensitive to any American politician getting too cozy with the Russians. Many careers were ruined or never even got off the ground if a person could be stove-piped into a relationship with our sworn existential enemies in the Kremlin.

Now here they are, nominating someone to run for president on their ticket, who appears to be up to his eyeballs in hock to the Russians or the Russian mob. Seems like something that Republicans should be interested in finding out about, no?

15. Has anyone asked the NSA or HSA about it? You would think they'd have an opinion, no?

[Calista241]

16. So what do they mean by "linking"

It wouldn't surprise me if the Trump organization, or any organization, had "secret" servers for handling private business communications. And servers are designed to send traffic to other servers.

They have a lot of questions to answer before this goes anywhere. Was the server sending money to / from Alfa Bank? Was it sending porn? Recipe's maybe? Or was it regular internet traffic? The article mentions the amount of packet traffic was infinitesimally small, but they can't read the packets, so they have no idea what's in them.

Alfa Bank is a real bank in any case. It's like Bank of America except in Russia, and as a International finance institution, they are subject to regulation by any country they do business in, including the United States.

Anyone who thinks we've found evidence of Trump interaction with Russian intelligence agencies is sorely mistaken.

Trump is going down in this election, but he's not going to go down because of this. He's going to lose because he's an egotistical idiot.

17. What does our gal have in store for us on November 6th & 7th? Make Trump run crying

for Daddy.
