4. Meet the Russian Bank with Ties to Donald Trump....

Whatever the truth behind the alleged link between Donald Trump's organization and the Russian financial firm Alfa Bank, the real surprise is that Alfa's name has taken so long to work itself into the world's most garish narrative of 2016.

On Monday, Slate had published a story about communication between a server hosting Trump Organization domain addresses and a server owned by Alfa Bank. Cyber-security firm Mandiant, a unit of FireEye Inc. (feye, -1.48%), said there was no conclusive evidence of "substantive contact" between the two, according to The Guardian. But even if there were, Alfa Bank would make a very strange conduit for illicit traffic between Trump and his favorite foreign leader.

So is this something new............????


FBI probes ‘odd’ link between Trump server and Russia’s Alfa Bank

Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest private bank, looked up the address of the Trump company server 2,820 times between May 4 and September 23, 2016 – “more look-ups than the Trump server received from any other source” and accounting for 80 percent of them, CNN reported.

A company called Spectrum Health was responsible for another 714 such look-ups. The Michigan-based firm is a chain of medical facilities whose chairman is Richard DeVos, the husband of Trump’s Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Combined, Alfa Bank and Spectrum account for 99 percent of the Trump server’s look-ups, CNN wrote.

“It’s pretty clear that it’s not an open mail server,” Indiana University computer scientist L. Jean Camp told Slate. “These organizations are communicating in a way designed to block other people out.”

Break into their server then send communicate from their server, not yours.
