The FBI requested direct access to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) hacked computer servers but was denied, Director James Comey told lawmakers on Tuesday. The bureau made “multiple requests at different levels,” according to Comey, but ultimately struck an agreement with the DNC that a “highly respected private company” would get access and share what it found with investigators. “We’d always prefer to have access hands-on ourselves if that’s possible,” Comey said, noting that he didn’t know why the DNC rebuffed the FBI’s request."CrowdStrike, the private security firm in question, has published extensive forensic analysis backing up its assessment that the threat groups that infiltrated the DNC were associated with Russian intelligence." So it was CrowdStrike alone that determined that the hack to the DNC server was perpetrated by Russia. Special Counsel Robert Mueller used the CrowdStrike findings for Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election, without any legitimate federal agency double checking their work. The DNC then decommissioned more than 140 servers after Nearly a year later, documents from the House Intelligence Committee, revealed by testimony of Shawn Henry, described as a CrowdStrike chief, with others referring to him as a president, that "there was never any direct evidence that Russia actually stole any files from the DNC." They only had "circumstantial" evidence or "indicators", which could be mimicked by any hostile foreign nation that wanted to blame Russia. Read more at: AllNewsPipeline.com
