Did the CIA hack the DNC server in a false-flag operation?

Well, the last time the CIA operated against a domestic political party they got raked over the coals, defunded, had all their dirty secrets going back thirty years exposed in the Pike and Church Commissions in Congress and almost got broken up.

So you could see why Langley would think this had an upside.

I find it hilarious that “if an argument has been completely debunked, just wait a while and then bring it back up again like it’s a brand new thing” is still a debate tactic.

The FBI and DOJ were only allowed to see a “draft” report prepared by Crowdstrike, and that report was redacted … and that redacted draft is the “last version of the report produced”; meaning, there are no unredacted & final versions

Just responding to the “like clockwork, grounddog day” leftist misinformation and lies. :woman_shrugging:t2:

No. It isn’t. Virtual servers reside on a host with an operating system. If the OS is compromised, that may not show on the VM.

You believe this man, not me.

They got FORENSIC copies of the servers, all 180 of them.

“The FBI was given images of servers, forensic copies, as well as a host of other forensic information we collected from our systems,” said Adrienne Watson, the DNC’s deputy communications director. “We were in close contact and worked cooperatively with the FBI and were always responsive to their requests. Any suggestion that they were denied access to what they wanted for their investigation is completely incorrect.”

Either way if the FBI declined or the DNC denied them access, they never saw it!!!

Because they need it to be true. They’ve based their whole political motivation on it.

“Leftists” didn’t start this thread.

Images of the servers are exactly the same thing as the servers themselves.

And by “images” we don’t mean photographs.

One of the things that is really funny about this conspiracy that the FBI relied on Crowdstrike is that it would have most likely hired a third party just like Crowdstrike to do the forensic analysis. Probably would have even hired Crowdstrike directly.

Welcome back.

Were the VMs shielded? Was the host compromised?

Ridiculous, of course they saw it.

That would be up to the conspiracy theorists to prove.

So, you don’t know.

The VMs couldn’t have been shielded because shielding was not a thing until Server 2016, which wasn’t released until September.

The point is, saying that viewing copies of the images is the exact same thing as viewing the server isn’t really accurate.

Has it been reported they were using a Windows Server to host their VMs? How do you know it wasn’t some Linux distro? Or the VMs on a bare metal Hypervisor?

Exactly. Getting a copy of the server image isn’t the whole picture in terms of forensic discovery.
