[h=1]Sources: FBI investigation continues into 'odd' computer link between Russian bank and Trump Organization[/h]

FBI investigation continues into 'odd' computer link between Russian bank and Trump Organization - CNNPolitics.com



(CNN)Federal investigators and computer scientists continue to examine whether there was a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, sources close to the investigation tell CNN.




Is this proof of Russian collusion with the trump campaign or is this more CNN #fakenews?

The great evil Russia out to destroy the world again with dog spies. They're everywhere. In fact, you're dog might be one. They're funneling information to Russia to assist Trump. You can tell they're a Russia spy by their cuteness. If they seem too cute to believe is real they're Russian Spies. Damn you Russia!

But seriously, this stuff is way past the point of pathetic. Every time something new comes up on this subject it goes no where and all the people that believed it are left looking like a fool.

It's not fake news as they are still looking into this connection. However, that connection may not be what people think it is.

This isn't going to be a smoking gun. From the article:

Slate and The New York Times were first to report the unusual server activity.

......

The Times said the FBI had concluded there could be an "innocuous explanation." And cybersecurity experts told CNN this isn't how two entities would communicate if they wanted to keep things secret.

....

Another computer researcher, Richard Clayton of Cambridge University, said it's just plain weird.

"It's not so much a smoking gun as a faint whiff of smoke a long way away. Maybe there's something else going on. It's hard to tell," said Clayton, who has independently examined the scant evidence available.

Gee, kind of like Clinton was with the servers. My god there were headlines each time something "new" came up and it still went nowhere. Healer, heal thyself.

It's not fake news. This is an actual investigation going on, is it not?

And who knows if this is evidence of collusion. Your guess is as good as mine. There isn't really much to go on here, other than "ooh, it's suspicious sounding".

Hard to say, probably should just have a proper, fair, non-partisan investigation and find out.

Or is this Obama Shadow Government?

Do you have a reason to believe that CNN invented the story that the FBI investigation is still open?

And anyhow, CNN is way behind the times here because in the wake of the latest Wikileak document dump, the "Russian connection" is out of vogue this week while the Democrats try to convince us that their beloved Obama Administration wouldn't be spying/hacking/wiretapping etc. U.S. citizens.

And you liberals have been crying since the election. Clapper said there is no evidence of collaboration between Trump and the Russians. But you keep peeling that onion. You are bound to find...more onion.

Oh don't get it twisted ... I've been laughing my ass off over the last several weeks. :lamo

I'me betting even Jimmy Carter is feeling great about is Presidency, that just how F'ed-Up Donny is.

I'm thinking by the time this failed experiment is over ... the GOP will a welcomed as warmed over dog scrap.

I'm sure you have convinced yourself of that.

This isn't going to be a smoking gun. From the article:

Which only means they weren't very good at hiding it or imagined no one would think to look at a server operating in a small rural town. The Russian bank says that they were automated queries in response to spam marketing e-mails. Team Trump says there were no such communications from their server. One or both of them is lying and that's the overarching issue. There could be completely innocent explanations for some of Trump's and Trump associates' ties to Russia, but they are ALWAYS compelled to lie about and deny them - which suggests they aren't innocent activities.

Of course it continues. We aren't yet a banana republic even though some try to paint us into that corner.

FBI probe of Donald Trump and Russia during election yielded no evidence of crimes | Circa News - Learn. Think. Do.

" The months-long FBI counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential campaign briefly investigated a computer server tied to Donald Trump's businesses near the end of the election but has not gathered evidence of election tampering to date that would warrant criminal charges against any of the president’s associates, Circa has learned."

The article alleges only that the investigation is ongoing and if that's true it's not fake news. Your question presents a false choice.

And it would be odd to have proof AND an ongoing investigation, that the article itself says has reached no conclusions. Did you read the story at all or did you just want to pose a false choice as an excuse to whinge about CNN?

More good news, the Senate Commitee looking into who illegally leaked trasncripts, calls and the Americans names knows who the leakers are. Sen Tom Cotton told O'reillly to look towards Obama Political appointees if he wanted to know who they were


More good news, Jeff Sessions is the AG, and once the Senate Commitee is done with their investigation, maybe for once some of these corrupt Obama appointees will finnaly be held acountable

And even MORE good news, Jeff Sessions is also considering a outside probe into Obama's DOJ..

Jimmy Carter? I suspect W. Bush is somewhere smiling knowing that less than two months into Trump's presidency, he's already considered by many to be an even worse president than he was. It's kind of karma really, considering how often Trump bashed Bush from 2001-2008, and then destroyed his brother's chances at the presidency. You know W. Bush is enjoying this "pay back".

Obama's agenda and policies led to staggering losses for the Democratic party over the last 3 election cycles, and yes that includes losing the WH. Obama said his agenda was on the ballot, and his agenda was rejected

And slightly over a month into Trump's presidency, more than half the country hates him, including his own political party.

I suspect you'll be seeing Obama "Miss Me?" signs popping up within the next few months. Hell, you'll probably see "Miss Me?" signs for W. Bush, Clinton, Bush Senior, and Carter, as most Americans would likely prefer any of them as president over the circus clown we have in the WH now.

'No evidence' Trump campaign aides recruited by Russia, former spy chief says - ABC News

You mean like the director of national intelligence, James Clapper ??
"There was no evidence whatsoever, at the time, of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians," Clapper, a retired three-star general and career intelligence officer, told ABC News' Brian Ross in an interview Monday for "World News Tonight."

You never needed evidence before, or " people that counted " to push this conspiracy lunacy, so why now ?
