Things aren’t going well for the DNC these days. Not well at all. Besides expecting to take a bloodbath in this November’s mid-terms, John Durham somehow found out that DARPA investigated the alleged hack they reported in 2016. The one that Hillary Clinton and everyone on her team still try to pin on “Guccifer 2.0,” whoever that is. Clues point to Imran Awan but that’s another story. Durham seems to be wondering about that himself.
Durham dogging the DNC
Ultra-special prosecutor John Durham is investigating an investigation. He wants to know the “origins” of Guccifer 2.0, who is the alleged cybercriminal behind a particularly strange hacking incident which has all the fingerprints of an inside job on it. The DNC was allegedly breached over the internet by someone working for Russia.
The only problem is the file transfer speeds make it look a lot more likely that someone did it with a flash drive, while physically inside the Democrat National Committee building. Looking even closer makes it seem like an “Ubuntu” Linux boot flash was used. Democrats continue to insist Russia reached in across the world wide web and hauled the particularly harmless files out from far around the world.
It seems that John Durham found out that the Department of Defense asked Manos Antonakakis to find out where Guccifer 2.0 came from. Guccifer 2 is an interesting character because, unlike the original “Guccifer,” the only thing he ever hacked seems to be the DNC.
What makes things so interesting is that Antonakakis also happens to be the guy who team Durham likes to call “Researcher-1,” when they file things in court. They also want to know what Researcher-1 has to say about “the Alfa Bank hoax.”
The Georgia Tech researcher took a look at some “white papers” that Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann sent him and said they smelled like BS to him. That didn’t stop Sussmann and a tech executive named Rodney Joffe, from using the reports to forge a connection between Donald Trump and Russia.
Along with questionable data piled together by April Lorenzen, Hillary and her DNC helpers apparently manufactured “a backdoor communication network between Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.” Researcher-2, allegedly David Dagon, helped with the scheme to “mine internet data for evidence establishing a Trump-Russia connection.
Doesn’t match the storyline
When the DARP associated researchers “queried internet data” maintained “by Joffe’s tech company for the mail1.trump-email.com domain,” they came up empty. No “apparent connections between the Trump email and Russia.” Antonakakis got to break the news to Joffe that what he found does “not make sense with the storyline you have.”
The DNC operatives didn’t mind. “Nonetheless, Joffe provided Antonakakis, Dagon, and Lorenzen a draft ‘white paper,’ which presented a tale of an Alfa Bank-Trump secret communication channel, which the three then reviewed for Joffe.”
Sussmann dumped the whole box of Alfa Bank data and white papers on Jim Baker. He swore up and down that he didn’t have a client. That was a lie. An important and material lie.
“Sussmann was acting on behalf of both the Clinton campaign and Joffe when he fed the FBI’s general counsel that Alfa Bank story.” Up until now, nobody knew about the connection to the DNC hack.
In an email to Georgia Tech’s general counsel and other members of upper management, after he was dragged in front of a grand jury about the DNC attack, he had some concerns to follow up on “after the dust settles.” That email suddenly became a smoking gun because “Antonakakis launched a soliloquy that perfectly described the Russia-collusion hoax and the plot by anti-Trump politicians and the deep state intelligence and law enforcement communities to take down the president of the United States.” Oops. It went right past and nobody even noticed it.
“I was asked point blank by Mr. DeFilippis, ‘Do you believe that DARPA should be instructing you to investigate the origins of a hacker (Guccifer_2.0) that hacked a political entity (DNC)?‘” That he insists was “a question for DARPA’s director.” If so, that sounds a lot like “confirmation that DARPA had, as the special counsel’s question presumed, directed Antonakakis to investigate who bore responsibility for the DNC hack, although it is unclear whether Antonakakis’ task concerned solely the supposed identity of ‘Guccifer,’ or more broadly the question of who hacked the DNC.” Some say the answer to both questions is Imran Awan and Democrats really don’t like talking about him.
