CrowdStrike's Credibility vs. the Russian Collusion Delusion

President Trump 
mentioned CrowdStrike 
during his July 2019 
phone call with the new 
Ukrainian president.

The Ukraine had once
hired CrowdStrike, and
then objected to their claim
that Russia was hacking
the GPS systems of their
Ukraine artillery
to locate them -- 
CrowdStrike
later changed 
their conclusion.

CrowdStrike has
a history of claiming
they can locate the
countrty where a 
hacker was located.

And they usually claim
Russia, China or North
Korea -- all are countries 
that would never 
assist in locating 
any hackers.

So it's impossible 
to prove CrowdStrike
is lying, but I am 
confident they are. 


CrowdStrike’s June 2016 
assessment is the ONLY 
source of the alleged 
Russian interference 
with the Democrat 
National Committee.

It was quickly spun 
by the DNC, or the 
Hillary campaign, 
into the now
infamous, fake 
Trump-Russia 
collusion claim,
that lasted almost 
three years, until 
the Mueller Report
was released.

Although some 
mentally challenged
Democrats still 
believe the Russian
Collusion Delusion.



CrowdStrike was the 
only cyber-security firm 
hired by the Democrat 
National Committee 
to investigate the alleged 
hack of its email system 
in early 2016.

CrowdStrike very quickly
produced never verified 
"evidence", later used 
to convince Americans 
that Russians breached 
the DNC’s email system.

I don't believe 
the CrowdStrike claim, 
for five reasons:
(1) 
WikiLeaks claimed 
they got DNC e-mails 
on a flash drive,
from a DNC insider, 
who was angry
that Bernie Sanders 
faced DNC rules
biased against him.

No evidence was ever 
produced to prove 
WikiLeaks was lying.


(2) 
The location 
of hackers
is almost 
impossible 
to determine 
unless they are
caught in the act, 
which didn't happen.

Sophisticated hackers 
can leave fake "clues" 
that point to another 
country, 


(3) 
Politicians are notorious liars, 
especially Democrats with 
the surname "Clinton".


(4) 
Blaming Russia, 
and then claiming 
Trump was colluding 
with Russia, was an 
ideal narrative 
to divert attention 
away from the DNC, 
and apply lots of
negative attention  
on candidate Trump, 
and 


(5) 
The DNC refused 
to surrender
its email devices 
to the very friendly
Obama FBI, 
to allow them to verify 
CrowdStrike's claim !




Shawn Henry, 
an NBC News analyst, 
happens to be president 
of CrowdStrike’s 
Washington operation.

He is a regular contributor 
to MSNBC and NBC News
programs. 

Henry worked 
with the FBI until 2012, 
and presents himself 
as an FBI “expert,” 
on a variety of 
political issues.

His views 
are always
the opposite 
of Donald Trump.

Henry's affiliation 
with CrowdStrike 
is never mentioned.

Henry also worked 
for Robert Mueller’s FBI 
during Barack Obama’s 
first term.



Perkins Coie is a 
politically-influential 
law firm based in D.C., 

They hired CrowdStrike 
in spring 2016 on behalf 
of the DNC. 

Obama's FBI, and every 
other Obama agency, 
were kept away from 
the DNC computers.

Perkins Cole also hired 
Fusion GPS—who in turn 
hired British ex-spy
Christopher Steele
to author his infamous
"Trump Dossier".

That "Dossier" 
attacked candidate Trump 
with disinformation 
allegedly provided
 by Russian government 
officials ( per Mr. Steele ) 
 -- contradicting the claim 
that "the Russians" 
supported Trump.

According to 
disclosure reports,
the DNC paid 
Perkins Coie
 $7.2 million 
during the 2016 
election cycle.



While CrowdStrike 
was working for the DNC
in 2016, the firm 
also collaborated 
with key officials 
in the Obama Justice 
Department as 
the FNBI was ramping up 
an  unjustified investigation 
into Trump’s presidential 
campaign. 

Before Obama’s intelligence 
officials released a statement 
on October 7, 2016, 
that blamed the Russians 
for the DNC email breach, 
according to an Esquire article, 
Dmitri Alperovitch, CrowdStrike’s 
co-founder, was given a heads-up.

“Alperovitch got a phone call 
from a senior government official 
alerting him that a statement 
identifying Russia as the sponsor 
of the DNC attack would soon 
be released.  Once again, 
Alperovitch was thanked 
for pushing the government along.”

The October 7, 2016 statement, 
issued by Obama’s Department 
of Homeland Security and 
Director of National Intelligence 
James Clapper, one month 
before Election Day, lifted 
some of the wording from 
CrowdStrike’s report 
on the DNC breach.



CrowdStrike previously had 
a contract with the FBI 
for $150,000 between 
July 2015 and July 2016 
for unknown services.


Trump haters 
dismiss any questions 
about CrowdStrike 
as part of a Republican
“conspiracy theory.” 

But the the firm played
the critical early role 
in allowing the creation
of the Trump - Russia 
collusion hoax.
