Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

New: Kushner redevelopment plan for 666 5th Ave deemed "not feasible" by Vornado CEO Roth. Sees it reverting to an office bldg. More coming

If Papadopolous was a coffee boy, I wonder what Flynn and Manafort will become.

PainInTheEerie · 31/10/2017 17:27

I saw speculation on twitter when it was first announced that Kushner was heading to Saudi that he was looking for investors. Wonder if there might be something in it (though it could have been plucked from thin air)

Also, Clinton could have warned Trump about low level interns.

He’s not without problems crickets. In response to this

Meyers asked Sanders if he worries at all that stories like the Mueller indictments “can to the left provide an excitement of, ‘Oh, this is almost over,’ when in fact it will probably go on forever and they need to focus on the ballot box as opposed to Mueller.”

“Yes. I mean, I think we’ve got to work in two ways,” Sanders answered. “No. 1, we have got to take on Trump’s attacks against the environment, against women, against Latinos and blacks and people in the gay community, we’ve got to fight back every day on those issues. But equally important, or more important: We have got to focus on bread-and-butter issues that mean so much to ordinary Americans.”

Melissa McEwan wrote

So, three things: 1. Bernie Sanders doesn't think equality under the law is a "bread-and-butter issue." 2. Bernie Sanders doesn't seem to think that women, people of color, and/or members of the LGBTQ community are "ordinary Americans." 3. Bernie Sanders doesn't think that the dismantling of the American democracy by an authoritarian leader and his corrupt party, aided by a foreign adversary, is something about which "ordinary Americans" do and should care. Oh.

If anyone can get past the brain-bleach stage,Shock that piece linked at the bottom of the J.J. Patrick‏ @J_amesp thread is excellent.

It brings together material posted in the last few days. Firstly he describes just why bots are so important (they establish the messages, which spread even by people disagreeing with them).

Secondly he shows how the Brexit bots are the same bots as the MAGA/Trump bots.

"over time, the most prolific sources of Brexit fake news overall are US based InfoWars and Alex Jones himself, dwarfing all other Brexit content and spread."

BOOM!
More than 250 Trump Organization Subdomains are in Communication with Computers in Russia!!

Thread.

The Trump Organization, like most large organizations, has a lot of domains registered to it. Let's take a look.

Many of these domains have subdomains - like reservations.trumphotels.com This is a normal practice. But we found something HIGHLY unusual.

They don't have normal names.
They have names like fghft.721fifth.com
Pretty much impossible for the normal user to stumble upon.

These subdomains are not open for normal web traffic. When you browse to them there is nothing there.

The fact that they exist means they can be used for communication, if you know how.

Our team did a traceroute on these subdomains. Checking where traffic on these networks goes.

What we found was shocking.

All of these subdomains follow the same route to Moscow, then take a trip to Siberia, then finally arrive at a server in St. Petersburg.

And what about that location in Siberia?

The coordinates point to the place where the earth was flattened by a meteor explosion in 1908. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

Signs Point To This Sever Actually Being Close To The Kremlin in Moscow!!

WTF. Why are there STILL Trump-Owned Subdomains That Can Communicate with Computers in Russia? It Gets More Interesting.

All of the Russian IP's these domains are Routing through are owned by Hostkey.ru, also known as Mir Telematiki LTD. Who else uses them

WTF!! This IP Address Goes to the Same ISP and Purported Physical Location as Two IP Addresses Used by (link: WikiLeaks.org) WikiLeaks.org!!

Here are the Details about the IP Address that the Trump subdomains pass through.

Wikileaks also routes through the supposed Siberian server, although certain signs point to it being very near the Kremlin, in Moscow.

Trump network traffic includes filenames in “leetspeak”, like

(link: n1cEG1rLSatTh1Sw33kEND988.html1.zip) n1cEG1rLSatTh1Sw33kEND988.html1.zip

Nice girls at this weekend 988?

WTF?

What does this even mean? We have figured out a few of these codes, we think. Still unsure about a lot of them.

Top Trump Campaign Aide Clovis Spoke to Mueller Team, Grand Jury

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/top-trump-campaign-aide-clovis-spoke-mueller-team-grand-jury-n816106

WASHINGTON — Sam Clovis, the former top Trump campaign official who supervised a man now cooperating with the FBI's Russia investigation, was questioned last week by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team and testified before the investigating grand jury, a person with first-hand knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

Clovis, who is President Donald Trump's pick to be the Department of Agriculture's chief scientist, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Victoria Toensing, would neither confirm nor deny his interactions with the Mueller team.

Incidentally, earlier today

Rebecca Ballhaus
@rebeccaballhaus
Is Trump still comfortable with his nomination of Sam Clovis for USDA post?

Sanders: "I’m not aware that any change would be necessary."
