Biden’s Secret Service Stonewalls FOIA Request by America First Legal Following Assassination Attempt on President Trump

Credit: New York Times

Joe Biden’s Secret Service is stonewalling America First Legal and refused to expedite its FOIA request following the assassination attempt on President Trump.

Last Saturday President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania.

One Trump supporter was fatally shot. Two other rallygoers were wounded, one critically.

A Senate briefing revealed the Secret Service identified Crooks as suspicious 10 minutes before Trump took the stage.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was seen bear crawling on the roof as bystanders pointed him out to law enforcement.

An officer was right next to the building as bystanders alerted him to the potential threat.

Nearly one week later we have no explanation from the Secret Service.

America First Legal filed an expedited Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Secret Service seeking reports, documents and communications related to the assassination attempt against President Trump.

Biden’s DHS denied America First Legal’s request to expedite the process.

“You have requested expedited processing of your request under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) standard permitting expedition when a requester demonstrates a “compelling need.” Your request for expedited treatment has been denied,” Biden’s DHS said in a letter to AFL.

Biden’s DHS denied AFL’s expedited processing request because they claim there is not:

1. Any threat to the life or safety of anyone;
2. Any urgency to inform the public about government activity.

Dem Congressman and Longtime Biden Ally Says Old Joe ‘Didn’t Seem’ to Recognize Him

A Democratic Congressman and longtime ally of Joe Biden has revealed that the president no longer recognizes him.

Seth Moulton, who has represented Massachusetts’s 6th congressional district since 2015, says that he has known Biden for over a decade.

In a column for The Boston Globe in which he joined the chorus of Democrats calling on the 81-year-old to step aside, Moulton said Biden’s memory loss was part of a “deeper problem.”

He explained:

In the early days after my contentious 2014 primary race for the US House of Representatives, when the party establishment had lined up against me, I felt like an outcast even though I had won. Then-Vice President Joe Biden showed up. He held a big rally for my general election campaign in Lynn, and I have treasured him as a mentor and friend ever since.

Perhaps he saw a little of himself in a young upstart taking on an entrenched incumbent. That’s how he won his first race, too. The next year, after I had won the general election, he would invite me to breakfast at the vice president’s house and teach me about Congress. Sometimes he would pick up the phone to comment on a TV interview.

Every time we crossed paths and I caught his eye, he would break into that big, wide Joe Biden grin and say how glad he was to see me. It was like that just last Christmas at the White House Ball.

Yet despite their numerous meetings, Biden had forgotten who he was when the pair met during D-Day celebrations last month:

More recently, I saw him in a small group at Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. For the first time, he didn’t seem to recognize me. Of course, that can happen as anyone ages, but as I watched the disastrous debate a few weeks ago, I have to admit that what I saw in Normandy was part of a deeper problem.

It was a crushing realization, and not because a person I care about had a rough night but because everything is riding on Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump in November. America needs him to win and, like most Americans, I’m no longer confident that he can. The president should bow out of the race.

Moulton joins the growing chorus of Democrats calling on Biden to drop out the race, mainly out of fear that he will lose to Donald Trump.

Biden has so far resisted these calls, although some reports indicate he may drop out as soon as this weekend as a result of mounting pressure from senior party officials.

Whoopi Goldberg Goes After Trump’s Granddaughter, Loses It Over Heartfelt Speech About 45 – ‘Don’t Fall for It!’

So, where were we when we last left Whoopi Goldberg?

To the best of my recollection, the last time the first-among-equals on the ABC flibbertigibbet-fest “The View” had made news by pronouncing her test for presidential fitness in the wake of Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, as she’d taken the intervening week off. TL;DR: As long as he was fit for the job, he was fine.

Her standards of fitness may differ from yours, however, since she said she didn’t care if he accidentally soiled his pants or couldn’t put together a sentence.

Literally.

And not Joe Biden “literally,” as in “figuratively, but in bold 20-pt. font,” but literally literally.

Whoopi: “I don’t care if [Biden] pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, okay, maybe it’s time to go…I have poopy day all the time. All the time.” pic.twitter.com/QlMHzH8LF9

So, verbal incoherence and fecal incontinence: no problemo. Donald Trump’s granddaughter humanizing the GOP nominee at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee? Hold it right there — time for a freakout!

Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Haydon, took to the stage on the third night of the convention to give a speech that was one of the high points of the night.

“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country,” the 17-year-old Kai said.

“He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking,” she said. “He always wants to know how we’re doing in school. When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me.”

She also mentioned the pall that still hangs over the American body politic: the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday that wounded the former president in the ear and killed one audience member.

“A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,” the teenager said to cheers from delegates.

“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you.”

As a father, I could not be more proud of my daughter Kai and the amazing job she did last night. She reached out to me on Monday morning and simply said she feels very strongly that she wants to talk about her grandfather at the RNC and she nailed it! pic.twitter.com/8QXiPO4jlu

So, incoherence and incontinence don’t really register with Whoopi, but this touched a nerve.

“Now, for me, I have a lot of faith in the American people,” Goldberg said during Thursday morning’s show.

“And I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they’re trying to humanize him and change your idea about who this guy is,” she said.

“Don’t fall for that!” she exclaimed.

Yes, whatever you do, don’t humanize someone who has constantly been referred to as subhuman and a threat to democracy. People might start realizing that he’s a hazard to the country and try to stop him by any means necessary, including what happened on Saturday.

Whoopi has now officially exited the orbit of reality.

The real threat to the nation — a president who is physically and mentally unfit for the task on an organic, not perceived, level, and whose condition has been assiduously hidden from the American people by a phalanx of aides and apparatchiks — is perfectly fine, even if he soils his pants or mumbles words no one can understand because they were not put together in an order where they could be understood.

But humanizing a human being who just survived an assassination attempt and is his party’s nominee for the presidency — and also presents none of these problems?

Well, that’s just going too far.

Hollywood Leftist George Takei Claims Trump Was Not Actually Hit By a Bullet, Needs a ‘Doctor’s Report’ to Prove It

Hollywood leftist George Takei has suggested that Donald Trump was not actually hit by a bullet in the assassination attempt against him last weekend.

Posting on the X platform, the Star Trek star argued that if Trump had really been hit by a bullet then he would have a doctor’s report to show for it.

“Call me skeptical, but if Trump’s ear really had been hit by a bullet, he would be holding a doctor’s report on it way up high and waving it around to the press like an upside down Bible,” Takei wrote.

Takei, who is one of Hollywood’s most severe sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome and has previously advocated for pedophilia, is one of numerous leftists to claim that Trump is either exaggerating his injuries from the assassination attempt, which was inches away from killing him.

When people say they don’t want Biden to run again, the biggest reason is that he’s too old. When they say they don’t want Trump to run again, the biggest reason is that he is a criminal who will destroy our democracy. Do people honestly think there is any equivalence here?

Mark Hamill, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, mocked the “ludicrously oversized bandage” Trump was wearing at the RNC and suggested it was all for show.

“1st APPEARANCE of ludicrously oversized ear bandage, apparently not needed prior to tonight,” Hamill also wrote on the X platform.

Quick Video of JD Vance Shows What Kamala Harris Will Have to Debate – Enormous Threat to Biden-Harris Ticket

When it comes to J.D. Vance, Vice President Kamala Harris might have spoken too soon.

Soon after former President Donald Trump announced Vance as his running mate in the 2024 election, Harris called the Ohio senator to congratulate him and “express her hope that the two can meet in the vice presidential debate,” NBC News reported Monday.

If President Joe Biden is still in the race, and Harris is still in the No. 2 slot on the Democratic ticket as November gets closer, she might get more than she’s bargaining for.

For most Americans, Vance, the freshman senator from Ohio, is nowhere near the kind of household name that Kamala Harris is, but a short compilation of videos from Vance’s public appearances, published by The Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday, gives a working introduction.

The five-minute video begins with Vance on the debate stage with now-former Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, his opponent during his debut 2022 campaign for Senate. It ends with a clip from February 2023, showing Vance excoriating Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg during a Fox News interview.

Check it out below:

Vance comes across as knowledgeable, competent and likable — even beyond the confines of conservative politics. Those aren’t words often applied to Kamala Harris in public, outside of her background in criminal law.

Harris is also not known for her skills as a serious debater in the political realm. Her best-known moment on a debate stage came during a 2019 Democratic primary debate when she essentially smeared then-nomination rival Joe Biden as a racist for opposing mandatory school busing.

“I do not believe you’re a racist,” she began — which gave the game away.

Anyone else remember when Kamala Harris accused Joe Biden of being a racist during the debates? pic.twitter.com/wePszWfEvx

— Proud Elephant (@ProudElephantUS) July 15, 2024

Her 2020 debate against then-Vice President Mike Pence was more memorable for a fly that landed on Pence’s forehead than for anything either candidate said — though Harris’ imperious, condescending “Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking” moments might have been effective in establishing her as a formidable presence, but they might just as well have rubbed all but committed Democrats the wrong way.

The dynamics of a Harris-Vance debate will be different, too.

Pence was defending an administration caught in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic — almost the first half-hour of the 90-minute debate was dominated by COVID. Even the sterling economic and foreign policy record the Trump White House had posted to that point was taking a back seat to the contemporary concerns of fall 2020.

In a Vance-Harris contest, it will be Harris who is defending — and she’ll have far more openings for Vance to attack — the border invasion, inflation, Biden’s stunning weakness on foreign policy — and far fewer accomplishments to fall back on.

As The Daily Caller video makes clear, Vance is an articulate spokesman for the conservative side from racial issues (he’s married to an Indian-American woman and the father of biracial children), to border security, to denouncing the political prosecutions of Donald Trump.

Those are all likely to be contested grounds in any debate between the vice presidential candidates, and Vance has clearly shown he can hold his own.

After watching Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s vice president, Americans should have plenty of reasons to doubt she can hold hers.

If Biden is still on the ticket come the fall, if Harris is still the Democratic candidate for vice president, Vance doesn’t just present a challenge to her keeping the job. He presents a threat — and it’s enormous.

Victor Reacts: Is Joe Dropping Out or Staying in? Does He Even Know? (VIDEO)

Is Joe Biden staying in the race? Is he dropping out of the race? Does anyone know? Heck, does Joe Biden himself even know?

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Biden’s campaign is desperately lashing out at reporters as Joe Biden convalesces at his Rehoboth Beach house.

Joe Biden was last seen in public struggling to get into his presidential motorcade after he announced he had Covid.

The damaging leaks are increasing amid rumors of an open convention.

According to a leak to NBC News, Biden’s family is discussing an exit plan for Joe Biden.

“Members of President Joe Biden’s family have discussed what an exit from his campaign might look like, according to two people familiar with the discussions,” NBC News reported.

“The overall tone of the conversations has been that any exit plan — should Biden decide to take that step, as some of his closest allies increasingly believe he will — should put the party in the best position to beat former President Donald Trump while also being worthy of the more than five decades he has served the country in elected office, these people said.” the outlet reported.

Biden’s team is scrambling to take control of the narrative as the media piles on.

A Biden campaign email was sent out Friday morning: “Joe Biden has made it more than clear: He’s in this race and he’s in it to win it. Moreover, he’s the presumptive nominee — there is no plan for an alternative nominee. In a few short weeks, Joe Biden will be the official nominee.”

If the oligarchs of the Democrat party actually decide to yank Joe Biden, talk about “undemocratic.” Removing the presumptive nominee in the eleventh hour hardly seems to respect the voice of the Democrat voters that cast their ballot for him during their primary. After years of lying about Biden’s mental fitness, now they don’t want to sleep in the bed they made.

This might end up one of the most interesting presidential election cycles of our lives.

Hulk Hogan: Trump’s MAGA Icon and Political Game-Changer! Democrats Will Struggle to Counter ‘Trumpamania’.

By Guest Contributor Richard Luthmann

The Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee ended with a bang, hailed as one of modern political history’s most successful political conventions. As Democrats scramble to counter the Republican platform and Donald Trump’s presence (and figure out their candidate), they face an unexpected challenge: Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan Rips His Shirt on The RNC Stage

Terry Gene Bollea, known worldwide as Hulk Hogan, remains the world’s most recognized wrestling star. He has been the face of professional wrestling since the 1980s and is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers ever. Now, he’s thrown his weight behind Donald Trump, amplifying the MAGA message.

“All you lowlifes, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother. What are you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?”

Hogan’s words were met with thunderous applause at the convention.

The pro wrestling icon’s vocal support for Trump is problematic for Democrats. He embodies MAGA principles even before Trump’s rise. His messages of personal discipline and patriotism resonate with many voters over 39, reminding them of the Reagan Era and the recent high-water mark of perceived American Greatness.

“Train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins. Be true to yourself. Be true to your country. Be a real American,” Hogan preached during his wrestling heyday and echoed at the RNC.

The nostalgia of the 1980s, with its simpler times, safer streets, and clear rules, is a potent tool for the MAGA movement. Hogan, a relic from that era, sells this vision because he lived it. He promises to bring that simplicity back, a message that resonates deeply with Trump’s base and beyond.

Hogan’s endorsement could be a game-changer for Trump, rallying his base and attracting undecided voters. The Democrats face a formidable challenge in countering the appeal of Hulk Hogan, the embodiment of Trumpamania and the MAGA movement.

The pro wrestling legend’s influence can drive voter turnout. His appeal to wrestling fans, many of whom are part of Trump’s demographic, can mobilize a significant voter bloc. Data from Magna Global shows that WWE’s audience median age jumped from 31 in 2000 to 47 in 2016, indicating that the fans who grew up with Hogan are still engaged.

Furthermore, 40% of WWE’s 2020 audience were women, a demographic that Trump can leverage through Hogan’s influence. WWE’s shift towards women’s empowerment since 2015 has broadened its appeal, making Hogan’s endorsement even more valuable.

Hogan’s speech at the RNC was filled with admiration for Trump.

“I’m in a room of real Americans,” Hogan declared, calling Trump “my hero” and a “gladiator.” He added, “We’re going to bring America back together, one real American at a time.”

Though he retired from wrestling in 2012, Hogan has remained a political presence, occasionally sharing his aspirations. On Fox and Friends, he said, “If you need a president or vice president, I’ll volunteer and take this country over, and I’ll rule with an iron fist.”

His political ties include Roger Stone urging him to run for U.S. Senate in Florida in 2018.

Hogan’s endorsement is not without controversy. He was cut from WWE in 2015 after audio of him using racial slurs was released. Despite this, he was reinstated to the Hall of Fame after an apology. His return to the public eye as a political figure at the RNC shows his enduring popularity and the weight his words carry.

Linda McMahon, wife of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, also spoke at the convention, reinforcing Trump’s message.

“He has the heart of a lion and the soul of a warrior,” she said. “He would stand at the gates of hell to defend our country.”

UFC CEO Dana White introduced Trump, solidifying the support from the fighting world and the “tough-guy business.”

Hogan and Trump’s relationship dates back to WrestleMania IV and V, held in the late 1980s at Trump Plaza. Hogan reminisced about Trump’s resilience through impeachments, lawsuits, and hearings, calling him the “toughest of them all.”

“When they took a shot at my hero and tried to kill the next president of the United States, enough was enough. Let Trumpamania run wild, brother. Let Trumpamania rule again,” Hogan declared.

The crowd roared as Hogan tore off his shirt, revealing a red Trump-Vance tank top. “I didn’t come here as Hulk Hogan. But I just had to give you a little taste,” he said. “I am proud to support my hero as the next president of this United States.”

Trump, smiling from his box, listened as Hogan continued.

“I want my kids, your kids, and all those little TV Hulkamaniacs out there to live the American dream, too,” Hogan said. “This November, guys, we can save the American dream for everyone.”

Hogan’s final words echoed through the convention hall: “What are you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?” The applause was deafening, a testament to his enduring influence.

RINO Jeff Timmer, Said Trump Was a “Malignant tumor” Who “Must be removed” and “forever cut away and irradiated” In 2020—Is His Latest Sick Tweet Evidence He’s Whipping Up Violence Against Trump Again?

Members of the Lincoln Project consist of irrelevant men who call themselves Republicans but have never made a notable contribution to the Republican Party. Instead of joining forces to help everyday Americans fight back against Democrats’ push to strip them of their freedoms and ability to achieve the American dream, they’ve chosen to attack the one man who has the ability and the backbone to defeat the Left.

President Trump embraces the retired fire chief Corey suit and helmet

When it comes to “flyover states” in America, members of the Lincoln Project fail to understand why these blue-collar workers, miners, farmers, and parents of kids who are active-duty military members will walk over broken glass for President Trump—the only politician since President Reagan willing to fight for them.

Their lack of understanding or inability to connect with everyday Americans is precisely why they hate Trump.

The arrogant left-of-center RINOs, or “Republicans In Name Only,” were co-founded by John Weaver, a former presidential advisor to Never-Trump candidates Governor John Kasich in 2016 and Senator John McCain in 2000 and again in 2008.

In January 2021, the New York Times reported that John Weaver, the co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project group, sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received the messages.

Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver

His solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school, and then more pointed ones after he turned 18.

Another member of the Lincoln Project is George Conway, Kellyanne Conway’s former husband, who used his wife’s popularity with millions of Americans to boost his image on social media with the Left. Over and over again, the man 99.999% of America wouldn’t be able to pick out in a line-up, berated his wife and his wife’s boss, President Trump, while he used his wife as a punching bag and a way to get to President Trump. While the Lincoln Project member actively posted hateful remarks aimed at Trump for clicks, his family life crumbled and his teenage daughter imitated his sick behavior.

The 15-year-old, who now identifies as a “pansexual,” mocked her mother on social media as a way to gain fans and openly criticized her dad for ignoring her at home, as she claims she had to tweet to him to get his attention.

Jeff Timmer is a fake Republican who lives in the state of Michigan. He is also a key member of the Lincoln Project, a group of irrelevant former so-called Republicans whose accomplishments are limited and whose understanding of middle America, including their priorities, their needs, or their desires, is scant.

Only one month before the 2020 election, @jefftimmer warned his Democrat & Trump-hating fake Republican followers that Trump is a “MALIGNANT TUMOR,” which “MUST BE REMOVED.”

I don’t know about you, but this sure seems like his warning about Trump being “the greatest threat the United States has ever faced” could certainly be understood by many as inciting violence against President Trump—again!

To make matters worse, political “reporter” Craig Mauger, who writes for The Detroit News, Michigan’s largest “news” publication, ignores Timmer’s grotesque tweets about Trump and his claim that he now considers himself an Independent that will vote for Democrats, and relies on him for commentary on the state of the Republican Party in Michigan (see tweet below).

Why would @CraigDMauger, aka Pravda Craig, interview a guy who said in 2020, that Trump is a “malignant tumor” that “must be removed.”

Aside from members of the Lincoln Project working to get clicks on their individual social media accounts and raising money from individuals or groups who hate Trump to make dishonest ads that perpetuate more hatred for Trump, is there anything of value these insignificant, gutless men do to help America?

Flashback: Crowdstrike, the Company Behind the Russia Hacked Emails Scandal that Offered No Evidence During the Investigation, is Behind the IT Outages that Grounded Flights Across America the Day Following the RNC

Crowdstrike

There were major “IT outages” reported across the world, affecting banking systems, emergency services and airlines’ communications. The FAA website currently shows seven airports closed, including LaGuardia International in New York City, Logan International in Boston, and Harry Reid in Las Vegas.

Flights across the country were shut down since last night only resuming service later this morning.

OUTAGES

– Biggest IT outage ever according to experts

– Major banks, media, airports and airlines affected by major IT outage

– Rail services disrupted in parts of US and UK

– Payment systems impacted in different parts of the world, including Australia and the UK.

— The Spectator Index (@spectatorindex) July 19, 2024

Crowdstrike brands itself as the first cloud-native platform that protects endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data.

It’s also a company that can cause massive chaos across the globe when its systems malfunction.

Many of you may remember that it was also Crowdstrike that was working with the Democrat Party when they blamed the leak of Hillary Clinton’s emails on a suspicious Russian hack. At least, that was the story.

The Gateway Pundit obliterated that false narrative years ago – but only after Democrats used the lie to run an attempted coup against President Trump.

On March 8, 2020 and before on June 16, 2019, we presented arguments against the Mueller gang’s assertion that the DNC was hacked by Russians.

Cyber expert Yaacov Apelbaum posted an incredible report with information basically proving that the DNC was not hacked by the Russians.

Apelbaum’s first argument was this –

According to the WaPo (using CrowdStrike, DOJ, and their other usual hush-hush government sources in the know), the attack was perpetrated by a Russian unit lead by Lieutenant Captain Nikolay Kozachek who allegedly crafted a malware called X-Agent and used it to get into the network and install keystroke loggers on several PCs. This allowed them to see what the employees were typing and take screenshots of the employees’ computer.

This is pretty detailed information, but if this was the case, then how did the DOJ learn all of these ‘details’ and use them in the indictments without the FBI ever forensically evaluating the DNC/HRC computers? And since when does the DOJ, an organization that only speaks the language of indictments use hearsay and 3rd parties like the British national Matt Tait (a former GCHQ collector and a connoisseur of all things related to Russian collusion), CrowdStrike, or any other evidence lacking chain of custody certification as a primary source for prosecution?

The second point by Apelbaum was this-

… that three of the Russian GRU officers on the DOJ wanted list were allegedly working concurrently on multiple non-related projects like interfering with the 2016 United States elections (both HRC and DNC) while at the same time they were also allegedly hacking anti-doping agencies (Images 2-3).

Above are pictures of the individuals the FBI says were working on both the DNC/HRC email hacking and the Olympic doping projects.

The same guys were working on both projects which is all but impossible. (Do we really know if they’re even Russians?)

Apelbaum argues –

The fact that the three had multiple concurrent high impact and high visibility project assignments is odd because this is not how typical offensive cyber intelligence teams operate. These units tend to be compartmentalized, they are assigned to a specific mission, and the taskforce stays together for the entire duration of the project.

Next Apelbaum questioned the Mueller gang’s assertion that the ‘hacker’ named Guccifer 2.0 was a Russian –

Any evidence that Guccifer 2.0 is Russian should be evaluated while keeping these points in mind:

He used a Russian VPN service to cloak his IP address, but did not use TOR. Using a proxy to conduct cyber operations is a SOP [Standard Operating Procedure] in all intelligence and LEA [Law Enforcement Agency] agencies. [i.e. Russia would have masked their VPN service]

He used the AOL email service that captured and forwarded his IP address and the same AOL email to contact various media outlets on the same day of the attack. This is so overt and amateurish that its unlikely to be a mistake and seems like a deliberate attempt to leave traceable breadcrumbs.

He named his Office User account Феликс Эдмундович (Felix Dzerzhinsky), after the founder of the Soviet Secret Police. Devices and accounts used in offensive cyberspace operations use random names to prevent tractability and identification. Why would anyone in the GRU use this pseudonym (beside the obvious reason) is beyond comprehension.

He copied the original Trump opposition research document and pasted it into a new .dotm template (with an editing time of about 2 minutes). This resulted in a change of the “Last Modified by” field from “Warren Flood” to “Феликс Эдмундович” and the creation of additional Russian metadata in the document. Why waste the time and effort doing this?

About 4 hours after creating the ‘Russian’ version of the document, he exported it to a PDF using LibreOffice 4.2 (in the process he lost/removed about 20 of the original pages). This was most likely done to show additional ‘Russian fingerprints’ in the form of broken hyperlink error messages in Russian (Images 4 and 5). Why bother with re-formatting and converting the source documents? Why not just get the raw data out in the original format ASAP?

Apelbaum next discusses Guccifer 2.0 –

In June 21, 2016, Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai from Vice Motherboard interviewed a person who identified himself as “Guccifer 2.0”. During their on-line chat session, the individual claimed that he was Romanian (see transcript of the interview below). His poor Romanian language skills were later used to unmask his Russian identify.

…I’m not a scientific linguist nor do I even know where to find one if my life depended on it, but I’m certain that you can’t reliably determine nationality based on someone impersonating another language or from the use of fake metadata in files. This elaborate theory also has the obvious flaw of assuming that the Russian intelligence services are dumb enough to show up to an interview posing as Romanians without actually being able to read and write flaunt Romanian.

After providing a couple more examples of why the Russian story doesn’t stick, Apelbaum closes with this –

The bottom line is that if we want to go beyond the speculative trivia, the pseudo science, and the bombastic unverified claims, we have to ask the real tough questions, mainly: is Guccifer 2.0 even the real attacker and how did he circumvent all of the logs during several weeks of repeated visits while downloading close to 2 GB of data?

Esteemed NSA whistleblower Bill Binney reported in June 2019 that there was no way Russians hacked the DNC based on the speed of the transfer of the data that was hacked. But according to Apelbaum the transfer speeds is a minor issue here. It’s just an indicator that it would have been difficult for Guccifer 2 who was sitting in Romania to access the DNC system remotely.

Per an illustration from Apelbaum, Guccifer 2 is depicted as the red devil icon below:

This illustration shows the Crowdstrike was obviously false in its claims that Russia hacked the DNC.

This is because:

1. If Guccifer 2 did it from Romania (the red devil icon on the left of the illustration), he needed a 23 Mbit/s transfer rate. At the time of this hack in 2016, Romania was only supporting 16Mbit/s speeds. But to do that he had to go through all of the red hell in the middle of the illustration, which I don’t believe he did based on the poor technical skill set he demonstrated during his interview with Motherboard vice.

2. If the leak came from the inside (the half green half red icon in the right side of illustration), he had the full 23 Mbit/s transfer rate because he just plugged-in a USB drive to the computer. He also didn’t need any hacking skills because he most likely had full system access.

Finally, we know that WikiLeaks stated numerous times that Russia did not provide them with the emails they leaked in 2016 and Julian Assange stated that WikiLeaks had nothing to do with Russia.

But of course the Mueller gang never interviewed WikiLeaks in an effort to determine how they received the Clinton emails. Of course the Mueller team could not risk WikiLeaks saying the emails were not received from Russia which would destroy their ‘Russia hacked the DNC’ fairy tale.
Based on information available back in 2020, we now know there is no evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC. This was made up from the start.
