Hacked computer server that handled DNC email remains out of reach of Russia investigators

"It is perhaps the key piece of forensic evidence in Russia’s suspected efforts to sway the November presidential election, but federal investigators have yet to get their hands on the hacked computer server that handled email from the Democratic National Committee.

Indeed, the only cybersecurity specialists who have taken a look at the server are from CrowdStrike, the Irvine, California-based private cybersecurity company that the DNC hired to investigate the hack — but which has come under fire itself for its work.

Some critics say CrowdStrike’s evidence for blaming Russia for the hack is thin. Members of Congress say they still believe Russia was responsible but wonder why the DNC has never allowed federal investigators to get a look at the key piece of evidence: the server. Either way, a key “witness” in the political scandal consuming the Trump administration remains beyond the reach of investigators.

“I want to find out from the company [that] did the forensics what their full findings were,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is leading the Judiciary Committee’s inquiry, told The Washington Times.

Scrutinizing the DNC server hack and CrowdStrike’s analysis has not factored heavily in multiple probes exploring the Russia issue. But behind the scenes, discussions are growing louder, congressional sources say."

That's a very sticky situation for the DNC. They should want the truth to be known about the hacking of their computer system, but they certainly would not want people seeing too much of what is on it. It seems that they prefer their privacy to the most thorough investigation of the hacking. I can't say that I blame them, especially if the evidence of Russian involvement is limited.

Kind of like the only conclusion you can logically draw...Whatever is on that server is not worth proving the Russians hacked it. 

Moving on...
