Hahah I had a coworker quit to go work for a company as a "Computer Scientist" made all the rest of us Mooks feel inferior as we're only merely Programmers.
Last report he was spotted 3 months in a row at McDonald's using the free WiFi to send out resumes.

Yes, this what was what I heard about. This is not good. I am not for massive tension with the Russians, but Trump may have his allegiances mixed up.

The Intercept 11-01-16: Here’s the Problem With the Story Connecting Russia to Donald Trump’s Email Server.

I tend to think that the story is a nothingburger.

But that just means I'm not a Fat Birther supporter: I actually examine evidence before deciding that a story supporting my cause is right, and can admit when something doesn't jibe.

What is a "Computer Scientist"? Is that like a liberal media term for an IT guy?

Any article that quotes IT guys whose living is from Defense and Security Related Businesses and Government Agencies, that also quotes Svidomy sufferer Karen Diwisha, is a neocon project.

The sekrit connection between Trump and Russia is actually a server run by Hotel Marketing company Cendyn that provides the same services for Hyatt and Sheraton.

It's Cendyn that registered and who controls the trump-email.com domain, as seen in the WHOIS information. That the Trump Organization is the registrant, but not the admin, demonstrates that Trump doesn't have direct control over it.

When the domain information was changed last September 23, it was Cendyn who did the change, not the Trump Organization. This link lists a bunch of other hotel-related domains that Cendyn likewise controls, some Trump related, some related to Trump's hotel competitors, like Hyatt and Sheraton.

Cendyn's claim they are reusing the server for some other purpose is likely true. If you are an enterprising journalist with $399 in your budget, you can find this out. Use the website http://reversewhois.domaintools.com/ to get a complete list of the 641 other domains controlled by Cendyn, then do an MX query for each one to find out which of them is using mail1.trump-email.com as their email server.

This is why we can't have nice things on the Internet. Investigative journalism is dead. The Internet is full of clues like this if only somebody puts a few resources into figuring things out. For example, organizations that track spam will have information on exactly which promotions this server has been used for in the recent past. Those who operate public DNS resolvers, like Google's 8.8.8.8, OpenDNS, or Dyn, may have knowledge which domain was related to mail1.trump-email.com.

Indeed, one journalist did call one of the public resolvers, and found other people queried this domain than the two listed in the Slate story -- debunking it. I've heard from other DNS malware researchers (names remain anonymous) who confirm they've seen lookups for "mail1.trump-email.com" from all over the world, especially from tools like FireEye that process lots of spam email. One person claimed that lookups started failing for them back in late June -- and thus the claim of successful responses until September are false. In other words, the "change" after the NYTimes queried Alfa Bank may not be because Cendyn (or Trump) changed anything, but because that was the first they checked and noticed that lookup errors were happening.

Here is the hidden communication from Secret Agent Orange via his so-called "Cedyn" server to his handler undercover at AlfaBank in Russia:

This Intercept story has the reasons why they, along with the NYT and even WaPo, were pitched this story long ago and rejected it.

Here is the PR Announcement of Trump Org hiring Cendyn to manage their hotel marketing:

Bwahahahahaha

The unraveling of the bloc of failed losers who vote Clinton is epic. Hopefully, they will grow up and learn from all of this.

It's a 1970's term for a geek.
