Or would you want to wait for the authorities first? The question for me is about the integrity of the image that the FBI examined and not the physical server itself.

DC Tom Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 18 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Your point makes no sense as the contents of a physical server itself can be manipulated. IMO it's better to lock down and preserve an original and instead provide an exact digital copy for an examination. As a CISSP, that's exactly what I would do. Because you're thinking in technical terms of data integrity. It's a procedural requirement for maintaining the chain of evidence: you need the original in your possession, in essence to demonstrate the copies you work with are faithful. It's not a technical requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, doesn't the trustworthiness of that information entirely depend upon who is running those systems and providing the images to the FBI? In this case, CrowdStrike - a private contractor with heavy ties to both the FBI and DNC. Considering the partisan nature of this investigation and scandal, wouldn't it be in everyone's benefit for the FBI to have insisted they do their own analysis - if only so they could tell the American people in their report to trust the FBI, rather than an unknown private entity like CrowdStrike? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 44 minutes ago, DC Tom said: Really? That's...stupid. What about the heroism of Russia in 2003 opposing the invasion of Iraq, and in 2007 when they invaded Georgia but were evil and Bush didn't do anything but levy sanctions...then in 2008, US-Russia relations were at a crisis because of Bush's antagonistic policies, leading to a "reset" button and the lifting of Bush's Georgia sanctions. Then the dismissal of Romney's 2012 observation that Russia was are greatest geopolitical foe, and Obama having "more flexibility after the elections" to treat with Putin. Then 2013, the "red line" fiasco leads to the virtual abandonment of Middle Eastern policy to Russian interests. Only after that, with the annexation of the Crimea and invasion of Eastern Ukraine does Russia suddenly become a "foe" again, leading to even stronger sanctions. And now, with Trump arming Ukraine, implementing even greater sanctions, expelling Russian diplomats, and bombing Russians in Syria...he's "weak" dealing with our "enemy." That's a much better string of examples of Democratic hypocrisy. And it's not even remotely a complete set of examples. Fifteen years of blatant foreign policy inconsistency for no other reason than to chase a domestic principle of "Everything a Republican ever does is wrong." I have no doubt that, if Trump broke off relations with Russia, the Democrats would rail against it for no reason other than to be anti-Trump. So you'll pardon me if I stopped taking them seriously. But my Facebook feed — littered today with “Impeach” messages and posts showing the definition of the word “traitor” — doesn’t mention any of that!
