1. I've been saying it for some time, they are all now Russian Repugs.

Traitors to our country & its laws and way of life.

2. the 4th of july trip to Russia?

[malaise]

3. This is HUGE

Rec

[uponit7771]

4. K&R, DAMN !!!!

[triron]

5. Apparently someone sent to Rachel Maddow (and others, including Hillary Clinton).

[FakeNoose]

6. Wow! this is a great find

Maybe there are secret messages between Chump and Pootie on here? Or between Moscow Mitch and Pootie? This info should go to the Feds immediately.

[stillcool]

27. Barr will know exactly what to with it...

[padah513]

28. Unfortunately yes he will...

[BigmanPigman]

7. For how long has this been going on?

This is what it says...

"Here it is.
This site is owned/run by a leading GOP digital operative. He runs systems on servers physically located in Russia, and advertised it.
Mitch McConnell is a client. Ben Carson is a client. Gingrich is a client. And many more."

Tell the world."

10. Advertised its merits only to GOP gang members

Subpoena-resistant. Geez.

[BlueWI]

8. Is this a valid story?

Don't know the source. Alarming - but is it true?

[blm]

12. Chris Vickery is a Security expert

[BlueWI]

23. That's not a verification

but thanks for the post.

I will look further just to be sure before assuming this is true.

[blm]

30. I was merely identifying him.

[BlueWI]

33. Sure thing.

Thanks for your OP.

[pecosbob]

9. Address redirects to ISP

didn't exist or no longer exists.

[blm]

11. Reading the thread now

Said found thru way back machine

[pecosbob]

13. May have already been removed for some time...we'll have to rely on the tweeter for details

on when the screencaps were taken.

[blm]

46. Earlier thread has Papadopolous popping up

Going back to 2013-14. Russia must have had a reason for funding and promoting Carson back then.

[BigmanPigman]

15. I just tried it on my tablet and it still connects.

I don't even have twitter or try it this way....here is a copy of the address.
https://mobile.twitter.com/VickerySec

[pecosbob]

16. Sorry I wan't clear...the web adddress www.civicmerit.com redirects to the ISP

as it would if it had recently been shut down. Not the tweet itself. This is the web address of the site shown in the tweeted screen captures. Also searched the web for info on the site, but found zip, so if it was being advertised it was being done very discreetly.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Oh, I get it, sort of.

I am not tech savvy.

[blm]

19. Offered only to inner circle Republicans

The name Ron Robinson is popping up. Gonna dig

[FakeNoose]

21. This guy Chris Vickery does dark web/deep web searches

I think he's a consultant for the FBI, or even if he isn't, he's sending his tweets to the FBI. The web pages Vickery shows in the tweet are snapshots from "Wayback" which freezes old pages that have been deleted. They aren't really deleted, they're rendered inaccessible, but Mr. Vickery knows how to find them.

I think this is sensational and I'm looking forward to learning what else he has.

[blm]

22. I wonder if this dropping shoe is what triggered LeningradLindsey

last week.

[ancianita]

25. Chris Vickery also doesn't say who the GOP operative is.

[blm]

36. Here's an earlier dig thread that led to the servers find -

[ancianita]

38. This here is some fifth column fuckery. Thanks for the link. Damn.

[Baltimike]

14. WTF??? nt

[riversedge]

17. I wlll have to bookmark to read more closely lately.

[lpbk2713]

20. Along with their porn stash.

Untouchable by the FBI.

[ancianita]

24. What does "subpoena-resistant" mean? That the FBI can't confiscate them?

There's still plenty that goes through them and from them that can be confiscated.

This whole silence from the FBI about investigating funds of GOP people really ticks me off.

So they use a Russian cloud.

Interesting.

[blm]

31. That Russia won't have to comply with subpoena.

Trying to glean more from the last 2 days of tweets when the first shoe dropped.

[ancianita]

37. Thanks. I figured that.

[ancianita]

26. I gotta say, his twitter chat is pretty titillating.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

29. Somebody help me out here, please.

I'm not understanding any of this. It seems to be significant, but I don't know what it all means.

[Ok, I'm older than dirt, and the least tech-savvy person on Earth.] I don't do twitter. I only just got rid of my clam-shell cell phone . . . So, what does this mean ? And where it reads "server" -- is that a person or a device ?

Anybody ? Please, no giggling.

[ancianita]

34. A server is a machine that allows the relay or storage (like "the cloud") of others computer com-

munications. My son and/or his friends -- or anyone, really -- can use their computer as a server for a network they set up.

But big scale servers exist everywhere from Google to Apple to any Internet Service Provider of any country because they deal with millions of computer users.

Wikipedia, as a global information service, has to use massive server power to enable communications within its content development and relays worldwide.

Read its explanation below. The simplest way I can explain it is as a point of directing Internet traffic or Internet storage of communications.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

39. Thank you and I appreciate your post,

but what is the significance of that in the context of this OP news ?

Subpoena-proof servers means that no one can __________ them. (Fill in the blank for me, please.)

[ancianita]

43. subpoena any communications from server clients, because Russia never cooperates with our FBI

or clandestine services.

The significance is that a security industry expert dug this info out, somehow and allegedly reported it to the FBI.

Now, perhaps some hackers can hit up the host, civicmerit, and the servers they use in what's called a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. It would slow down the communications of the clients, and it could go on continuously, and it could discourage them from further use of the service.

But likely, the secrecy has been established and much evidence isn't available. It's also hearsay evidence of conspiring with each other through a declared hostile foreign adversary. It's the crime of secrecy, abuse of power, which elected representatives may not engage in and shows bad faith, unethical service, breaking their oaths of office.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

45. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Now I understand.

Thank you.

[pecosbob]

35. Web pages are stored on a computer server somewhere in the world

The server is owned and maintained by the web hosting service, i.e GoDaddy or COX or whoever. In this case the web server was located in Russia outside of U.S. legal jurisdiction, therefore a U.S. court could not gain access to any data stored there even with a subpeona.

So the service was created to allow Republican American politicos to communicate with each other on sensitive subjects and store sensitive data there in contravention to a number of U.S. laws regarding recordkeeping by government officials.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

40. But I thought that anyone could access intel through The Cloud.

Does this mean that those servers are . . . "cloud-proof" ? I apologize for my lack of applicable/correct terms.

[pecosbob]

42. The Cloud refers to local vs. non-local storage of data

Either your data is stored on your computer (local storage) or on another computer network (cloud storage) usually owned and maintained by large ISPs such as Google and ATT. If you are say a large insurance company you would want to have secure storage for your data and it may be more cost effective to sub-contract the storage of your data to another company, a network storage provider. rather than maintain the equipment yourself. Many of these cloud storage networks are maintained here in the U.S. but some are hosted abroad, where U.S. law enforcement and courts may or may not have access to data stored there.

This server would have very limited access to particular individuals and would act as their own personal cloud or storage space and communications channel safe from the prying eyes of the FBI or Dems or the courts. Evidently it was also acting as a portal for accessing voter information, sort of a 7-Eleven for information to micro-target voters.

So it would be a very special little cloud for a few people and invisible to everyone else.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

47. Thank you, Sir.

So, because this little cloud lives in Russia, American intelligence agencies can't see it.

Now, if you're an American elected official, you'd want to use this little Russian cloud so that no American oversight can "see" what you're up to. Sounds very suspicious to me.

So much for transparency in our government.

[pecosbob]

48. Ding ding ding

[Haggis for Breakfast]

49. What did I win ?

[pecosbob]

50. Wish Trump would get his just desserts like Gus

Breaking Bad television reference

[ancianita]

44. Clouds are literally servers. The Cloud doesn't cover the Earth. Google has a cloud. Apple has one.

Other countries can have their own clouds.

[KPN]

32. I want to see more before I get any hopes

up on this. If it is true, and there’s evidence, this really does seem rather treasonous. .... Oh, the webs they weave.

[blm]

51. Seth Abramson is now giving it focus

After Vickery’s find. This story may be breaking wider.

[KPN]

52. That would be nice. I truly hope we get to see

the bloated pig completely fall apart. I just hope they’ve changed the code and taken the nuclear button away from him before his break down gets too far. Whoever the fuck “they” might be.

[blm]

41. Earlier thread that led to find, Papadopolous pops up. Didn't know he worked first

For Ben Carson. 2013-14? Was Carson being groomed as fallback dupe?
