if this is true, I hope they can trace the hacker. Comey was smart enough to know this could happen and he took precautions to keep his electronic evidence so he had copies.

Snip: Director Comey’s own primary work computer, and other computers in and around his former office, were fitted with sophisticated intelligence community software allowing the Justice Department to see precisely how and when they were attacked.


Interesting, sounds like someone was caught and chances are they will probably talk.

Once the bad guys connect the removable drive to their network a virus is released that destroys all databanks.

Is Comey smart enough to see his firing coming and set up his computer as a trap? Probably.

Did Trump send his special Body Guard/Fixer over to the FBI offices to deliver the "You're fired letter"? Yes

Is this guy smart enough to copy a HD, but dumb enough to realize FBI computers usually have a lot more security? Probably

Is Trump dumb enough to hand over such a memory stick to his excellent buddies the Russians? Absolutely


So, I will take this as it is, one of those Bleeding edge, Rumor/leak stories for now. We will see if it gets verified or not like this level of what I consider just "Be on the lookout" for confirmation, but don't hold your breath sources. But damn, sometimes the squirrels do find an acorn or two.

Seems like the site has a rather expansive imagination. I'm not really certain its content belongs on DU.
