I recall in the weeks prior to the election, there was a thread on DU that reported that the FBI

had traced a server running from Trumps office in Trump Tower to a Russian Bank in Russia and was investigating it. There was a link to an article regarding this story. Does anyone recall that report? If so, does anyone know whether there was any followup to that reporting?

I thought that I had bookmarked it but can't seem to find it. If someone here does recall it and might have bookmarked it, can you let me know, or post a link to the thread here in this thread.

Thanks.

I just copied and pasted from DU and didn't look at the link. I find Heat Street to be a suspect site as it was set up by and is run by Rupert Murdock's organization. I'll look for confirming links.

as well. The first thread indicated that the FBI had obtained a FISA warrant to investigate that server that was owned by Trump and I was looking to see if there was any followup to the original story. If the FBI had obtained a warrant on that server, I'm wondering why we haven't heard any followup.

believe his "news" Let's look for a more trusted source. Snopes says this is unsubstantiated.
