Russian server connected with a very prominent Russian bank). The activity, as CNN reported, was EXTREMELY odd. Honestly I can't believe the amoun of shit going on with Trump -- if Hillary had pulled ONE of these stunts Gowdy and Chaffetz would have been running hearings for a decade.

The Trump server had contact with two sources that made up 99% of its activity -- the Russia bank and a server connected to the *surprise* big donor DeVos family/foundation (Betsy De Vos of course is now our brilliant, totally deserving Education Secretary).

The numbers were astounding -- the Russian server "looked up" (I don't understand the technical details but the guy they had on said this was EXTREMELY unusual activity) the Trump server thousands of times (close to 3k if I remember correctly). The next highest was the De Vos server at approx 700. Nothing else even came close. This server was on its own, a sort of "secret" server that is now part of the FBI investigation.
