      I'm quite familiar with the story. I was pitched it in October 2016. For a whole bunch of reasons I found it suspect.

      No thanks. Again, I have a long list of reasons to believe it's a BS story.

      Yes - I'm familiar w/these pro & cons & have followed debate There is not enough info from the DNS lookups alone to determine if something fishy was going on - would need the underlying traffic to tell this Some good pros say it's fishy, some say innocuous I'd need more data

      The point was that this was worthy of discussion: DeVos (Prince?)/Trump/Alfa Bank should explain their interaction. FBI/NYTimes shut it down -not tech people - with "no trump russia connection". It was data. It was true. There was a connection. No one cared.

      Did you really miss all the tech people who blew this theory up repeatedly? Did you miss that Spectrum (NOT DeVos, no matter how many times you repeat that hoax) did explain it, as has Alfa?

      No tech people have "explained" it. Rob objected to the use of data. Some anonymous consultant claimed it was spam, while producing neither DNS records nor spam. Alfa Bank sent me multiple FOIA letters. Alfa Bank takes it seriously. You want to own no TrumpRussia? You do you.

          You are literally pointing to your "but her emails" story & NYTimes FBI "no Trump Russia" as reasons the data are, somehow related to your body? That is the basis you use to commit to not re-examining your coverage. Then you echo Hannity, accusing me of a hoax. That is just sad.

          You're right. I didn't point to all the later reporting, involving 3 other entities. And you're right, I pointed out that this is a HOSPITAL, and among the DeVos or Prince linked entities likely to conspire with Trump, about dead last on the list.

          Maybe if you didn't suggest Prince runs a hospital that not even Dick runs day to day, it wouldn't be relevant. But you did. Which is why providing the actual facts to rebut your claims IS relevant.

          Why was the vast majority of the orgs pings to Alfa? The explanation was they were targeting their clients. That’s still.....interesting
