August 16, 2019
8:31 AM ET
All but four of Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails were copied, likely secretly, to a Gmail address called CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, according to a new Senate report.
The FBI says that the account was linked to Paul Combetta, an IT aide Clinton hired who used BleachBit to destroy emails after they were subpoenaed and misled FBI agents.
Combetta said he sent all of her emails to the Gmail account as part of trying to copy them to a new server. Combetta was copying Clinton’s emails off of an old laptop that he was supposed send back in the mail, but there’s no evidence he returned it, according to the Department of Justice Inspector General.
When an intel agent discovered the copying to a third-party account, he said Peter Strzok seemed uninterested. The intel agency feared the email account could be a link to a foreign power, but the FBI refused to explain it to them.
Virtually every single one of Hillary Clinton’s emails were sent, potentially secretly, to a cryptically named Gmail address, according to a new Senate report.
The finding, which has not been previously reported, means that Clinton’s emails, including classified ones and ones which were later deleted, likely existed on Google’s U.S.-based servers. The FBI said in the report that it knew this — and of the suspicious explanation for it — but did not alert other intelligence agencies or the public, according to the report.
The FBI says that the suspicious Gmail address was set up by an IT aide, Paul Combetta, who worked for a company that managed Clinton’s server. Combetta is the same IT aide who used BleachBit to permanently erase copies of Clinton’s emails after they were subpoenaed by the House, misled the FBI about it, and was given immunity from prosecution, all while asking for basic computing advice on Reddit.
Combetta refused to cooperate with the Department of Justice Inspector General and with the authors of the Senate report about his use of the cryptic email address. He previously pleaded the Fifth before Congress in September 2016 about his deletion of emails.
Combetta worked for Platte River Networks, a technology company in Colorado that began managing Clinton’s email server when she decided to house it more professionally than the homemade server in her basement.
Charles McCullough, the Intelligence Community Inspector General, and his investigator Frank Rucker discovered that every one of Clinton’s emails except four were secretly copied to the cryptically named email address, CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, according to the report.
But when Rucker brought the findings to Peter Strzok, the anti-Trump agent who was in charge of the Clinton case for the FBI, he seemed uninterested and did not ask any followup questions, Rucker told Senate investigators.
Staff for GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Charles Grassley of Iowa interviewed Rucker, and released a redacted and paraphrased version of the interview transcript on Wednesday.
Rucker “said that the Carter Heavy Industries email address isn’t somebody Secretary Clinton intentionally communicated with, but it appears in the metadata of almost all of her emails,” the transcript said.
“Mr. Rucker said that his first interaction [with the FBI on the case] was dropping off a packet of information which contained a single printed email that he told the FBI was ‘not a good sign.’ In this email, he said, Secretary Clinton replied to an email that she never received,” it continued.
“He said that he found this data point and reported it to the FBI. He said that he found the Carter Heavy Industries Gmail address, which he had not seen before and that it appeared to be hidden data,” the transcript said.

Strzok ‘dismissive’
“Mr. Rucker said that Mr. Strzok seemed to be ‘aloof and dismissive.’ He said it was as if Mr. Strzok felt dismissive of the relationship between the FBI and ICIG and he was not very warm,” the transcript said.
“He said that Mr. Strzok didn’t ask many questions including any about SAP related issues,” it continued, referring to Special Access Programs, or super-classified contents. “He said that Mr. Strzok seemed ‘nonplused’ by the info, and that he didn’t ask any follow-up questions.”
Rucker also told investigators that an email on Clinton’s server from former congressman and convicted sex offender Anthony Weiner said that Weiner’s email had been hacked and configured to forward all his emails to someone else, further raising Rucker’s suspicions that something similar could be happening on Clinton’s server.
Rucker said that the FBI refused to tell him the explanation for the email address, leaving him concerned.
“Mr. Rucker said that he asked Dean Chappell at the FBI to tell him what Carter Heavy Industries means and how it was inserted into Secretary Clinton’s emails, but he never found out from him or anyone else at the FBI,” the transcript said.
He asked the FBI in an email, “If there is a point in all of this when you (or someone on the team) could explain it to me further, I’d appreciate it,” but the bureau never did, even though ICIG and other agencies had “equities” in the data, according to the report.
“He said he believes that out of professional courtesy it would have been nice if the FBI give them an update on whether they were on to something, or whether it was nothing.” (RELATED: ICIG Agents Conducting Clinton Probe Were Spied On For Weeks, Had Computers Stolen And Trash Sifted Through)
‘Dummy’
The report says that through his lawyer, Combetta refused to speak to both the DOJ IG and Senate investigators, and that “neither the DOJ OIG nor the ICIG have the authority to compel non-agency individuals to provide testimony.”
But his lawyer told the DOJ IG that Combetta simply “made-up” the name Carter Heavy Industries, the report said. He created it in 2012, before Clinton hired Platte River Networks. He told Strzok that in 2014, Clinton aide Monica Hanley mailed him an old laptop containing Clinton’s emails from 2010.
After moving the emails to her new server, he was supposed to wipe the laptop and then mail it back to Hanley, but there is no evidence that he did, according to the DOJ IG, suggesting that a laptop containing Clinton’s emails may be unaccounted for.
Combetta told the FBI that he forwarded all the emails to the Carter Heavy Industries address as an intermediary step in moving the files from the laptop to the server, according to the Senate report.
Platte River Networks did not respond to the DCNF’s questions about why he would take this unusual move, and it is unclear why he would use a cryptically named account or why he uploaded Clinton’s emails to a cheap and widely used email service while paying for a custom server.
Perhaps related, Combetta frequently posted to the website Reddit, asking how to perform basic computer tasks, most infamously posting that he needed to erase details for a “VERY VIP” client.
In short, Clinton’s emails had been uploaded to Gmail and her server still appeared to fall short of even basic IT practices for a small business, even after she hired a professional company and moved it out of a basement.
But neither the Clinton campaign nor the FBI acknowledged it, despite years of congressional investigations seeking every detail.
Even as FBI agents believed that Combetta lied to them repeatedly — saying he did not delete emails — prosecutors gave him immunity, at which point he confessed to doing so.
The FBI subpoenaed the Carter Heavy Industries account and said “business records show that the account was created by a subscriber whose phone number was registered to Combetta, and account logins in 2015 and 2016 were from an IP address linked to the location where Combetta lived and worked remotely for PRN,” according to the Senate report.
Suspicion of China ties
Frustrated by the FBI’s attitude to a possible national security issue, ICIG McCullough and Rucker, the ICIG investigator, did basic research that found that a company with a similar name, Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Machinery Co., was based in Shandong, China, according to the Senate report. Shandong is a province that houses multiple schools where Chinese hackers allegedly study and infiltrate Western systems.
But the ICIG investigators didn’t believe that aspect of the probe was within their jurisdiction and that it was the FBI’s responsibility. Additionally, without having access to Clinton’s server, they were limited in what they could do.
In August 2018, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported that intelligence officials said Clinton’s emails were intercepted by a third party that they believed was tied to China.
Though the Senate report was billed as a “majority” report by Grassley and Johnson, Sen. Dianne Feinstein had more interviewers in the room than Johnson. McCullough has said that the California Democrat pressured him to resign. Feinstein also had an alleged Chinese spy on her payroll for decades, and when the FBI brought it to her attention, she asked him to retire.

Questions
There are likely contradictions in the timeline laid out. For example, when Rucker provided the information to the FBI initially in January 2016, bureau investigators said “we were aware of the one thing you found.” But Combetta reportedly did not tell the FBI about his role in the account until a month later — on the very same day that Rucker met in person with a uninterested-seeming Strzok.
In June 2018, the DOJ IG released a lengthy report examining the FBI’s bias or lack thereof in its election investigations. It made mention of a “dummy account” used by Combetta, but did not explain that all of Clinton’s emails had been copied to Gmail. FBI personnel, including Strzok, repeatedly declined to explain this, even when pressed about the mysterious third-party email account, including by Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas during a televised hearing on July 12, 2018.
In June 2018, the DOJ OIG interviewed FBI official Chappell who said he “did not remember receiving anything from him related to evidence of hostile intrusions or email routing data,” the Senate report says. That July, Strzok told Gohmert he didn’t remember what Rucker told him.
The Senate report also says that both FBI officials denied remembering anything Rucker told them.
“The trouble is the version of the truth that’s come out now only raises more questions,” Gohmert told the Daily Caller News Foundation Thursday.
“When Peter Strzok said I remember Rucker coming over but I don’t remember anything we talked about, that’s when I knew he was lying,” Gohmert continued. “Whether they knew about it before or not, there’s no way that kind of blockbuster info would not have made an impression on Strzok as head of intelligence. You’re disinterested because you don’t want to know or you don’t want anyone else to know.”
“It raises more questions about the honesty and integrity of those in the FBI that they gave a pass on this and during the House and Senate inquiries into this, nobody mentioned that he had set up another address,” he said. “It makes the FBI look either incompetent or dishonest, because it didn’t come out from the FBI until the ICIG was so forthcoming that the FBI had no choice.”
“I think Combetta ought to be prosecuted,” Gohmert, a former judge, said, adding that typical immunity deals can be canceled if the person has lied at any point. “And just because there’s incompetence, doesn’t mean there’s not also conspiracy there.”
Timeline
August 20, 2012: Paul Combetta, a Platt River Networks (PRN) employee, creates CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com.
June 2013: Clinton’s PRN server (an upgrade from her basement server) becomes active.
February 2014: Clinton aide Monica Hanley mails Clinton’s old laptop to Combetta to transfer emails from 2010 off of it. Combetta migrates the emails to the new server using the Carter Heavy Industries gmail account as an intermediary, according to the FBI. Combetta was supposed to wipe the laptop and mail it back to Hanley, but there is no evidence that Combetta wiped it or mailed it, according to the DOJ IG.
Summer 2014: Combetta puts Clinton’s emails on Mills’ and Samuelson’s laptop the more typical way — by uploading PST files. Mills directed him to set clintonemail.com to delete all mail after 60 days, but he doesn’t do it.
March 2015: Days after a House committee issues an order requiring all of Clinton’s emails to be preserved, Combetta “had an ‘oh shit’ moment,” according to the FBI, and retroactively deletes Clinton’s old emails using Bleachbit.
September 17, 2015: Combetta is interviewed by Strzok voluntarily. He denies deleting emails.
January 15, 2016: Rucker drops off a packet of info to Dean Chappell of the FBI containing information about the Carter email address. Chappell emails: “I did get your information and we were aware of the one thing you found.”
January 20, 2016: Rucker asks the FBI to let him know the explanation for the Carter Industries account since other agencies have equities, but the FBI gives no answer.
February 9, 2016: Peter Strzok is promoted to Section Chief.
February 18, 2016: At 2pm, Rucker meets with Strzok and Chappell about Clinton server issues. Strzok seems uninterested. Strzok interviews Combetta for a second time that same day — it is unknown whether this occurs before or after the Rucker meeting, or whether the timing is a coincidence. Combetta tells the FBI he created the dummy email account to transfer Clinton’s archived emails from the archive laptop to the PRN Server. (The DOJ IG says the FBI already knew that Combetta was behind the Carter account, but it is not clear how.) Combetta says he does not recall deleting any emails, even though the FBI shows him evidence that they were deleted.
May 3, 2016: DOJ gives Combetta immunity, even though team members say he should be prosecuted for repeatedly lying, according to the DOJ IG.
April 20, 2018: DOJ IG interviews Strzok about allegations that he had ignored evidence of a compromise of Clinton’s server. He tells DOJ OIG that the allegations were “not accurate” and he did not know “where that could come from.” The report says the questions were prompted by news reports, however, the news reports did not occur until August 2018.
June 2018: DOJ IG report on FBI conduct in Clinton case is released. It vaguely makes reference to Combetta using a “dummy” account.
June 2018: DOJ IG interviews the FBI’s Chappell and asks about his interactions with the ICIG. He says he does not remember receiving anything from him related to evidence of email routing data. Rucker is also interviewed by DOJ IG.
Vreemd verhaal. Patrick Byrne was tot voor kort CEO van Overstock (meubelwarenhuis) en ging onlangs met pensioen. Vrij kort daarna verklaart hij een rol te hebben gespeeld in de Russiagate, hij zou 'fishy' dingen hebben gedaan op verzoek van FBI-agenten. Hij verklaart vervolgens dat de verzoeken afkomstig waren van Peter Strzok en beweert ook dat James Comey er vanaf geweten moet hebben. Maar wat hij dan precies gedaan heeft op verzoek van de FBI zegt hij niet. Wel heeft hij een relatie gehad met een Russin die veroordeeld is voor spionage. Tegen CNN's Chris Cuomo zegt hij dat de DNC niet achter het complot zitten, maar dat dit louter losgeslagen topfiguren in de FBI en eventueel andere veiligheidsdiensten geweest zijn.quote:Ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne says he got 'fishy' orders from Peter Strzok; former acting AG unsure of claims
Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne, who resigned Thursday amid ties to a government probe related to the 2016 election, claimed he received "fishy" orders from former FBI official Peter Strzok.
Byrne said Thursday on "The Story" he'd helped the federal government with investigations twice in the past, including to "help them take down people on Wall Street."
Several years after Byrne's last contact with the government, he said FBI officials reached out to him in 2016.
"I was given some fishy orders and I carried them out in 2015-2016, thinking I was conducting law enforcement," he said.
He claimed people who he characterized as "the Men in Black" came to him and asked him "for this third favor."
Byrne clarified to host Martha MacCallum that FBI rank-and-file were "barely involved" in what he alleged transpired.
"It's all the top [people]," he said.
"I didn't know who sent the orders, but I did them. Last summer, watching television and some congressional hearings, I figured out where these orders came from. They came from a guy named Peter Strzok." Byrne also named other individuals, with MacCallum reminding him those officials or former officials worked at the FBI.
Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation over anti- Trump text messages he traded with his mistress, Lisa Page. He was fired from the FBI in August of 2018.
MacCallum asked Byrne what Strzok purportedly asked him to do. Byrne did not describe specific actions he was allegedly told to take, but characterized them as "political espionage."
The former CEO added that he began a relationship with Maria Butina, a Russian national currently serving prison time in the U.S. for failing to register as a foreign agent.
Byrne said that all of the purported information he gleaned from his experiences ultimately landed in the hands of Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who has been conducting an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe at the behest of Attorney General William Barr.
Last month, Byrne disclosed he was involved in an FBI probe into the Russia investigation and admitted to having a relationship with Butina. In an Aug.12 statement, he said it was the third time in his life that he "helped the Men in Black: the first was when my friend [former NBA player] Brian Williams was murdered, and the second was when I helped the M.I.B. shake up Wall Street a decade ago."
After Byrne's interview, MacCallum asked former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to respond to the former business executive's claims.
"He's describing it like he was being used as a source and being inserted into a situation by the feds, and there are protocols for handling sources," Whitaker said. "All of this can be corroborated. That's the key. This whole situation has to be corroborated and the nice thing about John Durham is that he has the full picture of everything that was feeding into this investigation."
When asked by MacCallum whether Byrne appeared credible, the former Iowa federal prosecutor said he was unsure.
"It's hard for me to say," he remarked.

Comey heeft achtereenvolgend 3 spionnen in het witte huis geplaatst; Anthony Ferrante, Jordan Kelly en Tashina Gauhar.quote:Comey's inside man at White House emerges as DOJ inspector general finalizes FISA abuse report
Former FBI Director James Comey had an inside man at the White House, feeding the bureau information about President Trump and his aides in 2017.
Now this individual, who after leaving the government was hired by BuzzFeed to verify parts of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier, may be tied to an investigation into alleged surveillance abuses by the DOJ and the FBI being conducted by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
This previously unreported mole in the White House appears in a new report by RealClearInvestigations that explored possible misconduct by Comey for what two U.S. officials described as essentially "running a covert operation against" the president even as he was assuring Trump he was not the subject of any investigation.
Anthony Ferrante, a longtime FBI official, worked as a cybersecurity adviser on the National Security Council. Officials said Ferrante was working in the White House even while the FBI held him on reserve status. All the while, he was sharing information about Trump and his aides back to FBI headquarters.
One former National Security Council official said Ferrante's unique position was highly irregular.
“In an unprecedented action, Comey created a new FBI reserve position for Ferrante, enabling him to have an ongoing relationship with the agency, retaining his clearances and enabling him to come back in [to bureau headquarters],” the official said, adding that the NSC division supervisor was "not allowed to get rid of Ferrante" and that the arrangement appeared to be "in direct conflict with the no-contact policy between the White House and the Department of Justice."
Ferrante left the White House in April 2017, not long before Trump fired Comey as FBI director.
He went on to join FTI Consulting, a business-advising firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. Through this firm, Ferrante was hired by BuzzFeed to investigate the dossier composed by Steele, to try and corroborate the unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia that appear in the research.
Ferrante was replaced in the White House by another FBI official, Jordan Rae Kelly, who signed security logs for Ferrante to enter the White House while he was contracted by BuzzFeed. Kelly left the White House last year and also joined FTI Consulting.
The FBI declined to comment for this report.
The dossier was published by BuzzFeed in January 2017 after reports came out that Comey privately briefed then-President-elect Trump on select allegations from Steele's work at a Trump Tower briefing. This meeting in New York, which came one day after Comey met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office with some of his top administration officials, is now under scrutiny by Horowitz's team.
In what has become an urgent area of consternation for Republican lawmakers, the FBI relied heavily on Steele's unverified dossier to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants filed to surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Four FISA warrant applications and renewals were filed from October 2016 through June 2017 against Page. Steele was hired by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and his dossier was funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign.
While under contract for BuzzFeed, Ferrante compiled a report that was filed in federal court as part of a lawsuit over the publication of the dossier. He found that internet service providers mentioned in the dossier that were owned by Russian entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev may have been used by Russian agents to support the hack of the DNC and the campaign chairman of Clinton’s campaign during the 2016 election. Unlike Steele's dossier, Ferrante's report did not directly link Gubarev or his executives to the hacking. “I have no evidence of them actually sitting behind a keyboard,” Ferrante said in a deposition.
It is unclear whether Ferrante is still working for BuzzFeed. A spokesman for the outlet declined to comment on questions from the Washington Examiner about Ferrante. Ferrante did not immediately return an emailed request for comment from the Washington Examiner and a spokeswoman at FTI Consulting declined comment to RealClearInvestigations, as did Comey's attorney.
Horowitz's team has reviewed more than 1 million records and conducted more than 100 interviews, including with Comey and Steele. The information provided by Steele was reportedly interesting or credible enough to justify extending the length of the investigation, which Attorney General William Barr earlier this year had predicted would be complete by May or June.
House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins said over the weekend he expects the inspector general's report to be released this fall. The RealClearInvestigations report puts a release date sometime in September.
Meanwhile Attorney General William Barr is conducting a review of the origins of the Russia investigation, and he has said he is working very closely with Horowitz. The inspector general can recommend prosecutions, and U.S. Attorney John Durham, whom Barr tasked to lead the review, has the ability to convene a grand jury and to subpoena people outside of the government.
Andrew McCabe (en zijn tuiggroepje van onder andere Peter Strzok, Lisa Page en James Baker) was te buitensporig, conflictueus en irrationeel om het onderzoek voort te zetten dat dit de benoeming van de special counsel noopte.quote:Op donderdag 30 mei 2019 09:40 schreef dellipder het volgende:
Even een reminder:
[…] but I will say that when we met with him Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and I met with him along with Edward O'Callahan who is the principal associate deputy on March 5th we specifically asked him about the OLC opinion and whether or not he was taking the position that he would have found a crime but for the existence of the OLC opinion and he made it very clear several times that that was not his position.
Wat in deze clip verteld wordt over de OLC eventjes daargelaten kan hieruit onttrokken en benadrukt worden dat het frame dat procureur-generaal William Barr een solistische exercitie heeft uitgevoerd niet berust op de werkelijkheid.
Edward O'Callahan en Rod Rosenstein maakten deel uit van het proces dat leidde naar de beslissing over de “obstruction of justice”-aspect van het sco-onderzoek.
Nadat Sally Yates op 30 januari 2017 als procureur-generaal werd ontslagen vanwege haar verzet tegen haar superieur, de president van de Verenigde Staten, en Jeff Sessions op 2 maart 2017 zichzelf verschoonde van de lopende Rusland-onderzoek werd Rosenstein hierover waarnemend procureur-generaal.
In deze hoedanigheid stelde hij 17 mei 2017 de special counsel in en was hij eindverantwoordelijke en toezichthouder over dit onderzoek.
Waarom nam Rosenstein dit besluit?
Waarom nam Rosenstein het besluit dat feitelijk ervoor zorgde dat het FBI-onderzoek van de auspiciën van de FBI werd weggehaald en onder de autoriteit van het ministerie van Justitie werd gebracht?
Dit had in elk geval niets te maken met de memo's van James Comey die hij via Daniel Richman naar The New York Times lekte ergens tussen 15 en 16 mei 2017.
Dit had alles te maken met Andrew McCabe (en zijn team met onder andere Peter Strzok en Lisa Page) die na het ontslag van James Comey op 9 mei 2017 een strafrechtelijk onderzoek instelde tegen de Amerikaanse president naar spionage en het belemmeren van de rechtsgang.
Het was McCabe die de “obstruction of justice”-zaak had geopend.
Dit is de achtergrond waartegen de commotie over de OLC moet worden afgezet.
Een gezamenlijke statement van de special counsel en de procureur-generaal is hierover uitgevaardigd:
afbeelding
Met andere woorden Robert Mueller zegt dat William Barr niet heeft gelogen en William Barr zegt dat Robert Mueller niet heeft gelogen.
Er zit en zat sowieso geen licht tussen wat Mueller en Barr hebben verklaard.
In essentie vertelde Mueller aan Barr dat als de feiten van deze zaak zo voor de hand liggend zouden zijn, zou hij de OLC buiten beschouwing laten, maar dat was niet in dit geval, dus koos hij ervoor om geen precedent te creëren in lang bestaand beleid.
In the future the facts of a case against a President might be such that a special counsel would recommend abandoning the OLC opinion, but this not such a case.
Eigenlijk, in de context waarin Barr de beslissing omschrijft om het aloude OLC-beleid niet te doorbreken, is de vraag waarom McCabe überhaupt een onderzoek naar het belemmeren van de rechtsgang opende zonder eerst het ministerie van Justitie te raadplegen.
In Jip en Janneke-taal; Robert Mueller koos om de OLC-richtlijnen te hanteren, omdat de feiten van de zaak het verlaten daarvan niet rechtvaardigden.
Mueller kon geen beslissing nemen over het gedeelte van het onderzoek betreffende het belemmeren van de rechtsgang, omdat de feiten daarover bij het openen daarvan al heel erg gebrekkig waren.
De special counsel zegt feitelijk, dat ze niet weten waarover McCabe het heeft en vervolgens hebben William Barr en Rod Rosenstein hun conclusie getrokken.
Resumé; Robert Mueller werd aangesteld, omdat Rosenstein vond dat McCabe losgeslagen en irrationeel was.
In feite is dit wat ook Mueller concludeerde, maar zijn bewoordingen maken het niet heel eenvoudig dit te ontwaren.

Maar lees dit topic nu een tijdje maar ik heb van jou nog nergens een steekhoudend argumenten gezien die de conclussies van het Mueller rapport onderuit zouden halen, wel schattig dat je denkt dat je dat wel doet maar meer dan inhoudsloos Trump en je discutabele dom rechtse bronnen napraten is het niet. Op inhoud lukt het niet dus proberen jij en je mede rode pil slikkers het maar om de personen die het betrokken zijn bij het onderzoek zwart te maken maar ook daar faal je nogal opzichtig in.
Trump is geen marionet van Poetin. Althans, niet in die zin dat hij door hem wordt aangestuurd. Wel doet The Donald vaak precies waar zijn Russische ambtgenoot op hoopt, waaronder het ondermijnen van de eigen inlichtingendiensten. Case in point:quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 10:26 schreef dellipder het volgende:

Vind je? De Russische bemoeienis met de Amerikaanse verkiezingen is een onzinverhaal, verzonnen om Trump er aan op te hangen.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 16:19 schreef zomerindebol het volgende:

Het is meer een giswerk, maar natuurlijk is het meteen een feit net zoals al die andere zaken zoals de MWD in Irak en Russia collusion.
Maar goed neem anders een artikel van NY times dat toch een stuk geloofwaardiger is, al zijn die ook standaard anti trump:https://www.nytimes.com/2(...)nformant-russia.html
Maar de mate van verzinnen is een stuk kleiner bij de NYT dan CNN .
Ja natuurlijk is het verhaal wat men gebruikt gewoon een vals en fictief verhaal, maar het is vrij normaal dat beide landen dus zowel de US en Rusland ten alle tijden proberen mensen of zaken te beinvloeden, dat is gewoon een normaal iets in geopolitiek.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 16:40 schreef EdvandeBerg het volgende:

En Trump is totaal geschift, net als die nafkezen die hoax blijven roepen ondanks het rapport.
Toch vreemd, aangezien Trump daar het meeste aan heeft uitgegeven.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 16:54 schreef zomerindebol het volgende:
De grootste beinvloeder van de politiek was in 2015 social media en de MSM en dan voornamelijk in het voordeel van clinton en nadeel van trump.

Had gehoopt op Bernie Sanders, dat leek me tenminste capabele gast.
Zowel hildog als Trump beide stel waardeloos als president.

Adverteren is iets anders dan de zaak beinvloeden op een vieze illegale manier.
Wat is het werkwoord voor 'het achterhouden van informatie of expressie aan banden leggen'?quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 21:50 schreef Vis1980 het volgende:
Het lijkt mij niet dat social media een overheid is en dus hebben we hier niet met censuur te maken.
Censuur is het gebruiken van de macht van de staat, een andere controlerende macht, een bepaalde groepering, of van bepaalde individuen, om informatie achter te houden of de expressie aan banden te leggen. De verwante term persbreidel geeft de maatregelen aan om de persvrijheid te beperken.

Ik help je. Hier de link naar wikipedia met alle vormen van censuur. Laat mij maar zien dat censuur ook door Danny kan gebeuren.
Laat het zien dan, waar staat het dat censuur ook door social media gebeurt zonder inmenging van politiek. Misschien verkijk je je op het woord censuur.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2019 22:56 schreef LelijKnap het volgende:
