DNC Denied FBI Access to Computer Servers


The reason, of course, is that the Democrats are full of it and are just looking for a way to delegitimize Trump’s presidency even before he takes office. If they really were concerned about cybersecurity risks, they would have allowed the FBI to check the servers of groups like the Democratic National Committee and make sure they were safe. Yet as the bureau revealed this week, the DNC repeatedly rebuffed requests to allow agents access to their servers:

“The Hill has reached out to the DNC for comment but did not receive a response before this story was published.

“The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI’s Cyber Division and its Washington (D.C.) Field Office, the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices,” DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker told BuzzFeed, but added, “the FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers.”

And according to Buzzfeed, no U.S. intelligence agency has done an independent forensics analysis on the servers.

Instead, the bureau relied on analysis done by the third-party security firm CrowdStrike, which investigated the breach for the DNC.

“Crowdstrike is pretty good. There’s no reason to believe that anything that they have concluded is not accurate,” an intelligence official told BuzzFeed.

The dispute comes against the backdrop of fierce Democratic outrage over the FBI’s role in the 2016 presidential election.

Many — include former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) — have explicitly blamed FBI Director James Comey for Hillary Clinton‘s loss in November.”
