The Truth About Crowdstrike

So, in case you aren't a tin-foil hat wearing wack job, let me explain this Crowdstrike nonesense and the Russian propaganda behind it.

You may have heard some crap about this from Trump, Rudy and Rush and what-ever bat shit people that believed them to muddy up the waters.

The Democratic National Committee Server was hacked - from there the crazy conspiracy runs wild...

What Crazy People Say	What the FBI, CIA and NSC Say
DNC Server sent to Crowdstrike	True DNC Server was originally sent to Crowdstrike
Crowdstrike is in Ukraine	False Crowdstrike is in Sunnyvale California
FBI let Crowdstrike investigate on their own	False FBI participated in investigation
Crowdstrike covered up Ukrainian involvement	False  Hacking was discovered and the FBI and Crowdstrike uncovered who did it. The FBI and Robert Muller filed charges against 14 specific Russian hackers identified in the DNC hacking
Crowdstrike is owned by Ukrainians	False One of Crowdstike’s many backers is a Soviet refugee that left the USSR before there was a country of Ukraine.
That DNC Server is “hiding” in Ukraine	False The DNC server is back at the DNC. The hacking details are stored online in general (not in the Ukraine).
The Ukrainian government “meddled” in our election.	False: Two officials from Ukraine wrote Op Eds questioning Trump's proposed ideas. The President takes this as “proof” they meddled in the election.
Russia did not meddle in the election	False Ever intelligence organization in the government knows and has proved that Russia DID meddle in the election

The problem is that Donald Trump’s ego is a bit fragile. He wants proof that he won the election without help. 

And it isn’t clear that Russian interference actually effected the outcome. But they definitely tried.
