Why Trump and Rudy are so interested in "Crowdstrike's" server??

They have heard all the conspiracy theories about how CrowdStrike helped Hillary in the last election,

The better bet is that they want to recruit Crowdstrike to help Trump campaign in the next election,

They see Crowdstrike as the new Wikileaks.

They want a replay of the 2016 election,

not give you a coherent explanation of what Crowdstrike is, or what they do in general, or how they are connected to the '16 Clinton campaign.

Don't understand what is beyond the talking points.

It's kinda the purpose of talking points. To enable people who aren't experts on the agenda, advance it anyway in service of the organization they support. (We see this in business as well as politics)

They (the things that support Trump, the 37% dead-enders) need a continual bump on their sugar-high...right now its Crowdstrike...like all the others though (remember when Obama was preparing FEMA camps for an invasion of Texas?...like that, only dumber still!)

I would bet that of the 'Constitution' quoters, not 1 in a 1000 actually read a copy.

the Trump and Putin(GRU)connection. BTW,they were brought in by the DNC to find the Intruders into their Data System.

At the time,they were considered the top dog in Forensic Data System Investigations.

5. They want Ukraine to "produce" the server so they can blame 2016 interference on them -

and claim Dems were working with Ukraine to steal the 2016 election. This of course would absolve Russia and help Putin.

They're totally ignoring the fact that our govt investigated and found, unequivocally, that Russia did it.

It's bonkers.

and write them a check.

It's probably a poor strategy to discuss them in public and just hope that the company comes to them. Counter productive in fact.
