Trump's 'Missing DNC Server' Is Neither Missing Nor a Server

[Snellius]

The president can spout conspiracy theories all he wants. But the DNC turned over all its key data to the FBI after it got hacked. And that info wasn’t stored on a single server.

Donald Trump turns to right-wing conspiracy theories when he’s cornered, and he was cornered on Monday. Standing feet away from Vladimir Putin at a press conference following their Helsinki tete-a-tete, a reporter challenged Trump to condemn Putin for Russia’s election interference, “in front of the world.”Instead, the world watched as the President of the United States took Putin’s side against his own Justice Department and his own intelligence agencies, and launched into a rambling discourse about Hillary Clinton’s emails and a supposedly missing DNC server that hides the truth about Putin’s innocence.

“You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server. Why didn’t they take the server? Where is the server, I want to know, and what is the server saying?” The server is saying shut up.

The “server” Trump is obsessed with is actually 140 servers, most of them cloud-based, which the DNC was forced to decommission in June of 2016 while trying to rid its network of the Russian GRU officers working to help Trump win the election, according to the figures in the DNC’s civil lawsuit against Russia and the Trump campaign. Another 180 desktop and laptop computers were also swapped out as the DNC raced to get the organization back on its feet and free of Putin’s surveillance. But despite Trump’s repeated feverish claims to the contrary, no machines are actually missing.

1. Yeah, I don't think Trump knows what a server even is

"Someone who brings me food, right?"

2. He's projecting

So he can do something to his 2 servers he has in his building linked to Alpha Bank, and this is to use the excuse Hillary didn't do xyz, so why should I. He accuse's others of things falsely to use for his defense at a later time, maybe like he accused President Obama of wiretapping while he had some illegal things used to get dirt on them. He also has ties with the russians and other intell groups people able to do many things under the table for him , including moles in agencies.
