The destination domain had Trump in its name, which of course attracted Tea Leaves attention. But his discovery of the data was pure happenstancea surprising needle in a large haystack of DNS lookups on his screen. I have an outlier here that connects to Russia in a strange way, he wrote in his notes. He couldnt quite figure it out at first. But what he saw was a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue.

For this kind of info some official name needs to be on it, not just some "source" this is no joke

By that standard, every "government official stated" report in news would be buried. Deep Throat?

Not every report carries the weight this one does, tangible ties to Russia would be investigations
