I mean internet shit and specifically DNS. I've met people named in that article. No one has access to anywhere near 100% of DNS traffic, it's too decentralized. What he had was access to the Trump server's ISP's DNS resolver logs, but that doesn't sound as cool.
The article itself points out that it's not a smoking gun. I think the most plausible alternative theory would be that both servers were compromised and part of the same botnet.

Richard Burt, who helped Trump write the speech in which he first laid out his foreign policy, serves on Alfa's Senior Advisory Board.
Alfa is the Russian company that owns the server in Russia that had a direct line to Trump's campaign.

He'd be impeached.
Trump's victory would be a Pence victory. The GOP isn't gonna want him leading the party. They have the votes to impeach and remove him (dems would even join in)

Kellyanne Conway is so annoying.

She already got my vote in MI last week via absentee ballot.
That would be doing the same thing Trump suggested during the second debate, which is a clear separation of powers.
I gave up on them yesterday until election night. They've been incredibly anti-Hillary since Friday.

The only reason they stopped going hard against her is because of that disastrous first debate for Donald, and then pussygate. We're getting back on track now.

The story just broke, and it's a scoop piece. It'll take a little bit before the mainstream picks it up.

Lol. Ok, dude. Data from the server primarily went to and from the bank, and it was an email server. It also rejected incoming traffic from non-whitelisted IPs. But sure, it's part of a botnet. Sure.

Those polls suck. They have Clinton up 7 in Ohio one day then down 5 the next.

This Russian/Trump story is falling into place. Starts with Reid, then the FBI leak, and now onto a full investigative journalist story.
It wasn't planned that way, obviously, but everything sort of came together at the right time to make this a thing.

This has actually been a pretty nice day for Senate polling.
Those are landline/IVR polls like Rasmussen and Remington... But, those results are encouraging given that knowledge.

Oh, I didn't realize they were landline/IVR. Oopsie.

I'm kind of regretting giving a friend of mine 538 as a way for him to track electorate polling and getting a better view of the chances of the election. I know, technically, Silver's data isn't wrong, but apparently it's moved five different times today upwards to Trump, and he's text me several times freaking out that'll be head-to-head soon. I've tried to show him other pollsters, even directed him to the article Silver wrote about how his model deliberately gives Trump a much higher chance than it most likely is, but he's hooked on, causing some real anxiety, and annoying the hell out of me about it.

Any chance the media will actually pick up on the Russia story or are EMAILZ just too darn exciting?
Seriously. Very little decent polling to make up for all of the garbage (that 538 eats up without a second thought).
Emailz all the way until the 9th

Some of it is garbage data, into a trash model.
Garbage in garbage. Garbage out. Trash bedwetting.
Also why would you direct him to awful articles.

NBC Nightly News and PBS mentioned the FBI looking into Manafort tonight and his ties to the Russian oligarchy. We'll see if it goes anywhere but Harry Reid at least seems to have thrown some gas on the fire.

The Trump-Russia thing Slate is publishing is also a big deal because it is hard proof. Before it was "maybe he did, maybe he did not but there is no evidence of it". Now we do.
Reid's letter mentioning the Trump-Russia thing is also a damn good coincidence. Unless it isn't.

But... isn't that the point of 538? Throw all the polls on a pile, and out of all the noise and outliers you get a good average result that might actually reflect reality. We love to hate on 538 in here, which I find a bit petty.
Look, I really don't want to play devil's advocate here, but you have incorrect data and assumptions in your statement.
1. There's no evidence that a whitelist exists, only that it wouldn't accept email from them. It's possible it was never an actual functioning email server.
2. They have no info on data going between the servers, only DNS queries. That said yes they would be sending data to each other if they were in the same botnet.
But look, I am actually totally willing to believe that Trump had an email server that would only accept connections from a Russian bank's server in order to pass love notes back and forth to Putin simply because it's such an incredibly stupid scenario and Trump is ridiculous.

Iowa early vote is very encouraging. Democrats gained big today/over the weekend and are at 90% of ballots returned compared to 2012. Ballot requests they're at 88%.
And remember that Obama actually won Iowa fairly comfortably so Hillary has some breathing room here. The Quinnipiac poll suggests she's up by a decent amount with independents voting early.
