Special counsel John Durham has just put Hillary Clinton on notice in a bombshell new court filing.
Durham claims Clinton allies abused the DNS system to gather “derogatory information” about Trump.
However, according to Durhams’s filing, Hillary’s team continued spying on Trump even when he was in the Executive Office Of The President (EOP).
The filing claims allies of Hillary Clinton in the tech industry, who had access to the unseen backbone of the internet, exploited this access by “mining the EOPโs DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.”
It could be argued by allies of Hillary it was just routine monitoring.
However, Durham took it one step further and clarified that this was not just routine monitoring but was done with the specific intention of trying to find dirt on Trump.
Durham’s filing says:
โThe Governmentโs evidence at trial will also establish that among the Internet data Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited was domain name system (โDNSโ) Internet traffic pertaining to (i) a particular healthcare provider, (ii) Trump Tower, (iii) Donald Trumpโs Central Park West apartment building, and (iv) the Executive Office of the President of the United States(โEOPโ).
โ(Tech Executive-1โs employer, Internet Company-1, had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided DNS resolution services to the EOP. Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by mining the EOPโs DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.)
โThe Indictment further details that on February 9, 2017, the defendant provided an updated set of allegations โ including the Russian Bank-1 data and additional allegations relating to Trump โ to a second agency of the U.S. government (โAgency-2โ).
โThe Governmentโs evidence at trial will establish that these additional allegations relied, in part, on the purported DNS traffic that Tech Executive-1 and others had assembled pertaining to Trump Tower, Donald Trumpโs New York City apartment building, the EOP, and the aforementioned healthcare provider.
โIn his meeting with Agency-2, the defendant provided data which he claimed reflected purportedly suspicious DNS lookups by these entities of internet protocol (โIPโ) addresses affiliated with a Russian mobile phone provider (โRussian Phone Provider-1โ).
โThe defendant further claimed that these lookups demonstrated that Trump and/or his associates were using supposedly rare, Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations.
โThe Special Counselโs Office has identified no support for these allegations. Indeed, more complete DNS data that the Special Counselโs Office obtained from a company that assisted Tech Executive-1 in assembling these allegations reflects that such DNS lookups were far from rare in the United States.
โFor example, the more complete data that Tech Executive-1 and his associates gathered โ but did not provide to Agency-2 โ reflected that between approximately 2014 and 2017, there were a total of more than 3 million lookups of Russian Phone-Provider-1 IP addresses that originated with U.S.-based IP addresses.
โFewer than 1,000 of these lookups originated with IP addresses affiliated with Trump Tower. In addition, the more complete data assembled by Tech Executive-1 and his associates reflected that DNS lookups involving the EOP and Russian Phone Provider-1 began at least as early 2014 (i.e., during the Obama administration and years before Trump took office) โ another fact which the allegations omitted.โ
