In the memo about the call released by the White House, Trump said, “I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say CrowdStrike,” followed by an ellipsis, followed by “The server, they say Ukraine has it.” Trump brought up CrowdStrike and the server in a July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity firm that investigated the 2016 hack into DNC emails and turned its findings over to the FBI. Trump pushed the same line last week in the Oval Office, stating, “For instance, I still ask the FBI, ‘Where is the server?’ How come the FBI never got the server from the DNC? Where is the server? I want to see the server.” “It was taken by somebody, I guess it’s CrowdStrike, that’s what I have heard.” “There was a server, the DNC server, that had never went to the FBI - the FBI didn’t take it,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News. If it does lead to President Trump’s impeachment, it will be because he believed it. Asked directly if he could "unequivocally say" whether "it was or was not exfiltrated out of DNC," Henry told the committee: "I can't say based on that.It’s the conspiracy theory that could bring down a presidency: the idea that an old Democratic National Committee email server is hidden somewhere in Ukraine and could rewrite the history of the 2016 election."Sir, I was just trying to be factually accurate, that we didn't see the data leave, but we believe it left, based on what we saw.".
We said that the data left based on the circumstantial evidence. … We didn't have a sensor in place that saw data leave. "There is circumstantial evidence that that data was exfiltrated off the network.There's circumstantial evidence but no evidence that they were actually exfiltrated." "There’s not evidence that they were actually exfiltrated.But in this case it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don’t have the evidence that says it actually left." "There are times when we can see data exfiltrated, and we can say conclusively.Henry reiterated his claim on multiple occasions: Asked for the date when alleged Russian hackers stole data from the DNC server, Henry testified that CrowdStrike did not in fact know if such a theft occurred at all: "We did not have concrete evidence that the data was exfiltrated from the DNC, but we have indicators that it was exfiltrated," Henry said. Henry personally led the remediation and forensics analysis of the DNC server after being warned of a breach in late April 2016 his work was paid for by the DNC, which refused to turn over its server to the FBI. It was all a politically motivated, unconscionably despicable lie: CrowdStrike Boss Under Oath: No Proof of DNC Hack by Russia That was apparently known the entire time by the Mueller team and members of Congress, and also the DNC and the Obama regime. It has not been authoritatively established that the DNC servers were actually hacked at all, much less by the Russians.
