I don't know if you had a chance to catch-up on the Russia Trump Server Saga, but essentially there was a significant amount of bi-directional chatter (called synchronous communications in network parlance) between a Russian Bank "server" and a "server" in Trump Tower during the election.
This is probably what the Big D was referring to when he tweeted about a wire-tap. And now we have all these political/technical neophytes running around trying to understand.
So let me explain.
It's all based on the analytics from my blog - yes, right here, the one you are reading now.
I run analytics on this blog and while I don't do video blogging now (have to take a break here and there) I did video blogging for 15 years with "video syndication" on many social and other global platforms. I don't have analytics on probably 90% of those platforms we published on, but I do have the analytics on this blog platform - from which many of the other platforms gathered or linked to videos from the show (that is another topic but the show was called What Really Matters NYC)
Embarrassingly (because I live in Manhattan) I will say that folks who ping this blog the most are from the Washington Post (sorry NYT). That means that people reading the Washington Post will see something that they click on that eventually brings them to my site (believe it or not).
But more interestingly, though, guess which country ranks second after the US for "hits" to this blog?
Yes, it is Russia. Let me give you a screen shot from right now...(taken right now)
Even just this week, most of my pings are from Russia. 280 page views...who are these people and why do they track my little blog? I haven't even posted anything new today - or for that matter for a couple of months..
The answer is: it's computers staying acquainted. How do I know this? - well - I have a Masters Degree in Interactive Telecommunications (from NYU) as I often tell my partner who asks me why then I can't fix the video player...
But why are Russian computers talking to my blog "server" so much? Well, you need to remember that computers are like parrots. They
a) do what they are told (pretty much), and
b) they like to repeat (do again) what they are told.
They don't have much else to do. And yes - I have done several shows on Snowden - even offering up the best escape travel routes from Russia to Venezuela back when he landed in Moscow...I even at one point had a Snowden Skype address in Russia.
And back when I would post the videos from those shows, the Russians came to my site (this blog). I know because I saw the analytics. So did the LAPD - where Commissioner Bratton was before he moved to NYC to be Commissioner of the NYPD. The LAPD (second only to the NYPD) have excellent listening capabilities. Why would they listen to me? Why did they ping this blog so much?
That I never really understood..but my analytics was clever enough to even give me a satellite image of the LAPD building that was using computers to hit my site. Maybe it is because I did so many Stop & Frisk shows. After all, Bratton started Stop & Frisk in LA. In the end though, who knows. Who cares.
But why are the Russians still here on my site today? Well, do you remember the rule above? The Russia results you see on my blog analytics today are leftover habits (b above) that the computers keep coming back to from the Snowden show days. That's why the communications are slightly non-sensical. Because they are just an old habit. Like I said - I haven't put anything on this blog in three months...but here they are today...sniffing around.
So yes - Trump servers did work at one point with a Russian Bank server. The FBI need to look earlier in time (maybe a year or several) to see what actually happened (a). No doubt. Because these current communications (between the Bank and Trump covered by CNN and like the Russians on my site today) are simply "b" above - left-over habits.
I suggest a Congressional Committee look into this.
