Respectfully- common sense.

This news is getting widely reported, shockingly, even by several of the bigger outlets. Does anyone think that if Flynn, who has been all over the news, especially in the past couple of weeks, was involved, no one would be reporting it?

Forget the media. Ellis and Giuliaini are beating the drum on this all over the place. Don't you think they'd mention Flynn if he was involved?

Forget both of those things. Flynn has precisely zero experience of any kind related to forensic examinations of digital hardware or software. For what purpose would he be involved?

Then go back and read the cd article. It reads like LARP and they cite no sources for their information.

Ya I know nothing about the news organization. It's possible he's acting in an unofficial capacity. He would be the kind of guy who could sway a patriot sheriff who is following instructions but doesn't see the big picture. I'm withholding judgement on whether it's BS or not but I appreciate your thoughts.

I appreciate the reasoned debate.

One other item: I offer Gen. Flynn himself: https://twitter.com/GenFlynn

Respectfully, the guy practically put out a tweet every time he takes a shit. He has made no mention of being involved with anything related to voting machines.

I will trust his word, or the absence of his word, more than I trust an article from an keyword ad driven website that posts articles that conspicuously lack any primary source information.

I've got no idea if it's true or not, but 5 big adverts on the page would maybe explain why using keyword: "Flynn" at the moment is so hot.

THIS.

We all need to remember that clickbait pays.

The sheer amount of crap I've read lately on sites purporting to be reputable Conservative outlets - convinces me that there is absolutely no limit to people's greed when it comes to seeking ad revenue. Some of these people are quite willing to lose all credibility forever, for the sake of a paycheck.

Either that or the Russian troll farms are on overload.

Yup.

It is also causing some of the high bandwidth sites to ignore everything. No one has time to weed through all the bullshit so, rather than risk their own credibility, they block out everything.

Then you have the problem of good people on our side losing their shit and trashing anyone who dares to question their pet theory or whatever they found on Twitter 2 seconds ago and immediately reposted everywhere without checking anything.

We win wars by exploiting enemies weaknesses and pummeling bullshit with truth. You can parade your heroes around AFTER the war is won.
