1/ There's no educating conspiracy-theorists like this guy, but nonetheless I'm going to try. This thing as a simple, rational explanation, though I'm not sure I can make it simple enough for conspiracy theorists.

2/ Cendyne is a company that does marketing for hotel companies, including sending out mass email.
When they get a customer, they often register a new domain on behalf of that customer, like mjh-email.com, hyatt-email.com, deniham-email.com.

3/ Their apps, such as those used to schedule events at venues like hotels, will do lookups on those domains. They do so in various ways, like "mail1.mjh-email.com" or also "mjh1.contact-client.com" -- both of which point to 66.216.133.36. 
4/ The servers for mass emails are in turn contracted with mass email company Listrak. These domains point to Listrak servers. They all exist outside a small town in Pennsylvania.
5/ Tump hotels was a customer of Cendyne and now isn't. After the contract was over, Cendyne started to use the server for other clients, causing a spillover.
6/ At no time is there any evidence this domain was in anyway involved with the Trump organization. All the evidence points to Cendyne, who had by this time severed their relationship with Trump Hotels.
7/ Trump hating conspiracy theorists can't accept this.
8/ Why did Cendyne change its records when the NYTimes contacted Alfa? Because that was the same time the FBI contacted Cendyne, who then noticed that the DNS still had outdated records.
9/ The entire presentation today in Maricopa by Trumpists was the same conspiracy-theory argument: their inability to rationally explain anomalies. But the defect was in themselves not being smart enough to explain, not a conspiracy.
10/ Most of my debunking is of those on the right (Trumpists, antivax). But it's important to note there are plenty of conspiracy theorists on the left.
11/ One of the ways you can tell you are dealing with a conspiracy theorist is when they cite things they haven't read that don't say what they think it says.
Nowhere here does Trump Org admit they used the server.

12/ What it does say is that the server belonged to Cendyne. It then uses the passive voice, "it was used to send email".
