Let's start a thread about Crowdstrike. Let me start with a caveat, "if you accept A you must also accept B".
CS was originally dreamed up by George Kurtz and Dimitri Alperovitch, former McAfee toadies, in late 2011, and formally launched in early 2012.
Soon after launching, FBI executive , Shawn Henry retired from the FBI to establish Crowdstrike in its infancy.
Henry had been formally with the FBI since 1989, where he started in the Washington DC metro field office, the same year in which a young police officer named Peter Newsham began his career at DC metro.

Crowdstrike was initially launched with funding to the tune of 35 million dollars thru Warburg Pincus, an investment group headed by former Obama Treasury secretary Tim Geithner.
This the very same Tim Geithner who sat on the CFIUS board overseeing approval of Uranium One and who many speculated as the target of Russian spy Anna Chapman.

In fact look at the date of that article, the date of the spy scandal, and the investment in Crowdstrike.
What made Crowdstrike different from other cyber security firms at the time it was founded? In a nut shell Crowdstrike wasn't just for identifying threats but going after them.

Shawn Henry was quite a feather in the cap for Crowdstrike at its onset. He boasted a background in counterintelligence, bought the company an "in" with the fbi, and every agency that works with them 😉 (more than most realize).
Here's Shawn's company bio:

Here's the special mission Crowdstrike wanted Shawn to head up: "proactively hunting down intruders" (sandbag that quote for later).

So let's take a quick recap...CFIUS chair Geithner, pumps 35 mil into Ukrainian Alperovitch, poaches fbi counter-intel chief, for new venture to proactively hunt down intruders...
Let's move on...
Let's fast forward to December 2015...

And who investigated this quarrelling between rival campaigns to settle things s for the dnc, of course, Crowdstrike.

So they were already onboard long before may 2016. When CS was notoriously brought in to investigate the alleged "Hack" we've all been hearing about ad nauseum.
So in early may CS to the rescue...swooping in, installing their fail proof falcon, stopping the evil Russian hackers dead n their tracks, right? Except there never was a hack, as anyone reading MY thread likely already knows.
There likely was Russian malware/attempts on the dnc server, as probably too the dnc server, any important database, or your cousin Vinny for that matter....
But this was not a hack it was more likely a leak, if falcon was installed stopping the breach why were most of the dnc wikileaks emails from after falcon was installed? Why were the leaks targeted from mainly the finance officials of the dnc?
As most of you already accept this was a leak, not a hack. But the dnc sure did pay CS a lot of $. They were quick to appease their client and attribute this as a hack by Russia, Russia, Russia..but what other service did CS provide?
Well if you've followed this thread you've realized that the entire schtick of CS is that they don't just shut down and protect you from threats they identify them and go after them.
So if you believe it was a leak and not a hack, and you believe that cs lied and falsely attributed this as a Russian hack, then you likely must also accept that it was CS who identified the source of the leak, #sethrich
I'm not saying CS ordered the hit a "neutralized the threat" themselves, but if they knew, and they fingered #sethrich , they are complicit as they said noting and continue to distribute the "it was Russia" koolaid.
And oh, how convenient it is to have a senior ex-fbi guy on your leadership team, right, @shawn365henry ? Someone tight with comey and McCabe, whose word is gospel..."nah, come-on bros you don't need to see the dnc servers...here's a cs report".
Oh but it goes deeper. See Shawn Henry s doesn't just have status with fbi where he worked for 24 years... He also has deep current connectio n's in the DOJ.
Perhaps meet Shawn's wife, Laura Henry.
Not sure what she does exactly for the doj, criminal division, as the LinkedIn is pretty darn vanilla, but let's hope it's not in the cyber portion of the department, cause that just might be a huge conflict of interest.
I'm mean with cs targeting all the his work to protecting goverent agencies, attributing hacks, and telling the us investigating agencies to "just take their word for it".
And Laura Henry isn't a nobody atvthe DOJ. Her father, Ed Weintraub, was a career DOJ attorney until he passed away in 1991.

So with all these questions I ask? Why wasn't the dnc server examined by the fbi? Why hasn't Alperovitch and Shawn Henry been dragged before the dog and pony show committees to swear what they attest too?
And who is the "conspiracy theorist" now?
And why hasn't chatty Cathy @shawn365henry tweeted in over 4 months? Somebody getting up in your kitchen buddy?
And I'll leave you with this priceless infomercial from March. It's all you need to know.. Shawn henry, John podesta, and the Perkins coie lawyer mark Elias who laundered money to both Crowdstrike and Fusion GPS.
