I think this is a major oversimplification and misses the forest for the trees.  If there's something apparently fishy going on with some party that prompts the IC to get a warrant to surveil them, they aren't going to look at just one single server.  What does one single server mean?  Nothing.  What's important is who is using it and for what purposes and that's where it becomes irrelevant where it was or wasn't located.[/quote]

It is this tendency for Mensch and those who trust her to explain away every discrepancy as if it was unimportant that is so frustrating. I get the same feeling about the Mensheviks as I do about the Pizzagate folks.

If Trump and his campaign/transition teams were as involved with the Russians as you all seem to think, this server would have been relatively unimportant. The irony is that Mensch and her wrong-headed ideas about this server led directly to Trump's notorious tweets about the "tapp" Obama put on his phone.

Just to be clear, it is obvious that there are some very strange and suspicious ties between Trump and the Russians. That can be true and Mensch can still be wrong about a whole bunch of things. I would argue that she actually makes it easier to discredit the actual Trump/Russian connection by crowding the discussion with misinformation.
