Donald Trump Running Insecure Email Servers (theregister.co.uk)

Donald Trump has slammed Hillary Clinton for using private email servers numerous times, but it turns out his inboxes aren't that secure either. From a report on The Register: Security researcher Kevin Beaumont discovered the Trump organization uses a hopelessly outdated and insecure internet setup. Servers on the Trump Organization's domain, TrumpOrg.com, are using outdated software, run Windows Server 2003 and the built-in Internet Information Server 6 web server. Microsoft cut off support for this technology in July 2015, leaving the systems unpatched for the last 15 months. In addition, Beaumont said he'd found that emails from the Trump Organization failed to support two-factor authentication. That's particularly bad because the Trump Organization's web-based email access page relies on an outdated March 2015 build of Microsoft Exchange 2007, he says. "Windows Server 2003, IIS 6 and Exchange 2003 went end of life years ago. There are no security fixes. They don't have basics down," the UK-based researcher concludes. Beaumont's findings are based simply on inspecting publicly available information rather than actively scanning for vulnerabilities or attempting to gain access to insecure systems, a point lost on Trump supporters who have reported him to the Feds.

the Project Veritas videos of Robert Creamer, the Democrat activist who has visited the Obama White House 342 times (47 of those visits one-on-one with Obama himself) explaining that:
The Clinton campaign pays the DNC...
The DNC pays Democracy Partners...
Democracy Partners pays the Foval Group...
and The Foval Group started all the violence at all the Trump rallies.
This is brown-shirt stuff right out of the 1930s... and as always it is from the National Socialist Workers Party sort - in this case the "progressive Democrats" of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Obama administration. We now know that this stuff goes right to Barack "Community Organizer" Obama and Hillary.
