Its co-founder, Moscow-born Dmitri Alperovitch, is associated with the Clinton Foundation in 2015, CrowdStrike received $100 million in funding from Google whose chairman, Eric Schmidt, was a generous supporter of Hillary Clinton. That isn’t the extent of CrowdStrike’s dubious political ties. (Perkins Coie is the same law firm that hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign to dig up Russia-related dirt on Team Trump before the election.)

While lawmakers and pundits on the Left and NeverTrump Right breezed past Trump’s mention of CrowdStrike-either out of subterfuge or ignorance-it is significant.ĬrowdStrike is a cybersecurity firm with strong ties to the Democratic Party. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation.” “I would like you to find out what happened with the whole situation with Ukraine, with CrowdStrike. “I would like you to do us a favor,” Trump said. That hack, according to collusion truthers, and the subsequent release of damaging emails exchanged between top Democratic Party officials was central to Vladimir Putin’s scheme to sway the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.īut the evidence to support this widely accepted claim is sketchy at best and appears to be under appropriate scrutiny by prosecutors now examining the origins of the FBI’s pre-election investigation into the Trump campaign for “colluding” with Russia.Īccording to the transcript of a July call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s newly elected president, Trump raised the issue of “CrowdStrike” and suggested Ukraine might be in possession of the “server,” a reference to the DNC server. One of the animating chapters in the Trump-Russian collusion saga was the claim that Russia infiltrated the Democratic National Committee’s email server in the spring of 2016.
