Trump’s obsession with the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike …references a right-wing conspiracy that theorizes the claim that Russia hacked Democratic National Committee’s servers in 2016 are part of an elaborate ruse, devised to discredit Trump’s victory. 

…The supposed evidence of Russia’s innocence relies on the belief that a DNC server has been hidden in Ukraine, possibly by CrowdStrike’s cofounder Dmitri Alperovitch.

…That belief may stem from a statement by  ….[Trump] in which he questioned why the FBI didn’t look at the DNC server, that CrowdStrike is owned by “a very rich Ukrainian.” Alperovitch is actually a Russian-born American citizen.

…Turning over the physical server isn’t necessary (or the usual procedure) for forensic analyses, and it isn’t as useful as a copy of what was on the server at the time, which CrowdStrike provided to the FBI. And independent security experts and U.S. intelligence agencies confirmed that Russia was behind the hack, using Crowdstrike’s evidence and more than what was found on one server.
