FBI provides innocent explanation for Trump email domain disappearance

The FBI provided a friendly notification to a Trump Organization computer client during the Russia probe that the firm failed to update Trump's marketing email domain from an old server host to a new one, according to a newly released text message by then-FBI lead investigator Peter Strzok.

The Strzok message provides an innocent explanation for why the domain name system address was canceled and puts to rest a liberal conspiracy theory of a Donald Trump coverup.

The liberal press and social media blogs alleged during the election, and still today, that Alfa and the Trump Organization maintained a dedicated secret communication link via a computer server.

SEE ALSO: Strzok's Alfa Bank text message Part of the liberal narrative is that once this allegation reached Alfa Bank, the Trump domain mysteriously vanished.

Agent Strzok tells a different story: the FBI had contacted Central Dynamics which includes subsidiary Cendyn, whose servers in Pennsylvania are used for hotel marketing including the Trump Organization since 2009.

Over a year ago, Mr. Strzok says, Cendyn shifted the Trump domain to GoDaddy, the firm's new server host.

The Slate.com story reported that after a New York Times reporter contacted Alfa in September, the "Trump domain name in question seemed to suddenly stop working." That coincides with Mr. Strzok's innocent explanation that same month: the FBI had informed Central Dynamics that it still maintained the obsolete "Trump-email.com" domain name and after the notification, the firm terminated it.
