Sure he did.
What method does a retired private citizen have to observe traffic on the internet?
The NSA had to create secret rooms at internet backbone providers to observe source and destination traffic, but this retired private citizen can do it from his house. He should sell his method to someone like the NSA.
So, you're now a cyber security expert, too? The man runs a high level security firm. You really believe that somebody who retired from the military (especially in his field) doesn't still have multiple high level contacts in the military? Really?
I believe that I'd rather listen to and believe General Flynn.
I'm not a cyber security expert, but I know more about IP networking than 98% of the world.
During the PA hearing Waldron was a "Statistical Expert" and presented the incorrect information that PA only sent out 1.8M mail in ballots and received back 2.5M. This was absolutely incorrect, and our expert seemed to have confused the 1.8M ballots sent out in the Primary with the General Election.
Now in AZ suddenly this guy is a computer security expert.
What's this guys actual experience?
Based on the timeline here he spent 10 years in the army, transitioned to the reserves, and spent 22 years as a pharma sales rep selling for pfizer back to the army. Then he retired and started a brewery / shooting range / firearms school where he is the chief instructor.
Lot going on for a guy to also become an expert in statistics and cyber security.
So what does he actually say in Arizona?

1. He shows a graph from a tool called spiderfoot that was run on Nov. 3rd against dominionvoting.com and proves that dominionvoting was connected to the internet on Nov 3rd.
Of course dominionvoting.com was connected to the internet on November 3rd, it's their damn public facing website. It's always connected to the internet, that's the job of a webserver. If I got to whitehouse.gov (not .com, thats important) there is always a website up for whitehouse.gov, that doesn't mean I can connect to Trumps PC. dominionvoting.com is supposed to be connected to the internet, but just like trumps PC that doesn't mean I can connect to a voting machine. The voting machines probably aren't even connected to the dominionvoting.com network, they are owned by and plugged into networks owned by the states / counties.
So whats in that graph? It's a map of all the endpoints that the spiderfoot tool (running on his laptop) connected to when it loaded the webpage dominionvoting.com and crawled the subdomains referenced on the root page. Only traffic from this guys laptop, not traffic from other clients to dominionvoting.com. Why so many? Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) cache frequently accessed objects on websites closer to the clients, these CDNs are spread globally. As spiderfoot crawled the website repeatedly it hit different CDN nodes. dominionvoting.com uses cloudflare for CDN.
The author of the spiderfoot tool wrote a blog about his tool being used to mislead people into believing something fraudulent was going on.

2. What does he say about Frankfurt. "We did observe packet traffic going from the US,
now we don't know if it was specifically dominion traffic going, but to a server in Frankfurt." He is very careful not to lie here. They could have gone to the frankfurt airport website and made that a true statement. He doesn't know if it was dominion traffic, but i'm sure some traffic went from the US to Frankfurt.
Is there any way he could have visibility to traffic between dominionvoting.com and germany. Hell no. He would have to access the ISP that services traffic to dominionvoting.com and mirror or tcpdump packets off for analysis. The NSA has to build a massive amount of infrastructure and secret rooms in the backbone provider networks to accomplish that type of traffic visibility. It's outside the realm of possibility for this guy, and he would have commit a felony.
What if he accessed the dominionvoting.com server logs and checked for IPs from frankfurt? Does this guy look like he is going to confess to a felony on video? He didn't do that.
This is your smoking gun, the hill you want to die on? A wishy washy half assed misleading analysis of running a scan of dominions public website by a retired pharma sales rep? You guys complain about the misleading mainstream media, but the far right media took "now we don't know if it was specifically dominion traffic" and turned it into this :
I hate liars, and this guy smells real fishy. He's well spoken due to his sales experience and experience as an army officer, and seems to be the perfect "expert" for Rudy to throw out for the argument of the day. He stops just short of outright lying, but he is absolutely out to deceive people with his analysis of dominionvoting.com.
