A user named MooseContrarian informed me of a way he did it that's even indiscernible in the logs, so actually displaying the logs wouldn't prove anything either: "Running a local dns server and catching/redirecting the requests the bots make for data. They’re just web requests. Slap up an Apache instance and play around with the challenge/response a bit, nbd. To Alexa, she connected to the server at the address she expected, asked a question and got a reply."
At this point, I'd only believe Crowder if Amazon independently admitted that this was happening.

Trump Withdraws U.S. From UN Migrant And Refugee Compact The pact’s “global approach” was “simply not compatible with U.S. sovereignty,” said Nikki Haley, U.S. ambassador to the UN. Continuing his “America First” approach to foreign policy, President Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. out of a United Nations compact seeking global cooperation to protect the safety and rights of refugees and migrants. Trump’s decision to end America’s “participation in the Global Compact on Migration” was disclosed on Saturday by the U.S. Mission to the U.N. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., explained in a statement that the pact’s “global approach” was “simply not compatible with U.S. sovereignty.” “[O]ur decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone. We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country,” Haley said.

Operative Offered Trump Campaign ‘Kremlin Connection’ Using N.R.A. Ties WASHINGTON — A conservative operative trumpeting his close ties to the National Rifle Association and Russia told a Trump campaign adviser last year that he could arrange a back-channel meeting between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, according to an email sent to the Trump campaign. A May 2016 email to the campaign adviser, Rick Dearborn, bore the subject line “Kremlin Connection.” In it, the N.R.A. member said he wanted the advice of Mr. Dearborn and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, then a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and Mr. Dearborn’s longtime boss, about how to proceed in connecting the two leaders. Russia, he wrote, was “quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S.” and would attempt to use the N.R.A.’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., to make “‘first contact.’” The email, which was among a trove of campaign-related documents turned over to investigators on Capitol Hill, was described in detail to The New York Times. Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, secured a guilty plea on Friday from President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, for lying to the F.B.I. about contacts with Moscow’s former ambassador to the United States. But those contacts came after Mr. Trump’s improbable election victory. The emailed outreach from the conservative operative to Mr. Dearborn came far earlier, around the same time that Russians were trying to make other connections to the Trump campaign. Another contact came through an American advocate for Christian and veterans causes, and together, the outreach shows how, as Mr. Trump closed in on the nomination, Russians were using three foundational pillars of the Republican Party — guns, veterans and Christian conservatives — to try to make contact with his unorthodox campaign.

Report: Operative with NRA ties offered Trump campaign “Kremlin Connection,” meeting with Putin The Trump campaign was contacted by a conservative operative to set up a back-channel meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the New York Times reported Sunday. The alleged connection represents another effort from the Russians to ingratiate themselves with President Donald Trump during the 2016 election. According to an email obtained by the Times, which was turned over as part of the congressional investigations into potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, operative Paul Erickson wrote an email to Trump campaign adviser Rick Dearborn in May 2016 titled “Kremlin Connection” that asked for Dearborn and then-adviser Jeff Sessions’ advice on how to connect Trump with the Russian leader. Erickson, the Times reported, is a conservative activist and member of the National Rifle Association. The operative’s NRA connection reportedly allowed Erickson to establish ties to Russia. The report said he worked with Maria Butina, founder of the Russian gun-rights group Right to Bear Arms, and traveled to Russia in 2015 as part of an NRA delegation.
