As part of intelligence operations being conducted against the United States for the last seven months, at least one Western European ally intercepted a series of communications before the inauguration between advisers associated with President Donald Trump and Russian government officials, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Western European intelligence operations began in August, after the British government obtained information that people acting on behalf of Russia were in contact with members of the Trump campaign. Those details from the British were widely shared among the NATO allies in Europe. The Baltic nation has been gathering intelligence for at least that long, and has conducted surveillance of executives from the Trump Organization who were traveling in Europe.
German electronic surveillance determined that the father of Trump’s Azerbaijani business partner is a government official who laundered money for the Iranian military
Worse, the United States is now in a situation that may be unprecedented—where European governments know more about what is going on in the Executive Branch than any elected American official.
These sources spoke on condition that they not be identified because they were not formally authorized to disclose the information. While Newsweek was told which allied nations intercepted the communications and are gathering intelligence on Trump associates, the sources did so on condition that the countries not be identified out of concern those governments would incur the president’s wrath.

Excellent find, Muse. I don't know why you've played this off like it's nothing. S&F
Folks, this is exactly how the 'web of international Intelligence' works on US.
One country spying on us and providing that intel back to opposition forces within the borders of the target country.
This is how The Law is circumvented.
Glaring if you ask me.

What fascinates me is that people are seeing some sort of high crime for communications before he was voted in (Trump). He had nothing politically to offer before Nov. 8.

A lot of People are speculating that the sanctions Obama put in place after it was released that Russia hacked the DNC were not just a retaliation, but a trap for anyone in the Trump administration to get caught in. If so, then it's clear that Obama was playing the long game.
At least it is good to see people finally admit that Obama was sabotaging the incoming administration. Not only involving himself is the election, but fomenting and instigating rioting after the election, as well as attempting to destabilize international relations.

So US allies spy on private American citizens. That at the time were'n't even running or nominated.
Hmmmmmmm.
Seven months.
And long before the so called 'Russian Hack'.
Newsweek is full of #.
