British intelligence passed on (Trump associates' comms with Russians) on to US IC

a reply to: Indigo5

this can best be summed up as..........

"Global military/Industrial complex warpigs collude to share illegally obtained intelligence so as to stop Trump from deconstructing their system"

It's so obvious that any comments to the contrary are deemed rantings of the insane, imo.

Weell, comfort yourself that there will lots of Trump's and Putin's in bunkers to carry on the species. They must get all fuzzy warm feeling thinking about that.

Looks like CNN got busted once again

Funny how they finally release this on MOAB-day when it is certain to be overshadowed and buried.

Be on the lookout for other news dumps.

can't stand aj, that said every time i see that cnn missile attack video i think it would have been a good comedy sketch for the old laugh in show. you got one bozo putting on a gas mask and one bozo disappears and comes back up in a oversized helmet on. both of them fumbling around putting them on. i guess in that one one is going to survive.
the only thing that would make it better would be the benny hill theme "Yakety Sax playing in the back ground.

Holy sh!t. CNN is shooting themselves in the foot for months now and keeps reloading the gun. Wow.

That is comedy right?

Trump is the greatest friend to the "Global military/Industrial complex warpigs" that the WH has seen in 50 years..

In his first 80 days he has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in history, interceded in Syria and proposed growing the military budget by 30%....Just to cite the obvious..

It's no surprise that there were several conversations with Russians - very normal.

Please explain..

Who do you think was included as part of the 'associates of Trump'?

Straight up?

First guesses:

Flynn, Manafort, Carter Page, Roger Stone

Second Guesses:

Bannon, Kushner, Cohen

Potentially all of the above and then some..

Of those you mentioned, what is wrong with them speaking with Russians?

Russian FSB? Covertly? and lying about it?

Uh-huh....keep those eyes and ears covered...

Doesnt this just prove there was a spying effort against Trump????

I don't know? If the Cops raid a crack-house and find the Mayor there, is he a victim of persecution?

No...there was not an "spying effort against Trump"

There was a "spying effort" against Russian Intelligence Agents which found Trump Associates communicating with them over a period of months.

Anyone can talk to the Russians its not illegal

Sure...Is talking to your Russian Neighbor about the weather the same as a Campaign for President of the United states having covert communications with Russian FSB whilst they are executing a cyber campaign to interfere in the US Presidential election to your campaigns benefit?

Defending Trump shouldn't demand you act stupid.

Here's a very nice article from Busines Insider that I saw earlier today about this, for those so eager to dismiss CNN and any actual information about this, which has been piling up.

Quite a bit of very nice information in the article. Tremendous!

The BBC's Paul Wood reported earlier this year that the investigation began in earnest in the spring of 2016 when an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic states passed former CIA Director John Brennan a recording that alleged money from the Kremlin had made its way into Trump's campaign coffers.

Brennan reportedly established a counterintelligence task force, which included the FBI and the National Security Agency. That summer, Robert Hannigan, then the chief of the GCHQ, passed Brennan more material related to conversations Trump associates had with suspected or known Russian agents, according to The Guardian.

Should make for some interesting question in the Hearings..

Or.................

How about a lame duck president bypassed all legal constraints to spy on domestic opposition candidate(s) using GCHQ as foil and then wrote E.O. as cover for wide dissemination of information.

I'd guess spying showed no actionable intelligence so instead Russian hacking was ginned up so later insinuations could be made by disseminating who talking to who.

Sure has all hallmarks of disinformation campaign.

But spin as you may, meanwhile those who committed felonies will be caught up with.

Thus far that looks like a fake news theme pushed on twitter...

I agree with that sentiment, but we might disagree on the "who" part...
