So We Find Out FBI Has Been Investigating Trump Since July

[Eloy]

Putin has used the Trump Campaign during the presidential election to target Trump's opponent. The FBI has known this for months but Comey allowed himself to be manipulated into declaring just before voting day that the Democratic e-mails were being examined to see if Donald Trump's political opponent had committed a crime and later exonerating her. What a gift to the Republicans.

Trump fights dirty. Hardly a day goes by without him making-up calumnies against his opponents, past and present. He has been saying that President Obama was a bad or sick man for ordering wire taps on his Trump Tower and even after this was put to bed as a fabrication by U.S. intelligence operatives, Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, said the president is sticking by his story.

Not only is the man in the Oval Office off his rocker, so are all the Republicans who are behind him. The Judiciary and now the FBI will have to work promptly to suck every ounce of credibility from the American president and his emasculated stooges in the Senate and House as well as the purveyors of Trump's lies on hate radio and Fox News.

The 2011 Exxon-Rosneft agreement was frozen when sanctions were imposed on Russia in 2014, following the annexation of Crimea and covert military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Exxon Mobil estimated the sanctions cost it $1bn and Tillerson has argued strenuously for the measures to be lifted.


In June, two years after sanctions were imposed and in an apparent show of support for Sechin, Tillerson reportedly turned up at a St Petersburg economic summit.



“Tillerson has a relationship with Putin and he opposed the sanctions imposed on Russia after the annexation of Crimea. This will alarm those worried about Russian intentions in Europe.”


“Trump’s choice of Rex Tillerson suggests he wants to make good on his promise to cut deals with Russia instead of containing it,” said Thomas Wright, who has written extensively on Trump’s foreign policy at the Brookings Institution.

“Reporting on Exxon was not only harder than reporting on the Bin Ladens, it was harder than reporting on the CIA by an order of magnitude,” said Steve Coll, who wrote about the company in a book, Private Empire.

“They have a culture of intimidation that they bring to bear in their external relations, and it is plenty understood inside the corporation too. They make people nervous, they make people afraid,” Coll, now a journalism professor at Columbia University, told Texas Monthly.

It looks like Intelligence agencies caught it right at the beginning, where it started at the RNC Convention, in July 2016.

The Russian Ambassador was in Cleveland during the RNC Convention, and met with J.D Gordon, a Trump senior adviser, whom then installed in the Republican platorm--that we would not arm Ukranians against Russian Separatists.

Another national security adviser to the Trump campaign, J.D. Gordon, also disclosed Thursday, (after Sessions was accused of lying under oath) that he had met with Kislyak, this time during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. That meeting was first reported by USA Today. Gordon had advocated for language in the GOP platform that the Ukrainians not be armed in their battle against pro-Russian separatists, an effort was ultimately successful. But Gordon says he was simply advocating what Trump himself had expressed -- that he did not wish to see major war break out over the situation in Ukraine.

Which immediately set off a 6 station fire alarm on the Trump campaign, and certainly did not go unnoticed by intelligence agencies in this country.

No candidates or their surrogates will sit across a table from a Foreign adversary, in the middle of the campaign season to write foreign policy. Writing foreign policy happens AFTER they win an election, not BEFORE.

And after that--it's been one lie after another.

Full transcript: FBI Director James Comey testifies on Russian interference in 2016 election


"The Russian active measures campaign may have begun as early as 2015, when Russian intelligence services launched a series of spear fishing attacks designed to penetrate the computers of a broad array of Washington based Democratic and Republican party organizations, think tanks and other entities. This continued at least through the winter of 2016.

While at first the hacking may have been intended solely for the collection of foreign intelligence. In mid-2016 the Russians weapon eyes the stolen data and used platforms established by the Intel services, such as D.C. leaks in existing third-party channels like WikiLeaks to dump the documents. The stolen documents were almost uniformly damaging to the candidate Putin despised, Hillary Clinton. And by forcing her campaign to constantly respond to the daily drip of disclosures, the releases greatly benefited Donald Trump's campaign.

None of these facts is seriously in question. And they're reflected in the consensus conclusion of our intelligence agencies.

We will never know whether the Russian intervention was determinative in such a close election. Indeed, it is unknowable in a campaign to which so many small changes could have dictated a different result. More importantly, and for the purposes of our investigation, it simply does not matter.

What does matter is this, the Russians successfully meddled in our democracy and our intelligence agencies have concluded they will do so again. Ours is not the first democracy to be attacked by the Russians in this way. Russian intelligence has been simile interfering in the internal and political affairs of our European and other allies for decades.


SCHIFF: What is striking here is the degree to which the Russians were willing to undertake such an audacious and risky action against the most powerful nation on Earth. That ought to be a warning to us that if we thought that the Russians would not dare to so blatantly interfere in our affairs, we were wrong.

And if we do not do our very best to understand how the Russians accomplished this unprecedented attack on our democracy and what we need to do to protect ourselves in the future, we will only have ourselves to blame.

We know a lot about the Russian operation, about the way they amplified the damage their hacking and dumping of stolen documents was causing through the use of slick propaganda like R.T., the Kremlin's media arm. But there is a lot we don't know.

Most important, we do not yet know whether the Russians have the help of U.S. citizens including people associated with the Trump campaign. Many of the Trump's campaign personnel, including the president himself, have ties to Russia and Russian interests. This is of course no crime. On the other hand, if the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime, it would also represent one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history."

Considering the Russians had an ace in the hole by paying the Podestas to lobby to remove the sanctions, why would they hack the DNC?

The Podesta Group was making a killing off the Kremlin's bank.

And I'll believe that the Russians hacked the election when the FBI and the NSA or hells bells anyone in the intel community get around to examining the DNC servers.

One can understand that Sessions could have misinterpreted the question, but with him filling out a questionaire prior to going into the confirmation hearing and checking a box that he hadn't been in contact with any Russians, and then signing it--makes it a real problem for him.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions had two contacts with Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak during the presidential campaign, Justice Department officials confirmed. The Washington Post first reported the meetings Wednesday. When he was asked in his confirmation hearing what he would do if there was evidence anyone associated with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign had communicated with the Russians, Sessions replied that he wasn’t aware of any such “activities,” and added, “I did not have communications with the Russians.” A questionnaire he filled out for the committee also asked whether he had had contact with the Russians, to which Sessions, according to the Post, wrote, “No.”

It's not propaganda. Comey and Rogers admitted today that they still have not examined the DNC servers.

 

[bripat9643]

But there was NO surveillance. Now if you're stupid enough to believe they've been investigating since July and didn't do surveillance you're too stupid to form a rational conclusion.

Then we find out today there is 20 people in NSA who can unmask the names of those who are being monitored. Looks like the only question left for this part of this waste of time is who was the Obama mole in the NSA who leaked Flynn's name which proves the surveillance.

So, the only crime committed was the leaks, felony, up to 10 years in Federal prison. Libtardos better hope to hell they don't find out there's a direct tie to Obama and the one who leaked in the NSA.

Democrat's are going to keep this Russian witch hunt up until they inadvertently expose Obama and his dirty deeds.

Interesting that the article you linked to omitted a very important point about the so called questionairre.

The question was submitted in writing by Senator Leahy. It dealt strictly with the campaign.

Here's the question that Sessions answered honestly. Leahy's question actually backs up Sessions statement that he was answering the Russian issue in the context of the election campaign.

" He also responded “no” when asked by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy in writing, “have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?” according to the Washington Post."

YES, THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
No, that doesn’t mean the investigation is going anywhere.
March 21, 2017

Matthew Vadum

Embattled FBI Director James Comey finally acknowledged publicly in congressional testimony that his agency is indeed investigating President Trump’s campaign for alleged ties to the Russian government and collusion regarding the November election.

The ongoing witch-hunt is probably a blessing in disguise for Trump. Democrats are putting all their eggs in one basket as they obsess over all these fuzzy and at times speculative connections between Trump and the Russians. They are feeding their crazed, Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering base what nowadays passes for red meat. Normal people don’t care or they rightly intuit that the farfetched allegations that somehow some Russians hacked the election to favor Trump are nonsense.

The absence of evidence of collusion between Team Trump and Russia is overwhelming, for lack of a better word, and unless actual evidence of electoral mischief surfaces the public backlash against those crying wolf at some point is likely to be fierce.

...

In his opening statement, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), ranking member on the committee, repeated the unfailingly popular left-wing falsehood that Trump called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In July last year Trump “openly appeals to the Russians to hack his opponents’ emails, telling them that they will be richly rewarded by the press,” the congressman claimed.

Of course, that’s not what Trump actually said at the oft-cited July 27, 2016, presser. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said, adding sarcastically: "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

A few minutes later he followed up on Twitter, writing “If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!”

...(oops 6)

Yes, The FBI Is Investigating the Trump Campaign

 

[JBond]

But there was NO surveillance. Now if you're stupid enough to believe they've been investigating since July and didn't do surveillance you're too stupid to form a rational conclusion.

Then we find out today there is 20 people in NSA who can unmask the names of those who are being monitored. Looks like the only question left for this part of this waste of time is who was the Obama mole in the NSA who leaked Flynn's name which proves the surveillance.

^ Lol zero grasp of the issue

What part of "you're too stupid to form a rational conclusion." did you not understand?

The leak was a crime. Comey stated clearly there was NO hack of voting machines. Your butthurt is all about Hillaryous' loss and the swamp being drained of Communists and criminals.

You think only 20 people could have unmasked Flynn. This shit goes deeper and is more complicated than that. Trump has apparently been engaged in suspicious activities for well over a decade now. I can't wait to find out why.

This concerns me. I believe 2005 was the first year. The power players can sink anyone without providing proof of illegal activity. Anonymous leaks etc. In today's America, you must assume everything you say or post on the internet has been recorded and available to thousands of government agents.

2004 was the first year. Though Trump's ties to Russia go back several decades. His family and him have been involved in real estate in the most major cities in this country for decades. No doubt he's worked hard to hide his ties to the mob and foreign investors. Though inviting known mobsters to his parties was a really dumb move. It's all getting ready to come out and I can't wait!

What concerns me is the monitoring of US citizens. 12 years and they found nothing. I don't think this is going to turn out the way you believe it is.

How do you know the FBI is onto something?

The Trump criminal enterprise, euphemisticly referred to as the Trump Administration, is desperately trying to distance itself from the likes of Manafort and Roger Stone...

what purpose does it serve them today? I'm confused, it seems reasonable. It has nothing to do with Trump.

Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), ranking member on the committee, repeated the unfailingly popular left-wing falsehood that Trump called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In July last year Trump “openly appeals to the Russians to hack his opponents’ emails, telling them that they will be richly rewarded by the press,” the congressman claimed.

Of course, that’s not what Trump actually said at the oft-cited July 27, 2016, presser. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said, adding sarcastically: "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

A few minutes later he followed up on Twitter, writing “If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!”

Yes, The FBI Is Investigating the Trump Campaign

this morning Trey Gowdy was on Fox and Friends and he stated that the congress knew about the investigation Comey announced yesterday, so there was nothing new. Nothing from the congress side of this witch hunt. NOTHING!!!!!!

Yesterday, documents surfaced showing that former Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort had received at least $750,000 in illegal payments from former Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych, who is about to be tried for treason in absentia in Ukraine.

Today, Denis Voronenkov was shot to death in the streets of Kiev in broad daylight, just a few weeks after he said he would testify against Yanukovych and his cohorts — Manafort included.

This is only the latest in a list of Russian dissidents to be murdered or die under mysterious circumstances since the U.S. Election. The timing of Voronenkov’s murder in conjunction with the latest revelations about Manafort — a man he was likely to incriminate — makes this latest tragedy all the more suspect.


News first broke of Manafort’s involvement in Russian criminal activity came in August when Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Bureau revealed that Trump’s then Campaign Chair had been implicated in a shadow accounting scheme that allegedly earned him $12.7 million in illegal payments from President Yanukovych’s Party of Regions.

Manafort resigned four days later, however as we all now know, Russian agents continued to work on behalf of the Trump campaign.

The assassin also wounded Voronenkov’s body guard (who is expected to recover) before being shot by authorities. The assassin, who died in the hospital soon after, was a soldier in Russia’s National Guard and carried “a certificate proving his combatant status” — fueling speculation that the assassination order came from the highest reaches of the Russian government.
