Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence

The trump junta is finished

Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time that they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

I cannot condone these activities, if in fact they are contacting Russia for support during the election. As far as I am concerned Russia is not an ally to America and probably never will be. Their system would need to change dramatically to even normalize relations. I do however, have a number of questions and statements to make about this.

1. How exactly did Russia effect the election?

2. If this is about "leaks" of Democrat emails, there needs to be a deep analysis of other leaks, fake news and incidents during the election. From pre-arranged questions in the Democratic campaign, to old videos being uncovered and released. You can go as far as you want, including why Clintons Foundation wasn't dealt with and what Bill Clinton and AG Lynch were discussing on a plane.

3. Is media complicit in their bias, attempting to "influence" the election, rather than being bi-partisan and journalistic? 99% Of the mainstream media supporting Clinton during her primary, and Clinton during the general election.

4. How were the donations to the since sunsetted International Clinton Foundation being applied? What promises and benefits were offered to the International community who were clearly propping her up?

Hell we could go on and on. Should there be donations allowed? After all, that's "influencing an election". There are 100's of nations who have various reasons for wanting someone to win. If anything, the fact that Trump proudly and loudly screamed that his government would be "America First", is about as patriotic and without influence, especially when compared to the Democratic nominee.

Again, I'm not supporting allowing Russia to get away with this, there should be consequences. Obama took some of those steps before he left office. I do see a clear double standard though, with so much money pouring in for Clinton, that's a massive advantage for anyone running for any office and it's not just a gift that doesn't expect to be repaid in one form or another. Noone believes this. Not one person on either side.

1. Fake news, propaganda, hacking. The public, unclassified version of the report: https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf

2. I don't care. Sure. Any price for exposing foreign sabotage, and Trump's complicity in support of it is worth paying.

3. The media gave Trump an unprecedented amount of coverage, at almost no cost to the Trump campaign. They depicted the conspiracy theories against Clinton, which have completely vanished since the end of the election, as being as bad or worse then the stories that have since proven accurate against Trump. A yuge benefit to him.

4. Wild speculation. Plenty have investigated it. No wrongdoing found.


All pointless though. What matters now is determining what Trump has promised Russia and why, and what Russia has on him that can be used as blackmail.

Fake News.

 

[theHawk]

Interesting they keep coming up with "intercepted communications", sounds like Obama was spying on the entire Trump campaign, and I doubt he had a warrant for the wiretaps. This could get interesting indeed. Once Trump finds out who was spying on American citizens, the DoJ can start pressing charges.

The title: Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence

The body: "The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation."

CNN and NYT have done this shit far too often.

They keep posting these click/bait anti-Trump headlines, then they disqualify themselves in the first paragraph of the article.

Why exactly they get offended when they are called "fake news"?

Roger Stone looks so much like Pence, the hair anyway. Wonder if that is why Trump picked Pence.

The Washington Post brought down Nixon. Now The New York Times is bringing down Trump.
