What ‘spooked the spooks’ about Trump?

[gipper]

Why did they pursue the obviously absurd Steele Dossier to such an extent? Was it merely Trump’s anti war rhetoric during the campaign or an effort to help HER and continue O’s legacy? Was there some other reason?

What does the MSM’s ridiculous promotion of this obvious fraudulent story, tell us about them?

Why did Western intelligence agencies, prompted, it seems clear, by US ones, seek to undermine Trump’s presidential campaign? A reflexive answer might be because candidate Trump promised to “cooperate with Russia,” to pursue a pro-détente foreign policy, but this was hardly a startling, still less subversive, advocacy by a would-be Republican president. All of the major pro-détente episodes in the 20th century had been initiated by Republican presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, and Reagan.

So, again, what was it about Trump that so spooked the spooks so far off their rightful reservation and so intrusively into American presidential politics? Investigations being overseen by Attorney General William Barr may provide answers—or not. Barr has already leveled procedural charges against James Comey, head of the FBI under President Obama and briefly under President Trump, but the repeatedly hapless Comey seems incapable of having initiated such an audacious operation against a presidential candidate, still less a president-elect.

Well, it seems that many former and current intelligence staff think he may be a russian asset. It's been in the news.

See? That’s entirely absurd and factually incorrect. It is also very easily dispatched.

The Don has been most confrontational with Russia. He has continued Ears’ sanctions and added to them. He dumped decades old nuclear arms treaties with Russia. He has armed to the teeth Eastern European NATO countries. He bombed Russia’s client state Syria, over Putin’s objections. He tried a coup in Venezuela again over Russian objections.

Don’t fall for the msm lies.

$100 Million spent. 23 Investigations over three years. Millions of documents made available to investigators, and not a single criminal recommendation for indictments against President Trump.

That's Reality

Are you talking about Obama or Hillary? Hillary might be a he, just like Michele. To date, the only evidence of Russian Collusion was the $14 Million dollars Obama and Clinton laundered to British and Russian Intelligence in exchange for Putin's Dirty Russian Dossier.

careful man. you're shaking their shit-tree. who knows what turds are going to fall out.

Wait...so the OP thinks the big question is not why did Trump and company have dozens of contacts with Russians, but why did our intelligence agencies investigate all the Russian contacts? Wow....just....wow.

Where is it illegal to do business internationally? I do business with russia.

Do you lie about it repeatedly to the American people? Do you share internal polling data from them? Do you have secret meetings with them to get stolen information?

comey shared internal data. shitstorm of it.

please show me your anger for that or just learn to shut up dude.

How many of those dozens of contacts trace back to the FBI?

None of the dozens of undisclosed Russian contacts the Trump admin had were FBI. Some were former KGB and FSB, but no FBI. I wish one of them had been undercover FBI....

I didn't say the contacts were FBI. I said how many of them can be traced back to the FBI, in other words how many of the contacts were set up by the FBI...

You have me confused with someone else. I have never called him a Russian puppet. Only fools who consume too much MSM fake news do that. However his confrontational stance with a Russia is dangerous and entirely unnecessary. Plus, it goes against his campaign peace seeking rhetoric

Intelligence agencies did not undermine Trump's campaign. Maybe we should wonder why Trump's campaign was willing to work with the Russians to get dirt on Clinton. Why the numerous contacts with Russia. Why the campaign gave internal polling data and other campaign details to a Russian businessman who had ties to Russian Intelligence. Why Russian oligarchs were willing to finance Trump's ventures.

This is just another kook who becomes a source because he is saying what you want to hear. I would love for Trump to make this a issue and see what a kook Ttrump is.

People who do not watch fake news know enough about it now to know what happened. Illegal spying and other efforts were used to stop Trump from getting elected, and when he got elected those efforts morphed into discrediting him enough to get him impeached and overthrow the government. Thats then basic gist of it.

The gist of it is that you are a kook. You are fake news. There was no spying. They were checking out information they received on a investigation into Russian interference in our election. Impeaching a President is not overthrowing a government. It is a legal process.
