Six U.S. agencies created a stealth task force, spearhead by CIA’s Brennan, to run domestic surveillance on Trump associates and possibly Trump himself.
To feign ignorance and to seemingly operate within U.S. laws, the agencies freelanced the wiretapping of Trump associates to the British spy agency GCHQ.
The decision to insert GCHQ as a back door to eavesdrop was sparked by the denial of two FISA Court warrant applications filed by the FBI to seek wiretaps of Trump associates.
GCHQ did not work from London or the UK. In fact the spy agency worked from NSA’s headquarters in Fort Meade, MD with direct NSA supervision and guidance to conduct sweeping surveillance on Trump associates.
The illegal wiretaps were initiated months before the controversial Trump dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
The Justice Department and FBI set up the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr., Manafort and Kushner with controversial Russian officials to make Trump’s associates appear compromised.
Following the Trump Tower sit down, GCHQ began digitally wiretapping Manafort, Trump Jr., and Kushner.

Thank you for this thread!
I don't consider True Pundit a reliable source. Then, or now. Doesn't mean parts may not be right, I'd just be particularly skeptical of any supposed juicy parts.
As it should!
If we don’t get angry, we don’t get active and we let the main stream media get away with suppressing the greatest scandal that’s probably ever happened in our Republic.
Heads need to roll, as in prison or worse for these rogue treasonous individuals.
“GCHQ began digitally wiretapping Manafort, Trump Jr., and Kushner.”
So... not really GCHQ. But the US NSA.
The part that caught my eye was the description of the british spies working in NSA under their management. That’s a particularly explicit detail that makes it feel more true to me. I remember doing government contracting and we’d often have foreign people working on government premises.
I know WHY they did it, and the reasons are fully political and corrupt.
I also know why many who were apolitical and professional went along with it. They allowed themselves to become convinced by the political snakes involved that Trump was a risk as a manchurian candidate, IE the Russia narrative.
This is despite the fact that Trump has a long history in New York as a patriotic capitalist businessman.
What makes this whole thing so sick is that just 8 years previous, a many who spent part if his youth in a Madrasa and spent his early adulthood with domestic terrorist was not treated the same way.
Rational, well reasoned and I share your disgust.
> Heads need to roll, as in prison or worse for these rogue treasonous individuals.
I thought treason warranted the electric chair.
Great find! Thanks.
The only true revelation was that “Deep” facilitated the meeting with the Russian Lawyer.
It’s the crucial detail that makes it work.
It was just a link in one of the comments at Conservative Treehouse, bless those branches.
“The part that caught my eye was the description of the british spies working in NSA under their management. That’s a particularly explicit detail that makes it feel more true to me.”
If so, this was particularly lazy. The NSA should have had an agent, under a false identity, hire a firm who then hired another firm. (I think that’s called a “cutout.”) That was it would be almost impossible to ever trace who actually paid for the work. (Maybe just one firm hired. But they obviously expected Hillary to win so there would never be any questions about it later.)
When someone "who spent part if his youth in a Madrasa and spent his early adulthood with domestic terrorist" takes over the White House, this is what he does as a natural inclination, and he finds others with a similar inclination to fill out his administration.

Wow.
The article mentioned intelligence sources at True Pundit. Back when I was with a company that did a lot of military government contracting, I couldn’t keep track of all the people we were dealing with. So I started a computer file that grew like topsy with every detail I learned about every government person I interacted with. Showed it to my boss, who panicked and said erase it from the computer.
But print out a copy for him first!
People gossip and people remember.
One German gentleman was much disliked and they got off on not being around when he needed an escort to the bathroom. I tried to chat him up and asked the stupid question about what he most wanted to do in life. His reponse was, Get my enemies before I die. Needless to say, it was difficult to find a response.
But even very low-level, uninvolved people are going to remember and have stories.
