WASHINGTON
The FBI and five other law enforcement and intelligence agencies have collaborated for months in an investigation into Russian attempts to influence the November election, including whether money from the Kremlin covertly aided President-elect Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said.
The agencies involved in the inquiry are the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department, the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and representatives of the director of national intelligence, the sources said.
Investigators are examining how money may have moved from the Kremlin to covertly help Trump win, the two sources said. One of the allegations involves whether a system for routinely paying thousands of Russian-American pensioners may have been used to pay some email hackers in the United States or to supply money to intermediaries who would then pay the hackers, the two sources said.
The informal, inter-agency working group began to explore possible Russian interference last spring, long before the FBI received information from a former British spy hired to develop politically damaging and unverified research about Trump, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the inquiry.

Uh huh.
No its about money?
Did Trump spend more than Billary, Inc.?
Billary, Inc. spent approx. $600 million and Trump something less than half of that.
So, if we buy the theory that Russia covertly funneled money to Trump, was it EVER “the money” the helped Trump. No, money did not help Billary, Inc, even though spent twice as much as Trump, so “money” U.S., Russian, whatever did not decide the election.
Sessions should look into the Clinton Foundation expenditures, and foreign donations to the Clintons and see just what role “foreign money” played in the Billary, Inc. campaign.
Sorry, guess I missed that movie.
So the FBI must have a big investigation going on into why Detroit reported more votes than voters.
Probably a big grand jury investigation and indictments announced shortly.
Right?
If they claim to find anything, I’ll just believe it was a frame up.
As long as they continue to ignore the influence of China, Saudia Arabia, and Russian through the Clinton Foundation and other methods, I don’t give a crap what they have to say about Trump.
And that report they had claiming to be from a spy was bogus and clearly not something that any professional former agent would have produced. It’s a plant made up to give them an excuse to have an inquiry and manufacture evidence to take down DJT.
I hope DJT appoints top people, generals, etc. to completely abolish the CIA, FBI, and all the other 17? agencies they boast about. They have caused more wars, murders, and ill will across the globe than we can imagine.
In their place, clean, corrupt-free replacement(s) can be established, if they decide it is necessary. They can interview/vet all the old employees for positions in the new organization, and pick the ones that are true patriots. The traitors should receive the same treatment that the Philippines president gives drug dealers....He pushes them out of the airplane when they are over the ocean!
They are using the Watergate Playbook here.
Remember the millions in illegal campaign money that Bill Clinton and the DNC got caught taking from the Chinese Communists?
Their “probing” will stop in a couple days. Instead, they will be “probing” the help wanted ads. ALL Clown Dunce nobama appointees at every level need their pink slip. Replace them with normal people. LIB lunatics belong in a mental hospital...not in government positions.
- deligitimize Trump
- distract attention away from the emails that show multiple crimes.
They can’t show the evidence yet, but they are busy manufacturing it, so they can show it later.
nopardons after 9/11 not ONE American should think that these BASTARDS are capable of doing their job, CIA and FBI are NOTHING MORE than a comedy of errors!!! It is a shame the American people can NOT BELIEVE a thing coming out of these two VERY IMPORTANT agencies!!! It has TRULY become VERY FRIGHTENING!!!!
The last of their paper shredders just broke, and all the local Staples are sold out of them.
Exactly, Still has nothing to do with Trump. He will become POTUS Friday no matter how loud they yell.
Even if Russia meddling happened the way they say, Trump was totally unaware.
What??? are you freaking kidding me???
MONEY helped Trump win???? That is TOTALLY ABSURD!!!!!
What are these morons thinking???
Hillary outspent Trump 10:1 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
If they can prove that Putin gave Trump a single dime, they will claim it was enough to put him over the top???
Toddlers throw a more intelligent fit on their backs with their arms and legs wriggling around while they are screaming!
There is no proof that this report was produced by Steel. He has certainly not publically declared it. In fact, as pointed out by many familiar with such work products, such a claim is farcical on it’s face - ie not the type of report a former agent would produce.
4Channel claims that as a prank they sent the made up stories to Political Hack Rick Wilson, and he must have added a spy twist before he passed it on. The lies were so obvious, they can’t believe that anyone fell for it. They punked, the CIA, John McCain, and the news media.
Wonderful and thank you for the link. I am on countdown.
