Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence
New York Times ^ | FEB. 14, 2017 | MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT, MARK MAZZETTI and MATT APUZZO

Posted on 02/14/2017 7:17:27 PM PST by VanShuyten

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.

...

The officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other associates of Mr. Trump. On the Russian side, the contacts also included members of the Russian government outside of the intelligence services, the officials said. All of the current and former officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the continuing investigation is classified.

Trump may not survive this folks. They are trying to keep the focus on the leaks but the Rats MSM & GOPe will not let them. Don’t be surprised if they use this to take out Pence at the same time.

We’re witnessing a battle that had to be fought at some point and should have been fought many years ago. The forces against Trump have a lot of power but he can damage them some and already has. That and his winning of the election may be all we come out of this with, who knows. One thing I can hope for: that many illegals are deported during however long Trump is in there.

“They can make up anything they want, and it will be believed by many.”

LOL. This is a New York Times article.

They have been obsessing about Russian conspiracies for over a year. There’s nothing here.

Even if all this crap is true, it’s not illegal to talk to Russians. They are going nowhere with this. But it keeps them distracted from other things like the immigration crackdown.

I think Pence is safe. I don’t think Trump is safe.

and soon authentic looking but fraudulent contact documents will be discovered that will show a Trump connection to Russia putting the legitimacy of Trump’s presidential win in question.

WHAT DID TRUMP KNOW AND WHEN DID TRUMP KNOW IT

I heard this very thing today when a TV in our lunchroom was turned on to CNN and there was John Conyers and the rest of the usual suspects standing there with the worst look on their faces - like it was the end of the world - asking what did the administration know and when did they know it.

It would seem so. Problem is, he cannot triangulate because the Dems are all in with their #resist base.

“we’re witnessing the neutering of Trump’s presidency”

I bet you were one of the snowflakes who surrendered to Hillary back in July.

This Russian stuff is not new. There’s nothing here.

I don’t know for sure, but it sure seems this is coming from Barky and Hillary...

After everything I have researched since last week tells me that this is the way to get Trump removed from office...

This isn’t going to work, because WE the American People have put into office who we want to lead our Country and it isn’t ‘the deep state’ whether it’s on the ‘7th floor’ or in Hillary’s bathroom...

You people out there that are involved in trying to ‘overthrow’ this government better sit up and take notice, We the AMERICAN PEOPLE will not put up with it...you had your chances, you lost, and this George Soros idiot needs to be removed, how ever he can be removed...

WE SUPPORT DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND NO ONE ELSE!!!... got it???

Trump is working on his agenda, The peoples agenda.

Trump continues to give them whiplash.

Again, Trump and hire and FIRE whoever, whenever he wants. WE DO NOT CARE.

FLYNN was never many of our first choice. We do not care.

No coup? Tell that to GOP senators McCain, Graham and Blunt, who want hearings, Watergate II, followed by impeachment. That seems to be the plan

Waste of ink and paper.>>> not really it will produce tomorrows news cycle and is further #fakenews that trump is out of control. It’s the only card they have and they are playing it daily.
