Report: NSA Ready to Share Intel on Trump Wiretap With Congress, But DNI Blocking Efforts

It is being reported that the NSA is ready to share the intelligence they have on the surveillance of Trump and his team with Congress, but the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is blocking efforts.

The National Security Agency is ready to distribute intelligence documents related to intelligence intercepts of Trump transition team associates, but the Director of National Intelligence is blocking such an effort for now, Fox News reports.

A spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence disputed this report calling it “not correct.”

The DNC refused to allow the government to investigate. The DNC hired Crowdstrike, led by Dmitri Alperovitch. The government relied on Crowdstrike’s claims that Russia hacked the DNC email system.

Crowdstrike is closely associated with and heavily funded by Clinton colleague Timothy Geithner.

Alperovitch bases his claim partly on the claims of a Russian blogger. The blogger claims that Ukrainian military units were targeted via malware inserted onto Ukrainian tablet computers, the malware provided to Russia the location of Ukrainian troops. As “evidence” the blogger cites a 2016 International Institute for Strategic Studies report of a sharp reduction of Ukrainian D-30 howitzers between 2013 and 2015. Ukraine denies any large loss of D-30 howitzers. Alperovitch claims this same malware was used to breach the DNC email system. The malware has been available for years prior to the DNC breach.

Last week CrowdStrike retracted a key part of its report: “The company removed language that said Ukraine’s artillery lost 80 percent of the Soviet-era D-30 howitzers, which used aiming software that purportedly was hacked. Instead, the revised report cites figures of 15 to 20 percent losses in combat operations, attributing the figures to IISS.” Crowdstrike has also deleted a statement saying “deployment of this malware-infected application may have contributed to the high-loss nature of this platform”. - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3539028/posts

Another actor promoting the Russia narrative is Alexandra Chalupa, a long time Democrat operative and a Ukrainian activist. Chalupa worked in the White House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton administration. Chalupa went on to work as a staffer, then as a consultant, for the Democratic National Committee. She also worked with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. She is associated with US United with Ukraine Coalition. She organized the National Democratic Ethnic Coordinating Council (NDECC). She organized protests against Paul Manafort.

Alexandra’s daughter, Andrea Chalupa, also is a Ukrainian activist. She organized an online group called DigitalMaidan to promote protests in Ukraine. She also organized a “#TreasonousTrump” Twitter Storm. In October 2016, months prior to the “dossier” Andrea Chalupa was “tweeting” about a Trump “sex tape”. She has written for TIME, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, Forbes, and the Huffington Post.

Alexandra has another daughter, Irena Chalupa, who also is a Ukrainian activist. She is associated with the Central and East European Coalition (CEEC). CEEC issued a “Presidential Questionnaire” for US candidates. It asked questions such as: “As President, what would your strategy be to deal with Russian aggression in Ukraine”, “What is your position on the current sanctions against Russia?”, and “How do you view NATO’s role in countering Russian aggression?”. Their 2016 policy statements calls for US military assistance for Ukraine.

raw research on the Chalupas - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3532194/posts?page=20#20 to end of thread

There has been no independent investigation of the DNC’s e-mail system. Only Crowdstrike has been allowed to investigate the DNC’s system. The DHS-DNI joint report issued in October 2016 depends on the Crowdstrike report. Subsequent DHS-DNI reports reiterated the original report but with more emphatic language and no further “evidence”. Other cyber-security experts do not agree with Crowdstrike’s conclusions.

Crowdstrike is funded to the tune of $100,000,000 by Clinton colleague Timothy Geithner’s company, Warbug Pincus. With such a large sum at stake Crowdstrike’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

The Chalupa family are ardent Ukrainian nationalists pursuing their own agenda. One of them, Alexandra, is directly connected with the Clintons.

The Russia narrative centers on Clinton associates.

Another interesting tidbit is that Alperovitch is a fellow at the Atlantic Council. Irena Chalupa is a fellow at the Atlantic Council. Evelyn Farkas is a fellow at the Atlantic Council. Evelyn Farkas? Yes, Clinton campaign advisor Evelyn Farkas, the same Evelyn Farkas who admits to using intelligence for political purposes, who admits to leaking intelligence, who admits to a conspiracy to do the same, yes that Evelyn Farkas, is also a fellow at the Atlantic Council. - http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/about/experts

Regarding Alexandra Chalupa organizing protests against Paul Manafort...

Manafort’s “Russian connection” is that he consulted for Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovych. Some Ukrainians view Yanukovych as Putin’s puppet.

Tad Devine also consulted for Yanukovych. Who is Tad Devine? Devine was a top strategist for the presidential campaigns of Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, and for Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign.

Not a word is said about Devine, yet Manafort is attacked and protests against him are organized. Remember that Alexandra Chalupa is directly connected to the Clintons.

Then there’s this: In January 2016 — MONTHS BEFORE Manafort had taken any role in Trump’s campaign — Chalupa told a senior DNC official that, when it came to Trump’s campaign, “I felt there was a Russia connection,” Chalupa recalled.
