US counterintelligence task force established by the CIA Director John Brennan in 2016 to investigate a recording was apparently passed by “one of the Baltic States” alleging Russian funding of President-elect Donald Trump's presidential campaign… The task force included the FBI, the Treasury and Justice Departments, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the National Security Agency (NSA), “SNIPP”

A “dossier” created by an opposition research project funded by anti-Trump Republicans teamed with Clinton Democrats circulated by Sen. John McCain of Arizona Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada and later presented by the intelligence community, to Trump, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, top lawmakers on intelligence matters, known as the "gang of eight, CNN and NBC last week.

But they didn’t investigate the old Nazi, Georie Soros’ funding of the Clintoonie campaign? Somebody wasn’t doing their job. I can’t believe they never investigate the Clintoonie pay to play scheme with the Clintoon Foundation.

The CIA basically IS the US government.

They are offended that the guy elected by the people expects to have some sort of role for the next four years.

This just shows the lengths that the Uniparty was willing to go to stop the citizens from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.

It seems we should be accusing our own government of meddling in our elections. That is much worse than the fake Russians hacking the DNC. Feels like treason to me.

It was set up after the director of the CIA, John Brennan, received a recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into Trump's campaign coffers, the BBC's Paul Wood reported. The recording was apparently passed to the CIA by the intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States.

More Lies and BS. I hope they put Brennan in prison for this crap. And the entire "intelligence community" needs disinfecting.

So, after all of that work, all they have to show for it is a fake report put together by 4chan and some former MI6 crazy dude who notes everything from fake travel to fake bed wetting?

As a fellow FReeper has shown, the CIA was made by an Executive Order, and it can be undone by one.

Undo the CIA, President Trump!

That would explain why Trump was spending money like a drunken sailor throughout the campaign. /s

Why in hell would the Russians prefer a strong-on-defense team like Trump-Pence over a very weak HR Clinton administration? It was Obama-Hillary who gave away the store to Putin on all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal. This while they systematically took apart OUR military. Putin’s aim is to basically ring back the Soviet Union. The last thing he needs or wants now is a strong American military.

I think that is inevitable and will happen. I believe we will see a lot of changes throughout the whole government complex.

That is what I have prayed, wished and looked for, for the past 30 years.

This dossier is a compilation of various reports, and a rewrite of an old report produced in 2012 that was the result of investigations into possible Russian funding of Hillary Clinton’s campaign during the Clinton/Obama DNC nomination process. Obama won, so he didn’t have to use it against Hillary.

The newest part of the dossier is the Russian Hookers part, and that was a prank on Wilson by a 4CHAN user.

Based on 4Chan posts and a dodgy, former MI6 agent doing ‘oppo research’?

And, of course, no investigation into Saudi Arabian influence on Hillary Clinton’s activities.
