Washington (CNN)The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.
This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, according to one source.
The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.
In his statement on Monday Comey said the FBI began looking into possible coordination between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives because the bureau had gathered "a credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."
The White House did not comment and the FBI declined to comment.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer maintained Monday after Comey's testimony that there was no evidence to suggest any collusion took place.
"Investigating it and having proof of it are two different things," Spicer said.
One law enforcement official said the information in hand suggests "people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready." But other U.S. officials who spoke to CNN say it's premature to draw that inference from the information gathered so far since it's largely circumstantial.

There’s no story here. More anonymous source suggest, something may have happen and the end by saying its circumstantial, which means there’s ZERO evidence
A little bit of clarity or truth comes out and they go ape shxx. I think there’s a huge cover up going on. Some really bad things were done and it wasn’t by the Trump campaign.
This is exactly what that is-—an attempt to distract from Nunes.
Hope you are enjoying CNN on Free Republic as much as I am!
Hey! “Info” is suggesting! That must mean, um, well, let me think ...
So, IOW, Obama was surveilling the Trump Organization and people affiliated with the Obama administration did violate federal laws regarding the divulging and publushing of information obtained through said surveillance.
Sounds like CNN is trying to fill in the gaps with a lot of supposition.
More of the same, regardless of the lack of substance — but hey, they think they have a good narrative and they are sticking with it.
If it doesn’t work, they can try reigniting ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’.
Assange said on national TV nope to that; he got it somewhere else. So Stone runs Russian hackers too LoL.
They are talking about Roger Stones tweet that he welcomed the Podesta leaks from Assange.
Podesta used a simpleton password on a personal email account. And the Moron clicked on some phishing bait that he swallowed.
There is simply no question anymore. Hillary must have promised these “journos” a freaking FORTUNE!
Comey’s thin cover running tom foolery investigations is going to wear out...
So, let me get this straight. Russia wants to help defeat Hillary but they need the Trump campaign’s okay to release information?
I heard that McCain now thinks that Congress doesn’t have the credibility to handle the investigation. I don’t think anybody, no select committee, no independent committee has the credibility to handle it because it’s all political bs.
I heard Prokupecz and the others speaking on CNN. He was a dysfunctional illiterate. Sounded like he was drunk and all over the place.
I’m waiting for the real dissection/vivisection of this CNN show to begin. There will be leftist blood all over the floor and the fake media.
Gonna get some popcorn and enjoy the bloodbath.
This is all total BS, but it is dangerous none the less. Carter Page wasn’t even part of the Trump campaign. Hillary’s stooges had far more dealings with the Russians than Manafort, and it’s been established that the Russians are much too clever to leave obvious traces when they hack. So, what CNN is saying is total BS. This sh!t is getting scary when you look at where the Western world his headed. Illegal immigrants have more rights than US citizens and the EU stating they can make European countries accept more ME refugees, even with all the rapes, riots and terrorist attacks happening more and more frequently. Our civilization is being invaded, and we are letting it happen through our own fear and inability to speak up and act up. Who is funding this? Who is behind this? Who is acceding to the destruction of their own nations and what do they have to gain? Can we forget the fact that Hillary had Top Secret (at least) information on her server, with Obama’s approval, which we know because he contacted her on it, and all the information in the server was laid out for any enemy intelligence to access, like an hor’doeurve?
See all different theories out there. I read that Carter Page and Paul Manafort or one of the two (can’t exactly remember) made a deal with Russia to drop the plank about Ukraine in the platform at the convention in exchange for releasing the emails.
Take away from Nunes revelation is that there is a whistleblower(s).
“CNN coordinated with the DNC to interfere in a federal (presidential) election.
After that election they continue to coordinate to interfere with the peaceful transition of power of the new president by promoting a false narrative of “Russian interference”. The only hostile communist leaning organization subversively operating in this country is CNN and other left wing news and social justice organizations.”
Spot on. The leftist press are in for a pound. They’re all guilty of TREASON. Their BS rhetoric is way over the top. Dog whistles for assassination. If anything happens, they will be the first to be dealt with.
