Getting excited here in a GOOD WAY!
I wrote on the thread about Obamas being invited to Prince Harry’s wedding that it was a case of the Royals running cover for Obama’s collusion with Brit intel to interfere in the US presidential election. Robert Hannigan is key.
still have not been able to confirm Hannigan was at NSA Ft Meade, as a TruePundit article claimed, but he was at the Aspen Security Forum in Jul 2017:
22 Jul 2017: Youtube: Aspen Institute: Mission…Possible!
The Commander of US Cyber Command and Director of the National Security Agency has never been busier with the perennial intelligence task of trying to distinguish the signal from the noise. Adding to the challenge are cyber threats from nation states and non-state actors that are unprecedented in their scale and sophistication. Fortunately, he has help from across the pond from the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters. Admiral Rogers and former Director Hannigan explain how they go about accomplishing their mission impossible.

remember Hannigan resigned 3 days after Trump’s inauguration, to spend time with his family:
23 Jan 2017: BBC: GCHQ director Robert Hannigan resigns
Robert Hannigan, who has held the post of GCHQ director since 2014, said he was stepping down for family reasons.
He said he was proud of his work but that 20 years in public service roles had “demanded a great deal of my ever patient and understanding family”...
Mr Hannigan said it was “right” that a new director be in place ready for GCHQ’s 100th anniversary in 2019, but he would stay in the post until a replacement was appointed...

seems Hannigan took up plenty of work post-GCHQ:
Wikipedia: Robert Hannigan
In July 2017 Hannigan blamed Russia for causing a “disproportionate amount of mayhem in cyberspace”, identifying state-linked crime as a major problem...
Asked at the 2017 Aspen Security Forum what had changed in Russian cyber behaviour, Hannigan referred to the “brazen recklessness” of Russian agencies who scarcely tried to hide their activity. In December 2017 he joined General Lord Houghton in drawing attention to Russian threats to undersea internet cables, endorsing a report by Rishi Sunak MP for the Policy Exchange thinktank...
...his Christmas card puzzle in 2015 inspired some 600,000 attempts worldwide to solve it. This led to the publication of The GCHQ Puzzle Book in 2016, with Forewords by the Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William’s wife) and Hannigan. It became a Christmas bestseller, and by April 2017 had raised £240k for the Heads Together mental health charities...
In February 2017, Hannigan was appointed to the UK Government’s new Defence Innovation Advisory Panel, along with McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis and astronaut Tim Peake...

VIDEO: GCHQ and NSA Directors Meet at Bletchley Park
Please click to view a three-minute video clip of this historic visit (VIDEO REMOVED)
In early 2016, the Directors of the US and UK’s signals intelligence services met at Bletchley Park to mark the 75th anniversary of the meeting which began the Special Relationship, in the very room where it took place.
Admiral Michael S Rogers, Director of the NSA, joined GCHQ Director Robert Hannigan to tell the story of how a late night sharing of secrets over sherry began the Special Relationship which remains crucial to both nations today...(LINKS TO FULL BLETCHLEY PARK ARTICLE, WHICH HAS BEEN REMOVED)
During the celebrations, Bletchley Park also received a visit from NSA Historian, Dr. David A Hatch, and GCHQ Historian, Tony Comer. They discussed the importance of the UK-USA Special Relationship.
Dr. Hatch said, “It was unprecedented. Two countries opening up and sharing secrets with each other. That meeting was the seed for this relationship which has helped keep both sides safe. It had a profound effect on the war and on the peace afterwards.”
The celebratory event is also covered, and the color photographs reproduced along with a copy of a post-war congratulatory letter from General Eisenhower to MI-6 Chief Stewart Menzies [1939-52], in Issue #6 of the Bletchley Park Magazine, a copy of which can be viewed at the NCM library.
