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.

cucks fail to recognize Trump thrives on opposition.

He is loving this game, and he wont lose to the MSM.

They don’t know how close they are to total irrelevance, or worse imprisonment.

Trump is liberal in giving them plenty of rope.

Did everyone forget about the three Muslim brothers who were IT guys for Democrats that were found accessing computers without authorization? Never made the news but Fox Business called it out last week. Haven’t heard anymore about it.

I have to wonder if they were discussing Hillary's Russian/Uranium Deal, or the multimillion's in cash funneled to the Clinton's from Russia?

Let me guess... restaurant managers at various Trump properties around the world talk to caviar and vodka salesmen in Russia to re-order restaurant supplies... like they’ve done for years.

PRESIDENT Trump needs to go into each one of these “Intelligence communities” and fire every one of them hired by Bonzo.

Can Trump order an RIF (Reduction in Force) for the intelligence agencies. Too big, too many bureaucrat lifers. Leave the real spies and get rid of the desk jockeys.

who is leaking this stuff. The NSA, the CIA or the FBI. They need to be caught

"according to four current and former American officials.",

    Possibilities include:
  1. James Clapper (former Director of National Intelligence; Obama appointee)
  2. John Brennan (former director of CIA; Obama appointee)
  3. Sally Yates (former Deputy AG at DOJ; Obama appointee)
  4. Michael Rogers (current director of the National Security Agency; Obama appointee)

Just saw this reported on the local news. Grave comments from McCain Ryan Corker and Il Rep Adam Kinzinger alleged conservative who used the Tea Party to win his first election and went promptly left. If Republicans establishment types are coming forward this could move along quickly. We voted against establishment politicians. Knew they wouldn’t go down easily. The report ended with some throw out red meat about new information that several people in the Trump campaign were in touch with Russian officials back in the summer. This needs a hard push back NOW.

Yep. McCain, McMullin, Romney... Trump will go “too far” and have to be impeached. He’s going to have a hard time outflanking the Commies and the Deep State. Things are going to be quite rough.

The Senate already has an antiTrump majority. 48 Dems and a number of antiTrump Republicans.

“WHAT DID TRUMP KNOW AND WHEN DID TRUMP KNOW IT.”

The Dems have already said that at least once.
