“People familiar with the matter,” “These people.”

Name a freaking source or cut out this crap.

“According to the people”
“Unnamed sources said”
“Sources who would not be named”

Oh, good God, we have such craven excuses for “media” in this country.

The sources emphasized that investigators remain keenly interested in people who previously wielded influence in the Trump campaign and administration but are no longer part of it, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

In other words were blowing smoke up your *** again !

They don’t know who it is but a half-eaten bowl of borscht was found in a WH common area so someone with access to the WH has Russian ties.

If there’s more to it, just think how embarrassing it will be if Mueller finds a significant Russian danger to our government in the WH - especially if it’s Trump himself. The FBI/NSA/ABCs have been looking hard and failed to find evidence in 10 months. The house and senate have been looking for many months. The media has pounced on every leak and followed up to the best of their abilities It would be time to scrap our “intelligence” agencies and shut down the related congressional committees and stop using terms like “investigative journalism”.

I just knew they would eventually find out that Kellyanne Conway drank a White Russian once while on spring break in her college days. Damn... its all over now.

And to make matters worse I have been told that the person in question (the ambassador) personally was appointed by and personally knows Putin. We are doomed, doomed I say.

Advance the narrative at all costs, at a daily pace now, because their collapse is getting closer.

Please, Trump, cancel the Amazon contracts now.

Yes, this use to be called a tip and they are to investigate it. Now they get a tip and run straight to the press. Journalism is dead.

If Robert Mueller were to find no wrong doing the Left would not be satisfied.

If a special prosecutor were to find no wrong doing the Left would not be satisfied.

If commissions, bi-partisan committes, and other congressional hearings were to find no wrong doing the Left would not be satisfied.

If the heavens were to open, and our our mighty creator make clear that there was no wrong doing the Left would not be satisfied. In fact, Chucky Schumer would probably demand an investigation into the apparent collusion between the Trump administration and our Lord!

The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter.

So, someone unidentified, according to someone...also unidentified...

Jared Garret just on Fox (he has a column up) explaining the relationship between Comey and Mueller. He said ethically Mueller must recluse himself because of their close relationship ( possibly trouble with Bar if he doesn’t)

Its the old double-negative trick... when an unreliable source quotes another unreliable source it becomes fact.

> What, supposedly happened during this “collusion” with Russia?

Bill took $$$$ from Russians on the promise that Hillary would do favors for Putin once elected president. The Ds are certain this collusion happened and assume republicans act like they do.

It’s like “dog whistles”, racism, sexism, etc. The Ds don’t accuse conservatives because they think conservatives are DIFFERENT from them. It’s because they think conservatives are the SAME as them and so must be doing those things. The D party is built around “dog whistles” and dividing people into groups by class, race, and sex. And while the media covers up those actions of democrats they will highlight it when an R is accused of the same things whether or not it’s true.

“People familiar with the investigation said the intensifying effort does not mean criminal charges are near, or that any such charges will result.”

This buried under in the story. The coup is in full push now. The full force of MSM on & the chief weapon is a story placed by an anonymous source referencing a memo the “reporter “ never saw. MSNBC has started to tear down Pence now. I don’t know if Trump knows how much danger he really is in. He’s wavering on some promises the Embassy, Paris Accord etc we are all he has, it is the wrong time to go wobbly. We need a hard nosed law man at the FBI and we’re going to get someone who supported HRC? Madness.

There is absolutely nothing in that article that is new.

They are just re-wording (with sinister adjectives) old information to give the implication that White House is under criminal investigation (it's not).

Goebbels would be proud.
