As I will explain, the widespread notion that Russia and Trump colluded to beat Hillary has long been demonstrable bunk. What seems more clear each day is that there was collusion between certain members of the U.S. and British intelligence communities to spy on the Trump campaign. This may explain, in large part, the reluctance of the Department of Justice to reveal what it knows publicly. After all -- with rare exceptions -- the two countries’ intelligence services have long had important information gathering and sharing agreements, and exposure of this may harm the traditional reciprocal relationship.
Whether the British counterparts were hoodwinked into playing this role is still unclear. Maybe they were. On the other hand, with most of what they know about the U.S. electorate doubtless coming from the NYT and even more left-wing British media, they may well have done this willingly, believing the globalist Hillary had a sure shot at the presidency and this was a means of cementing a relationship with her.
Key Developments This Week
Congressman Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has been stonewalled by the Department of Justice respecting the details of the originating Electronic Communication (EC) on July 31, 2016, which formed the basis of the commencement of the FBI counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. In particular, he wanted to know the identity of the person whose name had been redacted on what has been described as an FBI/DOJ source “a U.S. Citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI”. The DOJ replied that revealing the source “might damage international relationships.” Failing to get a response, Nunes threatened to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress and the DoJ offered a private meeting.

If this is true we need to know it before President Trump’s visit to Britain where he will not be safe.
It made the paper that the head of British Intelligence resigned once the scandal was revealed.
Frightening possibility.
Bottom line, she fingers Halper as the “FBI source” Kimberley Strassel has been writing about.
Not just the UK, I’ll bet. I’d also be looking at Canada, Italy, Germany, and France...
Hillary once bragged that she, alone, was brought into Putin's inner sanctum
where she assured Putin she was worried about wildlife like he was.
Putin whispered to an attentive Hilary that they were BFF.
Secy Hillary and Obama were eager to please Russia w/ the friendly reset button.
Hillary later said the reset gambit was Obama's and her idea "to strengthen Russia."
==============================================
Ex-Pres Clinton is s-o-o-o-o friendly he traveled to Russia to clinch the uranium giveaway deal.
And to pocket a $500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank plus a sizeable commission.
Billybooboo even laid his "Hot Damn Hokey Hillbilly Act" on Putin.
I’m not sure there’s any basis for being perfectly fine with British collusion and Russian collusion is treason.
No need to ask Obama and Clinton about their Russian connections-——the paper trail is long and wide.
HILLARY’S STATE DEPT——AND THE OBAMA YEARS-—UNRELENTING SCANDAL / By Ari Lieberman
EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joi nt projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”
Hillary’s State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends. According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”
Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.” (hat tip frontpagemagazine.com)

OPINION Ukraine Tried to Tip the Election in Clinton’s Favor
Evidence reveals that Ukraine intervened to tilt the election in favor of its national interests
By Michael Sainato • 01/12/17
Politico reported that the Ukrainian Government worked to aid Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections. The actions taken by government officials included disseminating “documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”
Those documents implicated Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who worked as an adviser for now-ousted Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych. However, the concerns that the documents raised weren’t in fact over any quasi-Russian ties, though partisan reporting pushed his narrative. Rather, the documents raised the question of whether Manafort declared the income that he had received from the position. The Podesta Group, a lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, also conducted work for Yanukovych.
However, the Manafort narrative not only painted Trump as pro-Russian, but also provided the Clinton campaign with a smear campaign while reaffirming its stance against Russia. It was in Ukraine’s best interest to tilt the election in support of Clinton, who strongly advocated for providing Ukraine with military aid and financial support in order to fight Russian separatists in the country.
Politico noted that Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American working as a consultant for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), met with top Ukrainian Officials in Washington D.C. about forcing Manafort’s resignation in order to perpetuate the narrative that Trump is connected to Russia. Both Chalupa and her sister Andrea have strongly pushed the anti-Russian narrative on social media, in addition to advocating that the electors of the electoral college defect from Trump. The report added, “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s elections.”
In addition to the Chalupas, the co-founder and CTO of Crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that the DNC hired to investigate the alleged hacks, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, which is an openly anti-Russian organization partly . The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who also happens to be one of the most prolific donors to the Clinton Foundation. The DNC denied multiple requests from the FBI to access their servers, effectively forcing the FBI to rely on CrowdStrike’s assessment of the hacks.
The Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a military conflict between with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta. In 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Atlantic Council hosted one of several events with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was removed in early 2014. In August, Politico reported that Donald Trump’s favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning Ukraine. The article stated, “Russia wants Trump for U.S. president; Ukraine is terrified by Trump and prefers Hillary Clinton.”
In response to their preferred candidate losing the election, Ukrainian officials are now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko recently signed a $50,000-a-month contract with a lobbying firm to set up meetings with U.S. officials in the new administration. Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk wrote an op-ed on December 29 in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued that Ukraine needs make compromises to establish peace with Russia. After the election, reports surfaced that Pinchuk donated to Trump’s charity to try to gain the same favor and access that his donations to the Clinton Foundation afforded him. “The sole reason the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has reached out to President-elect Trump—as well as other world leaders—has been to promote strengthened and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West,” a spokeswoman for the Pinchuk foundation told ABC News.
While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the U.S. and Russia, it appears that the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. faced similar influence from two foreign countries attempting to influence an election outcome preferable to their own national interests.
Clarice doesn’t ever go off the deep end, she’s a smart lady and her insights into this are right on in my view.
Clarice Bump!
Actually, I think it was mainly the Brits who were involved in this. They have a long tradition of left-wing infiltration (or outright membership in) their security services. Think Kim Philby and the gang.
It made the paper that the head of British Intelligence resigned once the scandal was revealed.
So basically we had the MSM-Democrats colluding with left-wing governments in other countries to prevent Americans from getting the president they wanted.
On September 11, 2016 he met with a senior Trump official
I thought this was on September 1, not September 11? Halper was trying to get hired into the Trump campaign as a mole and was rebuffed. I think this Trump official who wisely rebuffed him was probably Steve Bannon; some speculate it was Jason Miller.
Halper's plan B was to cozy up to Papadop and first made contact with him by email on September 2.
Halper (a Never-Trump Bush Republican) certainly seems to have had a role in the cabal, but he was certainly not the mastermind.
This was a very clever plot. It featured sophisticated psychological techniques.
One clever aspect was the way the dossier was fed to journalists as background info during the election but not directly reported as news. The journalists were made to feel they had gained secret, forbidden knowledge and were a peripheral part of a secret agent operation, which likely had the effect of psychologically reinforcing their propensity to credit the information.
Certainly during the election the media came to actually despise Donald Trump, something they never did in his long career in the public eye and even past presidential runs.
Part of it surely was that Trump wanted to forestall the huge tide of third world and muslim immigration that was producing a demographic transformation on a scale never before seen, and Trump wanted to reverse the de-industrialization of our heartland caused by anti-American trade deals entered into by the globalists. Trump's initiatives strongly benefited flyover Americans, and we know the national media hates flyover Americans the way Hutus hate Tutsis.
But that doesn't explain the personal disgust that was so obvious in the way the national media reported on Trump.
I think the national media bought the phony Steele dossier hook, line and sinker.
The mastermind of all this was probably somewhere in the CIA or MI6.
the widespread notion that Russia and Trump colluded to beat Hillary has long been demonstrable bunk. What seems more clear each day is that there was collusion between certain members of the U.S. and British intelligence communities to spy on the Trump campaign. This may explain, in large part, the reluctance of the Department of Justice to reveal what it knows publicly.
Thanks upchuck.
British collusion to take down a duly elected American President is treason. Treason has to do with the crime - not with the political stance of the country involved.
I am sorry but it was much broader international collusion.
One of the reasons Britain’s involvement in political spying must be fully exposed is precisely so that future intelligence leaders in other countries will be smart enough to steer clear of such foolishness when the temptation arises...
All must recognize the difference between legitimate collaborative intelligence work vs. unbridled, corrupt, political spying within the democracies in elections; and all must fear that if they secretly do engage, they will eventually be exposed for having done so.
Honest people can recognize the difference between legitimate and illegitimate spying.
