FBI probe into Trump and Russia was codenamed 'Crossfire Hurricane'
The Hill ^ | 5/16/2018 | Josh Delk

The FBI investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia was originally known as "Crossfire Hurricane" before it was widely known to the public and even the bureau itself, officials told The New York Times.

The case, named after a Rolling Stones lyric, was used by only the small group of agents sent to interview the Australian ambassador to the United Kingdom, who had evidence of possible collusion between Russia and a Trump adviser.

Five agents embarked to London in the summer of 2016 for a rare interview with the diplomat after deliberations between American and Australian officials, where they gathered information that would provide the basis for the Russia probe that is still ongoing.

The Times previously reported that a young foreign policy aide on the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos, revealed he knew of hacked Democratic Party emails to Australian Ambassador Alexander Downer over late-night drinks in London.

Downer reportedly notified U.S. intelligence officials of his run-in with Papadopoulos after the emails, which contained damaging information about 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton just as the aide had said, began to leak to the public.

We've been calling it simply "The Storm". And there is more to it than meets the eye. You must have an ongoing investigation in order to introduce additional evidence.

Five FBI agents were traitors, spying on a presidential campaign.

So much for the bullstalin lie that the investigation has only been going on for 1 year, entering its second year. We are entering the THIRD year and no meat yet.

Meanwhile Hitlery Rotten Clinton was forgiven of her crimes because TOO BIG TO FAIL! #NowIsTheTime #ImWithHertlery #Etc

Today a judge ordered the Weiner search warrant unsealed. It was sealed in Sept 2016. This could be interesting.

Make absolutely NO MISTAKE, today’s NY Times story on #CrossfireHurricane is a timed leak through the NY Times propaganda machine to head off the damaging information about to come out in the IG report. The NY Times is a disgrace, no better than Pravda.

check out how it’s being reported by ABC Australia (taxpayer-funded to the tune of more than $1 billion Australian a year). check all the anti-Trump stories on the page.

the Govt can’t/won’t tell them to stop this hatred for an ally. members of the public complain, but nothing changes. no program on their many TV and radio stations is safe from ABC’s Trump Derangement Syndrome, whether it’s comedy, religion or news and current affairs.

Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here’s a chance to change your mind
Cuz I’ll be gone a long, long time
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know. Oh no. Oh no
