London ‘bridges’ falling down: curious origins of FBI’s Trump-Russia probe
The Hill ^ | 6/1/2018 | John Solomon

Posted on 06/01/2018 10:02:44 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The bridge to the Russia investigation wasn’t erected in Moscow during the summer of the 2016 election.

It originated earlier, 1,700 miles away in London, where foreign figures contacted Trump campaign advisers and provided the FBI with hearsay allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, bureau documents and interviews of government insiders reveal. These contacts in spring 2016 — some from trusted intelligence sources, others from Hillary Clinton supporters — occurred well before FBI headquarters authorized an official counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016.

The new timeline makes one wonder: Did the FBI follow its rules governing informants?

“The Downer meeting with Pappadopolous has never been explained.”

But it has, he was supposedly introduced to Papadopolus by the Mysterious Blond. A typical ‘Spycraft’ set-up.

“The Five Eyes connection is the clue (GCHQ and Downer’s Aussie intel):”

Remember Trump used CovFeFe ??

I read somewhere that meant Covert Five Eyes, Five Eyes.
Trump put that out there on Twitter for about 24 hours, right? And then when the goofy “did you hear Mandy or Lauri” thing, Trump said “I heard CovFeFe”.

Trump doesn’t make mistakes like that. That CovFeFe was a clue to be used later. I do not see the reference to Five Eyes but who else can say Covert Five Eyes but Trump?

what say anyone else?

More like the CEILING crashing down on leftist democrats who dont believe in America - just in their own power.

Treason Twins (hillary and obama) need investigating, prosecution and punishment for significant crimes against the people of America.

When does the death penalty apply to high treason ?

Criminals have crime ‘hierarchies’. Any agent willing to attempt to overthrow a duly elected President would not have a problem breaking lessor laws.

Also it's unlikely Brennan, Clapper, Comey et al started off at a level where they thought it was within their rights to nullify the votes of millions of Americans.

If you catch a person taking a hundred thousand dollar bribe, you know this: that person has been taking bribes for a long time. No one starts ‘at the top’... incremental degradation of the soul... corruption's a gradual process.

A man who's unfaithful to his wife the first time sweats it for months ... the 50th time he doesn't give being unfaithful a second thought. This is the same. There's a process to corruption. That applies to Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and random FBI agents. People aren't born dirty... either are law enforcement folks. It's a process.

Yes. These are career criminals masquerading as civil servants.

The State Department IS the CIA. Together, they set this up.
Brennan ran it, but do not underestimate the guy. He made durn sure to keep certain people in the loop “enough” to cover his ass. Somewhat.

That is why Gowdy is doing backflips to put the kibosh on it now. Rubio and others were in the loop enough that if (when) Brennan goes down, he’ll take them with him. Burr, Cotton, Rubio, probably Mitch, Ryan, and 2 dozen dems. They are going bonkers in private, you betcha.

Btw, any update from Nunes? Him, Meadows, DeSantis, Jordan, and a few other patriots are still uncompromised, and it’s now them against the world. We need Nunes etc. to see the original unredated documents.

My guess is Ryan is no longer backing them. Just a hunch.

Probably not just the UK. I’d be taking a look at Canada, Australia, and Italy. And if any of them were involved, my bet is Germany and EU higher ups in Brussels were either in the know, or in on it.

Sounds to me like DOJ/FBI/CIA may be throwing Obama under the bus and/or trotting out the Nuremberg Defense.

The EU’s involvement was about preventing Brexit, tariffs, repatriation and tax cuts...

That Gowdy was turned so effectively is remarkable - and scary.
