What Are the FBI and CIA Hiding?

Did the Central Intelligence Agency lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation down a rabbit hole in the counterintelligence investigation of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign?

Although the FBI’s case officially began July 31, 2016, there had been investigative activity before that date. John Brennan’s CIA might have directed activity in Britain, which could be a problem because of longstanding agreements that the U.S. will not conduct intelligence operations there. It would explain why the FBI continues to stonewall Congress as to the inquiry’s origin.

Further, what we know about the case’s origin does not meet the threshold required by the attorney general guidelines for opening a counterintelligence case. That standard requires “predicate information,” or “articulable facts.”

They are hiding 40 years of covering up mistakes they have made.

Right, and for that reason we will NEVER know everything going on with this latest fiasco.

Sandy Burglar was neither the first nor will he be the last to make archival records disappear.

They think because we don’t post on FB or retaliate in vulgar tweets, that we don’t know what’s going on.

Who is "they"? Your Senators and Congressmen? I wrote my lefty congressman 18 months ago, before the Steve Scalise shooting, telling him I was afraid for the violence on the left, "is everything Trump does going to be a march and fight", I asked?

He wrote back mocking me that I was a Trump supporter, but stayed positive saying he is willing to work with the POTUS on infrastructure and immigration. I have been seething with anger about the spying and our outright fourth amendment violations Obama and his intellegence agencies have inflicted in the last 8 years going into the 2016 elections. Since the Patriot act I have only used a plane twice for funerals. I quite flying so I could not have my rights violated by my government, you can imagine how pissed I am at the "spying" in a Presidential campaign, haven't written to my Congressman DeFazio about it, afraid to be put on a list to spy.

That prompted Robert Hannigan, then head of Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters,

Great details, didn't Hannigan equivalent to our CIA Director, resign from office a day after Trump was elected?
