Top British spy officials are resisting a push by Republicans to declassify FBI documents related to the Russia investigation, according to a Telegraph report.
Officials with MI6, Britain’s equivalent to the CIA, have warned the Trump White House that releasing the documents could hinder intelligence gathering operations, The Telegraph reported.
Trump said he is “very seriously” declassifying a slew of FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) documents that would shed light on the origins of the FBI’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
The MI6 opposition also raises the possibility that British officials are concerned the sought-after documents contain information that could be embarrassing to the British government.
The Russia investigation has several links to the U.K.
Former MI6 officer Christopher Steele is one of the main sources of allegations of collusion between the campaign and Kremlin. And Stefan Halper, a longtime FBI and CIA informant, met with former Trump campaign aides Carter Page and George Papadopoulos during the campaign.
A meeting that served as the catalyst for the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign also occurred on British soil. The FBI opened the probe on July 31, 2016, after the Australian government reported details of a meeting between Papadopoulos and Australian diplomat Alexander Downer.
Downer claimed Papadopoulos said in their May 10, 2016, conversation that Russia had derogatory information on Hillary Clinton.

If you were in the tank with the Clintons and DNC to influence the results of the election would you want the possible diplomatic blowback?
If MI6 is involved, the CIA is involved.
Someone seriously doesn’t want anyone looking further into this.
If true, not a good thing since Trump is POTUS.
And real collusion.
TRANSLATION: The US “intelligence community” asked MI6 to spy on Trump for them and MI6 obliged, now they don’t want their criminal activity exposed.
One would have to be quite dull not to realize these are the simple facts of the matter.
You’ve hit the proverbial nail on the head. Massive treason committed by our intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
Of course it shows England was involved, and they are not the only foreign country either. Think Canada & Australia.
It may be Trump has been told he, or one of his children, will get the Kennedy treatment if he releases the documents. What other reason would there be for not ordering their release?
Trump should call up Teressa May and give her a chance to come out on her own and expose her MI6 turds, then he should “let it fly!” Britainistan is no longer a friend, along with Frogsomalia and Krauterstan.
Democrats proper, the DNC, love to accuse others of what they themselves are doing. Even as they circle the proverbial wagons around each other.
the other reason could be DJT’s sense of leverage and timing
They all thought she was going to win. They did the former occupant of the White House a favor because they all thought she was going to win.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to find out that it was a personal, official and classified request from the former occupant of the White House. I bet the last occupant of the White House, being the coward that he is, is doing anything and everything he can to stop this from happening.
The President has to be chomping at the bit to let this out. And it makes sense, given what he just said about never being able to forgive the last occupant of the White House. He knows what happened.
Let it out, Mr President. And while you’re at it, get the documentation on the $17 million that the taxpayers paid to protect Congress from sexual harassment claims.
Trump could easily redact any sensitive names.
The Brits are potentially concerned about the technique of feeding bad information to folks [dupes] like Papadopoulos and Carter Page and tracing the information should their “marks” relay the info.
Or else, the US intel agys told the Brits to put up a stink. Or both.
As if these methods are a secret.
This treachery and British complicity need to be publicly exposed with names (and pictures).
Trials and convictions need to occur, and carrying out of the sentences must be done publicly.
Different agencies helping each other out by spying on the other’s citizens seems like the way they get around laws against them spying on their own.
it has never bee about Russia manipulation of the election. it was always about British manipulation.
Trump needs to declassify this and address the nation on national tv.
Allinski.
I’m surprised to see this article in print as nothing, IMO, is printed about corruption at this level without approval from someone even more powerful. DJT already knows too much. I’d advise him to hire a food tester.
