MI6 chiefs are secretly battling Donald Trump to stop him publishing classified information linked to the Russian election meddling investigation.

The UK is warning that the US president would undermine intelligence gathering if he releases pages of an FBI application to wiretap one of his former campaign advisers.

However Trump allies are fighting back, demanding transparency and asking why Britain would oppose the move unless it had something to hide.

They don’t want us knowing that they sought to influence the US election.

I haven’t. Though I do tend to lump the Aussies in with the EU.

If Trump pushes send, he loses leverage.

The POTUS keeping his powder dry works for me. 😄

Yep....and END COMEY’S GAME of refusing to testify in a closed congressional hearing but in a public hearing “answering” questions by saying “I can only answer that classified question in a closed session.”

"The UK and Australia weren't merely "meddling," they were participants... they were integral political partners of the Democrat party and a cabal of Never-Trumpers. The magnitude of that is astounding. Money changed hands, laws were broken, the oh-so-precious "democracy" that the left squawks about was knowingly sabotaged and a road to hell was insured. "Meddling" indeed."

... well said, niteowl177.

There may be a lot more to this...the Russian government involved in a couple of murders in England for instance.

Mifsud was probably working for UK to set up Papadopolous by posing as a person with dirt on hitlery. Downer was the Australian tasked to pull down the trap when he met with Papadopolous.

The 5 eyes (UK, US, NZ, CA, Aus.) intel sharing allows the various governments to circumvent their own civil rights laws and spy on political and govenment opponents. They don’t want a change in the SQ. But, at this point, I don’t see why Trump owes them any favors and doesn’t release the info. With friend like this, who needs enemies.

I guess peddling fake dossiers makes them look bad.

——Was MI6 also meddling?-——

In the absence of definitive prooof........ no

Select individuals in the American FBI or CIA or DOJ recruited selecte individuals in MI6 to perform certain tasks out of school so to speak to remove American fingerprints.

Neither the “American Government” nor “MI 6” was officially involved

My thoughts on the matter

The western intelligence services are the enemy of the American people.

Any good work they do is erased by these attempts to control elections.

So far, MI6 appears to be winning. Let’s hope that changes—soon!

May I say: I have old, old friends from around 1972 .......... Segretti, Chapin and others...... and regular old baseball boys from Pittsburgh.

To say the least Roger Stone was one of "the guys" back then pulling off some funny tricks. Segretti was a nice guy, a somewhat messy little fellow, you could hardly see the floor of his VW bug except for the ketchup ...... he liked his fast food, yet never wanted to throw wrappings or cups out the window onto the roads or streets.

********

Dirty tricks and wise guys are often the most incredibly clean people you could imagine (the first real environmentalists)

****************

To sum this up ........ M16 has a long way to go to win.
