High-level advisers close to then-presidential nominee Donald Trump were in constant communication during the campaign with Russians known to US intelligence, multiple current and former intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials tell CNN.

President-elect Trump and then-President Barack Obama were both briefed on details of the extensive communications between suspected Russian operatives and people associated with the Trump campaign and the Trump business, according to US officials familiar with the matter.

Both the frequency of the communications during early summer and the proximity to Trump of those involved "raised a red flag" with US intelligence and law enforcement, according to these officials. The communications were intercepted during routine intelligence collection targeting Russian officials and other Russian nationals known to US intelligence.

HOW does CNN know this?? More FISA Warrant violations?

As a talking head said on Bloomberg today, "The goal is to REMOVE TRUMP. Failing that, to change the way he is running things..."

THE COUP HAS STARTED.

Polygraph tests for everyone in National Security who would have access to that information. EVERYONE.

The Left will stop at NOTHING to regain control over this country.

I hope the anti Globalist don’t cower if they succeed. That should mark the beginning of another civil war

[ConservativeMind]

Let them talk. Trump is no Commie.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Show me the evidence or shut up. Better yet, prove what you’ve said or resign from the intelligence community. We already have CNN if we want fake news.

This is an old story about how the FBI during the Obama Administration wanted FISA to issue warrants for wire taps, but was denied. Seems the NYT has republished the report which CNN and others will pickup as NEWS. Here is the FISA report: Denied FISA warrant

[Professional]

So Obama used the NSA CIA FBI SS to spy on the trump campaign? Isn’t that in essence what is reported here? Is that legal?

[QuigleyDU]

And the key here is they were briefed meaning there was nothing to it. Just piling on the Flynn story.

[Uncle Miltie]

CNN and NYT were both breifed simultaneously by the Black Hats.

“The communications were intercepted during routine intelligence collection targeting Russian officials and other Russian nationals known to US intelligence”

Bullshit. Funny how Hillary was never intercepted. The intelligence community including the FBI was targeting Trump personnel.

[nwrep]

Listening to Russians has always been legal...

[piasa]

“suspected Russian operative” = Russian Ambassador

[Lopeover]

Fake News!

[Williams]

People “associated with” Trump or his campaign. OK. This “Russia decided the election” stuff is ridiculous. How? By talking to the Trump campaign? Mexico interfered 1000 times as much openly working for Hilary.

Fake News

[Just mythoughts]

There are more than a few congress critters that get the same intel briefings... I would require every ‘staffer’ and congress critter polygraphed as well. Congress is a leaking sieve.

[McGruff]

...according to US officials familiar with the matter...

McCain’s been a busy boy lately.

[Williams]

Right, you gonna tell me Hilary wasn’t communicating with the Mexicans and Europeans attacking Trump? I know EXACTLY who decided the election and I see him in the mirror every morning.

Deep State war on Trump
