Deep State Confession: 2017 UK Article Indicates Obama’s Spygate Started in 2015 – Much Earlier than
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 27, 2018 | Jim Hoft

Another Internet sleuth (REX) put together some more pieces to Spygate over the weekend.  The sleuth’s analysis shows that Obama’s Spygate scandal started much earlier than expected and Deep State leaks support this claim.

On April 13, 2017, the far left Guardian posted an article about Trump and Russia collusion that began by making a couple now key assertions,

1)  British spies played a crucial role in the Trump – Russia conspiracy
2) Trump – Russia scandal began in at least 2015
3) The UK was involved
4) The UK and US worked together for the next six months
 

Via The Guardian:

Britain’s spy agencies played a crucial role in alerting their counterparts in Washington to contacts between members of Donald Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives, the Guardian has been told.

GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.

Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.

GCHQ is the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is an intelligence and security organisation in the UK.

[It’s unknown who in the Trump campaign was even remotely linked to Russia in 2015.  General Flynn visited Moscow in December 2015 but this was no reason to spy on President Trump.]

After noting that Germany, Poland, Estonia, Australia, the Dutch and the French were all involved in the scandal and passing information on to the [Obama Administration in the] US,

Can’t help thinking the same stuff was going on in 2012 and possibly 2008.

I would say it was, but the pace picked up hugely later.

Knowing bureaucrats and IT managers, I bet the records are still in the great database in the sky. It is very likely the could not remove them all.

So, today, Trump has all the power plus some.

Which means that there was no legitimate reason for it at all.

GCHQ’s Robert Hannigan, who resigned almost immediately after Trump’s inauguration, was awarded the US Intelligence Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2017, yet you can’t find it documented anywhere, except in Wikipedia and UK Who’s Who, which is not accessible, and on Hannigan’s own CV I gather, which I can’t be bothered locating just now.

he was always around to liaise with “others” in the US:

8 March 2016: MIT Technology Review: British Spy Agency Chief Says Tech Companies Should Provide a Way Around Encryption
Nonetheless, Hannigan—making just his second appearance in a public forum since taking the helm of GCHQ in 2014—said tech companies should work more closely with governments to try to come up with ways to give law enforcement what it wants...

some interesting names here, if you need to touch base with “others” about how to keep a lid on revelations - Bossert & Joyce left the Trump Admin:

So the power they gained ate them.

They should still stand trial and be judged and punished. They are not as smart as they thought they were. Technical expertise is not an indicator of wisdom and judgment.

England now has a totalitarian government that has chosen mudslimes over native born “subjects”. They are no longer our ally and are not to be trusted.

I believe that England is still an ally. I certainly want nothing to do with their laws.

I make no excuses for them coddling such evil vermin as those who traffic children.

Would an ally spy on a presidential candidate and try to help the Deep State interfere in our election? I think not.

Because some bureaucrats are criminals, does not make a nation an enemy.

There is no justification for what they did to Trump.

OK, let me revise my remarks. The government of England is no longer our ally.

Of course, a lot of OUR government is no longer OUR ally either.
