The US Intelligence Community asked foreign spy agencies to surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, which triggered the allegations that the former president’s campaign had been colluding with Russia, according to a report.
Former CIA Director John Brennan identified and presented the targets to the US’s intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called “Five Eyes” agencies – the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – according to a report published Monday on Michael Shellenberger’s Public Substack.
The report by independent journalists Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag has not been confirmed by The Post.
They cite multiple unnamed sources, including ones close to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
Turner’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The US intelligence community had “identified” the 26 Trump associates “as people to ‘bump,’ or make contact with or manipulate,” one source told the outlet.
In spy-speak, “bumping” is when a reason is manufactured to meet with a target of interest in order to develop a relationship that could lead to intelligence.
“They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation,” the source said.
Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters intelligence apparatus, or GCHQ, was making contacts with Trump’s associates as early as March 2016, according to the report.
“They were making contacts and bumping Trump people going back to March 2016,” a source told the outlet. “They were sending people around the UK, Australia, Italy — the Mossad in Italy. The MI6 was working at an intelligence school they had set up.”
A GCHQ spokesperson told the outlet that claims it was “asked to conduct ‘wire tapping’ against the then president-elect are nonsense.”

THis is an incredible story. Trump likely has the proof document on this which is why the deep state is going after him so hard.
Arrest, try, convict and hang the traitor Brennan.
Brennan is absolutely filthy
I believe Matt Taibbi.
He was a darling of the Left until he started exposing the shady stuff going on at Twitter.
They tried to destroy him.
He’s still standing.
Let me be the first to say Matt Taibbi did not kill himself.
Stay safe, Matt. Bring them all down.
” US’s intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called “Five Eyes” agencies – the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand “
Trump should pull the plug on this stupid. Five Eyes will collapse and die w/o the USA
This use of Five Eyes is what I have always maintained the 0bama Administration did.
I am now proven correct.
We have no laws against other countries spying on us. Five Eyes is a partnership to let “trusted” countries get access to everything possible in the US to perform all the searches that would be illegal for the CIA and FBI to perform. The FBI and CIA (Homeland Security) then get that information to abuse, as they wish.
Honestly, that may be called for.
The way these people interfered in the election process and
Trump’s first term in office, we’re talking a full tilt
espionage game against the sitting president of the United
States.
They were at war with our Executive Branch.
This is not small stakes here.
Were they only surveilling Trump, or were they illegally spying on other Republican candidates as well?
Mike Rogers may indeed be eventually regarded as a hero.
This was the second time the CIA overthrew the U.S. Government. Thank goodness, with Trump they didn’t take the easy, permanent route.
The corruption is so putrid it wreaks to high heaven.
Sundance has done extensive research on the 8 years running coup by the FED GOV SCUM TRAITORS in the IC and just about every other 3 letter agency in DC.
Shellenberger, Gutentag and Taibbi might appreciate what has already been uncovered and painstakingly laid out for those that are interested in Sundance’s work.
George Webb is another researcher that was far and away, out ahead with deep research and has some of the goods well laid out for consumption on the vast conspiracy that was executed against first- candidate and then President- Trump.
Throw in the collective research of the 4 Chan and 8 Chan Anons, in combination with the above work, and the traitors are all caught dead in the cross hairs... committing treason.
Add in the research done by Wiki Leaks, Epoch Times, Revolver News, Techno Fog, etc., just to name a few off the top of my head in the collective of researchers that red pilled anyone with an open mind.
Looks like our CIA thugs were no different then the old KGB thugs who cheated for the monsters who ran the USSR.
So much for the much vaunted ideals of a ‘democracy’...
I’m guessing they’re also the people who did the voter fraud - or protected those that did. Scum.
Scum... there’s never been a country on the fact of the earth run by ‘intelligence’ or ‘the military’ that wasn’t a hellhole.
.
I would like to take a guess and say that anyone and everyone in the swamp are spied on and blackmailed on an as needed basis.
How else can one explain the utter contempt and disregard displayed on a continuous basis by the powers that be towards we the people?
The CIA and the blatantly illegal 5 eyes concept must be utterly destroyed.
In aftermath of the 1958 French Army Putsch, several units were completely disbanded.
The record of the CIA is bad enough, they have trashed America’s reputation around the world. Add in assassinating JFK and now this. It’s finally time for them to be completely disbanded.
To this day, few seem to believe the U.S. government conducted multiple covert operations attempting to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump.
