According to “one source”. Let me guess......ANONYMOUS?

Deep throat was anonymous too.

 

[Hunerwadel]

I've never been convinced that Trump might go down. But after the Manafort revelations and this I'm not so sure. These investigators are some of the best in the world. I have to wonder what they may have they found after two years of intense searching?

Yea just like watergate. Lol

Illegally spied on before elected by previous administration...nothing

Elected and then Russian collusion was fabricated. After 2+ years....nothing

Tweets that reference anonymous source ....YGHN!

Totally remember when this happened with Obama. Amirite?

Confirms my suspicions that the FBI was corrupt at the very top.

 

[Matt2496]

When this is over, I think a lingering question will be: why did it take them so long to start investigating?

Thank you for the dumbest post of the day.

I needed a good laugh.

F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia

In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.

The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.

The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.

Agents and senior F.B.I. officials had grown suspicious of Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening an investigation into him, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. But the president’s activities before and after Mr. Comey’s firing in May 2017, particularly two instances in which Mr. Trump tied the Comey dismissal to the Russia investigation, helped prompt the counterintelligence aspect of the inquiry, the people said.

Cohen being cleared totestify before Congress seems like a sign Trump will not be indicted.

Cohen being cleared totestify before Congress seems like a sign Trump will not be indicted.

He is going to do a private session with congress as well. They are working articles of impeachment. But you know that.

Yeah, don’t crush Mick’s world like that

P.S. from the very start the DOJ has not deviated from their party line of a sitting president cannot be indicted. And this Senate will not convict on the BS put forth thus far.

One thing is for sure. The level of bull **** speculation and the implied importance of said speculation around this witch hunt has completely redefined the old phrase “trump’ed up”!

Yes this is about to get good.






Fusion GPS-Linked Group Worked With Tech Company Tied To Russian ‘False Flag’ Operation

A non-profit group linked to Fusion GPS has ties to a cybersecurity firm recently implicated in a self-described “false flag” operation in the Alabama Senate race.
The Democracy Integrity Project, which works with Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele, partnered before the 2018 midterms with New Knowledge, an Austin-based firm that has been tied to an operation that created fake Russian bots in Alabama’s December 2017 special election.
New Knowledge recently produced a report for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and TDIP’s founder was in contact with two Democrats from the committee.



A nonprofit group linked to Fusion GPS and partially funded by George Soros worked in recent months with a technology company implicated in a scheme to use fake Russian bots during Alabama’s special Senate election.

The groups, the Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP) and New Knowledge, partnered before the 2018 midterms to track alleged Russian disinformation networks, a website the organizations collaboratively run shows.

Both organizations have links to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as well as possible Trump campaign collusion.

SSCI provided New Knowledge with data from various social media companies as part of an investigation into Russian disinformation networks, according to a report New Knowledge released Dec. 17. Two days later, news broke that New Knowledge’s chief executive was involved in a self-described “false flag” operation in the special election for a Senate seat in Alabama, as was another staffer who was the lead author on the Senate report.

TDIP is also linked to the Senate Intelligence panel. Its founder, Daniel J. Jones, was previously a staffer for Democrats on SSCI. He was also in contact in early 2017 with Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chairman of SSCI. As part of TDIP’s own Trump-Russia investigation, the group hired Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier.

The extent of Warner’s contacts with Jones remain unclear.

The collaboration between TDIP and New Knowledge, which has not been previously reported, involved a dashboard set up at the site, Disinfo2018.com, which tracked “social media disinformation networks — to include suspected foreign state-actors — conducting information warfare against the American public prior to the 2018 U.S. midterm elections.”

The project appears similar to Hamilton 68, a dashboard operated by the Alliance for Security Democracy. Jonathon Morgan, the founder of New Knowledge, helped create Hamilton 68 and has appeared frequently in the media to discuss Russia’s disinformation efforts.

In an interview with BBC, Morgan claimed Russians were behind #ReleaseTheMemo, the hashtag used to call for the release of a memo from House Intel Republicans that questioned the FBI’s reliance on the unverified Steele dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

But New Knowledge and Morgan are now known for their tactics during the December 2017 Alabama special election.

The New York Times published a damning exposé Dec. 19, 2018, showing New Knowledge operatives targeted conservative Alabamans with fake Facebook pages intended to sow doubt about Roy Moore, the controversial Republican candidate.

The operatives also created thousands of fake Russian Twitter accounts set to follow Moore. The effect was that numerous news outlets reported Moore was being supported by a Russian disinformation network.

New Knowledge has come under heavy criticism following the report, largely because the firm’s tactics in Alabama so closely mirrored the Russian efforts they say they oppose. Morgan, a former State Department adviser, said the Alabama project was merely an experiment that had no impact on the special election, which was won by Democrat Doug Jones.

The Washington Post reported New Knowledge authored a document describing the Alabama false flag operation, but Morgan has denied that claim and said he was unaware of most of the activities detailed in it.

New Knowledge’s Senate report on Russian disinformation networks makes clear its investigation was undertaken at the request of SSCI. But an SSCI official told TheDCNF the committee did not pay New Knowledge and TDIP has never been hired for any work. The official also noted SSCI does not necessarily endorse New Knowledge’s findings.

TDIP has maintained a lower profile than New Knowledge. Most of what’s known about the group has been revealed only through Adam Waldman, an attorney who had contact with the organization in 2017. Information that Jones, the TDIP founder, provided to the FBI was also released in an April 27, 2018, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report.

Jones, who registered TDIP on Jan. 31, 2017, told the FBI in late March 2017 his organization had hired Fusion GPS and Steele, a former MI6 officer, to continue investigations into Russian meddling in the U.S. elections that began with funding from the DNC and Clinton campaign. Jones also told the FBI the project had received $50 million in funding from between seven and 10 wealthy liberal donors.


IRS records suggest TDIP did not receive all of that funding at once. Information from the nonprofit’s tax filings show the group received $9 million in 2017.

Around the same time as his meeting with the FBI, Jones reached out to Waldman, an attorney with a myriad of links to players in the Russia saga. Waldman represented Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and has apparent links to Steele.

Waldman told TheDCNF Jones told him that Fusion GPS was involved with TDIP. He also said Jones claimed Soros had provided funding for TDIP’s anti-Trump operation. (RELATED: Soros Has Given $1 Million To Group Linked To Fusion GPS For Trump-Russia Investigation)

Waldman also provided text messages from March 17, 2017, in which Jones said TDIP helped plant anti-Trump news stories.

“Our team helped with this,” Jones wrote to Waldman, linking to a Reuters article about Russian investment in Florida properties owned by President Donald Trump.

Waldman also exchanged text messages with Warner that suggested the Virginia Democrat was in close contact with Jones.

In an April 25, 2017, text message to Warner, Waldman said Steele had told him “Dan Jones is coming to see you.”

The interactions between Warner, Waldman, Steele and Jones remain one of the enduring puzzles of SSCI’s Russia probe. The committee has refused to discuss the matter.

But Warner was not Jones’s only Democratic contact on SSCI.

According to a New Yorker article published Oct. 15, 2018, an unidentified Democratic senator other than Warner contacted Jones in early 2017 to review data related to Alfa Bank, a Russian bank whose computer servers allegedly had back-channel contacts with Trump Organization computers.

The Alfa Bank connection to Trump was first reported by Slate on Oct. 31, 2016. Alfa Bank’s founders are also accused of having cozy relations with the Kremlin in Steele’s dossier. The claims of illicit contact between Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization have remained unverified, with some computer experts doubting the theory.

Neither TDIP nor New Knowledge responded to multiple requests for comment.

Interesting how it all circles back to certain dems and fusion eventually. The set up keeps being exposed.

I know right? Frankly it seems more to me like a massive media disinformation blitz to completely obfuscate the up front shenanigans and some how try to justify them on the back end. “See, we were right to suspect him and even though we had to go to extraordinary measures in the end it was justified”.

His name is Anonymous source. He shows up frequently, you can’t verify his existence, you can’t verify anything he says. He’s everywhere and nowhere. People with an axe to grind love him, innocent people who are targeted by him hate him. His own mother can’t identify him. He’s at every dinner party or function. He’s around every corner and has excellent hearing and recall. Everytime someone talks to him they get amnesia after they report “his truth”. Stated by “ anonymous source” quoted from “ anonymous source” he’s really popular and people talk about him everyday.

people might want to really believe Anonymous source, because he speaks to their inner mantra. He gets it when they want something to be proven so badly they are beside themselves with hate and vengeance. He’s whispering “ I have everything you need to be fulfilled”. Then anonymous source says “ watch this, hold my beer” Thoughts appear out of nowhere for a story, and anonymous source has another victory under his belt. He has catered to everyone’s inner demons and suspicions, anonymous source can’t be destroyed because everyone needs him. He validates people’s existance and irrational thoughts. He is the antithesis to fact, logic and truth.
Be careful with anonymous source. He’s a vengeful dog.

In order to even possibly consider Trump is a Russian puppet you have to believe Trump’s policy is not tough on Russia, regardless of what he says that might trigger the libtards asses. The record shows the opposite in fact. Trumps policy is tougher on Russia than Barry Hussein’s

Trump’s Russia Policy Is Better Than Obama’s Was

And the current state of our global decline started long before Trump took office. After the Cold War we should have started scaling back our power projection. We did just the opposite and did so over multiple administrations. Trump pulling out of Syria, Afghanistan, and Stormy just flys in the face of all of these globalists hard work.

The Death of Global Order Was Caused by Clinton, Bush, and Obama

I still think it’s still plausible that they impeach him, but if Mueller expected Cohen to have to testify at a trial, he probably would not want him testifying elsewhere first.

It’s an unwritten rule of litigation that you don’t want your star witness, especially one with credibility issues, giving a whole bunch of statements on the record because it’s impeachment material.

I’ve said before that my experience isn’t particularly analogous to this level because I don’t deal with presidential prosecutions, so the calculus may be different for Mueller but based on my experience this indicate they’re going to proceed through Congress, not the Courts.

I respect your opinion on the matter, but given the legal arguments of whether a sitting president can be indicted, impeachment is the route and it's got to get started somehow and Mueller's way of getting some of this information in public view.

If Mueller wants the information public all he has to do is write a report and release it. That simple.

When this is over, I think a lingering question will be: why did it take them so long to start investigating?

What crimes were committed that kicked off the investigation?

Who were the victims of these crimes?

Or does the FBI investigate people in search of crimes now?
