US Officials: Info suggests Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians
CNN ^ | March 22, 2017 | Pamela Brown, Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN

Washington (CNN)The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.

This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, according to one source.

The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.

In his statement on Monday Comey said the FBI began looking into possible coordination between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives because the bureau had gathered "a credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."

The White House did not comment and the FBI declined to comment.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer maintained Monday after Comey's testimony that there was no evidence to suggest any collusion took place.

"Investigating it and having proof of it are two different things," Spicer said.

One law enforcement official said the information in hand suggests "people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready." But other U.S. officials who spoke to CNN say it's premature to draw that inference from the information gathered so far since it's largely circumstantial.

The Deep State has gone all in with the fake Russian narrative and now they have to create a convincing collaboration between the president and the Russians to save everyone’s butts in this thing. Amazing. This is how the quest for power corrupts people totally, and we have a whole group of traitors and sellouts in DC who will do everything short of getting us into a nuclear war with Russia to gain their power base back. We’re living in maybe the most tumultuous times in our nation’s history, and it’s only gonna get more intense as the globalists throw everything into this fight!

CNN IS NOT A CREDITABLE NEWS OUTLET..

THEY ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY SOROS, AND THE CLINTON FAMILY AND THE CRIME FAMILY FOUNDATION...CNN GOAL IS TO DESTROY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN ANY WAY OR MANOR THEY CAN..

SO IF THEY HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE DAMAGE TRUMP’S PEOPLE WERE ABOUT TO LEAK TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT HILLARY...BY ALL MEANS PLEASE SHARE IT...

after all granny Benghazi has stated she is ready to come out of the woods...oh dear lord what a FAIRY TALE she can weave..made me laugh my a## off, because the old hag can barley walk on solid ground let alone walk on branches, twigs, dead leaves with holes and pits in the earth created by small wood animals.. I notice when she got finished with her FAIRY TALE in Scranton, PA. she needed assistance from two over fed women to help her walk a few steps and to stand up, plus her big bull of a needle dude was close by...read to inject her if needed...SHE IS A JOKE, PLUS POLITICAL HISTORY...

They are looking for cover story to explain why they have wiretaps on Trump’s campaign.

And... to keep hidden the fact that they had 'surveillance' (spying/wiretapping/turncoat insiders) on candidates on both sides, for decades.

Bernie Sanders, Bush, Romney,McCain,Sarah Palin,etc., etc.

IT'S WHO THEY ARE.

And the media also wants to take the focus OFF of the terrorist attack today in London..YAWN..May, Shoulda, wudda, cudda..if Trump wanted to hack into the DNC emails he didnt need to get Russia to do it for him, could have gotten a 6th grader to do it would have literally been that simple

For this to result in an indictment of a Trump associate, that associate had to have some very definitive conversations with foreign agents, Russians or otherwise, which demonstrated that he did illegal actions. During the campaign Trump made no secret that he thought that the Russians had Hillary’s missing e mails that the Obama administration refused to identify or “find”. If a Trump associate were in contact with a foreigner who he thought might have access to those e mails is that a crime or merely opposition research.

CNN is the king of deep state leaks.

CNN is an international media service that sells it's local reporting service to the government of each country.

In the US, the Department of State funds and controls CNN.

House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes says Trump was wiretapped.
++++
That’s what we all heard. But that not actually what he said. So be careful with that.

When Nunes was asked if the transcripts he had read of the FISA target conversations were directly to Trump or a member of the Trump team he said NO, YOU ARE READING TO MUCH INTO MY STATEMENT. Or something close to that.

He went on make comments that Trump team members were included in the report and named. That’s bad. But it’s not a wiretap.

You knew that was coming. These people are now trapped and will do anything to prevent their own demise and destroy everyone trying to stop them. CNN is an absolute disgrace to this nation for the propaganda disinformation campaign they’re conducting on behalf of the globalist cabal
