Report: Obama Intel Officials Used ‘Russia Blackmail’ Claims to Warn Israel About Trusting Trump
Breitbart ^ | January 12, 2017 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 01/12/2017 10:08:56 AM PST by COUNTrecount

TEL AVIV – U.S. intelligence officials warned their Israeli counterparts not to trust President-elect Donald Trump with intelligence secrets, citing alleged fears that Russia held blackmail information over Trump, according to a report today in Israel’s respected Yediot Ahronot daily newspaper.

The alleged blackmail information that U.S. officials reportedly warned Israel about seems to be in part referencing details contained in a debunked document of mysterious origin purporting to be an intelligence report alleging that Russia collected compromising videos and information on Trump.

In the report, investigative journalist Ronen Bergman writes of a meeting that took place “recently between Israeli and American intelligence officials (the date of the meeting is not mentioned to protect the sources of the report).”

Continued Bergman:

During the meeting, according to the Israelis who participated in it, their American colleagues voiced despair over Trump’s election, as he often lashes out at the American intelligence community. The American officials also told the Israelis that the National Security Agency (NSA) had “highly credible information” that Russia’s intelligence agencies, the FSB and GRU, were responsible for hacking the Democratic Party (DNC) servers during the elections and leaking sensitive information to WikiLeaks, which hurt Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The American officials further added that they believed Russian President Vladimir Putin had “leverages of pressure” over Trump – but did not elaborate. They were apparently referring to what was published Wednesday about embarrassing information collected by the Russian intelligence in a bid to blackmail the president-elect.

The fallout from Goldenshowergate continues.

Congress has to hold a hearing over this. To tell foreign allies this is scandalous.

this is after Obama personally saw to it to releasing the very most sensitive Israeli defense secrets that Jersualem had entrusted to him, at least TWICE, thus endangering Israel’s defense operations, and after he pesonally interceded to deprive Israel of needed ammunition WHILE SHE WAS UNDER FIRE ... and after Obama shafted Jerusalem at the UnitedNazis

no, Obama, Israel will trust DJT ... much more than she could ever trust his predecessor, that’s for sure

They wouldn’t have done it unless Obama told them to, but what we’ll hear is that Bambi didn’t know anything until he heard it on the news.

And the Democrat Party feels no shame or remorse about using the resources of, and acting under the color of authority of, the local, state or federal government....for purposes which are 100% partisan.

I am afraid for our President Elect. These people are dirty and are about to be exposed. And I believe these spooks would do anything to save their empire.

So let me see if I have this right.

The rapist contacts his victim and warns her not to trust the new guy?

Israel, please accept my apologies for all you’ve had to endure from this child during the last eight years.

“They were apparently referring to what was published Wednesday about embarrassing information collected by the Russian intelligence in a bid to blackmail the president-elect.”

Not satire. What they aren’t telling you (yet) is that the Russian Intelligence was based on investigations during the HILLARY/OBAMA DEM Primary back in 2011/2012. That original report was used as the basis for the new report, with the name of the ‘perp’ changed to TRUMP.
