London ‘bridges’ falling down: curious origins of FBI’s Trump-Russia probe
The Hill ^ | 6/1/2018 | John Solomon

Posted on 06/01/2018 10:02:44 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The bridge to the Russia investigation wasn’t erected in Moscow during the summer of the 2016 election.

It originated earlier, 1,700 miles away in London, where foreign figures contacted Trump campaign advisers and provided the FBI with hearsay allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, bureau documents and interviews of government insiders reveal. These contacts in spring 2016 — some from trusted intelligence sources, others from Hillary Clinton supporters — occurred well before FBI headquarters authorized an official counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016.

The new timeline makes one wonder: Did the FBI follow its rules governing informants?

Here's my take on Brennan: anybody that so frequently quotes Cicero will also know his Machiavelli inside and out.

This whole think stinks like a set-up from the first day.

How deep is Her Majesty’s Secret Service involved?

Who were the informants working for, who were they reporting to and why has the [Department of Justice] and FBI gone to such great lengths to hide these contacts?”

The Five Eyes connection is the clue (GCHQ and Downer’s Aussie intel):

Stinks of CIA, aka Brennan. There are many other clues, Mufsud’s disappearance among them.

Once you open that door (intelligence community), all the disassociated pieces fall into place like magic.

The neanderthal Brennan started this. He got CIA contacts to begin a whispering campaign, and provided the meetings with Halper, etc... to check-off the boxes for an FBI investigation and phony FISA warrants.

This man is a criminal. He should hang for treason.

“They voiced alarm when an FBI colleague — “Liz” — suggested the Obama White House was about to hijack the investigation. “Went well, best we could have expected,” Strzok texted Page after an Aug. 5, 2016, meeting. “Other than Liz quote ‘the White House is running this.’ ” Page then texted to assure Strzok of a paper trail showing the FBI in charge: “We got emails that say otherwise.””

Papadopoulos was working for the FBI or CIA, and sent in to attempt to entrap Trump campaign members in 'Trump-Russia collusion'.

Natalia Veselnitskaya was allowed into the country by Obama. She was most likely also working on behalf of the Russians enlisted by Brennan to entrap Don Jr. in an effort to bolster the 'Trump-Russia collusion' narrative.

Note that Mueller has NOT interviewed her, HMMMMMMMM.... Mueller KNOWS who she was working for.

It was a joint operation between MI6 and the CIA to lure Trump campaign folks into radar range of the FBI/DOJ.

And there were collaborators in the DOJ/FBI National Security divisions who were awaiting the flimsiest of predicates to start the wiretaps.

For purely political purposes.

It really is that simple. The only question is whether it will be possible to turn the FBI/DOJ folks to testify about their collaborators in CIA/MI6.

When that happens it will be like a nuke exploding in DC and London.

“How deep is Her Majesty’s Secret Service involved?”

That’s why this thing is so hard to unravel. There are people that will do whatever it takes to protect that secret.

If the agents were working for the FBI in a foreign country then they were not working legally. They would have had to be CIA assets.

*******************************************
My personal educated guess is that the “linchpin” Joseph Mifsud has intentionally been made to go dark and is being hidden in a British Intelligence safe house.

The US should close down its embassy in London and erect massive economic sanctions.

The FBI has MANY agents, other employees and assets in many foreign countries. And the FBI is very active in those locales. They do coordinate and liaise closely with the CIA and foreign intelligence and police agencies.

Rush Limbaugh read from this article today (WSJ). The last 3 paragraphs are significant:

Soloman is full of s***, don’t trust him. Here is the timeline.
1# Stefan Halper invites Papadopolus to England. Pays for his flight pays for his Hotel, pays him to write a paper.
2# Stefan Halper whispers in Papadopolus’s hear “Did you hear, the Russians have dirt on Hillary”
3# Papadopolus meets a Beautiful blond in England
4# Beautiful blond invites him to go out drink.
5# Beautiful blond plies Papadopolus with drink
6# Beautiful blond introduces Papadopolus to a “Friend” of her’s a Mr Drowner, who just happens to be the Australian Ambassador, and contributed Twenty-Five million Australian tax-payer money to the Clinton Foundation.
7# Mr. Downer informs the FBI a Trump campaign adviser has “Dirt on Hillary”

Yeah, all perfectly believable.

The Downer meeting with Pappadopolous has never been explained.
