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.”

“We have no laws against other countries spying on us”
What they have been doing is illegal as hell. You can’t outsource federal felonies and make it “OK”.
The CIA owns America.
The whole operation was run out of British Office, which was led by Gina Haspell.

Amen!
Don’t stop there. He has lots of henchmen.
We shouldn’t let past failures prevent future successes. :)
Right.
Some “bumped” individuals probably post comments on this site and are probably being paid, directly or indirectly, by foreign Five Eyes agencies to fight or falsely refute truthful posters with narrative-supporting propaganda.

When can we expect the first book about Watergate being a Fed Operation to remove Nixon?
It was written a long time ago: “Silent Coup” by Len Colodny. A very well-researched book. The transcripts of the interviews in the “notes” section of the book are interesting.
I don’t recall all of the details, but early on the military complex was spying on Nixon and Kissinger. Haig was involved in a lot of that, and when he became chief of staff at the White House for Nixon he made some very poor suggestions to Nixon, but saved his own bacon.
The following is in interesting article. Recall that Haig, when Reagan was shot, announced that everything was fine and that he was in charge at the White House. (I forget the actual line of succession, but VP first, etc. Haig was fairly far down on the list).

The answer is that the Deep State and possibly the 5-eyes countries have decided that Slow Joe is too much of a liability and danger. That means he has to go. This is just part of the process of throwing Joe under the political bus.
It is my hope that not only does it tarnish Joe, but it tarnishes both the Big Zero and his “wife” who may have political aspirations. If that is the case, then the question is who will the Deep State get behind to be the next Democratic Party candidate?
Based on their (Intelligence Community) other actions, sabotage and spying on Trump. That have been proven and documented.
This latest news looks credible until proven otherwise, by the denizens of our so called Intelligence Community. This burden is on them.
On a good day. When the sun is shining.
This doesn’t strike me as new information. Didn’t Papadop and others expose this? Some of the Twitter researchers like Tracey Beanz, Shem Horne, Kenekoa The Great and others dug through all this before.
The part about the plan having been documented and lost came out a few weeks ago.
Not complaining others noticing, just pointing out others alerady reported these things on X.
Yes, he is, now, to some of us.
I reckon we could start with immigration law and end with foreign policy. Do you want US code details for all that?
Now I wonder if that net rumor about Biden raping the two young Chinese sisters (5 and 7) is true. That story had the same ‘feel’ as this one.
Faster, please.
Brennan is a traitor and guilty of espionage against our country.
Brennan also is responsible for the assassination of Lt. Quarales Harris Jr., a worker who accessed Obama’s passport history.

Is anyone going to do anything about it? Not a snow balls chance.
