NO COLLUSION NO OBSTRUCTION FOR THE HATERS AND THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GAME-GIVER

Dr Shaym 18 hours ago You are showing flat Earther levels of denial if you believe there's even the slimmest possibility that Trump will still be convicted of collusion with Russia after today. We're looking at 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, more than 230 orders for communication records, almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviews with 500 witnesses over the course of 22 months. The 9/11 attacks weren't investigated this thoroughly. It's over. Trump is drinking your milkshake.

Moar:

Is the Senate Intelligence Committee really investigating the Trump-Russia ties?

In one hint about the inadequacies of the investigation, Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Ron Wyden last month sent a letter to the Republican and Democrat heads of the panel, imploring them to look into financial relationships between Russia, President Trump, and his associates. The implication behind the letter? That the committee wasn't already looking into it

Russian think-tank strategizes involvement in US election

Not only did Russian state-run media cover the trip, but a prominent government-run think tank involved in election-meddling efforts put out a press release heralding Page's visit. The leader of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studie, Leonid Reshetnikov, painted Page as an influential adviser to Trump and said his visit could help improve US-Russian relations. "It's quite possible that Trump's advisor is a pragmatist and a realist," Reshetnikov said, according to a translation of his comments in Russian. "This is probably not an ordinary visit. He has probably received some instructions from the President-elect. I don't think that meetings at the highest level will take place, but (the possibility) cannot be excluded." Reuters reported this week that the group was involved in Russia's efforts to interfere in the US election. The organization sent recommendations to top Kremlin leaders with plans of how to use its propaganda machine to help Trump and undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Carter Page: FBI person of interest for years

The FBI had Page on their radar for at least four years, according to court documents and US officials. The bureau also knew about Page from its 2013 investigation into a Russian spy ring in New York. One of the spies was taped saying he tried to recruit Page, and Page admitted meeting him. But Page says he didn't share anything sensitive and didn't know he was talking to a spy. He also traveled to Russia frequently and interacted with officials that the FBl was concerned were acting on behalf of the government. His trip to Russia in July 2016 revived the FBl's interest, when he delivered a lecture at a graduation ceremony for the New Economic School. The university opened after the fall of the Soviet Union and is ranked as one of the best universities for economics in Russia. Former President Barack Obama gave a speech there during his first official trip to Russia in 2009 But Page's lecture sounded different than what would be expected from most Americans. He parroted Kremlin talking points by chastising the West for prolonging "Cold War tendencies."

Mary McCord leaving DoJ during the investigation

The woman leading the Justice Department's investigation of foreign meddling into the 2016 election and possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia has told staff members she will leave the department in May. Mary B. McCord has served at the highest levels in the national security unit, either as its leader or chief deputy, for the past three years. A longtime federal prosecutor based in Washington, McCord easily won the confidence of both career lawyers and her supervisors inside the Justice Department.

More Russiagate

= SECTIONS NATIONAL REVIEW While we will have to wait for more evidence to know for sure, the circumstantial evidence already points to Intellgence Operational Rule No. 2, i.e., Russian involvement. First, Russian intelligence services despise the CIA for its recruitment of Russian agents on Russian soil. They are always desperate to embarrass the agency. Second, as John Schindler, a former NSA counterintelligence officer, has argued for years, WikiLeaks is not an independent accountability agency, but rather a veiled cutout for Russian intelligence. Many American intelligence officers believe WikiLeaks to be a known quantity. Indeed, in March 2016, when WikiLeaks first began releasing Democratic-party officials' e-mails, I was confident that Russia's GRU intelligence service was responsible. This January, the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) publicly confirmed the same. Moreover, anyone genuinely concerned about civil-liberties abuses would have approached the congressional intelligence-oversight committees or an anti- surveillance U.S. journalist. In the intelligence world, approaching Julian Assange or the Russians is the same thing. The leaker/s is either an idiot or a traitor.

How social media is used to manipulate electorates

Bots make it easy to spread a given message, but that also creates a problem: Twitter followers often don't know they're retweeting or forwarding deliberately false information from unknown sources, which can then potentially further polarize the populace and overstate a message or a candidate's actual support. In his opening statement to the committee, Clint Watts, a former FBI special agent, explained the influence campaign was part of a yearslong Russian effort to undermine US institutions. "Tailored news feeds from social media platforms have created information bubbles where voters see only stories and opinions suiting their preferences and biases," he said, "ripe conditions for Russiarn disinformation campaigns."

Don't be fooled: Trump isn't stupid about this

PLEASE READ AND RT IT'S LONG BUT IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND! Easter weekend, all Americans, our allies and the world watched and waited in hopes that the worst case scenario would not present itself regarding North Korea. Given what we were told, should the situation go South, the US had positioned AN ARMADA" to defend our allies or possibly our homeland should North Korea's proliferation be more advance than we thought. On Tuesday after Easter, it was confirmed that this was not the case at all. The USS Carl Vinson was nowhere near the the area of potential conflict. WE CAN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND HOW S. KOREA AND JAPAN MUST HAVE FELT, DISCOVERING WE DIDN'T HAVE THEIR BACKS! We also found out the same day that Trump called Turkish President Erdogan to congratulate him on a win that the House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman warned "all who value democracy...should be concerned. NEVER IN AMERICA HISTORY has there been a sitting President that would do such a thing, they wouldn't even have thought to do it! Given al the lies and distractions along with the billowing smoke that strongly suggests the corruption of Donald Trump et ABUNDANTLY CLEAR...HE ISN'T SOME HALF WIT MORON...HIS ACTIONS HAVE BEEN PURPOSEFUL AND PREMEDITATED! HE IS ACCOMPLISHING HIS MISSION! while waiting for confirmation, this is what has become There has not been one thing in our government that has made life better for our citizens or our country since the Inauguration Nothing but the gutting of every governmental agency. Just since Easter weekend the two actions previously referenced are nothing short of HUMILIATING AND DETRIMENTAL TOWARDS THE IMAGE THE UNITED STATES HAS PRIDED ITSELF ON SINCE THE NATIONS CONCEPTION. Trump's behavior points strongly toward his alliance with Russia and HIS ACTIONS POINT DIRECTLY towards his deliberate intention to degrade the United States in the eyes of the world. HE IS ACCOMPLISHING WHAT HE HAS SET OUT TO DO! "MAKING AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN", IS NOTHING BUT A DISTRACTIVE GIMMICK INTENDED TO DISGUISE HIS ACTIONS. It appears that our Founding Fathers didn't take a situation into consideration where if the government was controlled by an entire Party of corruption, how are we to protect ourselves?

Justify the unjustifyable

The intelligence source told me that he knows, "from talking to people in the intelligence community," that "the White House said, 'We are going to mobilize to find something to justify the President's tweet that he was being surveilled.' They put out an all-points bulletin"-a call to sift through intelligence reports --" and said, 'We need to find something that justifies the President's crazy tweet about surveillance at Trump Tower.' And I'm telling you there is no way you get that from those transcripts, which are about as plain vanilla as can be." (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)

The Nunes Stunt confirmed

It is now clear that the scandal was not Rice's normal review of the intelligence reports but the coördinated effort between the Trump Administration and Nunes to sift through classified information and computer logs that recorded Rice's unmasking requests, and then leak a highly misleading characterization of those documents, all in an apparent effort to turn Rice, a longtime target of Republicans, into the face of alleged spying against Trump. It was a series of lies to manufacture a fake scandal. Last week, CNN was the first to report that both Democrats and Republicans who reviewed the Nunes material at the N.S.A. said that the documents provided "no evidence that Obama Administration officials did anything unusual or

Why is Peter Thiel, Silicon Valley billionaire, interested in the National Security Council?

The meetings occurred in Trump Tower, the administration's transition office in Washington and elsewhere, according to people familiar with them. In one informal discussion in late November, Prince spoke openly with two members of Trump's transition team on a train bound from New York to Washington. He boarded the same Acela as Kellyanne Conway and they sat together. Joining the conversation at one point was Kevin Harrington, a longtime associate of Trump adviser Peter Thiel who is now on the National Security Council. They discussed, in broad terms, major changes the incoming administration envisioned for the intelligence community, as recounted by a person on the train who overheard their conversation Conway declined to comment for this story. Harrington said through a spokesman that he recalled speaking briefly to Prince on the train ride but that was the only time he talked to him
