LOCK HIM UP!

Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence

"WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time that they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election."

It will be interesting to see how BroadwayConcierge spins this.  Will have to wait until he does his chores and finishes his high school homework.

Petra will spins this too after she googles for stories about similar events in the early 20th century.

This is unbelievable.  Is there anyone in this administration that we can trust? Oh wait,  I forgot I'm supposed to feel empowered by KellyAnne Conway because she is so inspiring and influential.  Yes, she inspires me to not sound like a crazy person if I ever get interviewed.

"If you read the article you posted A Director there is no evidence of Trump involvement. I will cut and paste it for your convenience.  

The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.

Looks like this is more of the DNC plan to discredit their horrible failure in the election and smear the administration. like the russian sex tapes, and blaming Comey, and white women, and Bernie, and voter fraud, and fake news etc

Meanwhile a Russian spy ship has been spotted off the coast of Long Island...and not a peep from the White House.

Meanwhile a Russian spy ship has been spotted off the coast of Long Island...and not a peep from the White House.

It's in international waters so there's not a whole lot they can do.  And, we have ships doing the same thing.

And, this is nothing new 

"CNN reported that the Leonov, which conducted similar patrols in 2014 and 2015, was off the coast of Delaware Wednesday, but typically it only travels as far as Virginia.

    The ship is based with Russia's northern fleet on the North Sea but had stopped over in Cuba before conducting its patrol along the Atlantic Coast and is expected to return there following its latest mission."

    It isn't the Russian ship in international waters we should worry about, it's the fact that Russia deployed a cruise missile in violation of the 1987 INF Treaty and also that Finland is preparing for an imminent Russian invasion. That's what we should be worried about.

    Oh, and the fact that Trump likes Putin.

    It is worth reposting this From the NY TIMES Article that A Director posted  (and ignored when i pointed it out to him above) and Trump Referenced in his Press Conference.....  I highlight cut and paste for your convenience. 

    The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

    The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.

    Luscious said: "John Roberts, Chief White House Correspondent for FOX news, reporting that Agent Orange was in fact fully briefed on the content of those conversations that Gen. Flynn had with the Russian ambassador."

    In any normal political environment, that would be damning.  Will be interesting to see how this plays out.  Kudos to John Roberts.  Nice to see someone other than Shepard Smith showing some integrity at Fox.
