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.

The unprofessional investigation

The committee previously announced that seven staffers had been assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation. These are the majority and minority staff directors, joined by three Republican aides and two Democratic aides "We have devoted seven professional staff positions to this investigation. These are staffers who already had the clearance," Burr said on March 29 Of the seven staffers so far assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation, none of them has prosecutorial or investigative experience, according to three sources with ties to the committee, Most of them lack a background in Russia expertise. Not one of the severn is a lawyer. "I don't see how you can do this without trained investigators and prosecutors. I think you need to have expertise on the intel side and on the prosecution side. You would ideally need someone who knows how to do a counterintelligence operation," said Scott Horton, an attorney who has focused on anti-corruption investigations, with a specialization in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet states. The investigation already faces a series of obstacles that have heavy requirements on time: the classification of documents, the location of documents at various agencies, and an incredible volume of material But of the seven staffers, none has been assigned full-time to the work of the Russia probe, according to four sources with ties to the committee. Every one of the seven staffers has other oversight responsibilities, and thus a dual-hatted role that prevents them from focusing singularly orn the investigation. Of the seven, two are the staff directors of the committee-an enormously demanding job even in the calmest of circumstances, which limits their involvement. One of the seven even attends law school part-time.

Donald knows of Russia's botnet

Donald Trump's link to the hack on the US election appears to be far more direct than anybody thought - with Russian money, washed into his campaign, paying for Russian hackers who attacked both state voter registration databases and the DNC. Trump also appears to have had direct personal knowledge of the propaganda botnet used by Russia.

Mike Quigley travels to Cyprus

After all, the House Intelligence Committee was where FBI Director James Comey dropped the bombshell that the Bureau was undertaking an ongoing investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. The committee appears to be expanding its investigation-Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democratic member of the committee, told The Daily Beast that he traveled Russia investigation. "We believe that we're going to move forward in a positive way," Quigley said. "The feeling among Democrats is cautiously optimistic. Reset, reboot, move forward."

Russian money laundering

Sources linked to the intelligence community say that Donald Trump accepted laundered Russian money which, through shell companies, supported Russian hackers as they attacked America - and then supported Wikileaks and Julian Assange as he published the results of those hacks.

No dedicated Staffers?!

More than three months after the committee announced that it had agreed on the scope of the investigation, the panel has not begun substantially investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, three individuals with ties to the committee told The Daily Beast. e investigation does not have a single staffer dedicated to it full-time, and ose staff members working on it part-time do not have significant nvestigative experience. slower than prior Senate Intelligence Committee investigations, such as the CIA . The probe currently appears to be moving at a pace torture inquiry, which took years to accomplish No interviews have been conducted with key individuals suspected of being in the Trump-Russia orbit: not Michael Flynn, not Roger Stone, not Carter Page, not Paul Manafort, and not Jared Kushner, according to two sources familiar with the committee's procedures.

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.
