Analyzing CNN’s Latest Fake News: Trump’s People Were Talking to Russians During Campaign

CNN is out with a new report by multiple unnamed sources that claim Trump’s advisors were in contact with the MUH Russians during the campaign. Their chief target was former chief of staff, Paul Manafort. But he vehemently denied said claims.

But CNN carried on with this refuse anyway — because that’s what they do.

Let’s analyze.

(CNN)High-level advisers close to then-presidential nominee Donald Trump were in constant communication during the campaign with Russians known to US intelligence, multiple current and former intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials tell CNN.

The obvious questions here are who were these ‘high level advisors’ and what Russians were they in contact with? Since when is it a crime to forge contacts and relationships with foreign governments or people that you intend to interact with as leader? Why is Russia our enemy again? Oh, I almost forgot, they got in the way of us toppling Assad, using ISIS.

Also, who are these unnamed ‘multiple’ sources?

President-elect Trump and then-President Barack Obama were both briefed on details of the extensive communications between suspected Russian operatives and people associated with the Trump campaign and the Trump business, according to US officials familiar with the matter.
Both the frequency of the communications during early summer and the proximity to Trump of those involved “raised a red flag” with US intelligence and law enforcement, according to these officials. The communications were intercepted during routine intelligence collection targeting Russian officials and other Russian nationals known to US intelligence.
Among several senior Trump advisers regularly communicating with Russian nationals were then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and then-adviser Michael Flynn.

So the CIA was spying on Trump and found Manafort (who was replaced after the primaries) and Flynn were chatty with the Russians. What were they discussing?  Why keep it ambiguous? Release the recordings.

Officials emphasized that communications between campaign staff and representatives of foreign governments are not unusual. However, these communications stood out to investigators due to the frequency and the level of the Trump advisers involved. Investigators have not reached a judgment on the intent of those conversations.

Now you know why Hillary was ginning up those Russian conspiracy theories. During the elections, our intelligence services were leaking this info to her. If Trump’s advisors were acting improperly, explain what they did. I haven’t read a single incriminating fact yet.

Adding to US investigators’ concerns were intercepted communications between Russian officials before and after the election discussing their belief that they had special access to Trump, two law enforcement officials tell CNN. These officials cautioned the Russians could have been exaggerating their access.

Did you see what they did there? They made a wild accusation about Russian officials shitposting to one another, hoping to have better relations with Trump after dealing with the devil in Obama, who was working on  starting a war with them, only to hedge it with a ‘nah, they were likely just talking shit’ qualifier.

“That is 100% not true, at least as far as me,” he said. “I cannot believe that they are including me in anything like that. I have not been involved in any of these activities.”

Manafort said he did not know where US officials got the idea that he was in contact with suspected Russian operatives during the campaign but said he never spoke with any Russian officials during that time.

Does this mean anything or should CNN just continue with their big Russian scare play?

 

“I don’t remember talking to any Russian officials, ever. Certainly during the time we’re talking about,” he said, calling the allegations “boggling.”

“I have knowingly never talked to any intelligence official or anyone in Russia regarding anything of what’s under investigation,” he said. “I have never had any connection to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or the Russian government before, during or after the campaign.”

Manafort said the FBI has not contacted him about the allegations and said he was not aware of any other Trump campaign officials or people close to Trump being in touch with Russians known to US intelligence.

So this dastardly double agent named Manafort was talking to Russians,  in spite of energetically denying it, and yet the FBI didn’t bother to ever contact him. Makes sense.

CNN fake news.

The extensive contacts drew concerns of US intelligence and law enforcement officials in part because it came at a time of Russian cyberactivities targeting mostly Democratic Party political organizations.

Post-election intelligence briefings on Russian meddling in the US elections included details of those communications, which included people involved in Trump’s businesses.

The only post election intelligence reports that I remember were they laughable ones that were mocked by everyone as being unprofessional gags by Obama’s shills. None of the Russian claims were proven. Period.

The communications were gathered as part of routine US intelligence collection and not because people close to Trump were being targeted.

‘Routine.’

The FBI and US intelligence agencies continue to try to determine what the motive for the communications were.
One concern was whether Trump associates were coordinating with Russian intelligence operatives over the release of damaging information about the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Proof? Didn’t think so.

“If that were the case, then that would escalate things,” one official briefed on the investigation said.

Who the fuck was said official? This entire report is shit.

Why isn't the headline: "Officials Say No Evidence of Cooperation Betw Trump campaign and Russia"- as story states. https://t.co/8WleU06Tig
