A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump

[kpete]

Mother Jones has reviewed that report and other memos this former spy wrote. The first memo, based on the former intelligence officer’s conversations with Russian sources, noted, “Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance.” It maintained that Trump “and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.” It claimed that Russian intelligence had “compromised” Trump during his visits to Moscow and could “blackmail him.” It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on “bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls.”

5. Re the scientists who discovered this

exchange between Trump's people and the Alfa Bank: To which agency did they report their discovery? Was it the FBI? Wouldn't there be a group of agencies with a more international focus who ought to have been alerted?

Would not other countries' agencies know about this? Germany? Israel?

If the FBI is the lone agency to which the scientists reported their discovery, is the FBI required to inform other arms of the U.S. intelligence community? The State Department? The Attorney General?

9. Now this is a story I can buy into. Putin wants his puppet and Trump

Appears easily influenced. He is probably up to his eyes in debt to Russia and they really hold him in check.
