US allies also intercepted contacts between Trump campaign and Russian operatives ...

[HipChick]

As part of intelligence operations being conducted against the United States for the last seven months, at least one Western European ally intercepted a series of communications before the inauguration between advisers associated with President Donald Trump and Russian government officials, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation
The sources said the interceptions include at least one contact between former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and a Russian official based in the United States. It could not be confirmed whether this involved the telephone call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that has led to Flynn’s resignation, or additional communications. The sources said the intercepted communications are not just limited to telephone calls: The foreign agency is also gathering electronic and human source information on Trump’s overseas business partners, at least some of whom the intelligence services now consider to be agents of their respective governments. These operations are being conducted out of concerns that Russia is seeking to manipulate its relationships with Trump administration officials as part of a long-term plan to destabilize the NATO alliance.
he information gathered by the Western European government has been widely shared among the NATO allies, although it is not clear how much has been provided to American intelligence officials. One source said that members of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s staff had been briefed on the surveillance findings prior to her meeting last month with Trump and that officials within the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel have also obtained the details.

These intelligence operations against the United States come as a result of allied concern about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s designs to damage NATO and whether Trump intends to follow a policy path that would embolden Russia.

1. Malcolm Nance says that about our intel, too

I think it was last night with Joy Reid when he said we've been getting tips and intel from our allies all along. Maybe that's why he also said that he's been predicting current events for the past seven months.

Going to read the whole article, thanks! :::::::::::

I suspect there's a very smart 4D chess type of
strategy behind all these damning Trump revelations.
Republicans are going to be screaming Uncle if this keeps up.

7. Friendlies are effectively allowed to snoop within U.S. as a means of skirting prohibitions

on domestic intelligence gathering. Part of the bargain is that they share their findings.
