Saying that the Trump camp was ‘warned’ about Russia’s interference efforts presupposes that the Trump camp wasn’t involved in or helping to coordinate the interference. Like sending a dangerous swimming conditions warning when the bathers are already neck deep in shit.
Donald Trump was warned that Russia and other foreign nations would try to infiltrate his presidential campaign in late summer 2016, after becoming the official GOP nominee, NBC News reported Monday.
Team Treason: Thanks but you’re late. We got them setup with e-mail addresses, phones, offices, etc last week.
To: Candidate Trump
From: FBI (Comey, James, quisling idiot)
Sir,
It has come to our attention that the Russians are trying to help get your idiot self elected. Thought you should know.
Trump picks up phone, calls Putin: Comrade, it’s working!
During a meeting discussing his campaign and WH plans with his Russian handlers in 2015, Donald Trump had already been assured that they would never try to infiltrate his campaign and he should disregard any US warning to the contrary.
Pretty fastidious considering they are a “Criminal Cabal”
Puts Jared’s and Flynn’s efforts to use a secure communication channel (even asking if they could use one in the Russian embassy) in an even more sinister light.
“That the Republican and Democrat nominee for President received a standardized briefing on counter-intelligence is hardly a news story,” Raj Shah, a White House spokesman, told NBC.
It is, when the story is now trying to find out what a candidate chose to do with that information.
“That NBC News hears about the contents of this classified conversation due to an inappropriate leak is a news story.”
uh-huh
Tramp’s badministration’s MO is to always, always shoot the messenger and ignore the message.
I now predict that he’ll be taken out by the IC, ours or a western ally’s, and it will be made to look like a Russian hit.
Did anyone else watch the opening discussion on AM Joy yesterday? I was jumpy the rest of the day and am not feeling much better today.
ETA: Sorry, can’t seem to imbed the video but here’s the link to Joy’s show and the segment I’m referencing is Trump lawyer, some in Congress, call to replace Mueller
“Infiltrate”?
How far behind the curve was the FBI?
Inasmuch as this is so why isn’t the firing of Comey totally Obstruction of Justice without any further ado?
Remember that at Trump’s first briefing he brought along Christie and Flynn, and that Flynn was so incensed with the briefer he nearly had to be dragged out of the room? Yeaaaaah.
Might be already. Remember the sealed indictments.
Donald Trump was warned that Russia would try to infiltrate his presidential campaign
Exactly how would Russia infiltrate a campaign that it was running?
Wow, the Deep State campaign against Mr. Trump goes back a long way. If the FBI trying to turn Mr. Trump against his loyal Russian supporters is not a coup, I don’t know what is! (The only question is whether it is a two-door coup or a four-door.)
God I hope so. He was warned, the FBI had seen the order Putin signed to do it. He said on TV he fired Comey because the Russian thing was a distraction.
IF that’s not OOJ, then I’m Marie the Queen of Romania.
“Trump [was] asked to alert the FBI about any suspicious outreach…”
Like his son-in-law sneaking into the Russian embassy?
In the trunk of a car?
To use an encrypted hotline to the Kremlin?
That sort of thing?
Remember that at Trump’s first briefing he brought along Christie and Flynn, and that Flynn was so incensed with the briefer he nearly had to be dragged out of the room? Yeaaaaah.
… and Flynn’s responses were so over the top that Christie started having reservations - and then started rejecting placing Flynn high up in the administration. Then Ivanka and Jared intervened… “what position do you want Gen Flynn?”
By having their own email servers and giving speeches.
Duh.
They were asking about suspicious outreach from the Russians to the Trumpsters, not suspicious outreach from the Trumpsters to the Russians. You know Mr. Trump–a stickler for details.
