Peegate likely never happened. But who cares?
34 pages of very suspect crap suddenly hits the intertubez . . . from someplace. A two page summary gets officially dropped on official officials of National Officialdom.
Not a single word of it can be corroborated.
But tomorrow, Minipoot has a presser scheduled. You KNOW there will be questions. Lots of questions. Watch his bloated carcass twitch and jerk as he adjusts the microphone with thumb and forefinger, and pinky raised, juts out his jaw, and pinches tighter the asshole-on-his face-that-passes-as-a-mouth.
"Mr. Trump, were you ever urinated upon?"
"Mr. Trump, were the Russian hookers wearing wires?"
Nope, its never smart to fuck with the CIA.
A shot across his prodigious bow. From the most dangerous people in the USA. From people who have, and can again, taken down skilled national leaders. Imagine what they can do with a bullshit amateur like you and your posse. Watch yer ass, PootieBitch. Watch. Your. Ass.

If he does do a news conference, you can bet no one will ask him about specifics in that report. It's still the good puppy corporate press, you know, and he's a Republican, or so he says.

(67,799 posts)They collaborate now only because the establishment holds a loaded shotgun to their heads.
In answer to your question, yes, the NY Field Office of the FBI is pretty much right wing wall to wall. Comey is from there. Giuliani worked closely with them when he was NY Southern District US Atty. and NYC gestapomayor.

(83,771 posts)It seems we elected a treasonous traitor that sold us out to our enemy along with his cronies to the highest offices in the land.
I weep for America. If the US survives we will be ridiculed as the weakest nation in the world.

(14,167 posts)However, something very evil is going on and I'm pretty sure there is evidence outside of Putin's regime. Harry Reid was furious with Comey because Comey clearly had some inkling of what the Russians have on Trump. Also, I think several reporters on the D.C. beat are trying to source something big. Read Sanger's columns in the NYT. They are full of coded language that carries a level of certainty.
This moron is a ticking time bomb and a major threat to our national interests. The CIA isn't done with him yet.

Stinky The Clown
(67,799 posts)No offense intended toward you for saying it. My point is, this almost certainly was not from a former intelligence officer. That would be far too easy.
There is likely no there there for any of this. This was a warning shot.

(4,483 posts)because 1) I want it to have happened and 2) it would help explain Trump's adamant refusal to acknowledge that Russians hacked the DNC. I think his denials of the possibility of the Russian hack have the desperate air of a man terrified of blackmail.
Brainstormy
(2,380 posts)that both the CIA and the FBI didn't fuck with the American people. McCain had this information since SEPTEMBER. And you know how carefully Comey payed out innuendo. I don't for one minute believe that this stuff is "unverified" as they keep saying. They knew all of this months ago!
Tess49
(1,579 posts)Seriously, who would dare to mess with the CIA? Seems like a death wish. And Trump thought he could insult and endanger these people. Destroy years of their work? What a fool.

"I dunno...there's no real proof, BUT there has to be something going on...
Anyway, yeah...do not fuck with the CIA.
If he decides to wage a war of words with them, this could get very very messy for him.
SeattleVet
(5,477 posts)they would release the tape shortly after the short-fingered vulgarian (PEeOTUS) has his press conference and denies everything to hell and back. If he still manages to enter office, he starts out with zero credibility, here and around the world - even more of a laughingstock than Burlesconi.

GusBob
(7,286 posts)It could be argued that WW2 was won because of British intelligence and spying. Cracking the German code, the invasion of Sicily, the invasion of France....all pulled off by British spy work.
They were brilliant and light years ahead of us.
Leghorn21
(13,524 posts)having a clue! But please do tell, since you know what all these agencies are, and what they do - in your opinion, would you say that the report published today is bona fide? I am actually reading the entire thing (almost done!) - but, having no experience in this realm, cannot tell if it's - well - a fabulous "imitation", or an example of a classic, genuine intelligence document -??
Thank you!
roamer65
(36,745 posts)"S" instead of "Z" in words. It's British in origin, having been the work of a former MI6 contracted to look into the matter.
I would say it's real. It been leaked for a reason, but it's not the full story. It's a summary report.
According to palmer report, John Mc Cain secured the document from a MI6 operative.
The Brits are fucking the Russians good.

(53,778 posts)Comey has been sitting on this info since early October, along with the rest of the gang of eight, mind you.
They all knew something was up but thought Hillary was sure to win.
Comey however, didn't want that to happen, thus his email letter in late October.
He knew trump was dirty as hell but opted to torpedoe Clinton to assure a trump win, which would lead to this with trump being exposed (I'm sure he had something to do with this being leaked just before his first presser in 6 months pun intended as Pence, his kind of uptight repug, is waiting in the wings to take over.
You see, he had to wait until after the election when trump was president-elect and impeachble.
Doing it before would have resulted in Clinton winning.
