US Officials: Info suggests Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians
Source: CNN
The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.
This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, according to one source.
The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.
In his statement on Monday Comey said the FBI began looking into possible coordination between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives because the bureau had gathered "a credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."

(218 posts)After reading about Rex and how he'd never met Cheeto-lini, I had to ask myself, "Why Rex?"
And then it hit me like a hammer-- he was awarded a medal of honor by Putin.
Could Rex be Putin's choice???
Am I thinking too hard? But doesn't that make sense?
not fooled
(5,801 posts)Tillerson was installed as SoS to facilitate getting rid of sanctions imposed on Russia by President Obama because of the invasion of Crimea, so that dump's puppetmaster Putin can sell his oil on the world market. Also, to help develop those reserves including in the Arctic.
Truly evil.
Tillerson is also on board with Putin's plan to weaken diplomacy including the State Department.
IMPEACH NOW!

All the President's men must now be dreaming about a nice, cozy dacha on the outskirts of St. Petersburg instead of the inside of a federal supermax.

(92,396 posts)rewrite the narrative saying that "we should be thanking the Russians" for exposing the activities of the Democratic party"
It will end up not being about the Russians interfering with our election, or the Trump campaign working with them to coordinate that, but to sell the garbage that it was actually a good thing.
We also know these activities occurred on many fronts, including the planting misinformation:

(43,286 posts)publicly asking - in full public view - the Russians to hack HRC's emails and release them
to the public might be an attempt to 'coordinate' timing and release?
Holy Cow, when is anyone going to wake up about this?
