Intel: Russia has Compromising info on Trump.

[DeadmanWalking]

Cnn is a fake news program

Translation "They say things that don't fit my political opinion."

What are the Russians paying you in US currency? I'm looking for a new job...

I should take a shot for every time someone calls a news source fake, I might be dead by the end of the day.

Its pretty funny that all the ones claiming this story is fake are all alt-reich people, which is the biggest purveyor of fake news out there. In fact that's all the alt-reich really do - spread lies.

[Slybak]

Maybe they have a tape of him admitting to sexual assault and mocking American POWs and Gold Star Mothers. Man, if conservatives ever found out that Trump did stuff like that....

[Paranoid Android]

Yeah the OP should just add a link to each site instead of just CNN, or else Trumpkins will just go "FAKE NEWS LOL WHAT DOES BREITBART SAY ABOUT THIS?"

You know how long I would have to wait for Fox News to verify this. I don't have all day/week/month/year/eternity.

Lets be perfectly honest people, he could go out and gun down a crowd and still become president, they're not going to stop it. HOWEVER for those flying the CNN flag, there are other news stories tickling some aspects of it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/u...s-brennan.html And as others have said, the news came from a non US agent.

In other words, Russia dealt a massive strike on the US political system and some people are still concern on the hiper-partisanship. No wonder Putin doesn't really care about the issue, he got it by the balls.

Yea, it should of never been 'HURRDURR DEMS CRYING', it should of been 'A non american force may of dabbled in american affairs, this should concern us to the point of looking into it'

[Paranoid Android]

Trump is so brilliant. Using this Russia news to distract from Sessions to distract from Meryl Streep distracting us from Jared Kushner

The thing to think about is, now that all the major intelligence agencies are looking into it what will they find? And what will they do with the information if they find something incredibly damning.

Big parts of the FBI are full on Trumpist but the other agencies aren't, and many in the NSA and CIA hate him due to his Putin lovefest. Its pretty obvious in the way they leaked this story to CNN. So even the agencies themselves sit on damning information about Trump its highly likely it'll be leaked anyway.

That's the video of Evan McMillan before the election clearly calling out the Trump Russia connection and CNN had to treat it like it was radioactive because it was an unconfirmed story.

[cubby]

Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.



Maybe the Chickens have come home to roost.

A foreign government could use this information to help persuade or influence a government official on policies.

Fan-fucking-tastic. Trump is out and now we get "let's shock gays into not being gay" Pence. Out of the pan, into the fire.

Be more concerned with media, once a reporter gets a juicy bone they gnaw at it until they crack that sucker open to get the marrow inside. Govt agencies are prone to hiding details to 'conserve the democratic way of life' but reporters entire existence revolves around being the first to break the story publicly.

LOL this i great watching the left contort themselves over every headline about Trump. And we have another 8 years of this to look forward to.

"One reason the nation's intelligence chiefs took the extraordinary step of including the synopsis in the briefing documents was to make the President-elect aware that such allegations involving him are circulating among intelligence agencies, senior members of Congress and other government officials in Washington, multiple sources tell CNN".

Key point is bolded. Does anyone seriously think that if there was anything out there about Trump that we wouldn't have heard about it before the election? Clinton had a whole army of sycophants dedicated to dig up dirt on Trump, is anyone suggesting they couldn't find this? But a bunch of B Grade Russian hackers could?

CNN has reviewed a 35-page compilation of the memos, from which the two-page synopsis was drawn. The memos originated as opposition research, first commissioned by anti-Trump Republicans, and later by Democrats. At this point, CNN is not reporting on details of the memos, as it has not independently corroborated the specific allegations. But, in preparing this story, CNN has spoken to multiple high ranking intelligence, administration, congressional and law enforcement officials, as well as foreign officials and others in the private sector with direct knowledge of the memos.

I think that this, in itself, is enough to take this with a grain of salt.

Don't get me wrong, again, the more transparency, the better.

I just feel that this is a smearing campaing by the anti-Trump circle (note how I didn't say democrats here).

Are you open to the idea that the allegations might be true - and if corroborated Trump might be well and truly fucked?

... You.. you do realize there are members of the Right looking into this too right? And don't pretend ones like you aren't just sticking your fingers in your ears and blaming the left for everything that may make your glorious leader look bad. He's a human being, he makes mistakes too.

I'm not sure that everything out there could be found. And Trump was never vetted the way other presidential candidate are - no one took him seriously until he got the nomination and no one thought he would win until he did.

If they are circulating the intelligence agencies that is much different than just floating around DNC headquarters.

The Mi6 agent was hired by the right to investigate Trumps Russia ties. I know, I know, you heard something that goes against your opinion but it will be okay, shhhhhhh, it'll be okay...

[Mehrunes]

really cnn the same people who used a screenshot from fallout 4 as evidence for russian hacking really? lol

@Yvaelle already covered this in detail, but I want to emphasize a thing he didn't state outright: at no point was that picture claimed to be evidence. Sometimes a background picture is a background picture (and as to why, read said post by Yvaelle).

I once knew a polish billionaire, during the communist regime in Poland he ran a bed spring company and literally hid the profits in the mattresses in his warehouse from the Russians. When communism left Poland he took his wife on a world wide cruise and upon entering France he spent two weeks in a French mafia whore house, and he bragged to me if getting a BJ from a child. I personally was disgusted but this is typical of people like Trump, to go somewhere where they can get away with child sex. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Out of curiosity, was this person already a billionaire before the fall of communism?

[Machismo]

The American public has tons of compromising information on Trump, but millions of them just don't care. Seriously, what could actually come out, that would stop his legion of zealots from supporting him?

The guy hid his taxes, which showed he didn't pay any, his supporters cheered him for it.

The guy personally admitted to sexual assault on tape, his supporters didn't hardly flinch.

More than a dozen women come forward to corroborate what Trump actually said, his supporters threatened to kill those women.

Trump said sexist and misogynistic things about many women, people cheered him on.

Trump bankrupted businesses and screwed over thousands of people, his supporters call him a great businessman.

Trump made fun of a handicapped man, his supporters loved it.

Trump called for his supporters to turn violent, they obliged.

Trump race baited like a motherfucker, his supporters just said that he was speaking for them.

It does not matter what information you find, his supporters won't care. His popularity is based on willful ignorance... so no amount of evidence or facts will sway people like that.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

I am open to it. Again, the more transparency, the better.

I doubt this would have any impact on Trump. As he'll be president of the United States in ten days, that will make him immune to these allegations. I certainly want it exposed, though, if that is true. We need people who watch and call out the people up there, they shouldn't have the leisure of standing immune in their ivory tower.

However, due to the timing and which camp push this narrative, I have a hard time grasping what exactly could be true and what is artificially inflated.
