New Documents Show Obama Officials, FBI Coordinated in Anti-Trump Probe

[BobBalouski]

Documents obtained by congressional investigators suggest possible coordination by Obama White House officials, the CIA and the FBI into the investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign. Those senior Obama officials used unsubstantiated evidence to launch allegations in the media that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia during the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, according to newly discovered documents and communications obtained by Congress.

The documents also reveal that former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, sent a letter on Aug. 29, 2016, asking then FBI Director James Comey to investigate the allegations, which were presented to him by then CIA Director John Brennan. Brennan had briefed Reid privately days earlier on the counterintelligence investigation and documents suggest Reid was also staying in close touch with Comey over the issues. The Gang of Eight is a group of eight lawmakers who have access to the most highly classified information and often meet on Capitol Hill to be briefed on classified material.

The documents, which include text messages from embattled FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page, also reveal that former Obama White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was involved in the initial investigation into Trump’s campaign. Comey, Brennan and McDonough the “highest-ranking officials at the FBI, CIA and White House” were working in concert to ensure an investigation was initiated, congressional members told this reporter.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Rick Gates, the campaign aide, told an attorney for a U.S. law firm that a Russian national they worked with in Ukraine was a former military intelligence officer, according to the filing late Tuesday in Washington federal court.

Both Gates and the lawyer, Alex van der Zwaan, have pleaded guilty as part of Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the election. Gates spent a decade working for Paul Manafort, the indicted former Trump campaign chairman, as a political consultant in Ukraine.

The filing identifies the ex-spy only as Person A. The description of him by prosecutors as a person living in Moscow and Kiev who worked with Manafort and Gates in Ukraine matches that of Konstantin Kilimnik, their former colleague. Kilimnik has declined to comment on whether he was Person A.

FBI agents, working with Mueller’s office, "assess that Person A has ties to a Russian intelligence service and had such ties in 2016,” according to the filing.

Everyone already knows they did. Further proof only causes the partisans reason to dig in and fight to protect their own no matter what they do (unless they momentarily get on some sort of virtue signaling bandwagon like #metoo). So all you're going to see is a frantic flurry of, "It's not TRUE! It's all FOX lies!"
