Innocent people don’t behave this way’: Ex-CIA agents explain how the Trump-Russia collusion probably went down

Penning an op-ed for the New York Times aptly titled, “Oh, Wait. Maybe It Was Collusion,” former chief of station for the CIA John Sipher and former CIA chief of Russian operations Steve Hall argue not only was the Russian government “running some sort of intelligence operation involving the Trump campaign, but also that it is impossible to rule out the possibility of collusion between the two.”

Pointing to their combined years of experience with the CIA, the pair note Russian intelligence probably launched a “multilayered” attack on the 2016 presidential campaign “as well as an effort to recruit insiders to help them over time.”

“The two are not mutually exclusive,” they say.

“Donald Trump himself made numerous statements in support of Russia, Russian intelligence and WikiLeaks during the campaign. At the same time, Mr. Trump and his team have gone out of their way to hide contacts with Russians and lied to the public about it.”


They have not only lied to the public, they have steadily lied on their government disclosure forms. Every time a new meeting with Russians is revealed we get the

1/deny it happened
2/yes we met but we did not talk about that
3/well that was brought up, but we did not participate in that talk
4/trust us that is all
5/What we did wasn't illegal
6/trump tweets something outrageous and media flocks to the shiny thing


How many times have we been through this now? 6,7,8? more?

Kushner got stolen property aka the hacked files from the DNC and HRC computers.

The Russian attorney, Veselnitskaya*, who was working for the company that used high
end NYC real estate to launder Russian mob money got some kind of deal done that
after the election to have the DoJ drop charges against that company. And that
deal went down last May thanx to Jeff Sessions.

BTW My take on the Don Jr's June 2016 meeting w/the Russians
is that the deal was that they would let Russia crooks keep laundering
their dirty money in NYC real estate if Putin and company would help
to rig the election(s).

... Kushner, Sessions, or D. TRump gave up to Putin?

It was an act of war by a hostile foreign power.

It was a coup.

We had treason and the Trump campaign and many republicans went right along
with it. How did McConnell know that after the election he would have a different
person to vote for for the SCOTUS?
