U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies are looking at interceptions of both communications and financial transactions as part of “a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump,” according to a new report by the New York Times.
Citing former and current senior American officials, the Times said that Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is one of the Trump associates included in the investigation. Prior to his work with Mr. Trump, Manafort was an advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian Ukrainian politician.
Former Trump foreign policy advisor Carter Page is also a subject of the investigation, according to the report, as is longtime Republican strategist and longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone. Like Manafort, Stone was fired from the Trump campaign.

The CIA already knows the answer.
If there were true links to Russia, he wouldn't have been inaugurated today.
Nothing will come of this.

I'm sure you have a direct line to the CIA. I'll admit that from my couch I can't tell. I think I'll wait and see.

Before Nixon’s election, President Johnson said in a taped conversation, “I think it would shock America if a principal candidate was playing with a source like this on a matter of this importance. I don’t want to do that [go public]. They ought to know that we know what they’re doing. I know who they’re talking to. I know what they’re saying.”
Though Johnson personally spoke with Nixon about the Chennault issue, Nixon simply denied doing anything wrong and the peace stalemate continued through the final days of the campaign. On the day before the election, Johnson had one last chance to expose Nixon’s “treason” when the White House was asked by the Christian Science Monitor to respond to a Saigon-datelined article drafted by correspondent Beverly Deepe who had discovered the Republican obstruction from her South Vietnamese sources.
Johnson consulted with Rostow, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Clark Clifford in a Nov. 4 conference call. Those three pillars of the Washington Establishment were unanimous in advising Johnson against going public, mostly out of fear that the scandalous information might reflect badly on the U.S. government.
“Some elements of the story are so shocking in their nature that I’m wondering whether it would be good for the country to disclose the story and then possibly have a certain individual [Nixon] elected,” Clifford said. “It could cast his whole administration under such doubt that I think it would be inimical to our country’s interests.”
Johnson concurred with their judgment. An administration spokesman refused to confirm or deny the story, leading the Christian Science Monitor’s editors to spike Deepe’s scoop.

Hey... Maybe I'm wrong.
I just think that the CIA knows pretty much whatever the CIA wants to know. It's my belief that either they have nothing on Trump, or they do and they want Trump in office anyhow.
Meanwhile, this is a great talking point for years to come. Something to keep the proletariat fighting with each other while they go back to doing whatever they want to do when nobody is watching them. Of course the lefties are going to bite. They have tried everything else they could think of to stop this presidency and nothing worked. Now they're grasping at whatever straws they can find.

Quote:Obama could have stopped the FBI Director Comey from three times in a row accusing Hillary of being a criminal without proof enough to indict her, but Obama did not. Obama knew what was coming, yet he did not order Comey to stay out of the election.

A trio of researchers takes a broad look at the evidence that FBI Director James Comey affected the election. Their conclusion:
Quote:www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/1/11/14215930/comey-email-election-clint
The evidence is clear, and consistent, regarding the Comey effect. The timing of the shift both at the state and national levels lines up very neatly with the publication of the letter, as does the predominance of the story in the media coverage from the final week of the campaign. With an unusually large number of undecided voters late in the campaign, the letter hugely increased the salience of what was the defining critique of Clinton during the campaign at its most critical moment.
on-campaign
If it weren't for Obama refusing to kick Comey’s ass to the moon when Obama first heard from the Dept of Justice that Comey wrote a letter calling Hillary a criminal under investigation and was about to make the letter public knowledge, Hillary Clinton would have won the popular vote by about 6 points and the Electoral College by 70 or more.
Mr. No Drama Obama let Comey do as he pleased. The FBI is not separate from the Executive branch, unlike the Supreme Court and Congress. Obama had the authority to stop Comey. He just didn't have the guts to do it. It is very similar to President Johnson not having the guts to destroy candidate Nixon's reputation just before the election. Nixon got 43.4% of the vote to Humphrey's 42.7%. That was even closer than Trump vs Hillary. If President Johnson had the courage to reveal Nixon's lies before the election, he would have saved the USA a great deal of trouble.

I don't disagree with you about the results of the Comey back and forth. That's all very likely true.
He did have enough evidence to indite Hillary though. They just chose not to because they said there was no evidence she willingly and or knowingly was breaking the law. He essentially said before the General election that Hillary was guilty, but they weren't going to indite her. This is a double standard that very few people in the world live by. Comey even said in the same address that if anybody else does anything like it they will be punished and letting Hillary slide wasn't a free pass for everyone to break the law.

Quote:Just to clue you, 6ixStringJack, but Comey's position at the FBI does not give him any power to grant clemency or a "free pass" as you called it to Hillary for crimes she committed. Or to prosecute her. But Republican Comey can be the next J Edgar Hoover threatening a Democratic enemy -- Martin Luther King Jr.

You are marching yourself into the untenable position of defending Trump. But that's nothing new. That's what trolls do.
