U.S. Intelligence Chiefs Told President-Elect Trump That Russia Is Attempting to Compromise Him




CNN: Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him

(CNN)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.

The allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis that was appended to a report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The allegations came, in part, from memos compiled by a former British intelligence operative, whose past work US intelligence officials consider credible. The FBI is investigating the credibility and accuracy of these allegations, which are based primarily on information from Russian sources, but has not confirmed many essential details in the memos about Mr. Trump.

The classified briefings last week were presented by four of the senior-most US intelligence chiefs -- Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers.

Update: Intelligence chiefs briefed Trump and Obama on unconfirmed claims Russia has compromising information on president-elect (Washington Post).

WNU Editor: So we are we being told that multiple sources are leaking highly classified information to CNN and others that Russian operatives are claiming to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump .... but (not surprising) no evidence/proof/information/etc. is forthcoming. Just allegations from .... in the words of CNN .... "highly respected" sources .... namely .... a two page synopsis of  memos from a from British intelligence official who was hired to do opposition research for the  DNC/RNC on Donald Trump. The fact that it is Sen. McCain who brought this 2 page synopses report to the FBI .... a person who has always been at odds with President-elect Trump and whose credibility when it comes to Trump is questionable .... says volumes on the credibility of this report. Bottom line .... to say that I am highly sceptical of all of this .... especially since President-Elect Trump is going to be sworn in as President in 10 days .... is an understatement. But what is clear to me is that are are many people in Washington who are "scared shit" that President Trump is going to be President at the end of next week .... panic is another word that I would use .... and they are pulling all the stops right now to harm him politically before they are no longer in a position to do so.

Update: Hat tip to Jay for providing the following links ....

Update #3: Just read the 35 page report that claims President-Elect Trump was "cultivated, supported and assisted" by Russia. What's my take .... bizarre .... and what is even more bizarre is that major news organisations are pushing this as a major story tonight. Apparently this document was circulating all over Washington before the election, and everyone knew its content .... I would also guess the Clinton campaign was aware of it. But it appears that after reading it .... no one took it seriously .... including (I would guess) the Clinton campaign. But now .... 10 days before the inauguration .... this is occupying the news cycle. Someone told me tonight that this is beyond stupid .... he is 100% right.

Update #4: The best part of this report describes Donald Trump's sexual perversions when he was in Moscow .... yup .... sexual perversions (page 2, point #3).

Trump should hire Hillary as a consultant to learn how to take Russian $$$ without paying a political price for it.

Perverted sexual acts?


Really?

Well then name them.

We have seen so much gay, this gay that; people dying on farms, etc that what could shock us?

It would be gross, but it would not be shocking


Name it, prove it, or go home.

Wouldn't work.

Hillary didn't take any Russian money, the Clinton Foundation did, and used it for legally allowed charity functions.

Trump would have had to have the money sent to his Charities, but then he wouldn't have been able to use it as cash flow to keep his businesses running.
