New York Times: F.B.I. Warned Hope Hicks About Emails From Russian Operatives
WASHINGTON — F.B.I. officials warned one of President Trump’s top advisers, Hope Hicks, earlier this year about repeated attempts by Russian operatives to make contact with her during the presidential transition, according to people familiar with the events.
The Russian outreach efforts show that, even after American intelligence agencies publicly accused Moscow of trying to influence the outcome of last year’s presidential election, Russian operatives were undaunted in their efforts to establish contacts with Mr. Trump’s advisers.
There is no evidence that Ms. Hicks did anything improper. According to former officials, American intelligence and law enforcement agencies became alarmed by introductory emails that Ms. Hicks received from Russian government addresses in the weeks after Mr. Trump’s election.

WNU Editor: The big story is not that Russian officials were trying to contact Trump aide Hope Hicks .... the big story is that U.S. counter-intelligence officials knew what was inside Ms. Hicks email account.
Who?
ReplyDeleteaccording to "people familiar"
Again who?
According to "former officials"
"after American intelligence agencies publicly accused Moscow"
The agencies did not publicly accuse, "former officials" did, former officials who were political appointees.
When?
" repeated attempts by Russian operatives to make contact with her during the presidential transition" where is the evidence of this and why is this even alarming?
Statement by the "paper of record"
"There is no evidence that Ms. Hicks did anything improper"
The e mails were:
"introductory emails that Ms. Hicks received from Russian government addresses in the weeks after Mr. Trump’s election."
Why is this alarming?
This is a so called alarm for fools and fools will be alarmed.
As WNU has stated " the big story is that U.S. counter-intelligence officials knew what was inside Ms. Hicks email account."
At all times we must remember Pres. Trump is the real victim.

Anon,
ReplyDeleteThe American people are the victim.
- We voted for the wall.
- We voted for not Hillary according to the rules of the game (the electoral college). If the rules had been simple majority, the campaigns would have spent money differently.
- We voted against someone, who destroyed her various computers and had set up a private server to handle confidential and higher emails.
- We are against people like Comey, who caught Cheryl Mills and others in a lie and decided not to charge them with a process crime.
Samantha Power is not the only dude that can have fun.
You now have what some of you voted for! tired of winning?
ReplyDeleteElecting Trump is like turning a steering and then you find out the inner tie rod end is broke, Comey, and the outer tier rod end is broke, Mueller. You find out that things are going to get worse before they get better because so many people are corrupt.
ReplyDeleteFred,
How many Blackberries and computers have you destroyed?
If you had Blackberries and computers the FBI had subpeonas for, would you destroy them post haste?
