Crucial intel on Russia's interference in US elections came from a country US was reluctant to trust. Ukraine?

Among obstacles Obama faced in making Russia's operation public: GOP. Leaders didn't want interference by *feds* & didn't believe the intel.
NOTICE that there are more proTrump supporters WHO do not believe that Russia was involved in this hacking and continued influence operations...

Sean Hannity just now: Trump's tweet about Comey tapes and his tweets today were brilliant....Trump's tweets kept Comey honest he says.
NOTE
Trump brags about lying on Twitter to influence Comey’s sworn testimony
Trump admits he purposely misled the public about#“tapes.”

@FoxNews
.@PressSec: "By talking about something like tapes made Comey in particular think to himself 'I better be honest, I better tell the truth.'"
In Trump’s last interview more than a month ago on NBC, he admitted to firing former FBI Director James Comey because of his annoyance with an active investigation into his campaign.
NOTICE...ALL the same talking point....

Does Everything That Donald Trump Touches Die?

Months after talking up Carrier, Ford, and Boeing, all three companies are cutting jobs.
Interestingly Trump tweeted like crazy over his "success" at keeping them from laying off employees and in the case of Ford moving an entire factory line to Mexico...BUT now they are moving it to China......
NOW Trump is totally silent...WHERE are his tweets now?..smothered in his dodging of Russian connections....???
Trump is playing a dangerous game and he seems to know it...in his release via tweets, the WH press conference and his Fox interview he "believes" he answered the House Intel Committee demand for his alleged "tapes"...
He somehow "feels" a verbal response is all that is needed.....
BUT WAIT....the leading Republican and leading Democrat have informed him they need his response in WRITING......WHY...if one really reads Trumps comments then he basically is stating there was not a Comey tape BUT he did not outright deny the existence of other "tapes"....THEY are calling his bluff or is it a bluff and do tapes actually exist WHICH is what the committee believes to be the fact???
WHY do they believe other tapes exist...because Trump has a history of recording everything .....
With Trump his "metamessage" meaning exactly what words has he left out that is the most important point when dealing with Trump...
Appears that the Russian diplomats who were tossed out and their two compounds closed were deeply involved in spying as correctly assumed by Obama...
Russians destroyed and removed material from shuttered compounds, officials say
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/russians...officials-say/
So exactly why is Trump personally some intent in giving them back to Russia as a sign of good faith??
OR is it quid pro quo.....
Some choice tweets (now deleted) by Trump's latest Dept. of Energy appointment. No other President would hire him.

EXCLUSIVE: @JackPosobiec's boasts of NSA hackers and corrupt FBI agents on Weiner and emails
https://patribotics.blog/2017/06/23/...d-comeys-hand/
NOTE...Posobiec is a well known alt rightist ie white nationalist proTrump twitter supporter with extremely close ties to Russian trolling bots and openly supported the Wikileaks email dump on the French President Marcon in his support to Le Pen and her Front National a neo Nazi party....and has close ties to a critical individual who was behind the DNC hacking that the FBI is investigating.....
The Carolina Conspiracy: Jack Posobiec, Kirstin Winfree, and the fake “Miranda Crowley”
Quote:
On May 18th, an Air Force One Group Gulfstream GV landed at Charlotte, North Carolina. This is the kind of plane that normally transports Cabinet members. It is not known who was on the plane.
On May 20th, Anthony Weiner pled to a count of sexting with a girl who had not obtained 16 years old at the time of the offense.
On May 22nd, the Hill reprinted a story from WhoWhatWhy.com to following effect:
The teenage girl who had exchanged sexually explicit text messages with former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) lied about her age and political motivations to harm Democratic presidential nominee#Hillary Clinton, according to a report by the investigative news site#WhoWhatWhy.
In a report published#Monday, the website said the girl who exchanged the messages with Weiner was closer to 17 and not 15, as initial reports said. That also puts her above the age of consent in North Carolina, which is 16.
DID this "catfish" operation between proTrump alt rightist and Russian hackers ACTUALLY contribute to force Comey into his second Clinton email notice of investigation that then contributed to a possible Clinton loss as the Comey notification came late into the election cycle....AND it has been proven by polling to have acutally impacted the election.....regardless of what Trump tweets....Quote:
“Miranda Crowley” And the “Russian Hackers”
Before the election, innumerable social media profiles featuring the pictures of different girls were set up by hackers and social engineers in the name of “Miranda Crowley” showing a sophisticated effort to set up a completely fake person online with a hinterland of friends and relatives who also proved to be fake.
WHO said the Russian influence operations stopped...they are today still ongoing and deep....especially in their use of the proTrump alt right ie white nationalist social media and blogsites.......including now FOX News
