    Fake source calls intelligence authorities for their "fake evidence". Why not.

    Alleged Russian Hacker ‘Guccifer 2.0’ Is Back After Months Of Silence

    http://motherboard.vice.com/read/all...ths-of-silence


    "I’d like to make it clear enough that these accusations are unfounded. I have totally no relation to the Russian government. I’d like to tell you once again I was acting in accordance with my personal political views and beliefs,” Guccifer 2.0 wrote. “The technical evidence contained in the reports doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. This is a crude fake.”
    Russian hacker claiming to be Romanian who yet cannot speak Romanian telling the US he is not Russia and telling the US IC that YES he did hack DNC..BUT yet he is not Russian nor works for GRU.....

    Interesting the Russians roll him out to support Trump's view on the 400lb kiddie hacker on his bed hacking DNC....

    Azor...and there is absolutely no connections between Trump and his staff and Russians.....?????

    Steele got it right.....why is it strange to think otherwise....I once had an excellent HUMINT trainer who had served as a German Army intelligence officer (LT) on the East Front during WW2 (he was part of the Gehlen intelligence group who later formed the German BND) who when I asked him something that sounded strange...his reply...."what do you think"...meaning his view is that the human is capable of a lot of things and if I the huminter felt that it was possible write it up because 9 out of 10 times it will be correct and the one time being wrong is acceptable in the humint business....

    Wow, the Post's David Ignatius on Flynn and the Russians.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini....ae8d7e453fff#

    REMEMBER Flynn is not yet officially a representative of the US government nor is Trump yet ...YET both he and Trump act as if they are now running the government....

    What kompromat?

    BREAKING: Hungarian model tells of how @realDonaldTrump tried to seduce her in 2013 - in Moscow

    In Hungarian
    http://444.hu/2016/11/19/donald-trum...ni-sarka-katat

    Note that the model, Kata Sarka, told her story back in May, long before

    Trump kompromat was a Thing....seems credible

    Wasn't Trump just telling the world he's totally aware of how Russian hotel rooms are wired so be a good boy? Was I imagining that?

    So either Trump is a pathological liar (very possible) or he knowingly makes sex videos for the FSB. No 3rd option anymore

    THERE is in fact a 2013 video by Trump himself explaining his ties to Putin...REMEMBER he kept denying he had any ties to Putin during the election...this video was released AFTER the 2013 alleged Hungarian model encounter

    All the M. Steep bashing tweets...the LL Bean support/sales tweets and the bashing of the IC tweets and calling the Buzzfeed trash tweets are nothing more that a bad attempt to deflect from the real story of his compromising by the Russian FSB....

    Azor...now I am more than convinced the bulk of the materials released are valid....his sources were largely business types and that explains the look and feel that the access of the individuals reporting had and seems they were involved in actual conversations and or near ongoing conversations where they could overhear information...common for HUMINT collection.....

    BUT this below seals the accuracy of the memo's...if he handled as a MI6 case officer this particular cross over Russian high level agent then the MI6 placed him into a different league....only the best in this business handle such high level cross overs....
    But West did say that Steele is not dispassionate when it comes to Vladimir Putin, noting that he was the MI6 case office for former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko, who was fatally poisoned with radiation in 2006 after seeking asylum in the United Kingdom.

    BLUF....NOW APPEARS Trump and his group are going to rewrite the US IC Russian hacking report???????
    APPEARS he evidently lied at his own press conference when he stated he had accepted the IC report on Russian hacking....

    Concerns the individual behind the recently 17 raw humint intelligence report on Trump

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...cid=spartanntp


    The former British intelligence agent at the center of the maelstrom over a 35-page dossier about Donald Trump and the Russians is named Christopher Steele, but an ex-colleague refers to him by a more familiar moniker.

    "He's James Bond," said Nigel West, the intelligence historian and spy-novel author. "I actually introduced him to my wife as James Bond."
    Like the movie character, the 52-year-old Steele attended Cambridge University, where he was president of the Cambridge Union Debating Society.

    He was recruited by the Secret Intelligence Service, Britain's counterpart to the CIA, better known as MI6, right out of university, West said.

    He was posted to Moscow in the early 1990s and then Paris, according to people who knew him at the time. One of his more recent responsibilities was running a course for new agents, West said. About eight years ago, he left Her Majesty's service and co-founded his own security firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, with partner Christopher Burrows.

    Unlike James Bond, Steele wasn't a household name — until he burst into the public consciousness this week after being unmasked as the author of a sensational, unverified report commissioned and circulated by unknown clients opposed to Trump.

    Steele — described as a compact, clean-cut man with an intense manner — has not commented on the uproar that was unleashed when media outlets reported the dossier had been presented to both Trump and President Obama and, in one case, published the document.

    But those who know Steele or his work say that the widowed father of three children enjoyed a reputation as a meticulous professional among current and former members of the intelligence community.

    "He's a squared-away guy," said former senior CIA officer John Sipher, who was posted to Russia in the 1990s and helped manage its efforts against Moscow before retiring in 2014.

    To some, the dossier's errors and far-out claims stand in stark contrast to Steele's usual approach to intelligence-gathering. West noted that only one intelligence officer was listed as a direct source.
    "Nobody is saying he believes in any of this," West said. "What he was hired to do was write a series of reports based on info he could glean from his contacts. His contacts are very good but they're more in the business community than the intel community."
    "He's highly professional, very effective," West added. "He's an impressive individual, knows a lot of the people about whom he speaks — but he's got to earn a living like the rest of us."

    But West did say that Steele is not dispassionate when it comes to Vladimir Putin, noting that he was the MI6 case office for former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko, who was fatally poisoned with radiation in 2006 after seeking asylum in the United Kingdom.
    "He feels very strongly that the Putin Kremlin tore up the rule book and the convention by which intelligence agencies do not attack each other's personnel," West said of Steele."He also feels passionately about what you'd call the Kremlin kleptocracy. He doesn't believe there is a business deal in the past 10 years that has been legit."

    *After* housing bubble burst, Putin pal severely overpays Trump for mansion–then never moves in

    Trump denied the deal, then admitted it. The mansion was itself was purchased for Putin pal via a front group. Why?

    BTW....the UK has recently passed a law requiring the registering of who exactly purchases property and then does not move in as the Russians were pouring billions of USDs into UK luxury real estate and then never moving in...was the core element on Russian money laundering of black money...most of the UK purchases were being done via off shore unregistered accounts....

    Tracking the dirty money is hugely time consuming, expensive-few newsrooms have the budget for this

    During negotiations to finance Trump Florida properties, Kriss alleges Bayrock favored Putin-backed Russians over Icelandic competitors

    Bayrock, headed by Russian mobster Sater and former Soviet official, Arif pumped hundreds of millions into Trump

    Trump never opened up his taxes. He has 96 LLCs and shell companies-none release audited financial statements

    The lawsuit names Trump as a “material witness” in evasion of taxes on as much as $250 million in income, and laundering $ to Russia.

    Tax fraud case NY AG greenlighted notes that Trump did not report tens of millions he got from Bayrock on his tax returns

    What's more astonishing than Russian money backing half-baked Bayrock-Trump projects? Intricate maze of companies involved in the scheme.

    Ethics Chief Critical of Trump. Now House Committee Boss Threatens to Investigate Ethics Office-Perhaps Shut it Down
    https://nyti.ms/2iqziBd

    He was concerned the OGE sent Trump a tweet directly because Trump and his staff were not replying to OGE emails....so they reached out via twitter

    Maybe the good Congressman should read some of the postings above concerning Trump/Russian money deals....
