AND for those that do not want to really believe it...yes we are at war....
One of the best write ups on the core Russian state sponsored hacking group with ties to SVR/GRU...who was and still is behind major power grid attack and the DNC attack...

Why exposing Putin's wealth would be Obama's best revenge, writes @SSestanovich

Trump didn't pay a penny in taxes, used his charity as a personal slush fund, and it didn't stick. Do you think the Russian SVR/GRU are idiots?

TO those Trump commenters that supported him because he "is smart and knows hacking"......

Wanna appear REALLY knowledgeable? Drop the R in GRU. These days, it's simply called the GU (Glavnoye Upravleniye)
http://structure.mil.ru/structure/mi...gOrganization#

EXAMPLE....real story that Trump and his advisor of his do not know about the GU....

In the late 70s and early 80s....in the International Herald Tribune the leading American English speaking European newspaper had a series of ads published on a reoccurring basis......for over a one year period

The ad was basic....stated they were looking for paid researchers for specific projects and one had to speak English.....

When one replied it was to a Post Box in Lichtenstein.....if one replied then ne would get a nice letter indicating their interest and what could you suggest for research topics...and they wanted more information on yourself...age....any military experience....education level and any other language abilities and where located in Europe...they were looking for individuals in W Berlin and other major German cities....located near US military bases.....

Then at some point you get a nice letter in the mail coupled with a nice used 50 USD bills usually no more than 3000 USDs and asking you will you are interested in working deeper...with a contact telephone number which if one looked it up was in E Berlin......

Some might say this was a GDR Stasi recruitment attempt..but behind the German voice on the phone was the nicest of Soviet GRU officers you will ever met.....

SO exactly how many young Americans in Europe answered that ad....and were studying aboard during that period AND never reported to US authorities when they returned to the US the recruitment attempts????

So the Trump advisor saying that in tossing out 35 Russian GRU/SVR spies is
inappropriate ABSOLUTELY does not know what he is talking about and that includes Trump himself...

First Trump suddenly claims via a tweet that he was far smarter when it comes to hacking than say myself who is in this business and he was going to "reveal what others did not now on Tuesday and or Wednesday"......

Two contrasting viewpoints on Trump and intelligence. First from Lawfare, so an American author and the Editor's note:

Editor’s Note: The incoming administration's scorn for intelligence professionals is a matter of grave concern to many of us at Lawfare. I, for one, worry that the administration will conduct its foreign policy without understanding the dynamics of foreign governments, their attempts to mislead us, and emerging threats like cyber subversion. Joshua Rovner, a scholar of intelligence at Southern Methodist University, makes me even more concerned. He takes the long view, going beyond the potential for short-term policy catastrophe to explain the long tradition of policymaker suspicion of intelligence and the many potential negative consequences for the intelligence community.

I do rather like this passage:

New leaders sometimes view intelligence agencies as bureaucratic obstacles—or worse. Intelligence agencies control secret information, and well-timed leaks can undermine policymakers’ plans or damage their political careers. The fear of intelligence subversion is not entirely unwarranted, given the history of intelligence in the United States and elsewhere. As a matter of self-preservation, presidents and their advisors may prefer to keep intelligence at arm’s length.

Next from India by a professional SME and a "taster":

Like Trump, Richard Nixon also came to be the president without reading any of CIA’s Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) during transition.

Where is Slapout when you need his comments....

There are 100,000+ professional journalists in US. MAYBE *5* are chasing down Trump-Putin collaboration

When the Russian mobster who made Trump president messages you on LinkedIn...

Felix Sater tweeted the author and stated the things you are writing about me are qwrong if you scatch deeper.....wished him and his Family a good Christmas and a NY....highly unusal for a so called Russian investor to do this and not massively push back....and not a subtle threat????

Felix Sater started funneling Russian money to Trump in 2000-when US banks stopped loaning to Trump

Here is New York Times reporting the $12.7 M "off the books" payment from Putin to Trump campaign CEO and not one debate question about this
AUGUST 14 2016

Manafort is still advising Trump-media completely botched following up on his $12M Ukraine ledger payment

Ivanka vacationed with Putins gf this summer. I am still trying to find confirmation that Manafort visited S. Korea Dec/16

Paul Manafort also lives in Trump Tower–again, none of this is a coincidence

Did Manafort pay for his Trump Tower digs with dirty Russian money he was accused of laundering into US real estate?

NOTICE it went extremely quiet for Manafort after the Ukrainian payments were made public ......
After these announcements the Trump campaign stated Manafort was no longer working for them BUT after the election they stated he was still working for them.....

Busted along with Trump partner for sex trafficking–Soviet-born money launderer, major Trump investor, Maskevich

Israeli paper ran a detailed investigation on the sex trafficking ring (Russian, underage) Trump's partner ran

Fugitive Russian mobster Aruif Trump denied knowing was busted for running an illegal gambling, money laundering ring right out of Trump Tower when arresgted by the FBI he had the telephone numbers of Trump and Trump's main Office on him....

Russian mobster/Trump BFF Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov who ran a gambling operation out of Trump Tower.

Meanwhile Tevfik Arik–Putin's pal who brought Trump millions of dollars–was busted in Turkey for running an underage prostitution

KEY NOTES.....
Trump's other partners on SoHo deal? Putin pals Tevfik Arif, ex Deputy Head Soviet Ministry of Commerce and a Soviet emigre, Tamir

Now Sapir sold electronics to KGB agents from his Manhattan storefront and his business partner also happens to be tight with Putin

Kazakh-born Soviet official turned real estate tycoon, Tevfik Arif ran Bayrock/Sapir out of Trump Tower.

Sater worked for him.

Here is Trump with Felix Sater at opening of Trump SoHo which was built with Russian money, brought to Trump by none other than Sater

NOTE.......
Trump denied knowing this person who helped bring millions of Russian dollars to him and is suspected by FBI of being a Russian spy.....
Sergei Millian.......Head of the Russian American Chamber of Commerce....
