    Default NPR Coverage of Trump's Press Conference

    I see that CNN has determined that Michael Cohen was not in Prague secretly meeting with the Russians...

    Appears there was in fact a M Cohen was in Prague on that date...but different person same name...Although it would be easy for him to go to the local FBI office sit down and explain exactly where he was....

    There is though some indications that it was actually the correct Cohen and his passport photo was a stunt.....

    No, there are no indications, and even The Observer tried to backtrack and claim that Cohen didn't have to physically meet the Russians to be in contact. The Interpreter also craps all over this claim.

    Azor...even your recital of 20@committee presentation is wrong...go back and thoroughly this time reread the article...you might actually have a different assumption at the end of what he wrote....

    You thoroughly do not fully and completely understand just how especially HUMINT is gathered....written up and then processed inside the intel chain of analysis....

    I will give you something that in the end was verified by national level agencies much to their surprise and for which I got laughed at all the way up the national intel chain...that laughter was heard all the way back to Berlin and I had to grin and bear it.....but that is the way HUMINT sometimes works...sometimes you win some and sometimes who lose some....

    I once wrote a report taken from a local farmer...country remains unnamed....who in my conversations about farming life and farmer shortages suddenly started rambling about a train silver in color that would race through his village on unannounced days usually around 0200/0300 in the morning making so much noise due to the speed that he could not sleep...that was what he was complaining about......well there was a rail line near his house for starters but listed as largely unused...but at least a rail line .....BTW..largely listed as unused but in great condition for an unused line which was strange at that time thus the report..

    Well up went the report of this "unidentified silver bullet train traveling on an unused rail line" single report.....from Berlin to DC they thought I had lost my mind....but what is said is reported in the HUMINT business...

    After several months the laughter died out BUT six months later I get an urgent call from the DC analysts ..can you recontact the farmer and ask the following additional questions...l.....

    Appears that the bullet train was in fact the Soviet mobile rail launched ICBM system that Russia has now put back into service and I had stumbled by accident onto the rail line being used at that time...then the train was in fact verified and was actually silver in color....DC was no longer laughing....

    REFERENCE this Buzzfeed report...in the HUMINT business one must report what is heard and or stated....letting others confirm or deny...

    HUMINT is so important....why...satellites and SIGINT cannot tell you what is behind door four on the fifth underground floor of a bunker complex....nor what officers say during exercise discussions or what is being produced in a side factory located nowhere on a map...behind three other factories.....

    THIS report is interesting because in fact what is being reported has not been actually denied as having occurred nor has it be confirmed.......

    Will give you a hint...sometimes that even happens with a polygraph test....we cannot tell if he is lying or telling the truth....and you are forced to make a judgment call based largely on your years of experience in this business.

    Or as the Navy tells aircraft pilots on their last seconds of the carrier approach..."call the ball"...meaning it is all yours now....you make the call that is what you are paid for.....

    It all depends on the quality of the sources being used.....

    Azor..this caught my attention as it goes to what I have been virtually preaching to you....the WHY was it included.....?

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

    CHECK the highlighted para.....

    Reporters from various news outlets also had sought confirmation of the information with Rick Wilson, a GOP strategist, but he hadn’t seen a copy of the document before Tuesday and denied passing any copies to U.S. intelligence.

    “Many, many, many (people saw the report) in recent months because it’s a small enough circle of people and reporters and others are running into each other and crossing trails as they went through this thing,” Wilson#said Wednesday.

    The U.S. official with knowledge of the matter confirmed Wednesday that McCain gave material to the FBI. The same documents, however, had been in the possession of the bureau months before McCain's contact, said the official who is not authorized to comment publicly.

    Authorities have been examining the information since it was first obtained, but the official said that the salacious contents of it have remained unsubstantiated. As authorities became aware of the raw document's widening circulation and the imminent possibility that could be made public, top officials decided to include the summary as an appendix to the packet compiled to brief the president-elect on Russia's efforts to influence the U.S. election.

    "These presidential briefings are always evolving and changing based on who occupies the office,'' said former FBI assistant director Ron Hosko. "But I think there is a naivete on the part of the public and press about the kind of influence campaigns that countries like Russia and China are pursuing. These are nation states who are all about getting an advantage in our world. Even if this information is unsubstantiated, it ought to be included (in a briefing) as something that could be used against a president.''
    NOTICE the following formulation....

    Authorities have been examining the information since it was first obtained, but the official said that the salacious contents of it have remained unsubstantiated

    THIS tells me one clear and concise point...everything outside of the sex tape/tapes WAS in fact substantiated....

    BUT somehow that got overlooked by Trump and his staff did it not????

    BTW...this below is what I have been trying to get you to fully understand....comment from social media here in Europe....

    I personally feel my walls of paranoia just crumbled & I changed to believers camp.

    FOX & friends

    @foxandfriends
    EXCLUSIVE: Rudy Giuliani announces he's forming a cyber security group on behalf of Trump administration

    THIS is the same exact Giuliani that announced before the FBI did that the FBI has going to reinvestigate Clinton..did he not AND the same Giuliani who "knew" about the WikiLeaks email dump that was coming but no one else knew about it....

    AND the same Giuliani what then stated he knew the Russians had not been hacking the US and the DNC.....

    This is the same Giuliani right?????

    The US has no censorship of the press and has freedom of press right?????

    Trump employees were peaking over reporters' shoulders and checking their notes today.
