THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Fife]

FAKE KERNING Mr. Rather. Rated 43.9 Courics.

A private firm hired by Clinton donors to "investigate" Trump, unsubstantiated "report" now being passed off by liberals as if it is "MI6!"? Sounds pretty fake newsy alright.

A classified report delivered to President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump last week included a section summarizing allegations that Russian intelligence services have compromising material and information on Trump’s personal life and finances, U.S. officials said.

The officials said that U.S. intelligence agencies have not corroborated those allegations, but believed that the sources involved in the reporting were credible enough to warrant inclusion of their claims in the highly classified report on Russian interference in the presidential campaign.

Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago.

On the same day that the President-elect was briefed by the intelligence community, the top four Congressional leaders, and chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees -- the so-called "Gang of Eight" -- were also provided a summary of the memos regarding Mr. Trump, according to law enforcement, intelligence and administration sources.

The two-page summary was written without the detailed specifics and information about sources and methods included in the memos by the former British intelligence official. That said, the synopsis was considered so sensitive it was not included in the classified report about Russian hacking that was more widely distributed, but rather in an annex only shared at the most senior levels of the government: President Obama, the President-elect, and the eight Congressional leaders.

CNN has also learned that on December 9, Senator John McCain gave a full copy of the memos -- dated from June through December, 2016 -- to FBI Director James Comey. McCain became aware of the memos from a former British diplomat who had been posted in Moscow. But the FBI had already been given a set of the memos compiled up to August 2016, when the former MI6 agent presented them to an FBI official in Rome, according to national security officials.

The Trump loyalist said he was in Los Angeles celebrating his 50th birthday with his wife and son during the late summer timeframe when the document claimed he was supposedly hobnobbing with the Russians at a secret meeting overseas.

"I've never been to Prague," Cohen told Mic, later going on to make the same assertion in a tweet accompanied by a photo of a passport:

A Clinton spokesman couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

If all this fake news is fake news

does anything change?

I can't picture it changing, I see this as the new normal

Just reading that "report", it doesn't present like it was written by a professional, there's little things that give it away as being amatuerish, for example, the author identifies Alfa Group as "Alpha Group", that's just not a mistake any MI6 officer would make, I don't buy that this was written by "ex-MI6" as claimed.

A small difference, but a glaring one, because Alfa Group is so well known, it would be like a supposed military expert repeatedly writing "F-16 Eagle" or "M2 Abrams".

What we're seeing is the left bringing it's best effort at taking Trump down in what can only be characterized as a comically pathetic attempt at using the internet, which they don't understand, as their weapon.

They are going to continue to be a laughing stock for decades to come with this shit.
