This is not 4chan bullshit, it's worth discussing the conclusions of the research, but the people discounting this as fake on account of 4chan are making a mistake.

The 35 page document is a compilation of memos, all with dates. The MI6 agent was stating that this blackmail evidence existed much earlier than that.TheReal_ND wrote:The assertion is that the anon who submitted wild stories to Rick Wilson in November was simply added to the "report."

I think the 4chan trolling is getting misconstrued into having relevance here, where there is none. This MI6 agent was investigating using Russian sources on a lot of these specifics.
What I think the 4chan trolling did accomplish was getting Wilson to pass their telling along to McMullin, who tried to use it in his campaign. There was no crossover here.

What "MI6 Agent"? There's no evidence that MI6 is involved in this whatsoever. "MI6 Agent!" is quite obviously an attempt to lend credence to something where that is not in any way justified.adwinistrator wrote:The 35 page document is a compilation of memos, all with dates.

CNN - 1/11/2017 - Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise himThe raw memos on which the synopsis is based were prepared by the former MI6 agent, who was posted in Russia in the 1990s and now runs a private intelligence gathering firm.
When this was first reported on near the end of the election, he was characterized more ambiguously.
Mother Jones - 10/31/2016 - A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald TrumpIn June, the former Western intelligence officer—who spent almost two decades on Russian intelligence matters and who now works with a US firm that gathers information on Russia for corporate clients—was assigned the task of researching Trump's dealings in Russia and elsewhere, according to the former spy and his associates in this American firm.
Newsweek - 11/4/2016 - WHY VLADIMIR PUTIN’S RUSSIA IS BACKING DONALD TRUMPaccording to information obtained from within Russia by a Western intelligence source
And now, there's multiple news outlets narrowing down who the source of this report could be.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
All unfounded media conjecture, if you cannot produce the MI6 Agent then you cannot produce the MI6 Agent, if you accept unfounded media conjecture at face value and then assert "MI6 Agent" thereafter, your judgement is clearly suspect.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
That's fine, I don't disagree with your assessment. The author of the memos being a retired MI6 agent was not really pertinent to the point I was making.Smitty-48 wrote:All unfounded media conjecture, if you cannot produce the MI6 Agent then you cannot produce the MI6 agent, if you accept unfounded media conjecture at face value and then assert "MI6 Agent" thereafter, your judgement is clearly suspect.
Would you conclude the author was a "former western intelligence officer"?
This individual was able to deliver their findings to the FBI, and the FBI subsequently initiated an investigation. They found the intel valid enough to pursue FISA warrants.
The Guardian - John McCain passes dossier alleging secret Trump-Russia contacts to FBIThe Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials.
edit: The Wall Street Journal is reporting:
Unnamed sourcing, but the WSJ is comfortable publishing.A former British intelligence officer who is now a director of a private security-and-investigations firm has been identified as the author of the dossier of unverified allegations about President-elect Donald Trump’s activities and connections in Russia, people familiar with the matter say.

The MSM fucking around with these fake news conspiracy theories has been like a little kid playing with fireworks. This time, I think it's going to take some fingers. This one will have consequences for them.
