CIA and foreign intelligence agencies illegally targeted 26 Trump associates before 2016 Russia collusion claims: report
Fair warning:
The report by independent journalists Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag has not been confirmed by The Post.
They cite multiple unnamed sources, including ones close to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
The US Intelligence Community asked foreign spy agencies to surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, which triggered the allegations that the former president’s campaign had been colluding with Russia, according to a report.
Former CIA Director John Brennan identified and presented the targets to the US’s intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called “Five Eyes” agencies – the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – according to a report published Monday on Michael Shellenberger’s Public Substack.
Oh Brennen. You may remember his greatest hits as one of the 50 intel agents supporting the Hunter laptop being Russian disinfo as well. Along with his revocation of his security clearance under Trump and his cushy new job at CNN.
Plus, this little gem at the bottom:
Intelligence related to the alleged surveillance effort is housed in a “10-inch binder,” according to the outlet, which Trump, 77, ordered to be declassified at the end of his presidency and could contain evidence that “multiple US intelligence officials broke laws against spying and election interference.”
The whereabouts of the alleged thick binder are unknown.
For those of you still not grasping why this is important, like BV... allow me a question for you to ponder.
The CIA is known for building and toppling nations. Interfering in elections, candidates and governments.
What makes you think they wouldn't do it here at home?
