This is potentially bigger than the Rosenbergs:

1. Easily it's bigger. THis is astonishing.

19. Trump plays Alpha-Dog to everyone but Putin. Now we know why.

[MFM008]

2. They are blackmailing

That piece of shit.
Also he cooperated with the russians.
IMPEACH THIS BITCH before he gets in. He's a SPY.

[2naSalit]

3. Just as I suspected all along...

as did many here.

4. Check out this report and video from CNN!! This is YUGE!!!

Carl Bernstein :woot: !!!

[world wide wally]

5. Don't let Trump grab us by the hairs!

[Warpy]

6. Probably not

since McCain turned the goods over to Comey and we all know Comey is as dirty as they come. It's all going to go away, blow over, get buried, nothing to see here, folks, all hail Trump!

7. CIA is bad ass and much more formidable than the FBI.

It's also much easier to be a G-Man than be a CIA agent.

8. I wish that I would've inquired about working for them when I graduated.

There were supposedly CIA recruiters outside of my university's graduation ceremony and several other students were talking about it. One of the students talked to them and later said, "They're mostly looking for math majors." That was my major, but I didn't talk to them because I had a bad impression of the CIA over shady things they had done around the world.

12. Apparently Obama finally cleaned that shit up

At least that's what I've been hearing. Kind of hard to believe but I doubt the extreme right imperialistic CIA I've always known and not loved would be going this hard after the Con.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. I'm sure there's many good people working for them.

I should have at least listened to what they had to say.

[HurricaneWarning]

15. It's never too late.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. That was back in the early 90's.

My alcoholic ex-wife (I was engaged to her when I graduated) really did a number on me too. It was bogus, but I doubt that I'd pass a background check now -- 4th degree misdemeanor for supposed "threatening language" after our divorce, and the judge took her word for it. I've seen FAR worse on display during that idiotic Jerry Springer Show.

10. Comey was one of the Intelligence Chiefs who made the presentation.

[herding cats]

18. The 'goods' are all over the place.

They were read by several media outlets, including CNN and then published on Buzzfeed verbatim.

Whatever gets validated from the dossier is what we may never know, but I'm quite positive Trump will know all the dirt the intelligence community has on him. Every last little speck will be rubbed in his face, and if he once again chooses not to acknowledge their power, we'll get more leaks.

Trump just met his new owners, and it's not his bestie Putin.

Putin is no doubt looking for someone to execute for the loss of his orange little pet American president. Who knows, maybe he'll get so angry he retaliates against Trump.

9. Russia's four major ways of flipping an agent are money, sex, blackmail and threat of death.

.


His debts to Russian banks are one thing. His business plans in several former Soviet states are in play.

A few weeks back, rumors were out that when he went to Russia, he might have had sex with someone.

The blackmail motive enters into it.


&


He always now seems to be surrounded by Russian types, who might be control mechanisms.

.

[grantcart]

11. money and sex are sub sets of blackmail

The other major avenue is to establish a record of illicit cooperation (like during a campaign) and then use that as the source of blackmail.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Money and sex are standalones too. Most of the 80s spies never needed to be blackmailed.

.


The threat of death is primarily used to make someone become a double-agent.

[disalitervisum]

13. trump probably not smart enough to be a spy

Most of the people who work in the intelligence field are just that, intelligent, and I think trump stopped developing any semblance of brains at around age ten.

[Hekate]

20. On beyond Nixon and out the other side. Unbelievable.
