"Page 7, Detail :

1. Speaking in confidence to a compatriot in late July 2016, Souce E, an ethnic Russian close associate of Republican US presidential candidate Donald TRUMP, admitted that there was a well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between them and the Russian leadership. This was managed on the TRUMP side by the Republican candidate's campaign manager Paul MANFORT, who was using foreign policy advisor Carter PAGE, and others as intermediaries. The two sides have a mutual interest in defeating Democratic presidential candidate Hillary CLINTON, whom President PUTIN apparently both hated and feared.

3. In the wider context of TRUMP campaign/Kremlin co-operation, Source E claimed that the Intelligence network being used against CLINTON comprised three elements. Firstly there were agents/facilitators within the Democratic Party structure itself; secondly Russian emigre and associated offensive cyber operators based in the US; and thirdly, state-sponsored operatives working in Russia. All three elements has played an important role to date. On the mechanism for rewarding relevant assets based in the US, and effecting a two-way flow of intelligence and other useful information, Source E claimed that Russian diplomatic staff in key cities such as New York, Washington, DC and Miami were using the emigre 'pension' distribution system as cover. The operation therefore depended on key people in the US Russian emigre community for its success. Tens of thousands of dollars were involved.

3. I Wonder

After all, he has ties to Manafort

10. I think it is obvious that they are in relevant places.

Remembering back to when Pence was chosen, I remember there being a Russian connection to that choice too. I also believe that Ryan and McConnell are a part of the floor plan. I am sure they feel like they are not being manipulated, but given an unlimited power for greed.

7. Thank You

Isn't this something

“However, there were other aspects to TRUMP’s engagement with the Russian authorities. One which had borne fruit for them was to exploit TRUMP’s personal obsessions and sexual perversion in order to obtain suitable ‘kompromat’ (compromising material) on him. According to Source D, where s/he had been present, TRUMP’s (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to.”

8. Yes. And the Russians have been spying on Clinton(s) since Bill's presidency.

And after all that time, they still came up with nothing embarrassing.

There appears to be a ton of kompromat from Trump's misadventures in Russia, peepee tape notwithstanding.

Everyone wonders why Trump bends over backwards for Putin. We should be trying to expose whatever it is the Russians have on him.

I wonder if Mueller is aware of "Source E":

"Source E provided an introduction for a company ethnic Russian operative to Source F, a female staffer at the hotel when TRUMP had stayed there, who also confirmed the story. Speaking separately in June 2016, Source B (the former top level Russian intelligence officer) asserted that TRUMP’s unorthodox behaviour In Russia over the years had provided the authorities there with enough embarrassing material on the now Republican presidential candidate to be able to blackmail him if they so wished."

12. I Found That Particular Section Of Interest Too

There was a thread on DU today where scorn was heaped upon Louise Mensch for hinting at the Russians' having something on Clinton.
