Was the Trump-Russia investigation politically motivated from the start?

'There's something not right here': British spies warned the US about 'extensive' contact between Trump team and Russia.

Britain's Government Communications Headquarters became aware of suspicious "interactions" between associates of Donald Trump and suspected or known Russian operatives in late 2015, The Guardian reported on Thursday.

The Guardian's report — which said other intelligence agencies in Germany, Estonia, and Poland also picked up communications between Trump's associates and Russian agents — is consistent with earlier revelations about what spurred the US intelligence community to launch its investigation last summer into Trump's ties to Russia.

The European agencies shared the intelligence with their American counterparts between late 2015 and mid-2016, The Guardian reported. But the FBI and the CIA "were slow to appreciate the extensive nature of contacts between Trump's team and Moscow ahead of the US election," the report said.

"It looks like the [US] agencies were asleep," a UK intelligence source told The Guardian. The European agencies "were saying: 'There are contacts going on between people close to Mr. Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.' The message was: 'Watch out. There's something not right here.'"

The FBI did not open its investigation into Russia's interference in the US election — and the Trump campaign's possible complicity — until July 2016, FBI Director James Comey told the House Intelligence Committee during a public hearing last month. That was more than six months after British intelligence officials were first alerted to the interactions between Trump's associates and known or suspected Russian operatives, according to The Guardian.

US officials were "very late to the game" when it came to examining those contacts, a source told the British newspaper.

The BBC's Paul Wood reported earlier this year that the investigation began in earnest in the spring of 2016 when an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic states passed former CIA Director John Brennan a recording that alleged money from the Kremlin had made its way into Trump's campaign coffers.

Major newspapers like the LA Times, Daily Mail, BBC, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Washington Post and New York Times make a real effort to get the facts... and if you are a Trump fan, you may not like the facts.

The report cited in the OP, which has nothing to do with the Steele dossier, appears to be a subject that neither Trumpsters nor normal people wish to discuss.

I can understand the reluctance of Trumpsters, because it destroys their narrative. They would much rather talk about Strzok and Page bad-mouthing Trump, or McCabe's wife's politics. ("Ask her what it feels like to be a loser" - President of the USA.)

What about normal people? If any of this is true, it shows that the Trump-Russia investigation was fully justified whether or not any collusion is established in the end.

The Russia investigation is based on an absurdly false narrative that Trump only won because the Russians helped him. It is a lie and moronic for idiots on the left and the FAKE media to keep bloviating stupidly about it.

Britain's spy agencies reportedly played a crucial role in revealing that President Donald Trump's campaign team was in contact with Russian intelligence operatives.

Once officials in the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) learned of suspicious 'interactions' between Trump's inner circle and suspected Russian agents in late 2015, they passed the information on to the United States.

The tip was passed on during a routine exchange of information, according to an intelligence insider.

During the following six months into 2016, a number of western agencies, including ones in Germany, Estonia and Poland, shared their own information about interactions between people close to Trump and Russians.

Wrong; you're looking for bullshit to support a moronic narrative that Russia helped get Trump elected. It's stupid and only the bullshit that a low IQ leftist can parrot.

This is just willfully stupid; when it comes to Trump, they are all a pack of whiny lying dumbfucks like you. There are no facts in their efforts to destroy this Presidency. It is lunacy at its worst and the Americans who have a brain see right through it.

Hyper partisan dumbfucks like you merely gobble the stupidity up and regurgitate it on social media like willful morons.
