When did Trump-Russia probe begin? Investigators focus on mystery months

Tranquillus in Exile said:
GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.

Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.

According to one account, GCHQ’s then head, Robert Hannigan, passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan. The matter was deemed so sensitive it was handled at “director level”. After an initially slow start, Brennan used GCHQ information and intelligence from other partners to launch a major inter-agency investigation.

The FBI claims the investigation started in July 2016-which blows this timetable/

also the
The Washington Post reported that, "The professor's interactions with Trump advisers began a few weeks before the opening of the investigation, when Page met the professor at the British symposium."

A few weeks before the opening of the investigation — those are the words that have raised eyebrows among Hill investigators. If it was before the investigation, then what was an FBI informant doing gathering undercover information when there was not yet an investigation?

again..when did the investigation really start if informants were meeting Papa before it supposedly started?

Oh they are interested. They are very scared.

I think Trump is playing this perfectly. Trump knows EXACTLY what the Obama administration did and when they did it. Trump knows how to play reality TV like no other. He is waiting to spring the trap for massive effect leading into the midterms. No sense blowing his wad right now to give the public time to forget about it.


Nope. He is biding his time. The left doesn't know it (but they will) but time is on Trump's side.

Hilarious that you think Trump can wait for anything. The man has the attention span of a 2 year old and doesn't waste a moment thinking before he speaks.

he's peripheral. Papa never did amything but sit in one that 1 meeting.

But the point, why is an informant dealing with Papa, unless there was already an investigation?
In which case the July date when the FBI says it started was false?

In a nationwide election, "peripheral" people don't sit down at meetings with the upper level campaign staff nor are pointed out directly by the candidate

Because there already existed an interest in individuals with Russian ties who happened to also have connections to the Trump campaign. It wasn't an investigation into the Trump campaign but interest in suspicious behavior, in a simple sense, old fashion police work

He was an Australian diplomat who guided 25 million from the Australian government to the Clinton Foundation. That was before he ‘happened to run into’ Papadopoulos.

Wow, really, the individual who is served point on Austria's charity contribution, as even the article says he also did on numerous other Austrian donations, is now part of the right wing conspiracy because he met Georgie in a bar in London where he was assigned and reported Georgie's conversation.

Now have you checked yet to see if the mailman who delievered the mail to the Trump campaign headquarters might have also attended a Bill Clinton rally back in the day? You better call a Gowdy or Jordan and get them on it

Papa had no real role. 1 time meeting -part time advisor..but this sin't that important

the professor was tasked as an informant.
Informants are part of an investigation...the question is when did the Trump investigation start?
was he part of another investigation that overlapped? is that your claim?

Or did the Trump investigation start much earlier?
 
You rightys are nuts. The FBI found out that Russia was getting involved in our elections. They were warned by several countries that they picked it up. The FBI job was then to find out all they could about it. They used a informant who went after the information and found it. They were not on the Holy Trump campaign. They were trying to find out about Russian interference. The only connection with Trump was because many people in his campaign were working with Russians .

The FBI uses informants like local police do. This is no crime against his holiness, Daffy Trump. Just a normal investigation.
 
what about the principles meeting? again that was before July.

But then-Director James Comey and number-two Andrew McCabe personally briefed Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the list of newly-named Trump foreign policy advisers, including Page, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Lynch told the House Intelligence Committee that she, Comey, and McCabe discussed whether to provide a "defensive briefing" to the Trump campaign. That would entail having an FBI official meet with a senior campaign official "to alert them to the fact that … there may be efforts to compromise someone with their campaign," Lynch said.

It didn't happen, even though it was discussed again when Comey briefed the National Security Council principals committee about Page in the "late spring" of 2016, according to Lynch's testimony.

principles meeting don't just get conjured out of nowhere.It's obvious Trump was under investigation before July 2016

so what was the reason> AGAIN we need to see the EC!
 
informants are tightly requested in a counter-intelligence.
the professor wasn't some criminal trying to freelance some stuff to mitigate his crimes.

So if the professor was tasked directly with meeting Papa -that means there was an investigation already into the Trump campaign.
Which also explains why the principle committee declined to inform Trump his campaign was being investigated.
If there was no investigation (to compromise) -why was he not told about da Russians?

That sounds all well and good, but if that were really true, then it would stand to reason that the FBI would also do the same to the Hillary Clinton campaign right?

Now I know you are going to whine that "Trump associates had links to Russia". Fine.

So did Hillary associates

Also, why didn't they confront Trump from the get go? Why didn't they say "Hey dude, this guy you hired is sketchy and the Russians may try to influence him"?

I will await your nonresponse

There lame assed stories are starting to unravel. They were caught flat footed with this.

The NY Times article the other day was designed to trash Nunes, but the unwittingly opened Pandora's Box and it will end up bringing them all down
