Trump Came At The Intel Community. He Missed. Was That Smart, Do You Think?
DRIP. DRIP. FLOOD.
BREAKING!!! BREAKING!!! Our president is a LIAR FUCKING LIAR!!!
Okay, that part's not breaking. But last night's gonzo story from the New York Times is HOLY FUCKING SHIT. This is definitive proof that Donald Trump knew before the inauguration that Putin himself authorized the DNC hack and electoral ratfucking in 2016. And the intelligence community wants you to know it.
Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.
The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
If you're wondering why James Clapper, John Brennan, and Admiral Mike Rogers always look like they're about to lurch across the table and stab Donald Trump in the neck with a fountain pen, it's because the former DNI and heads of CIA and NSA sat down with that lying sumbitch and showed him images of pilfered DNC emails floating around Russian government servers. And then that lying traitor spent 18 months screaming WITCH HUNT and siccing the howler monkey mafia on the US intelligence service. Better to burn down the entire intelligence service than bruise his fragile snowflake ego and admit that he only lost the popular vote with a bigly illegal assist from a hostile, foreign power!
Moreover, it wasn't just SIGINT. Clapper, Brennan and Rogers brought HUMINT, too. (Don't give us that side-eye. It's not our fault we're living in a John LeCarre novel -- we voted for her!)
And ultimately, several human sources had confirmed Mr. Putin's own role.
That included one particularly valuable source, who was considered so sensitive that Mr. Brennan had declined to refer to it in any way in the Presidential Daily Brief during the final months of the Obama administration, as the Russia investigation intensified.
Instead, to keep the information from being shared widely, Mr. Brennan sent reports from the source to Mr. Obama and a small group of top national security aides in a separate, white envelope to assure its security.
That's a giant, screaming intelligence leak, and it damn near broke NatSec Twitter last night! Who the hell is Mr. Envelope? And why are we finding out about him NOW? After Trump humped Putin's leg in Helsinki and offered up Ambassador McFaul and Bill Browder for Russian interrogation, did the Bat Signal go off inside the Intelligence Community? Are they about to take down the Traitor in Chief?
Trump opened the floodgates and forced the intelligence communities hand. He crossed a red line this week. He dec… https: //t.co/QYP0yzRQ8w

The Daily Beast got some amazing quotes from current and former diplomats who think that the dam has broken after the Finland fuckery.
The current U.S. diplomat said the openness to turning over McFaul capped off a shocking week for U.S. geopolitics.
"The president has first and foremost his interests at the top of his mind, as opposed to the government's. That's very clear over the past week and a half, between shitting on our NATO allies and kissing Putin's ass," the diplomat said. "He cares more about himself than the nation and any of us who serve it."
The diplomat continued: "Either he's compromised by Putin or he's a pussy, in which case he should grab himself."
But before we get day drunk at the prospect of the intelligence community coming to TAKE HIS ORANGE ASS OUT, national security expert Matt Tait is here to remind us that people wind up dead when the IC starts burning its own house down.
Well, shit! That's a buzzkill. But maybe the source is already dead?
Here's a fun CNNstory on all the prominent Russians who mysteriously GOT DEAD in the nine months after the Steele Dossier was released. The list includes the Russian Ambassador to the UN, who died in February 2017 of a "heart attack," and a possible Steele source who climbed into the back seat of his car before succumbing to -- you guessed it -- a "heart attack." Oh wait, we mean "unknown"!
Oleg Erovinkin, who had close ties to Russian intelligence, was found dead on December 26 sitting in his car on the streets of Moscow. Russian news outlets reported that he was 61 years old. Russian government agencies have not released an official cause of death.
He was a former general in the Russian law enforcement and intelligence agency known as the FSB. He also served as chief of staff to Igor Sechin, the president of state-owned oil giant Rosneft. Sechin enjoys a close relationship with Putin that dates back to the 1990s.
So maybe Mr. Envelope is long dead. Or maybe he's very much alive, and that's what Devin Nunes and the Treason Squad have been fighting about for a year. Maybe those anti-patriotic weasels are about to impeach Rod Rosenstein because he won't let them splash Mr. Envelope's name all over Fox in an effort to discredit the Mueller investigation.

That guy would shackle up his prize cow and hand her over to Vladimir Putin if he thought Trump would get a positive news cycle out of it!
So what the hell is going on here? Are we about to see an avalanche of damaging leaks from the IC that make the pee tape look like a Flinstones rerun? Have the spooks decided they have to destroy the village to save it?
