Just how much did the Trump campaign coordinate with the Russian cyber spy operation?

[UCmeNdc]

This question needs to be answered.

The Russians just might be in control of Donald Trump and therefore in control the United States government.

Did Putin order Trump to dismantle the CIA?

1. What we don't yet know

is darker and dirtier than we could have imagined. That much we can be sure of.

2. Wikileaks is requesting that somebody leak them the classified report so that they can you know.....

[UCmeNdc]

3. Give it to their Russian contacts?

[HoneyBadger]

4. Leak it

Because they like to leak

[UCmeNdc]

5. Or they like to coordinate with Russian spies then leak it

The point being we really do not know Wikileaks true objectives do we?

Why didn't they release emails on the GOP? Why did Roger Stone (Trump insider) have a coordinated relationship with Assange through an intermediary contact? Will Wikileaks release some information then withhold other to influence the reading audience in a manner favorable toward Putin's objectives?

What is Wikileaks true objectives?

[HoneyBadger]

6. That may be contained in the classified report

[UCmeNdc]

7. Wikileaks in not neutral. Giving them leaked classified information will accomplish nothing.

Wikileaks will filter the information and use it for its own purposes.

8. The declassified report was very interesting re Wikileaks

The CIA, and the rest of our intelligence agencies specifically pointed out the "authenticity" and lack of "evident forgeries" on the part of Wikileaks. But did not say anything about filtering or lack of filtering. Which is odd.

9. Some in the Trump campaign were making regular trips to Russia......

like Manaforte and Carter .......(name escapes me now). This was reported openly, but not purpose of visits.

12. Good question. I bet Manafort is the key.

He was there at the start, seemingly coordinating things, then he was gone, replaced by Flynn and other Putin buddies.

[First Speaker]

13. If Obama had any real guts, he'd fucking arrest Trump...

...and send him to goddam Gitmo, and sweat the truth out of him. And Manafort too...and Comey, if necessary. Fuck it. We have a classic example of a "clear and present danger". For all the handwringers out there--we are in an unprecedented situation. No government can stand on the strict letter of the Constitution when the national existence is at clear risk. Having a traitor in the White House, answerable to a foreign despot, qualifies as a "clear risk".

14. I think realistically, Obama could have Kerry deliver a message to the .....

gov't of Ecuador to hand over Assange within 48 hours or we will come for him some other way. Assange has forfeited any appearance of neutrality by cooperating with Putin against our country. This might start some movement against the Russian
agents operating in our country, including "Putin's Puppet".
