As I mildly gloss over the cherry-picked leftist propaganda from the less than credible member of XNXX...

I find this gem:

White House chief of staff says he expects criminal indictments to result from Durham probe

According to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, it’s time for people to go to jail as a result of U.S. attorney John Durham’s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation.

During an interview Sunday, Meadows suggested from what he’s seen so far he believes several individuals involved in the investigation into Russian interference and alleged collusion will end up with charges being leveled against them.

Meadows, who formally served on the House Oversight Committee, also said Durham has found evidence the Obama-era FBI spied on the 2016 Trump campaign. He noted that despite the fact that Democrats knew there was no collusion early on, they continued with former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe regardless.

His comments came after Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsay Graham released two recently declassified documents last week, which suggest FBI officials were skeptical of reports in early 2017 of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials.

Those documents also included an interview with a source for Christopher Steele, which appeared to cast doubt on the accuracy of the British ex-spy’s controversial dossier. While speaking on those findings, Graham said it’s time for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

“And what I’m dying to find out is why did the system continue to use a document in April and June of 2017 to get a warrant against Carter Page when they were told in January 2017 by the man who prepared it that its a bunch of garbage?” Graham stated. ‘”I’m gonna get to the bottom of this, I’m gonna hold people accountable and let the chips fall where they may.”

President Trump also touched on the recent documents and suggested even though Obama-era officials were caught spying on his campaign, nothing is happening to them. He noted that if it were the other way around, it would be much different.

Meadows went on to say new documents may be released in the coming days that will not only show that the Trump campaign was spied on, but will show the FBI did not act appropriately in its investigation. Meanwhile, Durham’s report is expected to be released by the end of this summer.

 

Now that UK MP's have circumvented Bojo's attempt to install a yes man into the Intelligence select committee chair the resport is released that demonstrates Russian interfence since before the Brexit referendum!

This is the UK and I am sure there was no such interference or influence of the US's very secure electoral system!

Russia report reveals UK government failed to investigate Kremlin interference
Intelligence and security committee publishes long-delayed findings on Russia’s influence over UK politics

The only way for the Russian kleptocracy to rise is for other nations to fall. It’s a simple premise.

 

But what the fuck did I get this right that they did not investigate Russian interference in Brexit? If that's the case why not? Does the UK have their Bill Barr?

 

They investigated it and the tory government sat on the report which is only now coming to light thanks to MP's rejecting Boris' yes man for the chair of the intelligence select committee.

Thinskin

 

And you guys have been saying this for months! When the fuck is it going to happen?

 

Thanks. The US media is actually pretty weak when it comes to reporting on the UK or any foreign country for that matter because I don't think they really understand the form of government let alone all the politics.

And speaking of Russian interference check this one out. And just FYI I don't really know much about the other authors of this article but I do know Natasha Bertrand and she is just an excellent reporter with great sources. And the big key in the article is when they mention "The Gang Of 8" because that is a standing committee that includes the Majority and Minority Leaders in the Senate, the Speaker of the House and Minority Leader in the House and the House and Senate Intelligence Committee's Chairman and Ranking members. And they regularly get classified intelligence that no one else in the Senate and House get. So obviously the FBI and probably CIA have briefed them on Russian interference going on right now and at least one member of the Senate who is actually pushing Russian disinformation. And they are trying to force the FBI to brief all members of the Senate and House on what they have found. Which is one way to make it public because there is no way it won't be leaked.

Dem leaders demand FBI briefing on 'foreign interference campaign' targeting lawmakers
In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Democratic leaders describe mounting alarm about the potential foreign threat.

*And we might call it the Gang of 9 now because Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee is also now getting intelligence briefings just like Trump did when he was the nominee. Which is why Biden is striking out and warning Putin/Russia that he will not be Trump and just suck his dick no matter what he does, including paying bounties for killing American troops and will retaliate and make it hurt.

Wait.
So, the UK government either investigated Russian interference but didn't release the report, or didn't even investigate.
In America, Obama knew about the interference and did little about it except to tell them to "knock it off".
Well, he did encourage spying on the Trump campaign, you know, cause, Russia.

But it's Trump who is soft on Russia.

Got it.

 

Here is a summary of the report with a PDF of the report in full......

Summary of ISC's Russia report
Here is the 55-page ISC report on Russia (pdf). Here is the committee’s summary.

And here are some of the main points.

• The ISC says until recently the UK has underestimated the threat from Russia. It says:

It has been clear for some time that Russia under Putin has moved from potential partner to established threat, fundamentally unwilling to adhere to international law – the murder of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014 were stark indicators of this.

We therefore question whether the government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counter-terrorism: it was the opinion of the committee that until recently the government had badly underestimated the response required to the Russian threat – and is still playing catch-up.

Russia poses a tough intelligence challenge and our intelligence agencies must have the tools they need to tackle it.

• It criticises the government for not investigating allegations that Russia intervened in the Brexit referendum. It says:

There have been widespread public allegations that Russia sought to influence the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU. The impact of any such attempts would be difficult – if not impossible – to assess, and we have not sought to do so.

However, it is important to establish whether a hostile state took deliberate action with the aim of influencing a UK democratic process, irrespective of whether it was successful or not.

See 10.54am for more on this.

• It says that the intelligence agencies were reluctant to supply information to the committee about Russian involvement in Brexit. It says:

In response to our request for written evidence at the outset of the inquiry, MI5 initially provided just six lines of text.

The brevity was also, to us, again, indicative of the extreme caution amongst the intelligence and security agencies at the thought that they might have any role in relation to the UK’s democratic processes, and particularly one as contentious as the EU referendum.

We repeat that this attitude is illogical; this is about the protection of the process and mechanism from hostile state interference, which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies.

• It says the UK should “name and shame” Russia if it is found to be responsible for hacking or other cyber-attack attempts. It says:

When attacks can be traced back – and we accept that this is in itself resource-intensive – the government must always consider ‘naming and shaming’.

Whilst the UK must have its own defensive and offensive capabilities, it must also be prepared to lead international action.

In terms of attribution, it is apparent that not everyone is keen to adopt this new approach and to ‘call out’ Russia on malicious cyber-activity.

The government must now leverage its diplomatic relationships to develop a common international approach when it comes to the attribution of malicious cyber-activity by Russia and others.

• It says new laws are needed to counter foreign spying. It says:

New legislation must be introduced to tackle foreign spies: the Official Secrets Act is not fit for purpose and while this goes unrectified the UK intelligence community’s hands are tied.

More broadly, we need a continuing international consensus against Russian aggressive action.

• It says Russians with “very close links” to Vladimir Putin are “well integrated into the UK business, political and social scene”. It says:

Russian influence in the UK is ‘the new normal’, and there are a lot of Russians with very close links to Putin who are well integrated into the UK business and social scene, and accepted because of their wealth.

This level of integration – in ‘Londongrad’ in particular – means that any measures now being taken by the government are not preventative but rather constitute damage limitation.

• It says transparency in the House of Lords should be increased to determine if there is Russian influence on peers. It says:

Several members of the Russian elite who are closely linked to Putin are identified as being involved with charitable and/or political organisations in the UK, having donated to political parties, with a public profile which positions them to assist Russian influence operations.

It is notable that a number of members of the House of Lords have business interests linked to Russia, or work directly for major Russian companies linked to the Russian state – these relationships should be carefully scrutinised, given the potential for the Russian state to exploit them.

It is important that the code of conduct for members of the House of Lords, and the register of Lords’ interests, including financial interests, provide the necessary transparency and are enforced.

In this respect, we note that the code of conduct for members of parliament requires that MPs register individual payments of more than £100 which they receive for any employment outside the house – this does not apply to the House of Lords, and consideration should be given to introducing such a requirement.

“A ‘Foreign Agents Registration Act’ (an issue which is addressed in the section on legislation) would also be helpful in this respect.

• It says the UK’s investor visa scheme has been abused by Russians. It says:

What is now clear is that it [the investor policy] was in fact counter-productive, in that it offered ideal mechanisms by which illicit finance could be recycled through what has been referred to as the London ‘laundromat’.

The money was also invested in extending patronage and building influence across a wide sphere of the British establishment – PR firms, charities, political interests, academia and cultural institutions were all willing beneficiaries of Russian money, contributing to a ‘reputation laundering’ process.

FURTHERMORE........the Guardian has been running a blog on this all day including links to the governments response and links to Christopher Steele's security contribution which references the US report as well!

Enjoy!

Actually I did enjoy this Thinskin. Thanks.

It was really informative and I found it very interesting how many similarities there is between the UK and the US. Change House of Lords to Republicans in Congress and it would read just about the same.

 

The Russian collusion continues in plain sight.

GOP chairman won’t confirm or deny receiving Biden ‘materials’ from foreign sources — as Ukrainians say they’re passing him dirt

See how it works?
Senator Johnson heads a committee investigating corruption by this countries vice president with foreign officials.

Where else is he going to get evidence proving or disproving the allegations, the local chamber of commerce?

Hes going to get at least some of it from the foreign government.

Leave it to despicables to call that "a foreign influence operation ".

Propaganda and spin at its best, right?

When despicables went after President Trump they called it evidence from a patriotic whistle blower.

 

So you continue to support Russia interfering in our elections because you think it will help Trump get elected again just like the last time. Glad to see you going on the record with that @shootersa.

 

Diversion
Fail.
Shit for brains.
Try again.

 

@anon_de_plume
Rear admiral motherfucker

Shooter as you both know does not support any outside interference in our elections.
He does not support our interfering in other countries elections.
You recall, as President Obama did with Israel and which you both first tried to deny, then excuse, and finally ran away from.

All you two reprobates already know, but you want to act arrogant and superior and this is how you do it.
Dismissed.

 

Just literally and absolutely laughable @shooters you advocating for foreign government help is right above in your own words.
