Former intelligence officials say Trump is being manipulated by Putin

A former KGB operative, cynical, amoral, very intelligent, vs the dumbest leader the US has ever had. No contest.

"I do think both the Chinese and the Russians think they can play him," Clapper said.

Of course they are because he's an idiot. Red Flags should have gone up last year with his undisguised "attitude" towards Putin.

House Chief of Staff James Kelly was quoted as saying

Believe it or not, I do not follow the tweets. I find out about them. But for our purposes, my purpose, is we make sure the president is briefed up on what he’s about to do.

Not sure how to feel about this considering Trump himself has emphasized Twitter is his preferred method for communication - and the second half of the quote implies that Trump is unaware of what's going on around him.

It is time to get rid of this man before he causes further harm.

"I think Mr. Trump is, for whatever reason, either intimidated by Mr. Putin, afraid of what he could do, or what might come out as a result of these investigations..."

I CUP ?

I wouldn't believe anything the KGB or the CIA says, both organizations are as corrupt as can be. I would say Trump would be dumb to believe these criminal organizations.

Trump believes Russia over his own intelligence agencies.

I wouldn't believe anything the KGB or the CIA says, both organizations are as corrupt as can be. I would say Trump would be dumb to believe these criminal organizations.

Dont forget about the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department.

I wouldn't believe anything the KGB

Does that include KGB agents as well?

Can you prove the CIA is criminal organization?

Dont forget about the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department.

Of course not!

Does that include KGB agents as well?

Yes

Can you prove the CIA is criminal organization?

Can your prove that it's not?

If Trump really believes in "America First", why does he believe the former head of the KGB who obviously believes in "Russia First" rather than the U.S. Intelligence community?

Is anybody actually surprised by this article? Steve Wonder can see Trump is getting played. Only the Trumptards are oblivious to the reality of the situation.

Trump is putting his country in grave danger.

Are the US security agencies dodgy? When you look back at CIA interference in Vietnam, Chile and countless other countries there's little doubt that they have behaved with questionable intent and motivation.

That said; is everything they say and do suspect? Are all members to be mistrusted?

Lot of bad apples don't always make for a rotten orchard.

Can you prove the CIA is criminal organization?

murdering civilians or politicians in foreign countries is not criminal if done by the CIA. according to the NWO world rules, everything is OK. move along sir.

I do think both the Chinese and the Russians think they can play him

both countries are doing pretty well, so what is the problem? america can gain from their leadership.

Who cares?

Hes making the US great again!!!!!

I wonder whether the Russians have videos of Trump enjoying watersports. Or is it documents of Trump's shady business dealings. Whatever it is, they've grabbed Trump by the b*lls and he is scared!

Wait, this is the same liar Clapper caught lying because lying liars lie?

When asked, Brennan declined to say whether he knows of any intelligence to suggest that the Russians have compromising or damaging information on Trump.

That tells me all I need to know.

A dossier penned by a former British spy contains unverified claims that Russia does have embarrassing information on Trump.

Oh the media and their use of the word 'unverified' to get fake things into the news cycle. Until something is 'verified' its not news, its gossip.

When asked, Brennan declined to say whether he knows of any intelligence to suggest that the Russians have compromising or damaging information on Trump.

So he is just making things up then.

And is’nt Clapper the guy who flat out lied to Congress under oath about the NSA’s collection of information on millions of US citizens?

No one believes US intelligence people anymore. The Dems used to hate them for making up information that Bush used to invade Iraq. I guess now that the deep state liars are going after Trump they believe them again.

Brennan and Clapper are highly politicized deep staters who are covering their own backsides.

I wonder whether the Russians have videos of Trump enjoying waters-ports

And perhaps they have pictures of Hillary watching Bill and Huma. There is no telling what could be out there!

More like all of them by the illuminati.

So what do the Trump fans here think about Trump's friendly attitude towards Russia?

Trump is putting his country in grave danger.

Because the BBC said so? ROFL

murdering civilians or politicians in foreign countries is not criminal if done by the CIA. according to the NWO world rules, everything is OK. move along sir.

Yes, the organization that we are supposed to trust because they ask us to and they know more than us and they have the utmost impeccable reputation for honesty and integrity.

Wait, this is the same liar Clapper caught lying because lying liars lie?

Remember, Clapper and Brennan are honest men and they don’t lie, it’s all fake news that Trump tweets about, it’s all in his head.

But it all jokes aside, you have to be a complete and utter moron to believe that the two agencies are on the side of the people and country. As much as I love my country, I would never trust either organizations, nor these men that lead them.

In a way; the collapse of the US and it's influence is a good thing. The intelligence services will implode, the US stranglehold on other countries will fade and its only hegemony will be of the misinformation it has become mired in. Putin and his acolytes have managed to erode their greatest rival without having to fire a single shot. The machinations against America were carried out by willing stooges, bots, trolls, traitors and liars.

You'd almost have to admire the Russian leader for such tactics. And if you didn't... if you were a journalist or rival and spoke out against him...

A world without US domination is something to embrace and while it's a shame genuine, decent ordinary folk will suffer as their country crumbles beyond the self parody it's in the throes of now - the voters got what they asked for.

It just goes to show that manipulation works. Especially with such pliable targets.

Putin was a trained KGB officer - he knows how to seduce. Watch this part of the recent PBS Putin documentary about his preparation for then-Pres. George W. Bush - his tongue was as sharp as a serpent's:

https://youtu.be/Xsgx0QZ-0Jk?t=1428

"Look into his eyes and got a sense of his soul"

Remember, Putin was the one who spoke on international TV that those green men in Crimea weren't Russian soldiers despite even the Crimean locals admitting that they are - and he got some people to believe him. That's sharp

Russia was already 'friends' with the USA behind the scenes, but access and influence was controlled through donations to the Clinton Foundation. A public attempt to bring a relationship into the open failed due to the ridiculous 'reset' button and Obama's inability to grow any personal relationship with Putin.

I would much rather the USA and Russia be friends in the open and work on things of mutual interest and benefit together. Not just enriching the pockets of the Clintons and only working on the agenda of them, their donors/lobbyists and hangers on.

Russia was already 'friends' with the USA behind the scenes, but access and influence was controlled through donations to the Clinton Foundation. 

Alrighty.

Who's next?

Heh, that Clinton Foundation remark sounds like a mental health issue. But in reality, it's not. The Russian paid contributors are even easier to spot the more people are disavowing Trump. Check out the comments on CBS news or CNN - the closer Mueller gets to Trump the more the divisive contributors pop up. Media outlets including JT should be doing more to deal with these impostors.

The Clinton Foundation did receive money (lots of it) from Russia connected groups/businesses/people.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/newsweek-fact-check-denies-russian-payments-to-clintons-even-though-payments-happened/article/2638197

the only thing that has been in question was if it was in return for the uranium deal., that is yet to be proven why the money was given. The fact that Bill Clinton got $500,000 and the foundation 145 million isn’t in dispute.

Unless you want to play word games and say the “Clintons” don’t control the money given to the “Clinton foundation” that Chelsea Clinton was running.

And what is with this “divisive” word that people here and the media are pushing? If you don’t think just like me and accept “my truths” you are divisive! But why does no one donate yo Clinton Foundation anymore? Why Podesta Group is closing?

there is only one truth in each situation, something either did or didn’t happen. It’s not divisive when someone proves to you that something did happen you said didn’t, or vice versa.

The truth once found actually brings people together once an accusation is turned into proof by the use of evidence or confession. Prove what you say and it’s not divisive it’s simply “the truth”.

What does this have to do with the story?

Why Podesta Group is closing?

What does this have to do with the story?

Is JT turning into the Fox News comment section where stories about the price of bananas turns into a review of everything they have on Hillary Clinton?

A dossier penned by a former British spy contains unverified claims that Russia does have embarrassing information on Trump

paid for by who to do what? There is your connection for this story ably Russia supposedly manipulating someone. But it wasn’t Trump.

It does not take an intelligence professional to see how flattery overcomes Trump. He is so vulnerable to emotional manipulation he is our biggest risk. Emotional instability is dangerous in an fool who does not understand how the world works.

The GOP is slamming Moore as we speak. Front page of Fox News has 4 articles saying to step aside, all from Republicans.

Which means the insults towards Democrats will be starting at any moment.

Real Trump supporters will stick by Moore since it hasn’t actually been proven he did anything.

So you condemn him?
