Former high-level officials submit 'unusual' Russia brief in lawsuit against Trump and Roger Stone
2017-12-15
[Bus Insider] Fourteen former national security, intelligence, and foreign policy officials who have served at senior levels in Republican and Democratic administrations recently wrote an amicus brief as part of a lawsuit brought against President Donald Trump's campaign and Roger Stone, his longtime confidant.

The lawsuit was filed in July by three private citizens ‐ Roy Cockrum, Scott Comer, and Eric Schoenberg ‐ whose personal information was stolen in hacks of the Democratic National Committee and published by WikiLeaks. The plaintiffs have argued that the Trump campaign, Stone, "and those they conspired with arranged for the hacked information to be provided to WikiLeaks."

The Trump campaign and Stone have filed motions to dismiss the complaint. The plaintiffs responded on December 1, laying out, among other things, a "motive to collaborate" between the campaign and Russia, as well as points of contact.

Among the former officials are the usual suspects who filed the amicus brief on December 8 are John Brennan, a CIA director; James Clapper, a director of national intelligence; and Michael Hayden, a director of the National Security Agency; Avril Haines, a deputy national security adviser; Michael McFaul, a US ambassador to Russia; and Michael Morell, an acting CIA director.

#2  Was this the same Scott Comer who was Hildabeest's campaign finance chairman? I seem to also recall a Scott Comer who was in one of James O'Keefe's undercover stings of the DNC.

#1  Donald Trump was not the intended president. The intelligence community attack continues.
