Former NSC official: UK intelligence helped Obama team on collusion probe
|
[World Tribune] A top official in British intelligence intimated that the UK assisted in the Obama administration’s investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 election, former Trump administration deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland said.
McFarland, who served as national security adviser Michael Flynn’s deputy for the first four months of the Trump administration, told Just the News that as Trump was preparing to take office in January 2017 she was contacted by British Deputy National Security Adviser Patrick "Paddy" McGuinness.
The contact occurred around same time the bogus Christopher Steele dossier was leaked to the U.S. media, the Just the News report noted.
McGuinness said that the British and American intelligence communities work so closely together that "it’s often difficult to see where one ends and the other begins," McFarland recalled during an interview with the John Solomon Reports podcast.
At the time McFarland said she took the comment to be an obvious reassurance of the famously close relationship between U.S. and UK intelligence services. But "in retrospect, I think it was a signal that their former agent was working very closely with our intelligence agencies," McFarland now says.
"My conclusion was that they had been working closely with the intelligence officials in the Obama administration," McFarland said.
Late last month, in an interview with Just the News, Flynn defense attorney Sidney Powell confirmed that McFarland was contacted by McGuinness. Powell said that Flynn had received a parallel communique from Britain’s national security adviser which called into question Steele’s credibility within British intelligence circles.
