CIA Had Foreign Allies Spy On Trump Team, Triggering Russia Collusion Hoax, Sources Say
[Zero] Last year, John Durham, a special prosecutor for the Department of Justice (DOJ), concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should never have opened its investigation of alleged collusion by then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and Russia in late July of 2016.
That's Soetoro's decades long handler on his left, your right.
Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.
Whoa! Next you’re going to tell us that lions are lying down with lambs, and Democratic girls are seeking out Republican husbands.
The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax and is supported by testimony already in the public record.

Until now, the official story has been that the FBI’s investigation began after Australian intelligence officials told US officials that a Trump aide had boasted to an Australian diplomat that Russia had damning material about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

In truth, the US IC asked the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance to surveil Trump’s associates and share the intelligence they acquired with US agencies, say sources close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) investigation. The Five Eyes nations are the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

After Public and Racket had been told that President Barack Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, had identified 26 Trump associates for the Five Eyes to target, a source confirmed that the IC had "identified [them] as people to ’bump,’ or make contact with or manipulate. They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation."

#1 A theory of Executive Order-12333 circumvention (legal prohibition of intel collection against US Persons) which was suggested here on the Burg years ago. I believe a Highlands 'Skyfall' graphic was used if my memory serves me correctly.

#4 The Brits were knee deep colluding with US intel against Trump.
If Trump takes office it will get interesting.

#6 Another Fuve-Eyes mystery explained, WIKI cite about the Head of GCHQ (UK equivalent of NSA) unexpectedly steppng down for "personal reasons" 3 days after Trumps Inauguration..."Robert Peter Hannigan CMG (born 1965) is a cybersecurity specialist who has been Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, since 2021. He was a senior British civil servant who previously served as the director of the signals intelligence and cryptography agency the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and established the UK's National Cyber Security Centre.[1] His sudden resignation as director was announced on 23 January 2017, and he stepped down at the end of April 2017 to pursue a career in private sector cyber security, academia and as a security commentator."

#8 When I would work in the "City of" not the rest of it, "London" I would see all the folks discussing the royalty doing this and that... and then some mumbles about their own conditions.. and one day this American shocked them: I said.. "You do know that Prince Charles owns 1/3 the rental/lease property in London? You do know that Marx designed Communism for the UK masses?" The response was utter quiet and nobody would look me in the eye...

#9 Prince Charles owns 1/3 the rental/lease property in London

How much did the queen then own? Presumably hers mostly went to King Charles III, and Prince William took over the crown prince’s portion.

#10 @#8 - Is it true that the royal family (or PM) actually needs permission to enter in the the City of London or is that just wives' tale b.s?

#11 The City of London is separate from London. It has a ROYAL MAYOR appointed by the Royal Queen or now King. That Mayor is not the Elected Mayor of London (The part not the City of) City Of - Think Business/Stockbrokers, Barbician Center, Parliament and News Companies oh and the big slaughter house and a University. Sort of draw a line around it.
No reason would the Royal Mayor stop the Royal Family.. The part with the elected mayor I have no clue.
