#1 The raw memos on which the synopsis is based were prepared by the former MI6 agent, who was posted in Russia in the 1990s and now runs a private intelligence gathering firm. His investigations related to Mr. Trump were initially funded by groups and donors supporting Republican opponents of Mr. Trump during the GOP primaries, multiple sources confirmed to CNN. Those sources also said that once Mr. Trump became the nominee, further investigation was funded by groups and donors supporting Hillary Clinton.

So, let me get this straight. A Washington D.C. 'Opposition Research Group' likely funded by Clinton, Soros, dems, you pick....looking for info, dirt, and validity, hires Non-USP and former British MI6 officer to build 'synopsis' on Trump connections and 'surrogates.' Unsubstantiated data (unfinished and unverified data aka rumors) then shared with McCain, Reid, Comey....but not Trump until last week.

Excuse me while I claim partisan political BULLSHI* and possible foreign espionage directed against USCIT and U.S. presidential candidate (Trump) by a 'former' foreign intelligence operative likely hired by the Clinton campaign.

Dirty, nasty Russians had the info all the time and never said anything, not even to Wikileaks? Clinton campaign foreign operatives now correcting the record by disseminating unsubstantiated information (non-intelligence fake news). There Julian Assange, take THAT !

Thank you McCain, Reid, Comey, Brennan, Obama, and Clinton's. Nice, very nice. I hope Mike Flynn explains this to Trump and he sticks it up their collected arses with a post-Jan 20th Justice Department investigation.

#3 I understood there was an empty bottle of vodka and a remnant of a pickle inside the hacked computer.

#4 Did this unnamed MI6 officer have anything to do with former Congressman and FBI agent Mike Rogers, Aegis LLC, or no-bid security contracts at Benghazi annex by chance ?

#7 Part of the shock is that we've allowed ourselves to believe the Elites would go quietly.

#11 Ya know, I've been trying to understand this "virtue signaling" thing and wonder if this is an example?

Or is it just a set-up?

#12 Trump's dumps are massive lumps,
And look just like Obama,
When they hit the pan,
He shouts "Yes, we can"
And flushes them away-o-rama
