Yesterday morning, House Democrats heard something during a briefing from FBI Director Comey that made them very angry. Given that the hearing was top secret, they couldn't give details as to why they were mad, but it reportedly had something to do with Comey's refusal to clarify whether the FBI is investigating Trump’s ties to Russia.
On top of all that, the GOP senator heading up the Intelligence Committee announced his committee "will investigate possible contacts between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, reversing himself one day after telling reporters that the issue would be outside of his panel’s ongoing probe into Moscow’s election-disruption efforts." I can't stress the importance of this development enough -- a Republican would never allow something like this to happen unless he was worried that not investigating it would cause him and the GOP profound political difficulty in the future.
Add to all this yesterday's revelation that the former MI6 agent who was investigating Trump was so concerned with what he was finding regarding Donald and Russia that he turned it all over to the FBI last July. And today, the Independent is reporting this:
Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who investigated Donald Trump’s alleged Kremlin links, was so worried by what he was discovering that at the end he was working without pay, The Independent has learned.Additionally, the AP reported yesterday that Michael Flynn, Trump's incoming national security adviser, has met frequently in recent weeks with Russia's ambassador to the U.S, including "on the day the Obama administration hit Moscow with sanctions in retaliation for election-related hacking, a senior U.S. official said Friday."
Mr Steele also decided to pass on information to both British and American intelligence officials after concluding that such material should not just be in the hands of political opponents of Mr Trump, who had hired his services, but was a matter of national security for both countries.
However, say security sources, Mr. Steele became increasingly frustrated that the FBI was failing to take action on the intelligence from others as well as him. He came to believe there was a cover-up, that a cabal within the Bureau blocked a thorough inquiry into Mr. Trump, focusing instead on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
So what's going on? I believe the investigation will reveal collusion between the Trump Campaign, elements within the FBI, and the Russians to hack into Hillary Clinton's Campaign in order to destroy it.
