Intel Chiefs To Trump: Russian Operatives Claim To Have Compromising Information About You

Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.

(CNN)Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.

The allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis that was appended to a report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The allegations came, in part, from memos compiled by a former British intelligence operative, whose past work US intelligence officials consider credible. The FBI is investigating the credibility and accuracy of these allegations, which are based primarily on information from Russian sources, but has not confirmed many essential details in the memos about Mr. Trump.

The classified briefings last week were presented by four of the senior-most US intelligence chiefs -- Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers.

One reason the nation's intelligence chiefs took the extraordinary step of including the synopsis in the briefing documents was to make the President-elect aware that such allegations involving him are circulating among intelligence agencies, senior members of Congress and other government officials in Washington, multiple sources tell CNN.

These senior intelligence officials also included the synopsis to demonstrate that Russia had compiled information potentially harmful to both political parties, but only released information damaging to Hillary Clinton and Democrats. This synopsis was not an official part of the report from the intelligence community case about Russian hacks, but some officials said it augmented the evidence that Moscow intended to harm Clinton's candidacy and help Trump's, several officials with knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.

The two-page synopsis also included allegations that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government, according to two national security officials.

Sources tell CNN that these same allegations about communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians, mentioned in classified briefings for congressional leaders last year, prompted then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to send a letter to FBI Director Comey in October, in which he wrote, "It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government -- a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States."

CNN has confirmed that the synopsis was included in the documents that were presented to Mr. Trump but cannot confirm if it was discussed in his meeting with the intelligence chiefs.

The Trump transition team declined repeated requests for comment.

So, now the Russians have compromising information to blackmail Trump while president. Ain't that comforting.

Who's reporting this? CNN? With all due respect, Lakhota...that media outlet has about zero credibility at this point!

With all due respect - you're full of NaziCon shit. CNN is a fine outfit.


They attack CNN as they can't think outside of their tiny little box.

Pointing out that CNN is so liberally biased at this point that they've lost credibility isn't "attacking" CNN...it's simply stating the obvious!
any different from faux??? or is fox worse and how about limpaw???? credible??

Different from Fox News? Well let's see...CNN gave Hillary Clinton the questions in advance that would be asked in the debate they hosted. Did FOX do that for Donald Trump? Be honest...who showed more journalistic integrity...the moderators for CNN or the moderator for Fox?
 
The Russians hacked the DNC, Hillary, and Podesta ... but have compromising info on Trump?

Huh?!
 
So when does the outrage and the investigations begin on how the UKRAINE injected itself into our elections to try to help Hillary win, how they collaborated with the Hillary campaign to dig up dirt on Trump, then the Ukraine presented accusations against Trump (that turned out to be wrong)?

My understanding is that the ONLY compromising information they have is that when DJT tried to grab Ms Finland's pussy he missed and grabbed her taint instead.

Come on dudette, give him credit anyway. He is 70 years old.
