If Russian money helped Trump win the election, you would think conservatives would be outraged

The FBI and five other intelligence and law enforcement agencies are working together on an investigation into whether Russia’s government secretly helped President-elect Donald Trump win the election, according to a new report.

The collaborative probe is partially focused on whether any covert money from the Kremlin financed hacking operations to benefit Trump’s campaign, McClatchy reported Wednesday.

Two people familiar with the matter told McClatchy the intelligence agencies involved include the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency (NSA) and representatives for the director of national intelligence. Two law enforcement agencies — the Justice Department and the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — are also participating.

According to McClatchy, the interagency working group is informal and began scrutinizing possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race last spring. A key mission of the six-agency team, it said, is examining who financed the email hacks of major Democratic Party sources last year.

      Then it’ll be up to the media.

      Oh, that’s right…what media?

        I’m not too hopeful about the big media.

        This is embarrassing for them. They got totally played by Putin and Trump, and they stupidly fell for it.

      That’s why BHO44 mandated their completion during his term. IG investigating DT, Inc and his campaign will live on forever…

    This election should go into the history books with a Barry Bonds-esque asterisk:
    Victory went to Trump … with a major assist from Putin and Comey.

      I have been spelling it Trump* for several days now.

    The pee’ing hookers got all the headlines but there is even scarier charges in that report.

    One of the most shocking is that Trump has been a Kremlin asset for at least eight years.

    No. Not James Bond.

    Putin is keenly interested in what his rival oligarch’s were doing in America. Trump was in a very good position to know what deals and relationships they were making in the US.

    The reward for this was sizable shares in Rosneft, the state run oil company. Such shares might look bad in a tax return.

    Let’s just say that the Feebs are not really neutral on the subject… or sure as hell don’t appear to be.

    Remember when Obama was a “secret Muslim” who sided with the terrorists? And when Obama had a “deep seeded hatred of white people”? Did any of his liberal supporters turn on him despite the constant barrage of slander by the right-wing?
    And we think this strategy will work against Trump?

    The first black male President may be followed by the first blackmailed President.
