Could the leaks to our press also be from foreign intel agencies?

[eleny]

Malcolm Nance has been saying how we've been getting intel from our allies about the Russian contact with Trump campaign aides. So do you think that those agencies are among the leakers to the press?

I'd believe that they leak to their own press. But if they leak to the American press then Trump can't do much about that except shake his fist at the sky.

Don't miss HipChick's posting of Kurt Eichenwald's Raw Story article of today about our allies, their intel and motivations for sharing what they intercepted. A must read. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028656102
I hope someone snags him for interviews on tv tonight.

1. I would like to see video of SCROTUS shaking his fist at the sky.

His jowls would wobble; his "hair" would fly around, exposing his bald spots and the Man-Tan line on his forehead; and his double-length cheap Chinese necktie would flap in the wind and the Scotch tape would come off, doubling the flapping-tie exhibit. It would be a sight to behold.

2. I don't see why not, if they have the tapes, could be foreign, we now know at least one call was

also intercepted by an ally which worried them.

3. There's a complex network. The leaks could be coming from anywhere.

An incidental part of the leak could even be intentionally falsified to conceal the source.

I'm guessing here that Trumpy's "criminal" or "un-American" response this morning is evidence of his extraordinary naivete or dim-wittedness. I don't think he had enough time to make up a one or two move strategy. Trumpy thinks in WWE scripts.

That's pretty illuminating, thx!

4. Yes.

5. To some extent friendlies are effectively allowed to snoop within U.S. as a means of skirting

prohibitions on domestic intelligence gathering. Part of the bargain is that they share their findings.

6. As with every administration, there are career employees. Obama dealt with lots from Bush

But this time, the Bush holdovers care evenly less about Trump as the Obama holdovers.
