Intel says Donald Trump agreed to let Russia have Ukraine in exchange for hacking election
http://www.palmerreport.com/news/donald-trump-ukraine-russia-hacking-election/808/
Donald is going to wet his pants, Tweetstorm at 12 o'clock!
In the hours since an intelligence report about Donald Trump and Russia went public which the FBI, NSA and CIA all thought was credible enough to brief the President on, most of the focus has been on Trump’s alleged sexual antics included in the report. It included everything from Trump being involved with Russian prostitutes, to Russia videotaping it all and planning to blackmail him. But there’s another, potentially more serious accusation in the report: Trump agreed to let Russia have Ukraine in return for its role in helping him get elected.
The accusations in the intel report in question, which came from a former British MI6 intelligence officer, have not yet been proven. All we know thus far is that the U.S. intel community did consider the report viable enough that it briefed both President Obama and Trump himself on the matter. The most damning passage may be the following, which appears on pages seven and eight:
“Inter alia, Source E, acknowledged that the Russian regime had been behind the recent leak of embarrassing e-mail messages, emanating from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), to the WikiLeaks platform. The reason for using WikiLeaks was “plausible deniability? and the operation had been conducted with the full knowledge and support of TRUMP and senior members of his campaign team. In return the TRUMP team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue and to raise defence commitments in the Baltics and Eastern Europe to de?ect attention away from Ukraine, 3 priority for PUTIN who needed to cauterise the subject.”
If this particular detail of the intel report can be proven, it represents treason and it would almost certainly result in Trump’s eventual impeachment.
My quick take:
1. "have not been proven"
2. If Obama was briefed but Obama did nothing then Obama is...
3. How is it that all between Bob Baer and this yuckle all the supposedly damning reports against Trump are coming from "former" intel officers? How do former employees generate all the products?
4. It's weird how leaks of emails from the DNC talking about how to cheat at its own primaries is treason but suddenly leaking what is claimed to be a secret intelligence report citing sources is the key to saving the world

2. So who is the Palmer Report? I never heard of them, and some of the statements are very
suspicious.

4. but hillary's i.t. guy didn't keep up with microsoft security updates and podesta's risotto recipe..
the media and republicans are so horrible these days that even if this could be proven, they probably still wouldn't impeach him.
in truth, the golden shower thing has a better chance of resulting in impeachment.

12. I'd love to get Trump. . . . . . Legitimately. Such junk doesn't help us, unless confirmed.
When Hoyt is your voice of reason you're ****ed.

14. From the Palmer Report
Right now I'd imagine the House Republicans are sitting around asking each other whether they think they can prop up Trump long enough to ram their own legislation through, or whether they need to turn against him to save their own skin. But I seriously doubt much of that conversation has to do with what's best for America. Why would they start caring now?
Sure. Okay, little fella. Whatever makes you feel better.

21. I'm guessing right about now Melania's
thinking she's going to have to go back to nude modeling. If the facts are borne out she'll eviscerate him. I do believe infidelity renders a pre-nup null and void. And since Trump is probably already bankrupt and the Russians will cut him off she's going to soon be looking for an apartment of the rent-controlled variety.
