>Former CIA Director John Brennan said on Tuesday that he does not know whether President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia but that he saw "information and intelligence that was worthy of investigation."

>In addition, the country's top intelligence official, Dan Coats, declined to say, as reported by the Washington Post, whether Trump had asked him to publicly deny that any evidence exists on collusion between his campaign and Moscow.

>The two men testified at separate congressional hearings amid a political storm in Washington over the fallout from Trump's firing on May 9 of FBI Director James Comey. Comey's dismissal came in the middle of an FBI probe into Russian meddling in the election and possible collusion with Trump's campaign, leading to accusations by Trump critics that the Republican president has sought to curtail the FBI inquiry, which could potentially amount to obstruction of justice.

>Brennan, testifying to the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, said it became clear last summer that Russia was trying to interfere in the presidential election, and that he warned the head of Russia's FSB security service that such interference would hurt U.S. ties.

>"It should be clear to everyone Russia brazenly interfered in our 2016 presidential election process and that they undertook these activities despite our strong protests and explicit warning that they do not do so," Brennan said.

>Republican Representative Trey Gowdy asked Brennan, "Did you see evidence of collusion, coordination and conspiracy between Donald Trump and Russian state actors?"
>>
>"I saw information and intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau (FBI) to determine whether or not such cooperation or collusion was taking place," Brennan replied. "I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign," he added.

>He declined to elaborate, saying the information was classified. The hearing was due to go into closed session to discuss classified information after Brennan's public testimony.

>U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in January that Moscow tried to tilt the election campaign in Trump's favor, including by hacking into and leaking the emails of senior Democrats. Moscow has denied the allegation. Trump has denied any collusion but the FBI and congressional probes into the Russia matter have dogged the early months of his presidency.

>At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Republican John McCain pressed Director of National Intelligence Coats on the Washington Post report that Trump had asked Coats and Admiral Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, to help him knock down the notion that there was evidence of such collusion.

>Coats sidestepped the question but did not deny that Trump made the request. Coats said he and Trump "discuss a number of topics on a very regular basis" but "I don't feel it's appropriate to characterize discussions and conversations with the president."

>The Post reported Coats and Rogers declined the request.

>Coats said he had "no documents to make relevant," when asked by a senator whether he would turn over memos about any conversations he might have had with Trump about the investigation into the Russia matter.
>>
>Coats also decried leaks relating to U.S. intelligence, telling the committee, "Lives are at stake in many instances and leaks jeopardize those lives."

>Brennan, who departed as CIA chief when Trump took office in January, said he believed he was the first U.S. official to raise the matter of election interference with the Russians, citing an Aug. 4, 2016 phone call he had with the head of Russia's FSB security service, Alexander Bortnikov.

>He said he raised media reports of Russian attempts to meddle in the election with Bortnikov, who denied any involvement by Moscow. Brennan said he later briefed congressional leaders about the intelligence agencies' finding on Russian interference in August and September.

even lawyers advise that the best thing to do in these sitations is to shut up and let the investigation come out empty. This is due to the fact that defensiveness is linked to guilty emotions http://www.kellevision.com/kellevision/2010/02/on-being-defensive.html

Yes, since prosecutors normally release their evidence to the public prior to any trial taking place. Oh wait.

Oh, and before you ask. Flynn, at a bare minimum, violated FARA repeatedly and those payments (from Russia and Turkey) could be interpreted as bribes. As bribes they would be one of the trigger offenses defined in RICO and would make any party who knew about those payments and yet allowed Flynn to re-obtain security clearance and become National Security Adviser anyway (e.g. Pence and Trump who were both warned repeatedly about Flynn) parties to a conspiracy to accept those bribes and also makes any attempts to obstruct an investigation into those bribes additional RICO offenses. The unreported payments accepted by Manafort would be additional.RICO counts for bribery against all members of the conspiracy.

And that's without even looking at obstruction of justice as a separate change against Trump personally, and his probable legal jeopardy in a RICO investigation into Russian money laundering into the Trump campaign.

Releasing their evidence isn't the same thing as confirming whether or not it exists.

He couldn't even do that. Because it doesn't exist, and he didn't want to admit it publicly. Feinstein who is on the Senate Committee on intelligence of course already has, but that doesn't count for some reason.

>Flynn, at a bare minimum, violated FARA repeatedly and those payments (from Russia and Turkey) could be interpreted as bribes.
"We're sure he at least did this. So sure, we might be able to interpret them as bribes. Maybe. Because we're so sure. We think."

>And that's without even looking at obstruction of justice as a separate change against Trump personally,
Which there are exactly zero examples of, given that requesting people publicly state there's no valid evidence against someone when it's true isn't a crime.

That's just not true. There is no constitutional provision for anulling an election.

However, the misconduct that the investigation has already uncovered will result in the exercise of the constitutional provision that *does* apply.

>>142779
>Releasing their evidence isn't the same thing as confirming whether or not it exists.

Prosecutors don't do that either.

And Brennan couldn't do that because he, by law, can't and didn't investigate US persons. All he can do is pass the intelligence he gathers along to the FBI; they're the ones who deal with evidence, have chain-of-custody procedures, and so on. CIA only does intelligence. You'd know this if you watched the hearing, Brennan was very clear about this.

Feinstein is the usual nonsense. Doesn't matter how many times Hannity plays it back - not only is her response qualified to anything she'd be allowed to share publicly, but there's no reason to expect that the gang of 8 *would* be shown evidence - what oversight purpose does that serve?

>"We're sure he at least did this. So sure, we might be able to interpret them as bribes. Maybe. Because we're so sure. We think."
You ignored the part where accepting the payments without getting DoD approval puts him squarely in the crosshairs of the UCMJ. And the part where he fails to disclose the payments on his security clearance forms, signed under penalty of perjury.

> Which there are exactly zero examples of, given that requesting people publicly state there's no valid evidence against someone when it's true isn't a crime.
You think they leaked the *most* damaging memos as an opening salvo? And we've heard nothing so far from Pompeo. It was having the CIA try to get the FBI to back off that formed Nixon's obstruction charge. There's a reason POTUS is lawyering up.

They are prima facie FARA violations, but FARA violations would only put Flynn himself in legal jeopardy for accepting undisclosed payments from Turkey and Russia. The point was that those same payments could be indicted as bribes instead of or in addition to FARA violations and as bribes they would meet the requirements to make it a RICO case and therefore make anyone who knew about the payments and still made Flynn National Security Advisor and got him security clearance as RICO co-conspirators.

Remember we already have had multiple people state on the record that they specifically warned Pence and Trump about Flynn's foreign payments prior to his being named National Security Advisor. Making it a RICO case would also make any attempt to obstruct the investigation into additional RICO counts against all the conspirators.

You also seem to forget that FISA warrants were granted against Flynn so the FBI has literally everything Flynn said on the phone on tape.

And as I said previously, that's only ONE of the investigations. The investigation into illegal Russian money laundering into the Trump campaign and the Republican party is potentially MUCH more explosive, but these types of investigations are MUCH slower so I would expect we won't have a good idea of what the outcome of that one is going to be for a couple of years.

LMAO Michael Flynn retroactively registered HIMSELF as a foreign agent under FARA for the payments he accepted from Turkey you fucking moron. His retroactive registration is a prima facie admission he was previously in violation of that act.

"Yesterday, news broke that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had been paid $530,000 for his work lobbying for a Turkish firm with connections to that country’s government during the presidential campaign, as revealed by documents Flynn filed with the Department of Justice to register retroactively as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act."

https://www.lawfareblog.com/flynn-fisa-and-fara-foreign-principals-and-agents-foreign-powers

Flynn also admitted to the undisclosed payments from Russian sources in a document HE SIGNED HIMSELF

"In a form signed by Flynn on March 31, the former White House official listed speaking engagements to Russian entities, including the Kremlin-funded RT TV, Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Kaspersky Government Security Solutions Inc, a U.S. subsidiary of Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab."

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-flynn-idUSKBN17401F
>>
>>142940

Now, the next piece in the puzzle: Were Trump and Pence aware of these foreign payments and that Flynn may be acting on behalf of foreign interests?

"Sally Yates, the former acting United States attorney general who drew the ire of President Donald Trump for issuing instructions to the Department of Justice not to defend his first travel ban executive order, testified that she informed the White House counsel that the Department of Justice believed that then–national security adviser Michael Flynn could be subject to blackmail by the Russian government. "

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/acting-attorney-general-fired-trump-set-testify-russias/story?id=47263460

"President Barack Obama warned then-President-elect Donald Trump not to hire retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn as his national security adviser during their 90-minute Oval Office meeting last November, two former Obama administration officials confirmed to ABC News."

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-warned-trump-hiring-flynn-oval-office-meeting/story?id=47276121

HURR FAKE NEWS! I hear you grasp at, but Spicer confirmed the warning occured:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/spicer-confirms-obama-warned-trump-about-flynn/2017/05/08/ec8f5d06-3412-11e7-ab03-aa29f656f13e_video.html

So it's already well established that Trump and Pence were warned about Flynn and hired him anyway.
>>
>>142940

So now lets look at RICO:

"(1) “racketeering activity” means [...] (B) any act which is indictable under any of the following provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201 (relating to bribery)"

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-96

Oh, what does Title 18, Section 201 say?

"(b) Whoever— [...] (2) being a public official or person selected to be a public official, directly or indirectly, corruptly demands, seeks, receives, accepts, or agrees to receive or accept anything of value personally or for any other person or entity, in return for:
(A) being influenced in the performance of any official act;
(B) being influenced to commit or aid in committing, or to collude in, or allow, any fraud, or make opportunity for the commission of any fraud, on the United States; or
(C) being induced to do or omit to do any act in violation of the official duty of such official or person;
[...]
shall be fined under this title or not more than three times the monetary equivalent of the thing of value, whichever is greater, or imprisoned for not more than fifteen years, or both, and may be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/201

So that establishes that being a person selected to be a public official and accepting money to be influenced in the performance of an official act meets the statutory requirement for bribery, and therefore a RICO predicate.

"The investigation stems from the work Flynn did for Inovo BV, a Dutch company owned by Alptekin, the Turkish businessman. On Aug. 9, Flynn and the Flynn Intel Group signed a contract with Inovo for $600,000 over 90 days to run an influence campaign aimed at discrediting Fethullah Gulen, an reclusive cleric who lives in Pennsylvania and whom Erdogan has accused of orchestrating a failed coup in Turkey last summer.

When he was hired by Alptekin, Flynn did not register as a foreign agent, as required by law when an American represents the interests of a foreign government. Only in March did he file a retroactive registration with the Justice Department because his lawyer, Robert K. Kelner, said that “the engagement could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey.”"

"Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, did not reveal payments he received from three Russia-connected entities on a financial disclosure form he filed upon joining the Trump administration.

Flynn ultimately filed two financial disclosure forms, one Feb. 11 and one on Friday. On the first form, filed days before Trump asked Flynn to resign as national security adviser for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about a conversation Flynn had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., the retired Army lieutenant general omitted payments he received for three speeches to Russian companies.

One of the companies was RT, a media outlet funded by the Russian government. Documents released by a congressional committee show that Flynn was paid $45,000 for that appearance.

The other two companies were the Volga-Dnepr Group, a Russian air-cargo company; and Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, a U.S. subsidiary of a leading Russian cybersecurity firm."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/02/flynn-initially-failed-to-disclose-russia-linked-payments-on-ethics-form.html

"Michael Flynn submitted a personal financial disclosure form to federal ethics officials that failed to note speaking fees he received from Russia-related entities in 2015, new filings show.

Flynn later noted the payments on an amended form he signed Friday that listed among his sources of income the Russian government-backed television network RT, a U.S. air cargo company affiliated with the Volga-Dnepr Group and the U.S. subsidiary of Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab.

The White House released both sets of the forms Saturday as part of a broad release of documents detailing the financial holdings of top administration officials."

This is what the subject of the FBI investigation was before it was widened after the election. If there is any singular thing that will take both of them down it's proof of this. So far the only publicly released evidence is circumstantial. The rebuttal by the White House is that no evidence has been found, which gets parroted endlessly in right wing media, so it plays into their narrative and only makes his core supporters doubt whatever new evidence is found. What is really disturbing is watching Congressional GOP leaders squirm and dither every time someone brings up the subject. I'm starting to think the most that will happen is Trump will be impeached with censure only like Bill Clinton. But there are many shoes yet to drop.

First you have to establish that Flynn was in actual fact influenced by the money he received. Towards that end:

"One of the Trump administration’s first decisions about the fight against the Islamic State was made by Michael Flynn weeks before he was fired – and it conformed to the wishes of Turkey, whose interests, unbeknownst to anyone in Washington, he’d been paid more than $500,000 to represent.

The decision came 10 days before Donald Trump had been sworn in as president, in a conversation with President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, who had explained the Pentagon’s plan to retake the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa with Syrian Kurdish forces whom the Pentagon considered the U.S.’s most effective military partners. Obama’s national security team had decided to ask for Trump’s sign-off, since the plan would all but certainly be executed after Trump had become president.

Flynn didn’t hesitate. According to timelines distributed by members of Congress in the weeks since, Flynn told Rice to hold off, a move that would delay the military operation for months.

If Flynn explained his answer, that’s not recorded, and it’s not known whether he consulted anyone else on the transition team before rendering his verdict. But his position was consistent with the wishes of Turkey, which had long opposed the United States partnering with the Kurdish forces – and which was his undeclared client.

Trump eventually would approve the Raqqa plan, but not until weeks after Flynn had been fired. "

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article151149647.html

"Michael Flynn wrote an op-ed on Election Day calling for the U.S. to kick out an anti-government Turkish cleric without disclosing he was being paid by a firm linked to the Turkish government, according to documents newly filed with the Justice Department."

Just coincidence. We don't know the full story. Maybe Flynn made the right call. It's all liberal lies facts anyways. Why do you hate America so much?

>>142973
"The Flynn-Kislyak conversations occurred during Trump's transition in late December, when the Obama administration announced sanctions and expulsions of Russian diplomats for Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 election. In a telephone conversation shortly before the announcement - monitored by U.S. intelligence as part of regular surveillance of Kislyak - Flynn discussed the measures and suggested the possibility of sanctions relief once Trump was president.

Putin, to the surprise of many, announced that Russia would not retaliate.

On Feb. 9, when The Washington Post reported that Flynn and Kislyak had spoken, Spicer denied that sanctions were discussed, saying the call had centered only on "logistics" of a future Putin-Trump call. When Vice President Mike Pence asked Flynn for details, Flynn assured him there had been no sanctions conversation - an assurance that Pence repeated on national television.

It was that television appearance that led Yates to request an urgent meeting with McGahn, informing him that there were transcripts of the Flynn conversations. The Russians knew Flynn had lied to the vice president, Yates said, leaving him in a compromised position."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-white-house-fire-michael-flynn-20170509-story.html
>>
>>142972
Too bad Spicer even directly confirmed that Yates warned them 18 days before they fired Flynn that Flynn had discussed lifting the sanctions against Russia with Kislyiak:

"For the next 18 days after Yates talked with McGahn, Trump appears to have taken no action on Flynn, who continued to serve in his post as national security adviser. Only when word of Yates’s warning reached the Washington Post, and the paper was getting set to publish, did Flynn finally resign. By comparing Yates’s testimony about Flynn’s departure to past statements made by the Trump administration, it appears that the resignation set off a fresh round of deception in the White House.

On February 14, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, characterized Yates’s warning as “a heads-up.”

“The White House counsel informed the president immediately,” Spicer said. “The president asked him to conduct a review of whether there was a legal situation there. That was immediately determined that there wasn’t.”"

https://theintercept.com/2017/05/08/sally-yates-testimony-shows-white-house-lied-about-michael-flynn/
