Claude Taylor says sources confirm that German intelligence handed over recorded intercepts

Last edited Mon Apr 17, 2017, 08:45 PM - Edit history (1)

that confirm DT/Russia quid pro quo.

This would corroborate Louise Mensch's story today on patribotics.com

https://patribotics.blog/2017/04/16/carter-page-went-to-moscow-with-a-tape-of-donald-trump-offering-treason-for-hacking/

I will produce a short timeline of the Trump-Russia story on this blog tomorrow. For now, the point is that intelligence sources say that Page, Manafort and Epshteyn, possibly also with Trump, are on tape discussing how Page should carry a recording of Donald Trump to Moscow, offering his bona fides in exchange for Russia’s help hacking the election; and that the said tape of Trump was played by Page to Russian intelligence, possibly including Mr. Diveykin, the Russian official in charge of hacking the election; and that multiple foreign intelligence services, among them the UK, Germany and Ukraine, have a tape of this; and that finally, in October, the FBI was able to listen to that tape.


Taylor was on the Bill Clinton White House staff and has worked on 3 Presidential campaigns.

Everything from my network tends to corroborate and support @LouiseMensch and her reporting-nothing's coming through to contradict it.

I wonder when those intercepts were turned over. The more we learn, the more I wonder how much Comey was sitting on before the election when he was all too willing to report on Hillary's emails.

I know not everyone believes what she's claiming, but just as an fyi, she thinks Comey's okay. I was pretty mad about him, too. She thinks that before the election, a Russian hacker inserted something onto the computer (I don't remember if it was Weiner's or his wife's) either remotely or using something that had been installed in an earlier hack, to make it look like he was sexting a young girl. Of course it was a Russian adult hacker. So LM thinks Comey was required to announce it and then worked extremely quickly to clear Hillary before the election.

I'm not saying I'm 100% sure, just providing some more information. If nothing else, I sleep better not being so infuriated about the Comey-email thing!

I am still angry about Comey, but I do try to keep an open mind. If LM is correct, his hand may have been forced.

No matter what the outcome, any major decisions involving other countries need to be out of his grasp, politically if not physically.

The only way to reassure other countries affected by his shenanigans is to remove him from power visibly and completely.

Hundreds of thousands of innocent people will die so Trump the traitor can get the spotlight off of his treason.

America sealed its fate when Trump was elected, I fear.

There are a handful of freelance reporters who are writing about leaks that they're allegedly getting. Taylor appears to be one of those reporters. Some of their topics are based on "informed speculation," much of it logically plausible.

The tape (possibly tapes) of Trump I have reported to night exist. Comey has so much on Team Treason he won't need them, but he has them.

But anyone who thinks that the investigation should be completed by now couldn't have lived through the 2+ years of Watergate.

the last thing we need is a fake story planted to deliberately distract, discredit and destroy the story and any potential investigation into Russia and who they were colluding with in the US like how the Repugnants took out Dan Rather when they sought a way to protect Bush over his military service.

and Bannon...not so much.

If someone says there's a tape of dumb people being Dumb, then I'm inclined to believe it.
To the above poster re Comey: I would bet that CIA knew before the election, went to Obama. Obama briefs Comey and tells him to start the domestic arm of the investigation, and don't worry about Hillary every reputable poll has her winning this thing walking away so don't let the cat out of the bag to the traitors just for that...maintain the integrity of the investigation on FBIs end because CIA doesn't have the Power to indict people. When Trump ended up winning, my bet was it threw Comey for a loop just like everyone else and he got orders to go back and double and triple check every T and I to not only make damn sure everything was in order before January, but to ensure that what work had been done couldn't be UNdone by Trumpy and Crew. I don't think Comeys the Bag Guy (yet...Obama trusted him to head FBI and that says something to me about the man's character).
