For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN. As CNN first reported, then-President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama were briefed on the existence of the dossier prior to Trump's inauguration.

None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier. Rather it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.

But the intercepts do confirm that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials. CNN has not confirmed whether any content relates to then-candidate Trump.

The corroboration, based on intercepted communications, has given US intelligence and law enforcement "greater confidence" in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.

3. I believe the dossier

is at least 90% accurate. Trump et al are guilty of collusion with Russians to steal the election. Seems like an enormous crime to me but what do I know.

7. Keep it coming, US law enforcement and CNN.

I will continue practicing patience as long as I see this investigation moving forward. We need to make sure allegations are verified and that they stick. We may only get one shot at these traitors.

Washington (CNN)For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN.

.....Reached for comment this afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, "We continue to be disgusted by CNN's fake news reporting."


Spicer later called back and said, "This is more fake news. It is about time CNN focused on the success the President has had bringing back jobs, protecting the nation, and strengthening relationships with Japan and other nations. The President won the election because of his vision and message for the nation."

9. Somebody in Trumpland is going to be in trouble at some point.

May as well start by tossing Flynn under the bus to begin with.

12. Chump's brainwashed supporters will go ho hum on this

They don't care that the man they voted for is a Russian asset and a traitor. Just another reason to say he is illegitimate. But the stupids will defend him. They are so far gone they will say it is "fake news". And we must get in their faces and say how can you support a man plucked by Russia!

14. Why not call the main suspects in and put them under oath?

Ask them to take a lie detector test. Treat them the way you would treat any government employee you suspect of espionage?
