I heard the reason why gullible isn't in the dictionary is because of Pizzagate.
Tell that to all the kids that have been molested and then killed by the RCC. and their customers.
Orgy Island isn't a fake news story and the same element is mentioned in both 'stories'. It is really quite sad that some people believe all the fake news about Trump but excuse all the verified crimes of the Clinton klan, No wonder the swamp is so big and deep, the public have been well trained to not be able to think for themselves. Did yoiu know it was a Mossad operation which pretty much means they are neck deep in all of the mollesting and killing of those children. No wonder God is so pissed with them.

The Trump administration appears to have broken the tradition of letting the US intelligence community advise on executive orders before they are made public, Mark Rossini, a former agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, told Radio Sputnik, commenting on the rocky relationship between the two.

"What I think has gotten people really angry at the intel community is [Trump's] use of executive orders and decisions. Prior to President Trump intel agencies were given an opportunity to review every executive order that was to come out and weigh in on it because the President of the United States, whether other countries and world leaders agree with us or not, is the most powerful human being on the face of the planet and his, or one day her, utterances have an immediate ripple effect," he said.
Rossini maintained that cooperation between the executive branch and the intelligence community is a "healthy thing."
Rossini also expressed doubt that the US intelligence agencies have pursued a "nefarious" agenda, "wishing to undermine democracy." They are apparently driven by a desire to "maintain healthy democracy," he suggested.
President Donald Trump and the US intelligence community have been off to a rough start. Russia's alleged meddling in the internal affairs of the United States and the Trump team's supposed ties with Moscow have been a major point of contention. In addition, President Trump suggested that the US intelligence community could have leaked information which could be detrimental to the administration.

According to the most recent rumors, US intelligence officers have withheld sensitive information from the president due to concerns that it could be compromised. CIA Director Mike Pompeo has denied these allegations.
Rossini described this situation as "quite unprecedented," saying that he was not sure what could be done to resolve the issue. He suggested that President Trump should meet with the intelligence community and listen to their grievances so that they could sort out the issues which have plagued the bilateral relationship.
"That might be the only thing at this point that can happen to stop this back and forth, this disfunctionality,"he said.

I'm amazed that the pizza thing hasn't gone away and that it's now expanded to include Mike Pence. Dan Bones and the Pizza Snifflers are so gullible, they'll believe anything. I shouldn't be surprised that after all this they're still suckers for it. At some point the lizard people, chemtrails, tinfoil hats and illuminati were just one story and like all conspiracy theories they expanded to include everything. We are witnessing the beginning of a grand theory future generations will use as shorthand to mock nutcases and easily fooled rubes.

Just how far does the rabbit hole go?


mmmmmmm infinite rabbit pizza

“a detailed and embarrassing readout of Trump’s call with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto,”

Ouch! That's gotta hurt....well actually, probably not considering the low expectations we now have for this administration

Sad.

Most places would have connected the dots but I can understand why it hasn't happened yet. For those that cannot read and comprehend it is basically saying that the CIA is in charge of what EO's are passed and which ones are not. Passed after the CIA has made the changes they want, rather than what the President wants and what the people of the US would want. Not that surprising once you consider the backbone of the CIA is made up of Nazi SS soldiers that should have been hung rather than being given sanctuary in the US along with positions that put them in control of the US secret police. You know the ones that train terrorists and overthrow elected governments in the Mid-east. (Israel is not a democracy as it is made up of Jews who gained the power through acys of war on the native population who were unarmed)
It really looks like Operation Paperclip was actually a soft coup and it was highly successful, at least until Trump came along with the intention of dismantling the corrupt apparatus

One of the better summations for the ones here with a short attention span, basically called 'the usual suspects'.

National security experts worry Flynn was ‘just the tip of the iceberg’

He’s the third member of Trump’s campaign team to be investigated by the FBI over ties to Russia.

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn may have stepped down from his post Tuesday, but concerns over the nature of the relationship between the Trump administration and Russia still remain.

Flynn’s resignation comes less than a month after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States and comes amid allegations he had discussed sanctions with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey I. Kislyak. He’s also the third member of the Trump campaign team to be investigated by the FBI. With such strong links between team Trump and the Kremlin, Flynn’s resignation doesn’t placate concerns about the relations; it intensifies them.

“Flynn’s resignation is just the tip of the iceberg,” Vikram J. Singh, the Vice President for National Security and International Policy at the Center for American Progress, told ThinkProgress. “When the President’s campaign manager [Paul Manafort] resigned because of ties to Russia and six months later the National Security Adviser resigns because of suspicious ties to Russia, you don’t need much more to conclude there’s a smoke filled room and to see if a fire is burning somewhere.” (ThinkProgress is an editorially independent news site housed at the Center for American Progress.)

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was removed from team Trump after his shady dealings with pro-Russian figures in Ukraine drew national attention. Former Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and Roger Stone were among the three team members, along with Flynn, investigated by the FBI for their ties to Russia. And two days after Trump’s election victory in November, Sergei A. Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister claimed Russian officials were in contact with members of Trump’s “immediate entourage.”

Russia is a red herring. The political and media establishment view Trump's clear bias towards a moral, constitutional, integral nation state controlled by an electorate.. as clear threat to its championing of an amoral, ideological, globalist empire controlled by capital. Russia has absolutely NOTHING to do with the internal struggle for control of America and the West. It is simply being used as leverage against the forces of nationalism.

You are fake news.

Mike Flynn & FBI Investigation: Bureau Had No Basis for It | National Review
ational Security Adviser Michael Flynn was dismissed amid a torrent of mainstream-media reporting and disgraceful government leaks (but I repeat myself). Among the most intriguing was a New York Times report the morning after Flynn’s resignation, explaining that the former three-star Army general and head of the Defense Intelligence Agency was “grilled” by FBI agents “about a phone call he had had with Russia’s ambassador.” No fewer than seven veteran Times reporters contributed to the story, the Gray Lady having dedicated more resources to undermining the Trump administration than the Republican Congress has to advancing Trump’s agenda. Remarkably, none of the able journalists appears to have asked a screamingly obvious question — a question that would have been driving press coverage had an Obama administration operative been in the Bureau’s hot seat. On what basis was the FBI investigating General Flynn? To predicate an investigation under FBI guidelines, there must be good-faith suspicion that (a) a federal crime has been or is being committed, (b) there is a threat to American national security, or (c) there is an opportunity to collect foreign intelligence relevant to a priority established by the executive branch. These categories frequently overlap — e.g., a terrorist will typically commit several crimes in a plot that threatens national security, and when captured he will be a source of foreign intelligence. Categories (a) and (b) are self-explanatory. It is category (c), intelligence collection, that is most pertinent to our consideration of Flynn. At first blush, this category seems limitless: unmooring government investigators from the constraints that normally confine their intrusions on our liberty (e.g., snooping, search warrants, interrogations) to situations in which there is real reason to suspect unlawful or dangerous activity. Intelligence collection, after all, is just the gathering of information that can be refined into a reliable basis for decisions by policymakers. As we shall see, it is not limitless. But we should understand why it needs to be broad. Most people think of the FBI as a federal police department that does gumshoe detective work, albeit at a high level and with peerless forensic capabilities. That, indeed, is how I thought of the FBI for my first eight years as a federal prosecutor, before I began investigating terrorism cases and became acquainted with the FBI’s night job. Turns out the FBI’s house has a whole other wing, separate and apart from its criminal-investigation division. Back in pre-9/11 days, this side of the house was called the foreign counter-intelligence division. Now, it is the national-security branch. Whatever the name, it is our domestic security service, protecting the nation against hostile foreign activity — espionage, other hostile intelligence ops, terrorism, acquisition of technology and components of weapons of mass destruction, and so on. Most of the national-security branch’s work is done in secret, never intended to see the light of day in courtroom prosecutions. In some countries, including Britain, domestic security is handled by an agency (MI5) independent of domestic law enforcement (MI6). In our country, it is handled by a single agency, the FBI, based on the assumption (a sound one in my opinion) that the two missions are interrelated and that one can leverage the other more easily under one roof.

BREAKING: Source Of Trump Leaks Has Been Found, And It's Bad
Reported originally by GotNews, the primary source of the information leaks in the Trump administration is none other than #NeverTrump Republican Katie Walsh.
From GotNews: White House Deputy Chief of Staff and #NeverTrump Republican Katie Walsh has been identified as the source behind a bunch of leaks from the Trump administration to The New York Times and other media outlets, according to multiple sources in the White House, media, donor community, and pro-Trump 501(c)4 political group. “Everyone knows not to talk to her in the White House unless you want to see it in the press,” says a source close to the president. “The only question is whether or not she’s doing it at the behest of [White House Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus or if she’s doing it to advance herself in DC media circles.” One source in particular stands out: Walsh is close to Maggie Habberman, a New York Times reporter who wrote fawning pro-Republican National Committee stories during the presidential election. Walsh has also planted stories in The Washington Post and Politico. Walsh is referred to as “Madame President” in the White House, says a senior aide. “It isn’t a compliment.” Walsh would have significant access as she controls the president’s schedule. There’s also reportedly a trove of e-mails where Katie Walsh and Reince Priebus discuss how to rid themselves of Trump, according to a former #NeverTrump consultant. “The president and his allies have been deliberately feeding her fake information in order to find her network,” says a source close to the president’s family. “It’s been going well.” Walsh was a #NeverTrump Republican during the campaign. Neither Walsh nor her family were supporters during the campaign, says a source from Walsh’s hometown of St. Louis. A White House investigation is planned into Walsh, who couldn’t be reached for comment.

The US security services are monitoring conversations of Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Michael Flynn announced his decision to resign on February 14 amid a growing controversy surrounding his conversation with Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak before Trump's inauguration. In his resignation letter, Flynn noted he had not given Vice President Mike Pence complete information about his conversations with Kislyak.
"In relation to the scandal that was built up regarding Flynn, who only worked as Trump’s adviser for several weeks, the US security services told reporters absolutely officially, albeit anonymously, that for example communications, as they said, of our ambassador Kislyak are being routinely monitored," Lavrov told a press conference.
Flynn’s phone talks with Kislyak have raised questions about whether the he broke a law forbidding private US citizens from engaging with foreign nations about diplomatic disputes. Retired Lt. Gen. Joseph Keith Kellogg Jr. has been named acting US national security adviser following Flynn's resignation.
Earlier in Febrary, Lavrov spoke of ongoing attempts to recruit Russian diplomats abroad.
