We need a leak..unlikely to get it from putin, but perhaps the Ukranian president would leak his conversations with the president?
Exclusive: Russia carried out a ‘stunning’ breach of FBI communications system, escalating the spy game on U.S. soil
“These compromises, the full gravity of which became clear to U.S. officials in 2012, gave Russian spies in American cities including Washington, New York and San Francisco key insights into the location of undercover FBI surveillance teams, and likely the actual substance of FBI communications, according to former officials. …Even so, the costs to U.S. intelligence were significant…After the FBI discovered that its surveillance teams’ cellphones had been compromised, they were forced to switch back to encrypted radios, purchasing different models, according to two former officials. “It was an expensive venture,”

On Dec. 29, 2016, the Obama administration announced that it was giving nearly three dozen Russian diplomats just 72 hours to leave the United States and was seizing two rural East Coast estates owned by the Russian government…
It was a very broad effort to try and penetrate our most sensitive operations,” said a former senior CIA official.
American officials discovered that the Russians had dramatically improved their ability to decrypt certain types of secure communications and had successfully tracked devices used by elite FBI surveillance teams. Officials also feared that the Russians may have devised other ways to monitor U.S. intelligence communications, including hacking into computers not connected to the internet…
The Russians are able to extract every capability from any given technology. … They are singularly dangerous in this area.”..
Russian spies also compromised the FBI teams’ backup communications systems — cellphones outfitted with “push-to-talk” walkie-talkie capabilities. “This was something we took extremely seriously,” said a former senior counterintelligence official.
The Russian operation went beyond tracking the communications devices used by FBI surveillance teams, according to four former senior officials. Working out of secret “listening posts” housed in Russian diplomatic and other government-controlled facilities, the Russians were able to intercept, record and eventually crack the codes to FBI radio communications.
Some of the clandestine eavesdropping annexes were staffed by the wives of Russian intelligence officers, said a former senior intelligence official. That operation was part of a larger sustained, deliberate Russian campaign targeting secret U.S. government communications throughout the United States, according to former officials…
… a former senior intelligence official.
The FBI teams were using relatively lightweight radios with limited range, according to former officials. These low-tech devices allowed the teams to move quickly and discreetly while tracking their targets, which would have been more difficult with clunkier but more secure technology, a former official said. But the outdated radios left the teams’ communications vulnerable to the Russians. “The amount of security you employ is the inverse of being able to do things with flexibility, agility and at scale,” said the former official.
A former senior counterintelligence official blamed the compromises on a “hodgepodge of systems” ineffective beyond the line of sight. “The infrastructure that was supposed to be built, they never followed up, or gave us the money for it,” said the former official. “The intelligence community has never gotten an integrated system.”…
…senior counterintelligence officials also feared that someone from within the U.S. government — a Russian mole — may have helped them, said former officials. “You’re wondering, ‘If this is true, and they can do this, is this because someone on the inside has given them that information?’’ said another former senior intelligence official…
Mark Kelton, who served as the chief of counterintelligence at the CIA until he retired in 2015, declined to discuss specific Russian operations, but he told Yahoo News that “the Russians are a professionally proficient adversary who have historically penetrated every American institution worth penetrating.”
This remains a core worry for U.S. spy hunters. The number of ongoing espionage investigations into U.S. government personnel — at the CIA, the FBI and elsewhere — including those potentially recruited by Russia, “is not a little, it’s a lot,” said another former senior counterintelligence official…
There was a “huge concern” about protecting the identities of the individuals on the teams — an elite, secret group — said the former senior counterintelligence official…
some of the FBI’s other Russian assets stopped cooperating with their American handlers. “…
One of those concerns was a massive intelligence failure related to the secret internet-based communications system the CIA used to communicate with agents. The extent of that failure, first reported publicly by Yahoo News in 2018, got the attention of Congress earlier…
At key government facilities in the Washington area, entire floors were converted to sensitive compartmented information facilities, or SCIFs. These are specially protected areas designed to be impenetrable to hostile signals intelligence gathering.
The normal assumption was that work done in a SCIF would be secure, but doubts arose about the safety of even those rooms. “The security guys would say, your windows are ‘tempested’”—that is, protected against the interception of emissions radiating from electronic equipment in the building —“you’re in a SCIF, it’s fine,” a former senior counterintelligence executive recalled. “The question was, ‘Is it true?’”
Increasingly, U.S. officials began to fear it was not…
New security practices were instituted in sensitive government facilities like the FBI and CIA headquarters, according to former officials. “It required many procedural changes on our part to make sure we were not susceptible to penetrations,” said a former senior CIA official. These included basic steps such as moving communication away from windows and changing encryption codes more frequently, as well as more expensive adjustments, said four former officials.
Revelations about the Russian compromise of the radio systems, recalled a former senior intelligence official, “kick-started the money flowing” to upgrade security.

Then why aren’t the demtards doing anything about it?
Elle Krimowa you are allowed to investigate anyone you want hire an investigator . That’s your freedom dumbass
And we wonder why Snowden did it his way :/
@DeskAgent your have anything to say on the topic?
@Layton but but Waaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa 😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫😫 😫 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@Joy Phillips 5 years ago? God fucking move on. Jesus you have nothing recent to share. You’re an idiot too think Trump is clean
@Pamela Wiles Joe Biden 😡Check into John Kerry’s, and Joe Biden’s two adult sons making millions off of the USA taxpayers influence coming from Creppy Joe. Stay Strong Mr. President, for the love of what America stands for! Thank you and your family.
@Pamela Wiles What’s wrong with HOMOSEXUALITY? Let’s start with the DIRT-DOGS, DIRT-PIPES, SCHMEG HARVEST and infected penis hole syrup… Let me know if you’d like more information.
Democrats own the house none of this will change till they grow a pair.
@Peoplekind TDS? My 5 year old is more adult
@Peoplekind TDS. did a 5 year old tell you that?
@Peoplekind I’m a Republican who crossed. Don’t think I’m the only one
@Peoplekind Jesus what an idiot
@Pamela Wiles the fake news media doesn’t tell you what’s actually going on because the Truth doesn’t fit their narrative. The democrat base not only rejects what they don’t want hear, they fight against it. The Mueller report is a perfect example of that. So what you aren’t going to hear and won’t except is, the corruption and blackmail surrounding Bidens son and Biden, and the five signed affidavits by Russian officials that they worked with the last administration to stop Trump from becoming President.
Anderson, you are the best!
@Mickey E Let me guess… you’re a hoto. hahahahahaha
@Mickey E What he said is true. Cooper went through CIA training
He forgot ??
The DON has set up the Dims like the Dims set up General Flynn
This time the Don has allowed a Whistle blower to hear the DON getting information from Ukraine on Joe Biden ?
The “assumption” /sizzle /smoke / bait is that this information is on political rival Joe Biden and was paid for it ??
The proof of Joe Biden s political “Extortion” with Ukraine is confirmed , on film , he brags about it and that CNN continues to run it ?
Getting this information is not a crime but Paying for this dirt is the crime ???
A DOJ senior officials has seen / heard the transcript of the DONs communication and found no “Quid pro quo” by Trump ??? But the film by CNN specifically shows that Joe Biden admits and boasts to Extorting the Ukraine with ZERO’S concurrence ??
Imagine Joe the ex VP and ZERO going off to jail ???
This is exactly what HRC did with the steel dossier report and is being investigated for at this moment ?
The dims are running head long into a vice embarrassment –
And CNN will have to investigate Biden in Ukraine and China ??? again ? And CNN don’t get it ???
I also loved him as the host of the hit show “The Mole”.
Anyone who still believes that Trump isn’t a Russian asset is in cloud cuckoo land.
Like Robert Mueller?
@Dong LeMoan Muller does believe he is a Russian asset. Read the report. The way you idiots keep pretending that thing supports your adamant ignorance is pathetic.

Still believe ?????
This is treason, collusion and obstruction of justice *in broad daylight!*
@DOUGLAS HOTCHKISS I’m being told Obama was tough on Russia! Sure he was like the time he sold Putin 20% of our bomb-grade uranium and soon after Hillary got a $150 million dollar donation to her Clinton Foundation and Bill was given $500,000 for a 30-minute speech in Russia! Of course, the media didn’t raise hell about that little thing!
KesselRunner606 was it considered an impeachable offense when pedofile Joe blackmailed Ukrainian leadership to fire the prosecutor investigating his son, or he was going to withhold millions in funding?
Here’s the link, came from Biden’s own mouth. https://youtu.be/UXA–dj2-CY
KesselRunner606 conspiracy rather than collusion
You talking about Biden forcing a firing of the prosecutor going after his son?
The whistleblower needs to go directly to congress.
@Frenchy Ball yes they can. Might get in trouble but I can go before Congress
@godoggo your fucking idiot. How long ago? I wanna know any of that in the last year. No. BTW idiot that was Iran’s money. It was frozen during hostage crisis. How do you not know that? How do you not know that?
@Joy Phillips copy and paste Joy
@Archer Lansky prove its not true
He can’t directly. That’s not how it works.
He says he’s transparent but refuses and actively blocks the ability to obtain his tax returns…..right transparent 😂
Joshua Williams just like nice clean coal… that’s transparent too don’t ya know.
Who needs foreign enemies?
We got Trump, happily doing their dirty work,
All for a smile & a complement…
And a bit of cash left on the bedside table…
Check this out – collusion

Hmm, maybe the Teflon is starting to peel off…
@philip bender Oh man you really zinged me, please no more Phil Mcraken.
The Hoax is in your pants.
@news now hampton roads read the report. 10 instances of obstruction.
@vrnc M oh 10 instances in report
@philip bender prove it
To be honest, I am worried about the safety of this person. Seeing how this plays out, I doubt if his/her identity will be kept confidential for the president and Barr.
And even if it is kept secret, it is probably not hard to figure out the identity of this person. There are only a limited amount of people to have access to certain information.
Grnt Tylr No I’m not afraid of death but I see no point in useless death for anyone. Just because Mcbrain brain spur takes a whim and backs out of a deal that was made in the best interest of both countries. Wepons of mass destruction was a fabricated and useless war. Which was brought about by 9/11 by the Saudi’s I repeat all but two of the high jackers were from SAUDI Arabia. So to defend them is to make a joke of all who died in the twin towers. All five of my uncles And my father served in the Army branch of the military three of my brothers one Navy. My oldest brother was a Vietnam veteran and Korean war veteran retired inlisted Sargent paratrooper. My forth oldest brother Retired retired Sargent( SWD ) Which requires a top secret clearance, ( Which trumps kid couldn’t obtain without him pulling strings) My only sister is a retired Sargent Major. I myself worked in Iraq as a civilian contractor so no I’m not afraid of death. But blind patriotism is really frightening. Ask any of the men General Custers lead into his last battle. Remember even a stupid general can win a battle when the other general is a wee bit stupider.
@Kenneth Mitchell Well, my hat’s off to both our family’s. You mentioned you were a contractor in Iraq. Contractors can work from food service or security. What did you do over there? Do you have any recent examples of blind American patriotism? Thoughts on selective patriotism? Thoughts on me being a God fearing, Patriotic, conservative (in that order)?
Okkie Trooy Awww, dont be worried. The media will let us all know it never happened soon. It’ll be ok 👌🏾
@Grnt Tylr how do you know it’s a man? No one should answer your bullshit questions. You won’t believe it so why try?
Because Trump hasn’t been held accountable for past misdeeds, he’s now emboldened to break more laws.
Why so many cover ups in the white house
Cause CNN won’t report it ??

@Dan G Looks like you didnt get it either ??
“most transparent” really ? What about them tax returns?
nobody seems to know what was said lets just wait and see it well all come out
Then impeach him……….oh wait, Republicans own the Senate
@Kenny Cyrus /
Did he promise to send ‘Free fuel and Nuclear Tech’ to North Korea? Ohh no, that was Clinton..
Did he promise and deliver $150,000,000 Billion on pallets to Iran? Ohh no, that was Obama.
Did he promise to be More flexible to Putin after election? Ohh no, that was Obama also and caught on video tape saying it. Dems are Mostly Delusional!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWOR-ShbdRw
godoggo I agree.
@godoggo well for one, you are a moron if you believe any talks Clinton had with North Korea was about anything other than ending their nuclear program, if offering fuel and energy technology ended their nuclear weapons program it would of been worth it. And really bud $150,000,000 Billion on pallets to Iran? you believe that? You seriously believe any thing you hear don’t you? And it was Obama in his 2nd term in office that put sanctions on Russia, and voted to kick Putin out of the G8, both of which Trump has tried to repeal.
And why is it the right can only come up with endless “whataboutism” arguments when it comes to Trump? You know neither Clinton or Obama are president now right?
@Kenny Cyrus Before you call someone else blind, you really should learn to spell and think critically. Otherwise you will continue to make a fool of yourself without even realizing it.
chansetwo I am thinking critically by doing research on all the lies and twisting of words to fit there fake news narrative. Fake news is owned by 6 corporations spinning and hiding lies from both republicans and democrats. Where is there outrage when corrupt government was selling uranium to Russia. Anyone that is not blind would question this far worst event. This isn’t if you dislike Trump or not, but they trick the blind by twisting the truth. They also have admitted investigating Ted Cruz, I guess he is a Russian spy too. Question why would they keep doing investigation after investigation, so they can scream bs like this.
Im sick and tired of the same crap stop talking about this clwn just impeach him
Impeachment is not going to do any good now. It will take forever and impeachment is not removal. Removal is a separate process. Impeachment has to be instigated by the House then must be ratified by the Senate and the majority of Republicans will vote it down. I’m not debating that Trump needs to be removed but saying that he has now shown us that trying to remove him has become nearly impossible no matter how illegal his actions. That system is now showing us it’s not effective. We need to fix the system so this never happens again and no President can just declare himself above the law. Let’s pray 2020 gets him out!
For what there is nothing to impeach him for you can’t impeach him on made up stories there is no Whistleblower this was started by msm and they all
jump on it they started trying for improvement the day he won. How many time have they said this is it his out for three years and all they found
is that democrats spied on him.
@bry smith Typical. You have just decided that there is no evidence based on…..Oh, right! I forgot Trump can never be wrong and evidence isn’t necessary for that conclusion! GRRR!
Too Much power to a President. Founders never envisioned A Pres. Being the Puppet Of A Foreign Adversary.
Adam Schiff is no longer just a joke, he is a waste of time as well
