Now it comes the bullshitter in chief is lying to his/our VP about things not top secret. The rest of us too but we know he never going to be honest with us.
Kind of interesting when you consider if it came to Pence as Pres from DT's passing he would have no idea whether what he knew what accurate, or maybe even worse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Just six days into his presidency, Donald Trump was informed his national security adviser had misled his vice president about contacts with Russia. Trump kept his No. 2 in the dark and waited nearly three weeks before ousting the aide, Michael Flynn, citing a slow but steady erosion of trust, White House officials said.

This is real cute, no surprises though.

Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald Trump's presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing four current and former U.S. officials.

U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said, according to the Times.

The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election, the newspaper said.

The officials interviewed in recent weeks said they had seen no evidence of such cooperation so far, it said.

However, the intercepts alarmed U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in part because of the amount of contact that was occurring while Trump was speaking glowingly about Russian President Vladimir Putin.


The intercepted calls are different from the wiretapped conversations last year between Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, and Sergei I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, the Times said.

Link to the article does not work.

Would certainly like to know who are "four current and US officials".

A lot of these articles just cruise under the anonymous flag.

His unnamed sources seem to have provided truthful information, something Trump seems unwilling or unable to do.

And the parade of Corporate Democrat shills continues unabated.

None of them willing to acknowledge that Obama could ever do anything bad.

Getting your information from the mainstream media is the same as getting it from the Ministry of Truth via the Telescreen.

For example, take the Washington Post, Finn's "Gold Standard" which is now own by a dude worth 72 BILLION bucks.

The Washington Post has for years been a newspaper that favors Democrats and liberalism generally. This has been seen in the kind and quality of issues covered, and not covered, in its feature and investigative stories, and in its editorials. But not until this year has the paper so grossly abandoned the practice of separating news from opinion in its news stories.

How Sarah of you.
So we can't trust the lamestream media now, Trump would never lie and Fox wouldn't either.

OK. It's obvious the corporate shills aren't going to rest until they have successfully derailed this thread and made it about Trump instead of their Golden Boy Obummer.

So I'll play along with your little game.

First of all the New York Times is blatantly biased and obviously hates Trump.

And second of all, so what if the Russians helped Trump take down Hillary?

She cheated her way to the nomination, so as far as I am concerned it would be poetic justice if she lost the Presidency due to Trump cheating.

What goes around comes around.

The Bitch had it coming.
