It’s a thread to distract from the FBI agent who was investigating Trump for russian collusion, and now that FBI agent has been convicted of colluding with Russia and sentenced to 50 months in jail. |

Nobody can ever make a post about the actual gossip in the dossier that has been proven. The FBI offered Steele one million usd to prove the dossier and he was unable to do so. FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to prove dossier claims, senior FBI analyst testifies By Marshall Cohen Updated 5:42 PM EDT, Fri October 14, 2022 Alexandria, Virginia(CNN) Shortly before the 2016 election, the FBI offered retired British spy Christopher Steele "up to $1 million" to prove the explosive allegations in his dossier about Donald Trump, a senior FBI analyst testified Tuesday. The cash offer was made during an overseas October 2016 meeting between Steele and several top FBI officials who were trying to corroborate Steele's claims that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia to win the election. FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten testified that Steele never got the money because he could not "prove the allegations." https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/11/politics/steele-dossier-fbi-durham-danchenko/index.html The FBI’s Million-Dollar Dossier That’s what the bureau offered Christopher Steele to prove his Trump claims.

You couldn’t help yourself, could you? Trump stole that binder and has gotten our assets killed. Not only that but your whole party is rife with traitors. Like McGonigal. |

The cable, which also cited the issue of putting “mission over security,” comes amid recent efforts by countries like Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan to find CIA informants and turn them into double agents, the Times reported. The memo also noted long standing issues like placing too much trust in sources, a speedy recruiting process and inadequate attention to potential intelligence risks among other problems. The uptick in compromised informants highlights the more sophisticated ways in which foreign intelligence agencies are tracking the CIA’s actions. These mechanisms include artificial intelligence, facial recognition tools and other hacking methods, per the Times. The New York Times also reported that CIA case officers were sometimes promoted for recruiting spies often regardless of the success, performance or quality of that spy. The CIA declined to comment on this matter. America’s Throwaway Spies How the CIA failed Iranian informants in its secret war with Tehran https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-spies-iran/#:~:text=In%20a%20series%20of%20internal,the%20New%20York%20Times%20reported. Rather than betrayal, Hosseini was the victim of CIA negligence, a year-long Reuters investigation into the agency’s handling of its informants found. A faulty CIA covert communications system made it easy for Iranian intelligence to identify and capture him. Jailed for nearly a decade and speaking out for the first time, Hosseini said he never heard from the agency again, even after he was released in 2019. The CIA declined to comment on Hosseini’s account. Hosseini’s experience of sloppy handling and abandonment was not unique. In interviews with six Iranian former CIA informants, Reuters found that the agency was careless in other ways amid its intense drive to gather intelligence in Iran, putting in peril those risking their lives to help the United States. One informant said the CIA instructed him to make his information drops in Turkey at a location the agency knew was under surveillance by Iran. Another man, a former government worker who traveled to Abu Dhabi to seek a U.S. visa, claims a CIA officer there tried unsuccessfully to push him into spying for the United States, leading to his arrest when he returned to Iran. Such aggressive steps by the CIA sometimes put average Iranians in danger with little prospect of gaining critical intelligence. When these men were caught, the agency provided no assistance to the informants or their families, even years later, the six Iranians said. Hosseini was the only one of the six men Reuters interviewed who said he was assigned the vulnerable messaging tool. But an analysis by two independent cybersecurity specialists found that the now-defunct covert online communication system that Hosseini used – located by Reuters in an internet archive – may have exposed at least 20 other Iranian spies and potentially hundreds of other informants operating in other countries around the world. This messaging platform, which operated until 2013, was hidden within rudimentary news and hobby websites where spies could go to connect with the CIA. Reuters confirmed its existence with four former U.S. officials. These failures continue to haunt the agency years later. In a series of internal cables last year, CIA leadership warned that it had lost most of its network of spies in Iran and that sloppy tradecraft continues to endanger the agency’s mission worldwide, the New York Times reported. The espionage busts could pose a challenge to the CIA’s credibility as it seeks to rebuild its spy network in Iran. The country’s state media publicized some of these cases, portraying the agency as feckless and inept. “It’s a stain on the U.S. government,” Hosseini told Reuters. So blame Trump because the CIA has serious issues? |

Democrats would rather abandon Ukraine than solve the border crisis. Wow. Just amazing that democrats are willing to screw the middle class so bad |

Democrats support Ukraine. Democrats want border reform. GOP is tying the two together. There was already a bi-partisan deal on immigration but then Speaker Ryan refused to bring it to the House floor. Even if the Senate comes to a deal on Ukraine and the border, the House won't pass it for the same reason Ryan wouldn't bring it to the floor 11 years ago. They want it as a wedge issue to keep GOP rubes angry. |

Makes no matter to Republicans. Remember when Republicans had a metric ton of faults but were reliably pro-America? I remember. They’re not that way anymore. |

I want to secure our own border before we give another dime to any foreign dictator. |

Our border is more secure today than it was 4 years ago. There are still obviously significant issues, but they cannot be resolved without a legislative solution. Holding up funding for Ukraine by the GOP for a resolution the House will never support simply helps Russia. So the question is, why is the GOP hellbent on helping Russia? |
