[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I am missing something but this excerpt from the link seems to suggest the information was already available:

[i]CNN has reviewed a 35-page compilation of the memos, from which the two-page synopsis was drawn. The memos originated as opposition research, first commissioned by anti-Trump Republicans, and later by Democrats. [/i][/quote]

From this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html

[quote]Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. [b]What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out[/b] the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago.

Help me out: is the suggestion that the Russians have found additional information over and beyond what opposition research surfaced?[/quote]

My understanding is that we don't know exactly what the Russians have and, in fact, they might not have anything. What was discovered were claims by the[b] Russians to have compromising information as well as contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians.[/b] Again, as I understand it, a former British spy gathered the information. There is no new information. What is new is that US intelligence agencies have vetted the former British spy and found that his information is likely believable.

If there is really evidence of this, the Russians contacting and presumably extorting the Trump campaign, it would be treasonous on his part right? He could be impeached for it?[/quote]
