FBI refused White House request to knock down recent Trump-Russia stories

FBI refused WH request on Trump-Russia stories 03:51
Washington (CNN)The FBI rejected a recent White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump's associates and Russians known to US intelligence during the 2016 presidential campaign, multiple US officials briefed on the matter tell CNN.

But a White House official said late Thursday that the request was only made after the FBI indicated to the White House it did not believe the reporting to be accurate.
White House officials had sought the help of the bureau and other agencies investigating the Russia matter to say that the reports were wrong and that there had been no contacts, the officials said. The reports of the contacts were first published by The New York Times and CNN on February 14.
The direct communications between the White House and the FBI were unusual because of decade-old restrictions on such contacts. Such a request from the White House is a violation of procedures that limit communications with the FBI on pending investigations.
Late Thursday night, White House press secretary Sean Spicer objected to CNN's characterization of the White House request to the FBI.
"We didn't try to knock the story down. We asked them to tell the truth," Spicer said. The FBI declined to comment for this story.

You wouldn't believe them if they stated that Trump spoke?

You wouldn't believe them if they said Trump gets out of bed every day?

This is an enormous story as it is the WH trying to get the FBI to LIE about the russia story. This is making watergate look like playtime. This administration is going to be destroyed by it. Trump will be impeached and half his senior staff going to jail.

and of course he is still bleating on about "fake news" this time in relation to the fbi investigation...poor Twump isn't liking this one bit..

Quote:

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, during a briefing on Thursday. Credit Doug Mills/The New York Times
WASHINGTON — President Trump turned the power of the White House against the news media on Friday, escalating his attacks on journalists as “the enemy of the people” and berating members of his own F.B.I. as “leakers” who he said were putting the nation at risk.

In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Mr. Trump criticized as “fake news” organizations that publish anonymously sourced reports that reflect poorly on him. And in a series of Twitter posts, he assailed the F.B.I. as a dangerously porous agency, condemning unauthorized revelations of classified information from within its ranks and calling for an immediate hunt for leakers.

Hours after the speech, as if to demonstrate Mr. Trump’s determination to punish reporters whose coverage he dislikes, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, barred journalists from The New York Times and several other news organizations from attending his daily briefing, a highly unusual breach of relations between the White House and its press corps.

The moves underscored the degree to which Mr. Trump and members of his inner circle are eager to use the prerogatives of the presidency to undercut those who scrutinize him, dismissing negative stories as lies and confining press access at the White House to a few chosen news organizations considered friendly. The Trump White House has also vowed new efforts to punish leakers.

whereas you preferred the minority coverage that was not only biased, but based on total fantasy. Not a skerrick of fact in any of the crap that came out of trumps camp in over 6 months. Every time he opened his mouth, he lied ...

but it was the media who was biased because they revealed those lies Cheesy

These are the people America looks to for honest reporting. Clearly they can't be trusted to keep their own inflated opinions out of it.

Even their plan "B" has failed now it is on to plan "C".....

Witches, really? Admit it, the Normals won against the Freaks on election night. Look who agrees with you, you should be ashamed for them because they aren't capable of feeling it themselves.

This is an enormous story as it is the WH trying to get the FBI to LIE about the russia story. This is making watergate look like playtime. This administration is going to be destroyed by it. Trump will be impeached and half his senior staff going to jail.

Imagine, in Watergate, Nixon's staff was found guilty of the botched bugging of a small Democratic campaign office.

In Trump's case, his staff have been found to be consorting with a rival foreign power, who hacked the entire Democratic campaign's communications and leaked them to the world in order to win Trump the election.

It's chalk and cheese. Watergate was bungled. No foreign power was involved. In Trump's case, we have evidence, not only Russia meddling in and influencing a US election, but of Trump's staff discussing its plans for office with Russian officials, attempting to cover this up, and now, attempting to influence the work of the FBI tasked with investigating it.

We also have credible FBI suspicions that Trump has been blackmailed, and two of Trump's high-ranking cabinet members' close ties with Russian business interests, including Trump's Secretary of State. One Trump cabinet pick has stood down because of his Russian ties, another has been sacked by Trump for lying about his communication and close relationship with the Russian government - a federal crime.

But the most clear evidence of all is Trump's own defence of Putin, his remarks that alledge the US plays just as dirty as Putin (by a sitting US president), and statement after statement of pro-Putin rhetoric - rhetoric that supports and justifies an expansionist foreign power curently engaging in human rights violations and war crimes on two fronts: Syria and the Ukraine.

It's unprecedented, it's in our faces, and there's much more to come. Trump's alleged collusion with Russia to influence a US election makes Watergate look like amateur-hour, which of course it was. And Watergate led to the first ever US presidential resignation in history.

It's hard to imagine Trump getting away with this one, but so far, with his party firmly in power, that's looking like the most likely scenario.

But at least the sh1t's finally hit the fan. At least we know.

You might want to excuse it, but no one can deny that any of this is happening.
