Report: Russia Penetrated FBI Communications Throughout the Obama Years

Breitbart: A report published by Yahoo News on Monday described a “brazen Russian counterintelligence operation that stretched from the Bay Area to the heart of the nation’s capital” during the presidency of Barack Obama. The operation penetrated FBI communications to a “stunning” degree, according to officials quoted in the story, but was misunderstood and downplayed by the intelligence community and the Obama administration, which was ostentatiously attempting to “reset” relations with Russia when the operation began.

Yahoo News tied their years-long saga of counterintelligence cat-and-mouse to several major news events, including the 2016 mass expulsion of Russian diplomats – ostensibly ordered in retaliation for Russian “meddling” in U.S. elections, but actually because those Russian diplomatic facilities were hives of electronic surveillance activity – and the more recent story about the CIA extracting a Russian asset in 2017. According to the report, a significant number of Russian assets stopped talking to U.S. intelligence agencies because they were afraid their identities would be discovered.

To make a very long story short, the Russians took advantage of the Obama administration’s much-ballyhooed “reset” in relations to set up an aggressive network of electronic monitoring devices in the United States, the effort gaining further momentum after Russian President Vladimir Putin became convinced the U.S. was manipulating protests in Russia to delegitimize elections with allegations of vote fraud.

  1. This could not have had anything to do with Clapper and Brennan being incompetent stooges, or Hillary The Careless being more concerned with her yoga schedule than with national security. This is all Trump’s fault. There, I said it! Prove me wrong.

  3. This is why the deep state wants war with Russia.

    Because Russia has the goods on them. Russia knows where the skeletons are in the deep state closets.

    So they want to silence Russia like they silenced Joe Arpaio after he proved Obama’s bc is a fraud.

  4. “Penetrated” is a euphemism.

    “Bought Access” is more like it.

    We KNOW they bought access to America’s secrets through the Clinton Server – and the Clinton Server was set up with the knowledge and consent of Obola PRIOR to her appointment as SecState.
    What a crock of shit.
