BREAKING: US intel warned the WH last year that Rudy Giuliani was the target of a #Russianintelligence influence op to smear @JoeBiden.

SIGINT revealed that *Giuliani interacted with #Russian intelligence* during a December 2019 trip to #Ukraine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/giuliani-biden-ukraine-russian-disinformation/2020/10/15/43158900-0ef5-11eb-b1e8-16b59b92b36d_story.html

Former intel officials say, “the intelligence raised concerns that *Giuliani was being used to feed #Russianmisinformation* to the president.”

Just like in 2016, #Russia targets useful idiots like Carter Page or Rudy.

The warnings to the WH led national security adviser Robert O’Brien to caution Trump in a private conversation that **any information Giuliani brought back from Ukraine should be considered contaminated by Russia**.

TeamTrump is knowingly pushing #Russian disinformation.

SIGINT = signals intelligence. These include telephone calls, emails, and other electronic information / communications intercepted by @NSAGov and others.

Intel officials’ message to Trump: “Do what you want to do, but your friend Rudy has been worked by #Russianassets in #Ukraine.”

Intel officials wanted “to protect the president from coming out and saying something stupid,” particularly since he was facing #impeachment over his own efforts to strong-arm #Ukraine’s president into investigating the Bidens.

This is the LEAST surprising #October surprise.”

Earlier in 2019, US intel also warned in written materials sent to the WH that Giuliani—in his drive to smear the Bidens—was communicating with #Russianassets.

Gosh, didn’t we see something similar in 2016?

“ #Russia, if you’re listening...”
