"Even going back to the summer, there were whispers about what Russia had on the RNC and Trump in particular. The difference is that now the intelligence agencies have checked out the rumors and have found the sources to be credible."
Why didn't intelligence agencies check out rumors over the summer? Isn't that what intelligence lives for - investigating these types of rumors?
We know FBI unsuccessfully sought FISA warrants twice over the summer based on Russia/RNC/Trump. Why were they unsuccessful? They didn't have enough probably cause to get warrant - why? Did some at the FBI have facts that others pursuing the warrant did not have?
The story of McCain giving former British operative's reports to Comey in December - Comey did not have them before that but other stories suggest that some within the FBI may have had them. Is that true? Why? Wouldn't that sort of information be immediately escalated to top?
People kept screaming about Trump's sole change in RNC platform to back off Crimea - why was that not treated by media and intelligence as substantive issue?
Hillary kept saying Trump was Putin's puppet. Why was that not treated by media and intelligence as substantive issue?
David Corn's October piece - was that based on the former British operative's reports or something else? Where did David get it from?
I am leaving things out for sure but these are my initial questions.
