CIA secretly targeted 26 Trump associates in 2016, including Alex Jones
A "high-placed source" told former Secret Service agent-turned-conservative commentator Dan Bongino that dozens of high-profile individuals who were close to Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign found themselves on an illegal surveillance list compiled by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under Barack Obama.
Not only were close Trump family members like Melania, Ivanka and Donald Trump, Jr. on the list, but so were people like Alex Jones, Roger Stone and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Bongino said – watch the video below:
"My list is more than 26 names," Bongino claims. "I'm obviously not going to tell you who I got this from."
The purpose of this list, according to Bongino, was to allow U.S. intelligence agencies to "bump target with Russian interaction and spying."
In this case, the term "bumping" means when an intelligence spook makes up a reason or excuse to meet with a target of interest in order to develop a faux relationship with that target for the purpose of gaining intelligence.
The full list of names on Bongino's list include the following:
Donald Trump
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.)
Ben Carson
Donald Trump, Jr.
Eric Trump
Ivanka Trump
Melania Trump
Jared Kushner
Jason Miller
David Bossie
Samuel Clovis
Paul Manafort
Jason Johnson
Carter Page
George Papadopoulos
Alice Stewart
Victoria Coates
Christopher Bourne
Jason Osborne
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R)
Donald McGahn
Michael Flynn
Alex Jones
Jefferson Sessions
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
Roger Stone
It’s a list of people the deep state fears. https://t.co/C3L84c3eI0

Former CIA director John Brennan responsible
Interestingly enough, it was also revealed earlier this month that former CIA director John Brennan just so happened to identify and present 26 names – well would you look at that? – to foreign intelligence agencies, the names of which were not released, until now.
Brennan played a critical role in using those names to compile fake evidence for the "Russian collusion" hoax, which was used to try to derail Trump's presidential win in 2016. That hoax is still being used, by the way, to try to derail Trump's potential win in 2024 as well.
BOMBSHELL: a new report says Russia didn't want Trump to win in 2016, they wanted Hillary and the CIA knew it. Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, manufactured evidence for the Russia hoax, according to @shellenberger and @mtaibbi pic.twitter.com/u8aMMvqsTb

The foreign intelligence agencies that received the 26 names include the members of "Five Eyes," which include the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. By surveilling those 26 people, the intelligence deep state hoped to entrap Trump for "Russian collusion."
Shortly after the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and golf club in south Florida, the former president blasted the intelligence community, noting that these same folks cooked up the Steele Dossier and other components of the Russian collusion hoax.
"This persecution is being done by the same weaponized agencies that for seven years have been running illegal psychological warfare campaigns against the American people," Trump later complained at one of his rallies in New Jersey.
The next thing on people's minds is: Will Congress hold the intelligence community and assets like Brennan or former FBI director James Comey responsible for all of this? Or will it all get swept under the rug as another case of business as usual?
