Fears Trump Will Sell Out Israel to Russia

Donald Trump may be best pals with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Israeli intelligence officials have drawn a line on sharing secrets with the Trump administration out of fear it could be leaked to Russia and Iran, according to a report out of Israel.

The concerns were prompted by an extensive intelligence dossier published this week that revealed close ties between Trump, his campaign operatives and Putin’s intelligence agency, the FSB.

A former British MI-6 intelligence official prepared the 35-page report, actually a series of memoranda. He was asked by Trump Republican and Democratic political opponents to research Trump’s ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The author, since identified as Michael Steele, 52, is well-known in U.S. Intelligence circles and considered a crediblesource. U.S. agencies are taking information contained in the report seriously and have shared it with President Obama, Congress members and the president-elect.

While the information appears credible, it has not been verified. Trump and Putin have both denied all of the allegations involving collaboration, spying and blackmail.

Of particular concern to Israeli agents are portions of the report that name former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, campaign adviser Carter Page, retired Gen. Michael Flynn and Trump lawyer Michael Cohen as key players in the collaboration.

Tens of thousands of dollars allegedly changed hands as part of the operation, facilitated by Russian emigres in the United States and Russian diplomats.

The documents also claims Trump has been gathering and providing detailed intelligence to the Putin government on the activities of Russian oligarchs
