No, the intel community should have informed the Trump campaign they're onto possible attempts at interference.

Given the FACT that absolutely NOTHING has come from the Obama Admin spying on the Trump campaign yielding any campaign wrongdoing, how can any rational person think otherwise?

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!


Lefties never change their words now do they



Electronic records reveal that Strzok changed the language from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," scrubbing a key word that could have had legal ramifications for Clinton.

But they can't stand the concept of the FBI doing their job and keeping tabs on one of the sleaziest and most easily manipulated people to every run for president. Snowflakes!
Nailed it, everything you said is true.

Trump calls informant "spy" because it sounds more nefarious
And the tabloid pile of BS that the FBI and DNC paid for to try to incriminate Trump gets called "The Steele Dossier" because it makes that steaming pile of crap sound legit. Republicans constantly accused Obama of being a dictator and a communist. Similar accusations go back a long ways.

It's called politics. They use word salads. They dress up words to invoke emotional responses. Politicians have been playing that game long before Trump was born.

Incidentally, what would you call them? They're there to spy on Trump aren't they? What's your word for diminishing the emotional response? If your word diminishes the emotional impact, aren't you guilty of playing the same game you're accusing Trump of?

So in other words after they started spying on him, and had people in his campaign under surveillance. Of course that is if the unnamed source is even correct.

I wouldn't try to defend the spying that was done on the Trump campaign, not unless you want Trump to do it in 2020.

so...since the Russian lawyer admitted she was a Kremlin informant......given the statements here...is it now accurate to say that members of the Trump administration have admitted to meeting with a Russian spy, and took efforts to hide the fact they met, and the topics discussed?

This isn't turning out the way you expected, is it.

The Trump haters are now lashing out as they see that this is blowing up in their faces.

It kind of like election night all over again.
