Sad - what don't you understand?
They have admitted to spying! What do spies do? I know difficult question but the answer is they SPY.
Now can we proceed with redeeming this situation - restoring the constitution and draining the swamp!
It begins with charging the heads of the corrupt DOJ and FBI. Time for heads to roll.
It's not a matter of failing to understand something, but the claims being made aren't supported by the facts. You may like them so you don't question them, but that doesn't make them any more or less true.
As a Trump support I understand how this may be a difficult concept for you, but for something to be true it needs to be supported by the facts. To that end,
Here's what we actually know:
Last August, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, who compiled opposition research on Trump, told a Senate panel that British spy Christopher Steele relied on an “internal Trump campaign source” to compile his now-famous Trump dossier.
A person familiar with Simpson’s testimony said at the time that he did not mean to suggest the FBI had a direct source of information from within the Trump campaign.
The Washington Post reported on the existence of a U.S. citizen who had provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI in the Russia probe. The source had become of particular interest to Nunes, whose committee was quick to dismiss any allegations of collusion between Trump associates and Russia.
According to the Post, the Justice Department clashed with Nunes and refused his request for specific details on the person.
The New York Times seemed to lend credence to the idea by reporting that “at least one government informant” met several times with former Trump campaign advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.
What we don't know:
A person who provides information to investigators wasn’t planted by authorities. The person could have been someone already working with Trump’s campaign before they agreed to provide information. Or it could be someone who wasn’t affiliated with the campaign and just interacted with people around it.
The FBI and Mueller have been extraordinarily tight-lipped about the investigation, providing few public clues on what sources they are relying on or where the probe is headed.
Trump and his lawyer, Giuliani, acknowledge they don’t have the answers either. But that hasn’t stopped them from floating the mole theory as a way of undercutting Mueller’s work as an attempt by liberals to bring down the president.
Giuliani said in a an interview on CNN’s “New Day” that he doesn’t know for sure what happened — and the president doesn’t either.
But “for a long time, we’ve been told that there’s been some kind of infiltration,” he said.
To take all that information and jump to "the FBI planted a mole in the campaign" is an argument from ignorance.
"This grainy, out of focus footage that could simply be a child's balloon they let go is a UFO, therefore it must be Aliens"
The hypotithis that the FBI or the Deep State have been spying on Trump and working against him all along is a claim so fantastic that it requires some actual evidence.
You can't just jump to "someone provided information to the FBI" all the way to "The Deep State planted a mole in the Trump campaign" when there is zero evidence to make such a claim.
And when the claim is being used to help discredit the Mueller investigation you should be even more skeptical of it.
Trump and his team have been attacking and trying to discredit everyone who is getting closer to the Truth about the Trump Campaign and the Russian involvement and unless anyone can provide any information otherwise, this looks to be just another example.
Trump wants to fire Mueller and he can't right now because Mueller is as clean as a whistle. They've been throwing mud at him for months now and other than in the mind of the Trump supporters who as we know require Trump to tell them what the truth is and how to think (no evidence requires), it's not working.
Have they claimed Mueller is a peadophile yet,
or claimed he personally sold uranium to the enemy? Those seem to be standard claims these days to discredit people investigating or not supporting Trump.
I'm not saying the claim is false, but for those saying it's true, you're going to need to provide some evidence.
They actually HAVE claimed that Mueller gave uranium to the Russians. The actual story is that the FBI and Russian authorities ran a sting operation on someone trying to sell enriched uranium to the americans and as a result, Mueller personally returned 10g of U238 to the Russians. of course it was the Russians uranium in the first place and was part of the sting.
I am sure the pedo claim will eventuate soon enough.
