What "normal channels" give civilian candidates access to confidential operations in the intelligence community?
Do tell !
And our intelligence agencies weren't surveilling Trump's people - they were spying on the hostile foreign entities that Trump's people were colluding with. Thats a fact worth remembering next time you try to pretend Trump didn't collude with Russia.
But none of that has anything to do with the current allegation of Russian Bounties for US Troops. The president was given that intelligence months ago. Either he didn't read it or he didn't give a shit about it. I'll let you decide which is more incompetant. SInce that time he's done nothing except try to forward Russia's positon on the world stage.
Oh, and uh, Happy 4th.,
