Who Is . . .

Oh, . . . Oh, . . . Oh !

There's news:

". . . on Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said in a statement that 'If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action,' CNN reports.

Added DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores, 'The Department has asked the Inspector General to expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election,'  according to NBC."

Bingo!    Its just like I said.    Thank you both Tom and Don for proving my point.   The right wing strategy going forward is to draw attention away from the investigation's findings by pointing to the "Deep State" conspiracy theory that our nation's law enforcement institutions are part of that whole liberal-media, liberal scientist, liberal boogeyman  thing (even when they are led by Republicans !).      

This just in, folks!   The Justice department is not led by Jeff Sessions - really its Maxine Waters behind the scenes pulling his strings!

And since when does anyone on the right have issues with leaks?  Trump spent his entire campaign praising the illegal information dumped from Wikileaks (and so did Tom).   

Leaks don't change the fact that Trump hand picked several convicted felons all with ties to Russian operatives....and his retarded son met with operatives with the specific purpose of getting dirt on Hillary.    And Trump's lawyer was raking in cash from foreign and domestic special interest groups through his porn-star payoff LLC.     

Good luck with that "Deep State" thing.    I'm sure it plays well with the Confederate Flag wing of the Republican party.  

PJ, I think we should ask to see Don and Tom’s Black Lives Matter membership cards because they suddenly seem like real criminal justice reform crusaders.  When were they kidnapped by Antifa and radicalized? 

Still, neither one of them can offer an explanation as to how the use of CIs is appropriate in virtually any other criminal investigation, but not in the criminal investigation of Trump?  

Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong within this thread.

What is criminal is the Clinton campaign and the DNC enlisted and paid for actual collusion with Kremlin officials IN RUSSIA. What is Criminal is the director of the FBI (Comey) not only knew they did that, he also knew CNN was going to release that info before they released it. How did they get the phony dossier, and how did Comey know they had it? What is criminal is Comey decided Clinton wouldn't be proscuted BEFORE the FBI interviewed her. What is criminal is a still sitting President, Obama, used federal government agencies to infultrate a opposition party candidate's campaign for political reasons. I heard a Dem attack Trump today, saying the FBI and the DOJ aren't Trump's personal tools to use as he see's fit. Where was he when Obama was actually doing that? Thre are a bunch of people that should be facing jail time for trying to overturn a Presidenial election, and Obama is at the top of that list.

Spygate is the new birth certificate conspiracy with a comparable amount of evidence.    And Trump is working his magic on his birther base while sabotaging the investigation against him.     Devin Nunes will be getting briefed by the Justice Department about confidential evidence Mueller has.    And we know how that played out last time.

Associatted Press

"Trump told one ally this week that he wanted “to brand” the informant a “spy,” believing the more nefarious term would resonate more in the media and with the public."

"The new birth certificate conspiracy with a comparable amount of evidence?" Clapper has already admitted his agency infiltrated the Trump campaign. He said it was done to "protect" Trump from the Russians. Ha! Why didn't they do the same for Clinton? Did they not care if the Clinton campaign was under the influence of Russian intrusion (or help)? Did they want Trump to win and Clinton lose? Comey has been making conflicting statements for months, including some of the crap he wrote in his book. Mueller chose a dozen Democrat, Clinton supporting, lawyers to conduct his "investigation". I don't think he could have found a more biased group of people to conduct an "investigation" that was supposed to be conducted without bias. These two aren't the only people involved. Not even close.

It's kind of funny that Clapper doesn't like the word "spy" or "spying", yet that's actually what the agency he headed does...always has. How dare Trump believe the truth would "resonate more with the media and the public"?!? ...somewhat understandable because the truth to the MSM doesn't "resonate" when it comes to Republicans and conservatives.

The goal from day one has been to take Trump down, and it is obvious they haven't cared if their actions are legal or not.

What is the person called now, a "confidential human informant" or something to that affect? How is that not spying on a persons campaign and if it isn'twhy didn't they tell the campaign they suspected Russian meddling and were there 'from the govt. and here to help'?

State, local and Federal law enforcement use CIs every day.  Nobody calls them spies and nobody ever has. CIs are considered a mainstream law enforcement tool, and most Republicans are big believers in allowing law enforcement to use CIs as the use of CIs results in more convictions. Why are Republicans pretending to be suddenly offended by the use of CIs?  If Trump thinks that there is something wrong about CIs, why doesn't the President pardon every Federal prisoner that was convicted on the basis of CI testimony? Trump could do it tomorrow with the stroke of a pen.   Why aren't the Republicans in Congress taking up a bill right now to ban the use of CIs in criminal investigations nationwide?   I will tell you why. It is because Trump and the Republicans in Congress are fundamentally dishonest and corrupt.   

The FBI investigated Trump's campaign because they were given solid evidence that it was being infiltrated by Russian operatives...and the 5 convictions and counting prove that evidence was credible.

Yelling "Deep State" doesn't change that.

Liberals like to point to the 5 convictions, but after more than 2 years, the convictions have nothing to do with Trump/Russian collusion
