President Trump accused the F.B.I. on Friday, without evidence, of sending a spy to secretly infiltrate his 2016 campaign “for political purposes” even before the bureau had any inkling of the “phony Russia hoax.”
In fact, F.B.I. agents sent an informant to talk to two campaign advisers only after they received evidence that the pair had suspicious contacts linked to Russia during the campaign. The informant, an American academic who teaches in Britain, made contact late that summer with one campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, according to people familiar with the matter. He also met repeatedly in the ensuing months with the other aide, Carter Page, who was also under F.B.I. scrutiny for his ties to Russia.
The role of the informant is at the heart of the newest battle between top law enforcement officials and Mr. Trump’s congressional allies over the F.B.I.’s most politically charged investigations in decades. The lawmakers, who say they are concerned that federal investigators are abusing their authority, have demanded documents from the Justice Department about the informant.
Law enforcement officials have refused, saying that handing over the documents would imperil both the source’s anonymity and safety. The New York Times has learned the source’s identity but typically does not name informants to preserve their safety.

Hillary is going to REALLY get the vapors when she finds out the FIB knew all about Trump's ties to Russia DURING the campaign but didn't come out with it until AFTER the election!
Oop. Upp. Wait. Exactly what did The FIB informant learn about Trump's ties to Russia during the campaign.
I'm not going to click on the link. Somebody just give me the bullet points.

Yes, the Rosenbergs were just doing some undercover investigation into the USA’s criminal development of the atom bomb. Actually the NYT probably was on their side too.
Spy v investigate. I say spy.
The Slimes is getting into some really creative lying posing as news to protect Obama and his DOJ/FBI/CIA
“Isn’t this strikingly similar to when Walter Duranty of The Times ran political cover for Joseph Stalin? Duranty became know as Stalin’s apologist.:
Bingo!
Blatant lying to cover for their beloved thugs has been in the DNA of the NY Slimes for many decades/
If history doesn't repeat, it surely rhymes!
“Law enforcement officials have refused, saying that handing over the documents would imperil both the source’s anonymity and safety.”
This is the REAL scandal here.
Law enforcement officials refusing to subject themselves to the authority of the US Congress. They act as if they are an authority unto themselves.
We have intelligence agencies and the DOJ refusing the authority of BOTH the Congress and the Executive.
This Republic will not survive unless these people are crushed.
Crushed.
Executions for Sedition are in order.
“Here’s the thing...these rogue agents worked inside an FBI that still had a vast majority of patriotic agents, who will help weed out the criminals in their midst.”
There is absolutely no evidence to support that assertion.
In fact one could more plausibly assert the exact opposite.
Following this logic, ...
Commie liberals need to be hanged to prevent them from harming themselves.
Even Orwell would be overwhelmed by this doublespeak.
It’s like we live in The Snake Pit and are forced to believe any inmate who grabs a microphone, and then their insanity somehow becomes legislated.
A person who spies is a spy.
The FBI leaders abused their power in doing this and if the justice system weren’t so sick, they would all end up in prison for it."
I don't believe any of this, anyway. They are paying a low level personage to be fall guy. When is Trump going to start causing heads to roll?
You say potato, I say potahto.
Benedict Arnold merely “investigated” for the British.
FBI liars are lying to New York Times liars who are trying to lie to the rest of us... Sorry Charlie - we’re on to your games.
While I believe the VAST majority of the honest FBI agents help behind the scenes, here is a story that proves Trump was told of the "wiretapping" of Trump Tower:

It took a LONG time for the educational system to become as screwed up as it is. I can’t believe that the majority of FBI agents are political operatives like Strzok and Page.
