Fox News’s Napolitano: Trump’s ‘Spygate’ claims are ‘baseless’
The Hill ^ | 05/30/2018 | Morgan Gstalter

Posted on 05/30/2018 5:49:03 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Fox News's Andrew Napolitano said late Tuesday there is “no evidence” to support President Trump’s “Spygate” theory that the FBI planted spies during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Napolitano, the news network's senior judicial analyst, said on "The Story With Martha MacCallum" that Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is making a “baseless” claim.

“The allegations by Mayor Giuliani over the weekend, which would lead to us believe that the Trump people think that the FBI had an undercover agent who inveigled his way into the campaign and was there as a spy on the campaign, seem to be baseless,” Napolitano said.

There is no evidence for that whatsoever, he added.

Giuliani suggested on Sunday that former President Obama and his top intelligence officials “knew” that the FBI had used a top-secret informant to allegedly spy on Trump’s campaign.

The FBI did use an informant, identified in media reports as American professor Stefan Halper, who met with three Trump campaign advisers in 2016 — George Papadopoulos, Carter Page and Sam Clovis.

No evidence has emerged, however, that the informant was used to spy on the campaign for political purposes.

That’s bull....look at the unmasking of Americans that was done.

Look at the bogus use of the Steele Report as if it was real, generated from and purchased from .........guess who?..........RUSSIANS all to get 4 FISA seach warrants, and then in went the spies. It was more than electronic surveillance going on.

All of a sudden the GOP Congressmen and Senators are saying nothing here, move on? Yeah right ( sarc.)

I trust our president. He has his own intelligence operatives. And if says there were spies on his campaign, I believe him. Just because the spies were organized from MI5/MI6 in London to circumvent US law, doesn’t make it any less nefarious.

Anyone with an ounce of honesty and half a functioning brain knows the Mueller “investigation” has one purpose... to damage Trump politically, isolate him and separate him from his supporters. And Clapper has essentially confessed to the spying.

So one can speculate... what does Mueller have on the Judge and Gowdy??? A sexgate perhaps? One wonders???

The Judge is for the most part, usually dead wrong on things.

This is pure BS. Follow the money.

How can they say that. They clearly entrapped Trump people to be used to get the FISA warrant.

I don’t understand why they keep this midget on the payroll.

Interesting that this judge and the execrable, ineffective Trey Gowdy publicly turned to their hyena faces after Brennan came out publicly with his odious threat, and a clear threat it was, against McConnell and Ryan.

Judge Nap seems like a smart likeable person. He is wrong a lot of the time.

Clapper is just a liar.

An informant could be placed in or around the campaign to see what if anything is going on with the Russians. Halper was not gathering information. He was deliberately planting false information within the campaign to later impugn the campaign with the very information he planted. Halper was a willful idiot.....anyone would be for what Obama admin paid him.

Planting lies for nefarious means is what spies do. Is Halper a spy, no. Was he used like a spy, of course.

Good God, how obtuse can these people be??? Napolitano apparently needs a refresher.

-----------------------------

Spy

Noun, plural - spies.

1. A person employed by a government to obtain secret information or intelligence about another, usually hostile, country, especially with reference to military or naval affairs.

2. A person who keeps close and secret watch on the actions and words of another or others.

3. A person who seeks to obtain confidential information about the activities, plans, methods, etc., of an organization or person, especially one who is employed for this purpose by a competitor.

Pray tell, HOW do the second and third definitions NOT apply to what the Obama regime did to the Trump campaign??

Excellent point! And remember he received a pretty long timeout for not carrying the swamp's water. So, he's now made a deal with the devil to keep his job.

Methinks Napolitano and Clapper should have a cage match to determine the answer.

Got a feeling Trump knew 2 years ago and is just trolling these twits, for Nap to say this as a certainty is a problem, had he said “that I know of” fine but to say it definitively is a problem, there is no way he could know for sure.

They are trying to redefine ‘spying’

My guess is something that has to do with the fact that Napolitano is gay. Just a guess.

Sounds like there was an informant spying on the campaign; they claim it just wasn't "for political purposes."

If it wasn't done for political purposes, what 'purpose' was it done for ?

Let me put it another way. If Donald Trump had never run for the office of President, would they have assigned an 'informant' to him ?

since it doesn’t come off as anything other than deep state propaganda.

The Media is the Deep State.
