NYtimes ^

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s inspector general found no evidence that the F.B.I. attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside Donald J. Trump’s campaign in 2016 as agents investigated whether his associates conspired with Russia's election interference operation, people familiar with a draft of the inspector general’s report said.

The F.B.I. never tried to place undercover agents or informants inside the Trump campaign, a highly anticipated inspector general’s report is expected to find.

The draft contained a chart listing numerous mistakes in the process, one of the people said.

Mr. Horowitz concluded that the F.B.I. was careless and unprofessional in pursuing the Page wiretap

Nice weasel.

No undercover F.B.I. agents or informants.

Is there a particular, law-enforcement-or-F.B.I. specific usage of those terms, and so anyone put within the campaign doesn't fit those definitions?

OR, did the F.B.I. only facilitate someone ELSE putting in informants or agents (Ciamarella, Vindman)?

Or, did the F.B.I. just reach out to known never-Trumpers, but didn't place them?

They did not intentionally do it. And no reasonable prosecutor would take the case.

The F.B.I. gave Mr. Horowitz’s team extraordinary access to its informant database, and his investigators examined other F.B.I. informants with possible ties to the Trump campaign.

In each case, they found that the F.B.I. had not deployed those people to gather information on the Trump campaign itself, the people said.

It is also possible that the F.B.I. received unsolicited material from inside the Trump campaign; outsiders often submit potential evidence to the bureau that agents did not seek. But it is not clear whether Mr. Horowitz uncovered any such instances.

Except we already HAD this story and the FBI claimed it was an “informant” and not a “spy placed by the FBI”

Just one placed by the DNC who called the FBI as a concerned citizen.

2nd weasel.

"Found no evidence".

Did they actually LOOK, or did they studiously avoid existing evidence even after it was pointed out to them?

OR, this is cover, to set it up that there was never any possible legitimate purpose for the F.B.I. infiltrating the campaign, and so any such infiltration was, is, and by definition must be illegal?

Another DC ethics investigation. As usual none were found.

Tip o' the hat to comedian Mark Russell.

No informants just whistleblowing Democrats who set up sting operations and insulted Trump supporters who shop at Walmart...

New York Times still thinks they are a credible source of news, and can make up anything they want. It’s either they think that, or they are monkey see, monkey do like Schiff who so far gets away with it.

Mr. Horowitz plans to say that the wiretap application, which referenced Mr. Papadopoulos, should have also included a statement he made to the undercover agent in London that could be seen as exculpatory or self-serving, the people familiar with the draft report said.

Yup.

"We call these people informants. See, they're in a pretty Microsoft Access table (which we glorify into calling a "database")." "And nobody we put into the Trump campaign is on that list. So we didn't put any *informants* (according to our own private definition) into the campaign."

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'informant' is."

What a bunch of seditious vermin.

The FIB uses the Wash Poo to plant news items to base their calls for investigation...
