Top Intel Dem slams Trump claim about FBI informant (Schiff )
The Hill ^ | 05/20/18 | Mallory Shelbourne

Posted on 05/20/2018 8:48:43 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee slammed President Trump’s claim that there was an FBI informant spying on his presidential campaign.

“The most I can tell you Chuck is that this claim by the president, the suggestion by Giuliani that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump campaign is nonsense,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd.

Schiff is referring to Trump’s most recent claim that former President Barack Obama used “an embedded informant” to spy on his campaign.

“Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI ‘SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.’ Andrew McCarthy says, ‘There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.’ If so, this is bigger than Watergate!” Trump wrote on Twitter last week, referring to National Review writer Andrew McCarthy.

Etc...

Consciousness of guilt is accompanied by misdirection, evasion and denial.

Yes, its bigger than Watergate but TDS has a strong hold over the Democrats.

They refuse to acknowledge what the rest of us see.

“That’s another way of saying this is patently untrue”

Yes, but where do you actually say it is untrue, I missed that part.

I have seen no evidence to support the claim that there was an informant "embedded in the Trump campaign."

All indications are that they used an FBI-CIA asset (maybe Stefan Halper) to set up contacts with people like Carter Page for the sole purpose of fabricating a case to begin an extensive phone and electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign.

Of course, this is going down the same silly road we saw already with the "wire tapping" nonsense in early 2017. It's all just a matter of semantics, and these @ssholes are harping over the specifics of a claim just to divert attention from the damning underlying story. By the time all the facts came out, the Democrats were reduced to calling President Trump a moron because the surveillance involved complex electronic monitoring, not simple "wiretaps."

Unfortunately Hillary, the Democrats IT, and Comey’s predetermined investigation, collusion with Obama, and collusion of Hillary’s campaign with foreign governments (Russia And England) Democrats haven’t any credibility.

Keep seeing this fool out there
Then read Trumps tweets.
I notice this loser doesn’t tweet
Trumps strategy of letting this go on and on is brilliant
EVERYDAY TALK RADIO HAMMERS THIS
EVEYDAY HE TWEETS HIS “ victim of deep state “ status
Everyday this goes on MuleHead looks stupider and stupider
And don’t forget Trump has been in MANY MANY COMPLICATED MULTIYEAR LAWSUITS
It’s. A loooooooooooong game this war against the enemy of the people
They have all the power and money and intel agencies
But
They don’t have THE PEOPLE
TRUMP DOES
how many who were lukewarm for him are now ENTHRALLED and very supportive ?
A lot methinks.
A lot
