Informant Spied on Trump Campaign Before the FBI Officially Began Its Probe
..,
FBI officials have said they began investigating the Trump administration on July 31, 2016, after stolen Democratic National Committee emails were released on July 22, 2016, prompting Australian officials to come forward with information they received from Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos months earlier....
However — the problem with that account is that the FBI informant had approached Trump campaign adviser Carter Page before that email release on July 22, 2016, and before the Australians came forward with the information, supposedly after that.
..,,
The timeline of events indicate that the current and former officials lied about when their investigation of the Trump campaign started, and why.
