Leakers to the New York Times confirmed in a story published on Wednesday that the FBI had run a spy operation on the Trump campaign that involved government informants, secret subpoenas, and possible wiretaps.
The story comes ahead of the release of the pending Department of Justice inspector general report on the FBI’s actions during the 2016 election, and likely is an attempt by the leakers to paint the FBI’s efforts in the most flattering light possible.
But the story revealed that the FBI – which is supposed to be an apolitical agency – was spying on the Trump campaign through phone records and with “at least one” human asset.
“The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena — officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos,” the Times reported, citing “current and former officials.”
The revelation of “at least one government informant” appears to confirm a Washington Post story last week in which leakers revealed that the FBI had a “top secret intelligence source” — a U.S. citizen who likely lived overseas — who had spied on members of the Trump campaign for the FBI.
The Post‘s report came out as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) was fighting the Justice Department for access to information on the source.
According to the Wall Street Journal‘s Kimberley Strassel, the source meant “the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.”
“This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting,” she wrote in a piece last Thursday.

The NYT is proud that Obama worked so hard to try and protect us.
gosh, can you imagine? suddenly lots of “leakers” only a couple of days after Horowitz released his report for internal review amongst the various FedGov agencies referenced by the report prior to public release ...
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Truth ALWAYS gets traction in the mainstream, bias be damned.
When does Comie go up in a gibbet? When does Hillary and her pals hang? Jails are too crowded to let them all live.
Briefly, their concern clearly indicates the FBI understands there is no other reasonable conclusion than to call it treason.
Apparently there are some ethical journalists still surviving at the Times. You have to spray for them every spring to be left with nothing but partisan hacks and whores. And this spring, their budget didn’t allow it.
The riggings of the Ship of State are tangled and loose. That’s a good thing.
I thought the imminent IG report deals only with the Hillary email mess ?

...appears to confirm a Washington Post story last week in which leakers revealed that the FBI had a "top secret intelligence source" -- a U.S. citizen who likely lived overseas -- who had spied on members of the Trump campaign for the FBI... the Wall Street Journal‘s Kimberley Strassel, the source meant “the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign. This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting,"
And, btw, it would flat-out be illegal -- hence it is obvious that this leads right back to the lawless DNC, the grifters of the Clinton gang, and the jihadist street thug Obama/Soetero. Thanks Mount Athos.
