{Full Title:} 'A terrible thing!' Trump claims former intelligence chief James Clapper 'has admitted' spy was paid to target his campaign

President Donald Trump continued his war of words with James Clapper on Thursday, claiming former Director of National Intelligence has 'admitted' the Obama administration's Justice Department snooped on his 2016 campaign organization.

Clapper said Wednesday on 'The View' that the president should welcome the use of an informant who gathered information about his campaign's Russia contacts, since the purpose was to gather intelligence about Moscow's nefarious plans.

Trump, however, is turning that to his advantage...

...It's the third time in two months the president has gone after the longtime former intelligence official, whom he termed a 'lying machine' in an April tweet.

Halper was paid very well to spy on Candidate Trump.

The spying maggot, Halper has been a paid Deep State Tool, financed by our tax $'s for decades. Halper has been paid with our Tax $'s to spy on candidate Trump and others.

. . . the purpose was to gather intelligence about Moscow's nefarious plans.

I have seen no indication of nefarious plans other than among deep state operatives in what is supposed to be our own government - traitors who disapprove of free and fair elections.

If there is any real substance at all underlying these “Russia” stories, and if Clapper, the FBI, and the CIA had wanted to protect our elections, they could simply have warned Candidate/President Trump. That was not the point though. This was a trap from the start, a final insurance policy in case they needed an excuse - a backup plan. This was about a Deep State coup against the lawfully elected President of the United States in the “unlikely” event that the unthinkable happened and their chosen insiders lost.

Trump claims former intelligence chief James Clapper 'has admitted' spy was paid to target his campaign

True statement and Clapper admitted there was a spy inserted in his campaign. The media wants to twist these inarguable facts to motive, why did they have spies in the campaign. The fact is, they should not have spies for any reason inserted into a campaign when the President is supporting the opponent of his own party. Simple, until the media attempts to obfuscate the facts.

That is what we know now.

Being a CIA non approved Black Budget item.

We have no real handle on the actual costs of this act of sedition.

From the salaries of DOJ/FBI seditionists working on this bs to bribes to salaries of characters like Halper.
