Now you are trying to polish and shine one end of a turd.
The informate was placed to report on the Trump camppain. No matter how hard you try to find the clean end of this turd he was spying on the Trump team.
The informate would not have been there if Trump’s team had not been there. The whole purpose was to see if the Trump organization was talking to the Russians and that damn well is spying.
You are correct. That is spying.
Also, was the Clinton campaign protected with and informant spy ?
Umm no...these bustuds were trying to elect Hillary and defeat trump illegally...and they got caught.
