We didn't spy on Trump!
Well, okay, we spied on Trump, but NOT to undermine his electoral chances!
Hey, it was a 'frantic' time! We were 'alarmed' about Russians!
Look, we were fooled by Russian disinformation! Coulda happened to anybody!
Just look at the Republicans trying to pounce on this! Deplorable!
it was unclear whether [the British] provided assistance
[baby step one of the slow reveal as to the big British intel role in trying to stop Trump from being elected.]
We were so alarmed, we kept sending fake Russian agents to sell/give to the Trump team. And they just didn’t cooperate. But we had to spy on them as a result of their guys not taking the bait. Because maybe they would have taken the bait. Even the doofus oldest son talked to our Russian asset in his office. So we know they must’ve been up to something with real Russians who were not cooperating with us.
Just wow. Those folks thought they were so smart. Oh wait. They never thought they would lose, so they did not cover their tracks until after the fact when it was too late. And that darn Admiral Rogers spilled the beans. Then they had to release the pee pee dossier to the media in order to cover their tracks. BUT ONLY LUNATICS BELIEVED THAT GARBAGE.
