President Donald Trump's allegation that the Department of Justice put a "spy" inside his presidential campaign to frame him is being widely dismissed as absurd by current and former law enforcement officials.
But it would not be absurd to think the FBI might have sent informants to speak to suspects in their counterintelligence investigation into whether anyone in the Trump orbit was working with Russia to interfere in the presidential election. In fact, it would have been accepted procedure for the FBI.
"The notion of fully embedded government operatives inside a campaign is hard to imagine under these circumstances," said Frank Figliuzzi, a former head of FBI counterintelligence and an NBC News national security analyst. "What is easier to imagine is the FBI trying to flesh out information on Russian intelligence operatives by making approaches to campaign staffers if the reasonable suspicion was there and the approvals were in place."
The goal, Figliuzzi said, "would be to try to determine the degree to which Russian intelligence services were targeting the campaign, and whether any campaign officials were receptive to that targeting."

I thought once something was confirmed as existing it was regarded as factual. Have I been wrong?
MY theory is that British Intelligence incensed over Trump Brexit statements was approached by someone from the Obama Administration to plan a British intelligence agency operation on the Trump campaign and to help the Obama Deep State create a sting operation between the two deep state operatives.
To me the Australian High Commissioner (Ambassador) and Steele connection fits better this way.
If they didn't do it when Adlai Stevenson ran against Ike, it wasn't "accepted procedure."

Didn't Nixon get impeached for something along those lines? I seem to remember something. Hmmm.
Don’t you think Trump might have some inside knowledge on this one? Has he been wrong yet? Sheesh.....

Without an indictment, and there won’t be any, this will fade into oblivion, marked as a Trump Delusion. Thanks, Jeffery.
My 2 cents outlandish theory is even better than you can imagine. It helps answer the question that should be on everyone's mind right now: With all of this pervasive and illicit surveillance in place, how did Trump win?
1. Various officials in the Obama administration were conducting extensive surveillance of Trump campaign officials for months (if not longer) leading up to the election.
2. The Trump campaign knew about it.
3. THEY TOOK ACTIVE STEPS TO UNDERMINE IT.
Unnecessary. They already knew, and approved.
Everytime they do this it backfires, next we will find the spy who was embedded.
Of course not! It’s just like the time Trump said he was being wiretapped. Ridiculous! /s
