President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had admitted that the FBI spied on his presidential campaign, further escalating his attacks on the law enforcement and intelligence communities charged with probing possible collusion with Russia.
"Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign," Trump tweeted, referring to an interview Clapper did Tuesday on ABC's "The View."
But that's false Clapper did not say that. Responding to a direct question from one of the hosts, Joy Behar "Was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?" Clapper said, "No, they were not."
He went on to explain that the purpose of the FBI's reported use of an informant, which is different from a "spy," was to determine what the Russians were doing.

a spy vs informant... the thing about liars is they make you become a lawyer in what you say. It all depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is after all.
Clapper admitted that they had a SPY inserted in the Trump campaign. The media can defend why, but this is unprecedented
Whom do you believe? Trump or a massive liar?
He said TWICE the FBI was, “Spying”.
The level of dishonesty from our media is just staggering.
Great news!!! The View is cancelled.
It all depends on what the meaning of “is” is. Same ol sh!t
Ohhhhh... so they were protecting Trump from Russians. Now I get it!
Who you gonna believe?
Us or your lyin’ ears?........................
It is interesting how these duche bag lib sites like NBC don’t let people comment. Clappers whole argument is based on the premise Brennen is an honorable guy, the same guy that has stated so many times how he can’t stand Trump. My god people that believe NBC must be stupid.
Oh, brother. Keep it up, guys, November's getting closer.
NBC News, you should have kept quiet. Expect a Tweet from Donald Trump.
Put down the crack pipe.
Don’t tease me.....................
IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK, NBC. IT WON’T BE LONG NOW.
The White House Plumbers were set up because John Dean was concerned that certain members of the DNC were involved in romantic relationships with women who were actually prostitutes.
Tomato, tomato, Potato, potato... Or a “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. People are not as dumb as the left wing socialist clap trap media personalities think they are.
We all know what a spy is and this BS line that it was for the good of Trump, or in the interest of the United States is pure unadulterated BS, and we all know it so quit pretending that you can make it otherwise.
