there was a spy in his campaign. on the contrary, james clapper confirmed an informant was needed because of evidence based n investigation showing that there was a need for someone to go into the campaign and find out what the heck was going on with the russians trying to communicate with the potential future president of the united states. >> again, i go back to the reverse universe where you say suppose we had an fbi that did not check out evidence that the russians were messing with our presidential election including one of the campaigns that they were taking one of the sides. if they were not doing that, what would we make of the fbi in terms of counter intelligence? were they doing their job? of course, not. well the president continued to purposefully misrepresent the fact on twitter this morning, falsely saying that the former director of national intelligence, james clapper "has now admitted that there was spying in my campaign."
