Im shocked to hear they put a spy in the campaign. Spy in the campaign . Back to the fbi. Fbi spies or two spies. It could be a second spy. Spy revelation. A spy inside. To spy on the republican candidate for president. If there is a spy, they got nothing from it. If they ran a spy ring, that is an absolute red line. An echo chamber. Remarkable. That is what the surrogate message is here. The chicken or the egg. Did trump start it or fox news . A good question. James clapper fighting back after the president misquoted him about fbi spying. Here is what the president claims the former director of National Intelligence said followed by clappers actual words on wednesday. If you look at clapper, he admitted they had spies in the campaign yesterday inadvertently. Was the fbi spying on Trumps Campaign . No, they were not. They were spying on a term i dont particularly like, on what the russians were doing. Trying to gain access and leverage and influence. Thats what they do.
