More revelations as the president noticed about what really happened in the early spring of 2016 and it turns out there was suspicion perhaps amongst the intelligence op opporatus and concern that the russians were infiltrating or playing a role in the Trump Campaign. Rather than approach the trump people, they would people in place, socalled informants or spies to maybe go in there and find out, probe around and see where the russians had gained access.
